“The gift has already been delivered,” Melody said as she descended from the second floor. “Mr. Maurice of Windwell Pharma Group just had a baby girl last month, so we sent a toy for the child.”

She turned to Chase and continued, “I just spoke with him. He has a very favorable impression of our hospital. The success rate is around sixty percent.”

Chase clicked his tongue. “That low?”

Wendy, however, said calmly, “It’s not low at all.”

For investors, sixty percent was more than worth taking a gamble on.

She turned to Melody. “You know what to do. Before Cloud Hospital goes public, secure the agency rights and exclusive usage approval for this new drug.”

“Yes, Ms. Quinn.” Melody replied respectfully.

Once Melody and Maggie had gone back upstairs to continue negotiations, Chase pulled Wendy aside, his expression filled with worry. “Aren’t we putting too much pressure on Melody?”

“That’s the nature of project work,” Wendy replied. “If it doesn’t succeed, all effort is wasted. With a sixty percent chance, as long as she handles it properly, even if she doesn’t close it today, she can still push that number to seventy–five.”

Such a precise figure left Chase even more confused.

But the one who should be standing beside her was him!

“Mr. Goodman, I have some business matters to discuss with Wendy,” Henry said bluntly as he stepped in.

He was certain Wendy would not turn him down.

Sure enough, Chase instinctively looked at her, and Wendy gave a slight nod. “Then why don’t you go take a break?”

Chase pretended to be disappointed and turned to head for the third–floor balcony.

The constant toasts and business chatter at the banquet did not suit him. He would rather get some air outside.

Besides, it gave Henry his chance.

“Hey, Chase, do you remember me?” A voice sounded from behind him, and he turned to find a man in a white suit, causing him to jump slightly in surprise.

Chase hesitated, “You’re…?”
