He looked at me with excitement, refusing to let me go. "This time it went really smoothly, like a knife through butter. We had a total of 120 foreign companies attending the business meeting. They were all carefully selected, and quite powerful with substantial funds. Many of them are quite interested in medical equipment projects."
"Really?" I feigned delight.
"Absolutely! Our Dawson family has a significant foothold in the medical equipment industry, so they are very interested in us. Six of them are interested in collaborating with us. Six, what a lucky number!"
Jaylan couldn't hide his joy, gesticulating wildly as he recounted the successful negotiations.
I watched his antics, understanding clearly that this was his element. They, the Dawson family, love this kind of flaunting and superficiality.
"Before the end, we reached an agreement. They will form a delegation to visit our city and inspect our company. The city leaders are also taking this very seriously. Before I got back, I had a meeting in the city first."
Jaylan couldn't contain his joy and said, "Caleb did a great job this time. His speech was absolutely fantastic. He was a true talent. To grow a business, we need the talented, and we need to be brave enough to employ the talented."
I snorted silently. Nice words. He only just realized this. Of course, Caleb was not like the good-for-nothing Dawsons. He was worth a hundred of them. In no time, Jaylan would know Caleb's even greater abilities.
"Who did you take with you this time?" I suddenly asked, changing the subject.
