Sheryl narrowed her eyes and paused as she collected her thoughts.
"I promise, you don't need to worry about the money. Mr. Su said that the budget is no problem as long as you can satisfy him," Dillon hastily interjected.
Isla looked at Sheryl with a puzzled look, wondering what she was thinking. "Sher, what's on your mind?"
Now that she had gone here, Sheryl couldn't return empty-handed. She finally looked up at Dillon and inquired carefully, "Dillon, could you… could you allow me to see the plans of the other companies? You do have copies of the plans, right?"
Since Sheryl couldn't meet Cary directly, she had no choice but to look for clues from other companies' plans. Maybe by this way she could find something common factor among them that Cary disliked. Therefore, she could avoid such unsatisfactory elements in their own plan.
Isla had contributed a great deal to the company. Now that she was back now, she thought she should do something to lighten the others' burden, especially Isla's. Proposing a satisfactory plan would be a good start.
"Uh…" Dillon furrowed his brows, feeling a little awkward because of the unusual request that bordered on inappropriate. He, of course, had copies of these plans. Giving them to Sheryl, however, may be rather unconventional in the commercial field.
"Don't worry. I just thought I could use them as references. If you really don't trust me, I can look at the plans under your supervision. I just want to see whether my speculation is right or not. Maybe after I review those plans, I can find out why Mr. Su was unsatisfied," she explained faintly.
"Dillon, come on. You should trust us. We've already cooperated with each other for a long time," Isla urged Dillon on with a wide smile.
Hearing what Isla said, Dillon could only slightly nod his head in agreement. He still added, however, "I will agree to your request because I trust you. I can show you the copies. But I have to remind you in advance, if this is exposed, I won't take responsibility."
Isla replied with a big smile at his reminder. "Don't worry. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility."
Given Isla's assurance, Dillon went to his office to pick up his laptop. He showed them the folder containing the files and let them have it. "These are the other companies' plans. You can look through what you want."
He then sat opposite Sheryl and poured himself a glass of tea as he gestured for Sheryl to proceed leisurely.
Although Dillon said he wouldn't be responsible, he was still worried that something bad would happen. He decided to stay and oversee their actions.
Sheryl began reviewing the company plans. From what she knew, the companies that proposed plans were all well-known and reliable in the field, so she wondered why their plans would fail to satisfy Cary.
As she went through the first plan, she admitted that it was good, but she narrowed her eyes as she delved further into it.
Although the activities displayed the luxury image, there was no substantial and novel content. It was no wonder that Cary felt unsatisfied.
From the looks of it, the other companies made the same mistake as well. They thought that the activity was targeted only at the rich, so their emphasis was only on luxury, while the substance was lost in the fanciness.
After skimming through all the plans, Sheryl knew how to formulate a sound plan. Isla also identified the aspects that the other companies lacked, so she looked up at Sheryl and asked to confirm, "So, you know what the main problem is?"
"I think I've spotted the biggest reason why they failed," Sheryl replied confidently.
