There was an agreement regarding the HT Group acquiring the Jones’ Long Peace Group on top. The HT Group had acquired the Long Peace Group just two days ago. Selina saw Marshall’s name on top of the agreement and remembered his words the day she returned to the Keith house. “Selina, it’s gonna be the last time. As long as the Jones could revive, I’ll take you back home!” Selina let out a wry smile. How ironic! She flipped and there was a document stating to sell the Long Peace Group below.
“I suppose you still didn’t know about this? Russell City is making alterations to the city appearance recently. The government is going to build a brand new garbage disposal transfer station for the whole city, and they’re still anxious for not being able to find the right place. I think the land of the Long Peace Group is good, as long as we knock the building down…” His complacent description sounded exceptionally unpleasant to Selina’s ears.
Selina gave him a hard slap on the face. “Horace Keith, you’re despicable!” Horace stuck his tongue out and licked the blood at the corner of his mouth. “Don’t you think I’ve given you respect when I don’t hit you today. If you dare not work the best of my planning proposal tomorrow, you’ll watch how the Long Peace’s land becoming garbage pile!”
“I’ll memorize it!” Selina jerked the proposal over reluctantly with rage. “But I have one condition, if I’ve succeeded in doing this thing for you. I want you to give me back the Long Peace Group!”
“Give you back? Aren’t you being too naïve? Do you know how much money I’ve wasted to acquire this junk? Eighty million yuan!”
“Eighty million yuan it is!” Selina gritted her teeth. Having heard that, Horace shot her a disdainful glimpse. “We’ll talk after you have the money!”
Before getting married to Horace, Selina had also graduated from the management department of a famous university. She had even worked in the Long Peace Group for several years. Therefore planning proposal was not a strange thing to her. After concentrating, she managed to grasp the gist within a short time. Horace drove his car and left when he saw that.
…
Outside the Far Eastern building the next morning, Osborn had received the news when both Horace and Selina arrived at the entrance. He pushed Manfred’s office door open and whispered, “Sir, they’re here.”
“Okay.” Manfred shoved one of his hands into his pocket and headed to the French window to look through it. The sky was blue and there were fluffy white clouds. The sky seemed to have no end at one glance. The weather was delightful.
Horace did not forget to warn Selina when he watched her opening the door and got out of the car, “The Long Peace’s future is in your hand!” Selina glimpsed at him from the corner of her eyes and got out of the car straight. After informing her name and purpose, the lady at the front desk instructed her to go to the top floor. Standing inside the lift and looking at the increasing number, Selina felt that she was a calf waiting to be slew.
She finally reached the top floor. Selina grasped the document file in her hands and walked out of the lift. Osborn was standing at the entrance of the lift. Seeing her, he said courteously, “Mr. Gordon is waiting for you in the office, please come with me.”
“Is there no one else?” Selina asked instinctively. Osborn was startled and he gave her a baffled look. “I mean…we’re talking about the planning proposal regarding the bidding. Don’t we need department-related people to decide together?” Having heard that, Osborn looked like he had heard a funny joke. “No need, as long as Mr. Gordon is willing to do it, he can decide for all the proposals himself.”
Selina let out a wry smile. “Yeah, I’ve been silly.”
“Please come, Miss Jones.” Osborn walked at the front and passed through the corridor. He finally stopped in front of an office and knocked the door. Osborn then only turned and said to her, “Do go inside, Miss Jones!”
