"A fifty billion compensation contract?"
Sitting in the luxurious massage chair in the cabin, Lin Yan raised an eyebrow at Lun Si opposite him. No wonder he was controlled. Fifty billion in compensation was an astronomical sum for a driver. Even top drivers might not earn that much in their lifetime through salary alone.
Lin Yan was sure of this. In his previous life, he had received the highest salary in GP. Even with other commercial activities, earning fifty billion was difficult unless you had a decent business acumen and could make money grow.
"If you can help me pay off this contract, I'll give you the evidence and testify for you."
Lun Si, sitting opposite him, said with a hint of pleading.
Lun Si's attitude was very humble. At this moment, Lin Yan was his only lifeline. If Lin Yan refused to help him, he truly had no other recourse.
"I won't help you pay this compensation."
Lin Yan said indifferently, refusing directly.
"The evidence I have can completely cripple the Song family. Defeating the Song family is worth twenty billion."
Hearing that Lin Yan didn't intend to help him, Lun Si became visibly anxious. If not for his leg injury, he would have probably knelt before Lin Yan.
Crippling the Song family. Lin Yan's lips curled. It seemed the evidence Lun Si held was indeed useful, or rather, extremely useful.
"I said I won't help you pay off this compensation, but that doesn't mean I won't help you."
Lin Yan spoke again. Twenty billion to weaken the Song family's strength was a very worthwhile deal, extremely so. However, he couldn't bring himself to hand over this money to the Song family for nothing.
It wasn't that Lin Yan couldn't afford it or was unwilling to pay, but he was unwilling to give it to his family's rival. Lin Yan could invest this twenty billion in his master's racetrack instead of giving it to the Song family to deal with him.
"Give me the evidence, and I can help you stall the lawsuit with the Song family. You should know I have the capability to do so."
Lin Yan continued.
The Lin family's legal department was no less capable than the Song family's; they were evenly matched, or even superior. While they might not be able to win the lawsuit and avoid the payment, stalling it was certainly possible.
"No, that won't do."
Hearing this, Lun Si shook his head. Stalling was acceptable, but one couldn't stall forever, right? There would always be a time to pay. He disagreed with stalling. As long as this money wasn't paid, it would always be a hurdle in his mind.
"You should know that you have no right to negotiate with me. If you're unwilling, the person in the room might be willing."
Lin Yan's gaze swept towards a room in the cabin, where Lun Si and the chief mechanic were accommodated.
"No, Lin Yan, he can only testify for you, but the evidence to bring down the Song family is only with me. As long as you help me pay this money, I'll give it to you."
Seeing Lin Yan like this, Lun Si became desperate.
Lun Si still insisted on Lin Yan helping him pay off the exorbitant breach of contract fee before he would hand over the evidence.
"Then we have nothing to discuss, Lun Si."
Lin Yan stood up, preparing to leave. Of course, he wasn't actually leaving; he was just trying to scare Lun Si.
As expected, Lin Yan's scare tactic made Lun Si panic. He almost lunged forward to stop Lin Yan, but Li Wei held him back.
"One sentence: I can help you stall. You give me the evidence."
Lin Yan spoke, his tone firm this time.
"This..."
Lun Si hesitated.
"How can you guarantee that this money won't end up being paid by me?"
"That's simple. Sign this. From now on, you'll be a member of my Lin family, and the Lin family will protect you."
Lin Yan tossed over a pre-prepared contract.
Seeing the contract Lin Yan suddenly produced, Lun Si was stunned. He suddenly felt like he had walked into a trap.
He subconsciously picked up the contract and glanced at it.
"Breach of contract penalty of one hundred billion. No, I can't sign this!"
Upon seeing the one hundred billion penalty in the contract, Lun Si almost jumped up. He had already begged and pleaded for a twenty billion penalty; this one hundred billion would mean selling himself and still not being able to pay it.
"Look closely. As long as you don't betray us, this won't apply. Moreover, your leg is injured, which has affected your future career. This also provides you with a job."
Lin Yan reminded him. The Song family's contract hid the breach of contract penalty within the contract to trap Lun Si, so they had time to stall. However, the contract he offered was clearly stated. As long as Lun Si showed any intention of betrayal, it could be forcibly executed.
Holding the contract and looking at the salary offered, Lun Si began to hesitate.
"Don't worry, I won't do to you what the Song family did. You can have this contract confirmed by a lawyer you trust in your country after we land, and then sign it."
Lun Si lowered his head and looked. In his current state, his injuries were already severe. His fractured leg, after being stomped on by a Song family subordinate, was now completely unusable. Even if his injuries could recover in the future, his professional career had likely come to an end.
To be honest, the salary Lin Yan offered was not low; it was very high, almost approaching the level of a professional racer. He had no reason to refuse, but he just couldn't accept it.
Now, Lun Si's hatred towards Lin Yan had significantly decreased. He hated the Song family.
Lin Yan had merely fired him as a boss, but the Song family had tried to kill him. He knew which was more important.
"I need to confirm this contract after the plane lands. Once confirmed, I will give you the evidence. The process won't take too long, but you must guarantee my safety from now on, and you must confirm that I don't have to repay this twenty billion."
"Rest assured, as long as you don't run around, I will send people to protect you. As for the twenty billion, it can be written into the contract."
Lin Yan said. Setting aside Lun Si's personality, this guy still had some value. After all, his strength was undeniable. His skill and talent were superior to Ren Fei's, something Lin Yan had always acknowledged.
As for the twenty billion, not to mention anything else, stalling for two to three years was completely fine. With the Lin family's strength, the Song family would essentially cease to exist within a year if they were pushed out of the top families. Lin Yan didn't take this twenty billion seriously at all.
It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but that he didn't want to give it. Rubbing his nose, Lin Yan realized he was becoming more and more like an unscrupulous capitalist.
