Chapter 432
Earley stood up and extended his right hand. “Ms. Daugherty, I hope we will have happy cooperation in the future.”
Adina also got up and moved her chair aside. She shook hands with Earley. “Mr. Earley Wynters, may we have a happy cooperation as well.”
When her hand touched Earley’s hand, she experienced a shiver that rose up her spine from her fingertips. The air was frigid. It was far more frigid than the cold air from a refrigerator.
She only lightly touched Earley’s hand in a symbolic gesture and quickly withdrew.
Earley pulled his hand back and inserted it into the suit pant pocket. He said coldly, “There will be a celebration banquet tomorrow night after today’s tender conference. Don’t forget to attend, Ms. Daugherty.”
After saying that, without waiting for Adina to answer, he ordered his secretary to send Adina and Serene out.
When they got outside and the sunlight shone down their shoulders, Serene let out a sigh of relief, “Ms. Daugherty, don’t you think Mr. Earley Wynters is strange?”
Adina nodded and said, “He is indeed a little strange, but
the good news is that there is less likelihood of us dealing with each other in the future.”
“That’s true.” Serene grinned and said, “Ms. Daugherty, you are truly amazing. You took on such a significant case without making a sound. Our company will not have to worry about the next three years.”
Meanwhile, at Jones Corporation.
“What did you say?” Zhenny raised her head, her exquisitely maintained face showing brief signs of shock. “You said that the chief chip designer for Elitos Corporation’s new project chose someone else from the inside?”
The assistant stood in front of the desk trembling, “Yes, Ms. Jones, Mr. Earley Wynters’s secretary had personally
called me.”
Zhenny put down the pen, took a deep breath, and asked, “Who is the chip designer that Elitos has chosen? Do you know the news?”
The assistant paused for a moment and continued, “I’ve heard that it’s the general manager of a new small company, whose last name appears to be Daugherty. They formally signed the cooperation contract this morning when Ms. Daugherty showed up at Elitos Corporation.”
This indicated that the Jones family had lost all hope.
Zhenny pinched her eyebrows, “For a newly established small company to actually be able to snatch the case on the board from my hands, something smells fishy about
it.”
“Ms. Jones, I also heard that Ms. Daugherty only spent five hours drafting a proposal that amazed the senior management of Elitos, which caused them to forgo the Jones family and choose that small company.”
Zhenny’s eyes turned fiercely cold.
A few seconds later, she sneered coldly while raising the corner of her mouth, “So that’s how it is?” Do they genuinely think that the Jones family is vulnerable to intimidation?”
