The Love that Never Really Dies novel Chapter 561

“Wait. Mr. Hayes, I heard that your wife used to work in the finance industry. How about we let her in on this? Maybe she can offer us some insights and suggestions?”

Sasha was stunned. She didn’t expect anyone to stop her and invite her to join a meeting that seemed rather important.

Me? Joining them? How can that work? I am not a part of this company, and the projects Hayes Corporation invests in are valued at over ten billion. If I make a mistake, I will cause my husband to lose a fortune.

Sasha instinctively wanted to reject that offer.

Unfortunately, the man sitting behind the desk was amused and was smiling at her. He nodded and replied, “That sounds fantastic. Sasha, you can sit there.”

Sasha was speechless.

She had no choice but to shoot an angry glare at the guy before she walked over and sat beside the top managers.

The managers, however, handed her a thick proposal after she sat down.

“Here’s the gist of it, Mrs. Hayes. The company recently bought a piece of land in an auction. The land is rather vast and we can build houses and apartments on it. Our problem is this if we build everything and its surroundings remain undeveloped, then the prices of real estate will be stagnant, and we won’t be able to attract many buyers.”

One of the managers gave Sasha the cliff’s note version of what was going on.

Projects like those were pretty common for a company like Hayes Corporation.

Yet, they asked me to stay here for the meeting. Why? Did they really encounter something they can’t solve? Or are they just curious about how brainy Mrs. Hayes actually is?

Sasha flipped through the thick documents she had with her. A moment later, she replied calmly, “This is not a good place to build a residential area at all.”

“Huh?” blurted someone. The top managers instantly looked surprised.

“Why would you think that, Mrs. Hayes?”

“That’s simple. The land is located in an old manufacturing district. The government may have made new plans to build more facilities in its surroundings; the previous facilities surrounding that piece of land were chemical factories.”

“So?”

“So it’s obvious, isn’t it? Those chemical factories had been operating for years, so the chemical waste had already polluted its surroundings. Who would live in a place like that? What do we do if something bad happens? Can the company afford to compensate everyone?”

All it took was a few words from Sasha to shut everyone up.

Most employees working there were aware of all that.

However, it was impressive that Sasha, who had never worked in the office or learned anything about the project, made that discovery within a few minutes.

They couldn’t deny that Sasha was truly something else.

“Well then, what do you think we should do with this piece of land?”

“Let’s do something commercial. We already have a lot of shopping malls in Avenport though, so we should look into importing foreign products to attract clients. Maybe something like duty-free outlet stores?”

“Huh?”
