My Company uses Google Chat(G Suite) as an IM client.
I'm having trouble and don't want to receive chat notifications from a specific person.

I want to clear the "Notifications" checkbox in the attached image http://wcblitzy.blogspot.com/2015/07/86-hangouts-how-to-turn-off-chat.html

So I referred to the official help. However, it seems that I can't change the notification settings until I open a chat with the person.

  1. Go to Hangouts at hangouts.google.com or in Gmail.
  2. Click a contact or conversation.
  3. Click Settings.
  4. Untick Notifications.

As you know, Google Chat has "Read receipts". Once I open a chat, the opening notification will be shared with the person.

I am in a position to refuse any contact with the person, so I don't even want to know what I've read.

I just want to avoid opening chats and getting notifications from him, but is there any way?
