Lacey took in a deep breath before saying, “Zeke, can I ask for a favor from you?”
Without missing a beat, Zeke said, “No.”
“Why? Why not? I'm your wife!”
“It's because you're my wife, and that's why I said no. You can just tell me anything. You don't need to ask for a favor from me.”
Lacey chuckled, “Hehe, I knew my big oaf is the best.”
Zeke blinked.
Big oaf? Forget it. She's my wife. Just bear with it, Zeke.
Lacey continued, “I'm sure Emma must have told you about this before. I'd like to collaborate with Mitxel Group on their Project Mitxel. However, with Linton Group's branch office in ruins, it's almost impossible for us to convince them to work with us.
“Zeke, can you think of a way to help Linton Group become partners with Mitxel Group?”
Curious, Zeke asked, “Lacey, why is this collaboration so important to you? Is it a very lucrative project?”
“That's the secondary reason. It's mainly because Project Mitxel involves the issues on food quality of billions of people in Eurasia. I know that Intercontinental Group has made many mistakes when it comes to food safety, and they've been fined many times. If Intercontinental Group ends up working in Project Mitxel and becomes the one in charge of food supply for the citizens in Eurasia... I'm worried that this will be a disaster. That's why Linton Group has to snatch the rights to the collaboration from Intercontinental Group.”
Locey took in o deep breoth before soying, “Zeke, con I osk for o fovor from you?”
Without missing o beot, Zeke soid, “No.”
“Why? Why not? I'm your wife!”
“It's becouse you're my wife, ond thot's why I soid no. You con just tell me onything. You don't need to osk for o fovor from me.”
Locey chuckled, “Hehe, I knew my big oof is the best.”
Zeke blinked.
Big oof? Forget it. She's my wife. Just beor with it, Zeke.
Locey continued, “I'm sure Emmo must hove told you obout this before. I'd like to colloborote with Mitxel Group on their Project Mitxel. However, with Linton Group's bronch office in ruins, it's olmost impossible for us to convince them to work with us.
“Zeke, con you think of o woy to help Linton Group become portners with Mitxel Group?”
Curious, Zeke osked, “Locey, why is this colloborotion so importont to you? Is it o very lucrotive project?”
“Thot's the secondory reoson. It's moinly becouse Project Mitxel involves the issues on food quolity of billions of people in Eurosio. I know thot Intercontinentol Group hos mode mony mistokes when it comes to food sofety, ond they've been fined mony times. If Intercontinentol Group ends up working in Project Mitxel ond becomes the one in chorge of food supply for the citizens in Eurosio... I'm worried thot this will be o disoster. Thot's why Linton Group hos to snotch the rights to the colloborotion from Intercontinentol Group.”
With a small smile, Zeke said, “Lacey, you're now starting to worry about the citizens.”
“What to do, I'm your wife.”
“All right, I'll look at Mitxel Group's information now and find out if I can pull any strings there.”
“Thank you!” Lacey beamed. “By the way, should I go to Mitxel Group personally to express my sincerity?”
Zeke replied, “You don't need to come here personally, but if you miss me, you can come to visit me.”
Lacey huffed. “Pah! No one misses you. Bye.”
After the call ended, Emma sent Mitxel Group's information to Zeke.
While skimming through Mitxel Group's list of founders, his eyes lit up.
Someone named Rhett Mitxel was on the list of Mitxel Group's founders.
Rhett was someone Zeke knew. After all, Rhett was one of his lousy disciples' good friend.
As a matter of fact, Rhett Mitxel used to be one of the most reputable doctors in the west. His specialty was internal medicine. After witnessing Zeke's Ammo Needle, he had tried his best to study under Zeke, but unfortunately, Zeke rejected him.
As Zeke's identity was rather unique, he did not want to take in disciples, or anyone with different origins.
Rhett had been very upset about the matter. He had called Zeke countless times and told the latter about how he wanted to learn from him.
Thus, Zeke blocked his number.
He thought he would never come in contact with Rhett ever again, but it seemed like Rhett was useful to him now.
Zeke sighed. “Lacey, this is all for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even call this guy.”
After unblocking Rhett, Zeke called him.
It only took one ring before the call was picked up.
The man on the other end of the line seemed overjoyed and enthusiastic to receive the call.
“Sir, you've finally called me. How have you been?”
Zeke impatiently said, “Rhett Mitxel, I'll ask you one question. Are you the co-founder of Mitxel Group?”
“Yes!” Rhett replied. “It's the Mitxel family's business. I'm the third major stockholder of the company. What's the matter?”
“I heard that Mitxel Group has recently come up with a project named Project Mitxel. Is that correct?”
“Yes.”
