The dinner lasted for three hours. It was after Mayor Lee left that Liam drove away.
Although he had drunk a lot, Liam felt quite sober.
Most importantly, he had achieved his goal.
When Leo rushed back to his company, his assistant Mike rushed to him.
"What the hell happened?"
"We had a deal with the mayor, and we are about to sign the contract, but we were just informed that it was against the rules and might take a while," Mike said.
Leo frowned.
"But everyone knows the company is opening soon. If we delay it, we will lose a lot of money." Mike said.
Leo naturally knew this.
He thought for a moment and said, "They changed their mind at the eleventh hour. There must be some misunderstandings."
"I found out that the president of the Powerline Group and the president of the Miller Group had dinner with the mayor today," Mike said.
It dawned on Leo that what had happened.
It was Liam!
Leo sneered.
'Do you really think you can stop me, Liam?'
Looking back at Mike, he said, "Arrange a dinner with Mayor Lee tomorrow."
Mike nodded and said, "Okay."
Leo put on a faint smile on his face.
***
The next day, Mike went to Leo's office.
"President, Mayor Lee said that he is too busy with meetings to have dinner with you," Mike said.
