Chapter 08

Penulis: Lord Leaf
The next morning, Claire brought the file filled with proposals that she had prepared overnight and went to the Emgrand Group office with Charlie.

Standing in front of the 100-story building, Claire suddenly felt as if her heart was hollow and empty.

How could such a magnificent company like Emgrand collaborate with the Wilson family? Not to mention that they were aiming for a thirty million dollars deal.

It was like a beggar approaching a wealthy man and asking for a thirty million dollar change. It was absolutely ridiculous.

However, she had promised her grandmother and accepted the challenge in front of everyone, so she had to go for it no matter what…

Sensing her anxiety, Charlie stroked her head tenderly and said, “Dear, don’t worry, go ahead, you’ll make it. Trust me.”

Claire sighed dejectedly and murmured, “Alright, let’s hope so! Wait for me here.”

She took a deep breath and walked through the door.

As he watched her walking in, Charlie took out his phone and called Doris.

“Doris, my wife is going up to see you as we speak. You should know what to do!”

“Yes, Mr. Wade. Don’t worry, I’ll fulfill your missus’s every request.”

“By the way, I heard that Emgrand Group has a rather close connection with the Jones family. Is that true?”

“Yes, we did have a lot of projects with them, completed and ongoing. They wish to collaborate with us again on this new megaproject and they’ve submitted the proposals and materials for my review. However, it is up to you to decide, Mr. Wade.”

Charlie said coldly, “I don’t want the Jones family to be involved in the new project and any other projects in the future.”

“Yes, sure. Don’t worry, I’ll do as you say!”

***

Meanwhile, Claire walked into Emgrand Group’s office building and waited for her appointment at the front desk. She didn’t even know if Doris Young, the company’s vice-chairman, would like to see her.

Not long after, a graceful female assistant approached her and began, “Hi, are you Miss Claire Wilson? Miss Young is waiting for you in her office, please follow me.”

Claire nodded in a trance. She was still waiting in line to make an appointment, how did Miss Young know she was here and call her in already?

Could it be that Doris Young knew she was coming?

It didn’t make sense though…how could a prominent individual like Doris Young know about her?

Although she couldn’t figure it out, she might as well grab the rare opportunity as she was given. She quickly followed the assistant and she was escorted directly to Doris’s office.

Doris stood up from her chair and greeted Claire respectfully. “Hi, Miss Wilson, I’m Doris Young, vice chairman of Emgrand Group, nice meeting you.”

Claire was a little nervous as she met the most famous businesswoman in Aurous Hill. She spoke, her voice trembling anxiously but staying calm, “Hello, Miss Young, thank you for seeing me. I’m here to talk to you about the hotel project. Although Wilson Group is not as strong and prominent as other companies, I can assure you that we work very hard and have established a very positive reputation in the interior design and decoration industry!”

She handed over a document file and continued, “Miss Young, this is Wilson Group’s portfolio, please have a look.”

Doris smiled gently and took the document from her. After a brief glance, she said immediately, “Miss Wilson, I’ve seen your documents, I think you are the perfect partner for us.”

“Really? Is it true?” Claire gaped in bewilderment. Why did it go so quickly and smoothly? It was a little too easy, wasn’t it?

Doris said with a smile, “Of course. I admit that Wilson Group does not match our requirements and qualifications, but our chairman thinks highly of you and he is willing to give it a shot.”

“Your chairman?” Claire said in a shocking tone, then asked, “May I know who your chairman is? ”

Doris smiled faintly. “Our chairman is Mr. Wade from Eastcliff.”

“Mr. Wade?”

Claire frowned in confusion. “I don’t think I know anyone by the last name of Wade except for my husband.”

Doris nodded gently. Charlie had ordered her not to disclose his identity, so she could only say that much.

Other than Charlie Wade, Claire didn’t know anyone by the last name of Wade, but she would never have guessed that her useless husband, who was an orphan, would be the Mr. Wade that Doris was referring to.

Then, Doris added, “Miss Wilson, I see in your proposal that your quotation for the agreement is thirty million dollars?”

Claire nodded anxiously and asked timidly, “Is it too much?”

Doris smiled and answered, “Oh no, it is actually less than what we have budgeted for.”

Claire furrowed curiously. “What do you mean?”

“Our chairman told me to increase the quotation to sixty million dollars.”

In the middle of the conversation, Doris retrieved a contract and handed it to Claire. “Look, we’ve drafted the contract in advance for a total of sixty million dollars. If you have no problem with it, we can sign the contract now.”

“Huh? This…”

Claire gaped, dumbfounded.

She had never expected that Emgrand Group, which seemed so unreachable from Wilson Group’s perspective, would prepare the contract beforehand!

Moreover, the amount had doubled!

Grandma’s goal for the project was 30 million dollars, but the contract literally stated 60 million dollars in black and white!

Suddenly, she recalled her husband’s serious and earnest face when he had asked her to accept the task at the family meeting the previous night.

Why was he so confident?

When they were at Emgrand Group’s entrance, she was very doubtful and pessimistic, but he seemed so positive and undaunted.

Could it be that he had known the outcome all along?

Who was he...

