Wendy shook her head and said, “The CEO told us that he won’t have time to meet any guests lately. But regarding the incident with the Zimmers, the CEO has asked me to take charge of that solely. So if you have any request, just tell me directly.”
Mandy took out a stack of documents and handed them to Wendy. She then said softly, “Then I’ll speak frankly with you. Miss Sorrell, the Zimmers’ shopping center project is indeed an exceptional asset. Although you’ve rejected us twice before, we still want to strive for the investment.”
Wendy read through the documents carefully. She then smiled softly and said, “Miss Zimmer, since you came here in person, I won’t make it bad and difficult for you. We can invest in the Zimmers’ shopping center…”
“Really?” Mandy appeared confused. She thought that she would be put in a difficult position, but it never occurred to her that it would be that easy.
“Don’t worry. Just listen to me first.” Wendy said, “But since you were being disrespectful toward York Enterprise before, we’ll only provide thirty million dollars as the investment funds this time around. Besides, we want to increase the profits which we’ll receive based on what we agreed upon before by ten percent. This is the contract we drafted up again. You can take it back with you to read through them. If there’s no problem with it, just sign it and send it back to us. Of course. If the Zimmers think that the conditions are too harsh, you can choose not to cooperate with us. After all, York Enterprise is not in need of this project.”
Mandy read through the contract seriously. But she found that the conditions which were outlined in the contract that time around were much harsher than the one she took back home the other day. The Zimmers were the ones who would have gained most of the benefits in the former contract. But it was different this time around. The Zimmers would not gain many benefits, and they might even suffer a small loss.
However, Mandy did not dare to say much. It was considered quite lucky since they were able to obtain the contract this time around.
Wendy was in no rush. She then said, “Miss Zimmer, just bring the contract home to discuss with the others properly. But York Enterprise isn’t that patient.”
…
In the CEO’s office.
Harvey still liked to buy white T-shirts from stalls set up by the streets. They were simple and casual. He felt quite comfortable wearing those clothes too.
It was the highest building in the entire business district in Niumhi. Standing on the highest floor and taking in the entire view of Niumhi, Harvey felt quite calm.
