Chapter: 6447

In his mind, Nate thought, this guy has someone from the Rockefeller family backing him up, so even if he does default on the contract, I won't dare to sue him. It's better to just be a good sport and let him feel my trust.

But he didn't expect Jimmy to say very seriously at that moment, "Nate, it's not that I'm afraid of me defaulting on the contract, I'm afraid you'll terminate our agreement prematurely, and then what will I do? I need some kind of guarantee."

"What are you talking about?" Nate hastily replied. "Given our relationship and my trust in you, I would never terminate our agreement prematurely."

Jimmy nodded his head and said, "Although I trust you, I still want to leave a written agreement to avoid any future disputes."

Saying that, Jimmy said, "Alright, we don't need any other complicated clauses. I just want this: if you terminate our agreement prematurely before these 10 years are up, you must compensate me with the total amount of all my salaries and stock options in cash at once, can you agree to that?"

Nate replied without hesitation, "Don't worry, I'm absolutely fine! Just do it as you said!"

Jimmy and Nate were both in a state of joy, signing a 10-year employment contract.

Jimmy was happy because, although he wanted to go to Hua Xia to work for Ye Chen for 10 years, at least Nate could give him an annual salary of $1.44 million, even if he only got three-quarters of it, which would still be enough to support his family's normal expenses.

Nate was happy because he didn't know what this 10-year contract represented; he just felt that the hurdle of Stephen Ross' approval had been overcome.

If Jimmy could help him get closer to Ross in the future, that would be even better.

So, both parties completed the signing with enthusiasm and exchanged the jointly signed contracts.

Subsequently, Jimmy stood up and said, "I just got off the plane and didn't have time to go home before coming to the company. My family is still waiting for me. Since the contract has already been signed, I'll head back first and come to work on schedule tomorrow."

Jimmy didn't plan to tell Nate the real situation now; he needed to take the contract and get it notarized, ensuring that all his rights were protected and there was no worry about anything, before facing Nate with a sword.

Nate at this time had no idea that Jimmy was hiding a massive trap behind him. Seeing Jimmy rushing back tomorrow, Nate hastily said, "Jimmy, you're coming back so far away, the road must be quite tiring too. Why don't you just take a few extra days off, rest well, and adjust your state before coming to work?"

Jimmy thought for no seconds and said, "What's there to think about? After all, the company has been good to me; I certainly can't let it down."

Nate was very satisfied with Jimmy's diligence and praised him, saying, "Jimmy, you have this attitude, I believe your future at Ellis will be limitless!"

Jimmy nodded his head and said with a smile, "Take care of many things for the next ten years."

"Relax!" Nate said, nodding. "I'll definitely fight for more benefits for you in the future, hoping that one day you can become the highest-paid lawyer in the United States!"

Jimmy pretended to agree, saying, "I'll do my best."

Nate clapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Oh, Jimmy, since you're good friends with Mr. Ross, could you invite him to come visit us at the company one day?"

Jimmy said, "This... is not straightforward; it might be a bit inconvenient. Mr. Ross is currently still in China, and I estimate he won't be back anytime soon."

Nate laughed and said, "Don't worry about it; I know he's in China, or you wouldn't have met him. My intention is that after Mr. Ross returns to the United States, you can invite him over to chat."

"Jimmy suddenly had an idea and said, 'How about this? We're going to have a team-building trip around the end of the year, right? Why don't we invite all the board members and high-ranking partners to come together? I'm sure I can get Mr. Ross to join us when we go to China, and then we can have an internal meeting where he participates.'"

Nate looked surprised and asked, "A team-building trip is usually just for fun, not for meetings."

Jimmy explained, "You don't understand this. In Chinese companies, it's very common to combine business with leisure travel. We'll take a few days off, choose a scenic spot, and have the core team go together. Not only will they enjoy their vacation, but they'll also feel appreciated by the company, and we can ensure that middle-level employees don't get access to meeting content, which is beneficial for team cohesion."
