Chapter 962
The project manager said with a faint smile, “Do you think such a village girl can successfully negotiate this project?” “This…” General Manager Shi’s face turned pale.
He gulped nervously and asked the project manager again, Joe Seed, are you kidding me? Is that woman really ignorant?”
Shi Kai knew that this project manager, Liu Gaoyi, was from Ulric Swanson, so he did not fully believe his words.
However, his heart was still in a mess.
“My dear President Shi, what kind of relationship do we have? Why would I lie to you?”
“Then, she also said to call the chairman and ask him to give her the contract authorization… Doesn’t this mean that she still has some status in the chairman’s heart? Otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to say that.”
“Tsk, how could the chairman give such an important project to a village girl? No matter how long you wait, this village girl won’t call again.”
When Shi Kai heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned and said, “Joe Seed, she’s Mrs. Swanson after all. It’s not appropriate for you to keep saying that she’s a village girl, right?”
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s my fault.” Liu Gaoyi raised his eyebrows and said, “To think that you still have the time to care about these unimportant titles. You have Fox to care about these things. You should quickly think of a way to get the Eldest Young Master to rush over. This project can’t be delayed. If it drags on, the headquarters won’t know how to deal with us.”
As Liu Gaoyi spoke, he continued, “However, you’re the one following this project the entire time. I’m only doing some auxiliary work. If the headquarters really blames me, you’ll still have to bear the responsibility. When it comes to this, don’t blame me for reminding you first.”
Shi Kai’s face darkened. “Liu Gaoyi, what do you mean? You’re the main person in charge of this project, and you’re already pushing the blame on me? The reason why I followed this project the entire time was because I was afraid that you would make a mistake.”
“Don’t be anxious, CEO Shi. To be honest, the main person in charge of this project isn’t you or me, but the Eldest Young Master. So… if you’re really worried about this Eldest Young Master of yours, quickly find where he lives and wake him up personally.”
Liu Gaoyi lit a cigarette and said with a smile, “Our department’s morning meeting is at 9 AM. I won’t talk to you anymore, President Shi. Think about what I said. We’ve worked together before. I won’t harm you. If you really can’t do anything, come to me. Second Young Master will help you think of a way. He’s kind-hearted and won’t watch you lose your job.”
“I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need! I believe the Eldest Young Master will rush over soon. He’s just sick now. When he recovers…”
“I wonder how long it will take for him to recover. What should I do if he’s sick for half a month? Tsk tsk…”
“Liu Gaoyi, are you cursing Young Master?”
“Huh? How would I dare? I just said the worst possibility. Forget it, forget it. You think I was farting just now. I went to a meeting.”
Liu Gaoyi stubbed out his cigarette and left.
Shi Kai stared at Liu Gaoyi’s back view as he watched the commotion. He gritted his teeth in hatred.
He only dared to speak like this because the Eldest Young Master was not around!
No, that’s not right. Now was not the time to be angry with Liu Gaoyi. The important thing was the project.
The chairman had handed the project to the young master. If the young master could not complete it… their team would probably be suppressed by Liu Gaoyi and the others.
He didn’t want to see the young master’s hard-earned business in Insterimond be taken advantage of.
He had to get the Eldest Young Master to rush over.
However, he didn’t even know which hotel Young Master was staying in. How was he going to find him? Mrs. Swanson had said that he wouldn’t let Young Master come to the company to work today. If he called back, she would definitely stop him.
What should he do?
Shi Kai walked around the office.
At this moment, Shi Kai suddenly thought of James Deeds.
The big shot in front of this young master definitely knew where he was!
However, he did not have the contact information of this famous person.
A moment later, Shi Kai’s eyes suddenly lit up as he recalled a colleague who had been transferred to the headquarters from here not long ago.
He quickly dialed his colleague’s number and said with an apologetic smile, “Hello, Old Luo, I have an urgent matter here. I have to ask you for a favor. Can you help me ask if anyone at the headquarters has the number of Assistant Mr. Deeds?… Huh? Which Assistant is Mr. Deeds? Who else can it be? Of course, it’s Mr. James Deeds!”
On the other side.
After Melody Fox hung up on Shi Kai, he called Ramon Swanson directly.
Ramon Swanson was probably busy, or perhaps he had not accepted her from the bottom of his heart. The first call was hung up after two rings.
She took her time and continued to make the second call.
Finally, after two rings, the phone was picked up. A slightly unhappy voice came from Ramon Swanson. “Melody?
What’s the matter? I still have a lot of things to deal with here. If there’s nothing else…”
“Dad, I’m looking for you for something serious. It’s about the Insterimond branch. The project you handed over to Ken Swanson.”
There was silence on the other end, and then her tone was finally not as impatient as before.
“Did something happen to the project? Where’s Ken Swanson?”
“Nothing happened to the project. Something happened to Ken Swanson. He had a high fever all night. He’s still not feeling well.”
Ramon Swanson was silent for a moment before saying, So what are you trying to say? Don’t tell me… you want to be in charge of this project?”
As expected of an old fox. She hadn’t even said anything, but he had already guessed it.
“Yes, Father, please give me a chance. I will definitely satisfy you. Of course, I know that you are still unclear about my ability, but as long as you give me this chance, I will definitely prove to you that your son’s taste is not wrong and your trust is not in vain.”
“Do you know how much profit we can make if this project is done?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know yet.”
“Three hundred million dollars. Every year.”
The annual profit of 300 million USD was indeed a big project. No wonder Ken Swanson’s subordinate refused to tell her who the project partner was.
Without waiting for Melody Fox to speak, Ramon Swanson continued to ask, “Now, do you still dare to accept this project?”
To businessmen, not earning anything was a loss. Once the cooperation failed, to Ramon Swanson, it was equivalent to losing 300 million USD every year.
Melody Fox took a deep breath and turned to look at Ken Swanson. He suddenly said, “I dare! But it depends on whether you dare or not.”
“Words are useless. If the project fails, what can you give me? You know, as businessmen, we have to see how sincere the other party is before we can take a gamble.”
Melody Fox was silent for two seconds before he suddenly spoke-
