Mr. Laurent laid out a revised contract draft, placing it neatly before Lixue. "We've refined the terms based on our discussion earlier. The exclusivity clause remains, but we've adjusted the collaboration flexibility based on your concerns."
Lixue picked up the document, scanning it with careful eyes. The room was silent except for the occasional flipping of pages.

Mr. Laurent folded his hands. "The executive board, alongside our marketing department."
Lixue's lips curved slightly. "That's quite a broad decision-making body."