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6660

    Ivy's words actually convinced the others too, as some agreed with her viewpoint before they knew it, and what little spark of conflict or discontent fizzled out.The vibes in the room improved immensely as everyone quickly came to an agreement, and they were soon drinking happily.Kenny had good alcohol tolerance but had to restrain himself, and he feigned reaching his limit halfway through, rubbing his temples one moment or lying sprawled on the table the next.Even Ivy was fooled, and she was rubbing his back and bringing him warm water, doting on him endlessly.Seeing that Kenny appeared drunk, the others did not toast to him any longer and quickly concluded the banquet since he really did look sick.They even helped him out of the building and put him in the shotgun seat while Ivy took the wheel before heading home themselves.Once they were a few hundred yards away, Kenny's limp form suddenly straightened, and he told Ivy, "Take a right up ahead."Ivy was startled by his s

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6659

    Kenny, Ivy, and the other vice-presidents were all relieved that Tim was willing to concede his position, because to them, they had been worried that Kenny would make them give up their positions instead.While they were sick of Jacob, none of them were keen on making an enemy of him when he had Don Albert's backing.In fact, none of them would dare to refuse to give up their positions even if they were chosen.Still, Kenny couldn't resist giving Ivy a thumbs-up under the table, seeing that the issue was resolved for the time being.Even he had to admit that his wife's plan was perfectly precise. With Tim's approval, they could reshuffle their respective positions to accommodate Jacob when he returned tomorrow.She even spoke up just then, "Let's drink in Tim's honor! It's all thanks to him that we've resolved this!""Yes, exactly!" Kenny exclaimed, quickly getting to his feet and holding up his glass as he told everyone, "Come, let's all drink in Tim's honor and thank him for hi

    One of them even said, "Look, Mr. Bay—that loser is both incompetent and a sorry excuse for a person! Now that we've finally kicked him out, we can't let him back in, no matter what happens!"Everyone else nodded in agreement. They didn't just hate Jacob—they refused to let him return and threaten their present positions!Kenny sighed in exasperation. "Let me put it to you this way—Don Albert is so domineering in Aurous Hill, and he will personally restore Jacob to administrative vice-president if we decide to play deaf. And who do you think will be able to survive that pressure from him?!"Everyone traded glances as there was no question that Don Albert was indeed a big deal.Moreover, word on the street was that he was now considered a member of Eastcliff's Wade family.That meant he had access to their connections, and controlling the human resource department of the Calligraphy and Painting Association would be all too easy for him.That was when Ivy spoke up from beside Kenn

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6657

    While Kenny was enthusiastically preparing for the night's dinner function, Charlie brought Elaine and Jacob to a restaurant near Thompson first. Claire was working overtime, and it would be very late if they waited for her to start cooking.As soon as they sat down, Jacob was sighing and muttering, "I really don't want to leave the house anymore… The trip to Dubai almost killed me.""That's because you wore yourself out over nothing," Elaine retorted. "Losing twenty million for spare change? It still hurts me just thinking about it.""Urgh, don't even start. Let me live another couple of years," Jacob groaned, waving her off. Then, he straightened up and turned toward Charlie, "By the way, do you think Don Albert can really get me back in the Calligraphy and Painting Association?"Charlie smiled. "It wouldn't be that difficult for him." Jacob nodded. "I'm satisfied if I could just return. If I can't, what am I going to do? What a bother…"Charlie ignored him and ordered some

    Just hearing that Ivy was ready to take charge left Kenny annoyed, and he asked sarcastically, "Did you think things can't get any worse? Forget talking to them—I would lose my presidency of the Calligraphy and Painting Association by the time you're done!"Ivy wasn't upset despite his complaint. "Look, dear, I messed this up for you, so just give me a chance to make things right.""Fine! Then tell me, how are you going to start things off?" Kenny demanded. "Everyone in the hierarchy loathes Jacob, and his being gone was exactly what they wanted. They're never going to agree to letting him back, especially when his old position of administrative vice-president has been taken. Or do you think they'd willingly take a demotion?"Ivy shrugged. "Haven't you heard the phrase 'the king yet lives'?"Kenny sighed. "I mean, sure? It's about how rivaling factions in a monarchy never release news about a dead monarch until they have sorted out who will claim the crown, right?""Exactly," Ivy

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6655

    Ivy asked before she knew it, "What's that supposed to mean? What did I do?"Worried that others outside might overhear, Kenny growled furiously under his breath, "It's all your fault for telling me to throw Jacob Wilson to the dogs! But the thing is, he's buddies with Don Albert again! And Don Albert himself called me just now!""For what?" Ivy asked, perplexed. "I mean, didn't you tell him that it was Jacob who embarrassed himself? Why would he call you instead?"Kenny snapped angrily. "He's demanding I answer for Jacob's dismissal! Why else would he call about that?""Oh…" Ivy was silent for a while, but she soon assured Kenny, "Just hear me out for a moment, dear—let's ignore what Don Albert said. I mean, he can complain all he wants, but he can't do anything. Your promotion is coming up soon, too, right?""Once you report in to the new unit, the Calligraphy and Painting Association is just a subordinate unit. That means the mess with Jacob isn't any of your business, and if p
