Hearing this, Jonathan put down his chopsticks and said to Amelia solemnly, "As long as the enterprise is not declared bankrupt, then we should take initiative to take down the profitable project! Our company is currently awaiting for investments. If we don't take initiative in grabbing the opportunity, then we'll never find a way out from the current situation."
Amelia remained silence. Perhaps Jonathan and her were currently holding different positions and hence their respective considerations and doubts might varied. Apex Construction Corporation could not afford any more mistakes. Hence, she must be extra cautious in making any decisions!
It was as if Jonathan could read her mind from his experienced eyes. He said, "President Ramsay, the market is akin to the battlefield. It'd be good to be cautious. However, exceeding cautions will only make us loss chances. You don't have to worry much of the expenditures. As I said, we are going to have government support at the early stage. Later we can try to ask for investments and sponsorship. In the worst case, we can ask for a loan from the bank. All we need to do is to wait for the completion of the theme park. Once it begins to open for public, somehow we will be managed to fill in the loophole
of money that Daniel had caused."
Amelia was impressed by his explanation. She could not help enquiring him humbly, "Uncle Tucker, in that case, I have another question!"
Jonathan did not seem to be annoyed by her questions. He smiled and said, "Go ahead."
Amelia fired away her question upon his approval, "How will the business go once the theme park is built? I'm afraid that we might end up suffering loss."
Jonathan smiled, "Since the government had proposed this project, certainly they must have evaluated the risk before. In my opinion, President Ramsay can take a look at the number of similar companies who are going to compete with us. Assuming that we are indeed a fool, there's no way that all other companies are going to make the same stupid mistake. Don't you think?"
Amelia blinked her eyes in understanding. Right now she was completely convinced by Jonathan's words, "You're right!"
Jonathan stared at her and asked, "So, may I know what is your decision?"
Amelia took a deep breath as if she had pumped in the confidence for herself and said, "I want to bet on this."
In Room 1601 located on the 16th floor of one of the premium residence in Northville.
A figure with graceful stature could be seen in the empty kitchen where she stared at the instant noodle packet on top of the cabinet in frustration.
She had never really bothered about the taste of the instant noodle. All she cared about was that which brand appealed more to her appetite.
When she was murmuring to herself, the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" The woman muttered in confusion. She put aside her struggle in picking the right instant noodle for herself and turned around in direction of the door.
Moments later...
Stopping at the door, the woman lowered her head so that she could peek at the peephole of the door. Her face was instantly painted with excitement in surprise as soon as she saw the man standing outside.
Leaning over, she earnestly entered a 4-digit passcode before she pressed on the 'confirm' button.
The next second, a beep sounded from the device indicated that the passcode entered was correct.
The woman's face was lit up with joy. She was about to reach the door knob when she suddenly remembered of something. She quickly turned around and rushed to the washroom. Then, she began to tidy herself in front of the mirror.
During this period, the doorbell rang a few more times.
"I'm coming!" The woman shouted and walked out from the bathroom eagerly.
She returned to the door and opened it. She smiled at the man who was standing outside and said, "Hello!"
Patrick did not seem to be irritated despite waiting for some time outside.
Taking a quick glance at Sissi, Patrick asked politely in distant, "May I come in?"
Sissi smiled brightly and said, "Of course!"
