My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1596

Chapter 1596: Clinging

While handling the documents Kian brought, Ayan responded, "I don't plan to withdraw this project anymore. Since it has already started, we shouldn't just pull out. This would greatly impact the project and cause significant losses to the workers who rely on it for their livelihood. So, rather than doing that, it's better to carry on and do the project well."

"If we continue, wouldn't we be giving Preston an advantage? Won't he become even more arrogant?" Kian was somewhat opposed to the idea. If Preston really benefited from this project, he might become uncontrollable.

This would give Preston too much leverage, which was not in line with their initial plan.

What Kian thought of, how could Ayan not have considered?

Ayan smiled faintly and asked Kian, "If you got a project, and it was your company's first project, would it be more painful for you if the project disappeared or if you disappeared from the project?"

Ayan's words left Kian speechless.

Kian stared at Ayan with wide eyes, a bit confused. He seemed to ponder Ayan's last sentence and then asked incredulously, "You mean..."

"So, do you understand what I mean?" Ayan interrupted Kian, smiling. "Sometimes seeing something about to succeed but then fail is far more painful than having that thing completely destroyed. Personal failure is more distressing than overall failure."

He was unwilling to sacrifice too many people for someone like Preston, especially for a good project that would be a pity to lose. Preston shouldn't have such a big influence.

Thinking this way, Ayan naturally acted accordingly, involving Horace and Jenson as the best plan.

With Ayan's guidance, Kian immediately understood his intention and felt that his idol had risen even higher in his heart.

Of course, Ayan didn't know about Kian's inner thoughts. Seeing Kian's admiring gaze, he asked, "Mr. Simpson, when should we start this project?"

Ayan took a document from the drawer and handed it to Kian. "Give this to Jenson."

Kian took the document and glanced at it. The content was a long-held project by Ayan that had not yet been announced publicly. However, Kian, being close to Ayan, knew that this was originally planned as a top-tier project for Simpson Group next quarter.

So when Kian saw it, he was somewhat surprised. "Mr. Simpson, wouldn't this project be too much of a waste?"

"Wind Construction Company is ours. Armstrong Corp will also benefit in the future, so why consider it a waste?"

Wind Construction Company was currently managed by Jenson, but Jenson was one of their own. Any benefits would ultimately belong to them.

Kian understood and quickly took the document to find Jenson.

After Kian left, Ayan finished all the contracts and then picked up his phone to send Camille a message.

He asked, "What are you doing?"

Camille was naturally at the company. Sienna was coming back today; originally planned for a few days later but now arriving earlier due to some incident. The flight would land in Hance City around 8 PM, and Sienna said she wanted to have dinner at Camille and Ayan's home. Camille had just told the housekeeper to delay dinner and prepare a few extra dishes.

She had just put down her phone when she saw Ayan's message.

She called Ayan directly and asked when he answered, "Are you busy?"

Ayan: "Just finished."

Camille quickly told Ayan about Sienna and Rex returning and reminded him, "They're coming over for dinner. Can you leave work early?"
