Partners?
What reason was there for him to partner u p with an insignificant secretary like me?
"How about this, Mr. Isaac?"
| remained vigilant. "Why don't you first tellwhy you're concerned about my commission? Only then we can
delve into details. Isn't that right?"
The smile on Mr. Isaac's face deepened slightly. "You're a really straightforward person, Ms. Lane."
As soon as he said that, he pulled out a bank card from a file and placed it on the coffee table. Pushing it toward
me, he said with a smile, "There's 300,000 dollars in this card, but this surely won't be enough for you, Ms. Lane.
This money is just to treat you to tea. If you can helpput in a few good words in front of Mr. Grant, facilitating
the cooperation between Mr. Grant and me, then I'll put as much money into this card as you want as long as it's
within my scope of capability."
| glanced at the bank card on the coffee table and was amused, saying, "Are you askingto give up on the bid
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand tell Mr. Grant that you're a great partner who he can consider partnering up with?"
"Precisely.” Mr. Isaac smiled kindly. "It's no wonder Mr. Grant chose you. You sure are clever."
He grossedout the more | looked at him, and | felt slightly sick inside.
Mr. Isaac then pushed the bank card closer to me, signalingto keep it.
I was in no hurry to take it. Looking at the bank card in front of me, | said mildly," 300,000 dollars is a significant
amount for me. When the deal is sealed, the remaining that you give will be enough forto make the down
payment for a house in Hommitton. You've shown enough sincerity, Mr. Isaac.
"But..." The smile on my face deepened. " That's not how the calculation should be made. You probably don't
know Fredericks Corporations’ commission draw system. The company has always been generous to its
employees. The person in charge of a project will typically draw 20 percent from i t. I'm sure you know how much
investment Mr. Grant has put in for this project as well as the subsequent profits that'll be generated. After
counting all of that, don’t you think I'm at a disadvantage, Mr. Isaac?" Mr. Isaac's smile froze on his face. His gaze
when he looked atchilled as well. "Do you know what the consequences of a woman's greed are, Ms. Lane?"
I laughed. "How can you say that, Mr. Isaac? How can you call this greed?
"Judging from the relationship I share with Mr. Grant, he'll most likely choose Fredericks Corporations. With that,
not only will | make a lot of money but Fredericks Corporations will also get better and better. If | accept this
300,000 dollars from you, then not only will all the profit go to you, but I'll also have trouble staying in the
business field if others learn that | sold my company for a mere 300,000 dollars."
| pushed the bank card back with a smile." I'm not being greedy, Mr. Isaac. | just don't wish to be taken
advantage of by others."
| got up to leave after saying that.
When | got to the bidding hall, Jordan's long and slender figure was particularly striking. I walked up to him and
asked mildly, "How sure are you about this project?"
He looked atand asked with his brows raised, "Shouldn't | be the one to ask you this question?"
| sneered. "You've been preparing for this project for at least half a month now and must have put Lally in charge
previously. Y o suddenly putin charge solely to use m e, right?"
Jordan pursed his lips and looked into the distance without speaking.
After a long time, he slowly said, "But | may not be able to use you now."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
| shrugged. "Indeed."
After all, | had said so many hurtful things t o Theo this afternoon and could no longer shamelessly try to
negotiate a deal with him.
The bidding event officially began, and everyone took their seats.
| looked aroundbut did not see Lally. | approached Jordan and curiously asked," Are you really going to use
my bid proposal?"
He raised his eyebrows. "Can't I?"
I nodded. "You can."
He was the boss. He could do whatever made him happy.
Soon after Keith got on stage, he succinctly and clearly explained the requirements and plans for Grant
Corporation's bidding. Later, he asked each bidder to con stage and introduce their strengths.
There were a total of 19 companies, but only less than seven companies were actually capable enough to stay
and compete in the final bidding.
| listened carefully the whole tand found that most proposals were similar. | grew sleepy from listening to «
them.
