However, it was not proper for her to speak in such an occasion.
Selina swallowed her doubts and looked at Manfred worriedly. However, Manfred’s expression did not change. He smiled faintly.
“Mr. Chapman, you don’t have to be afraid of me. However, I do not know if your clients know that you always like to slander others.”
“You….” Eric wanted to curse, but because Todd was there, he forbore from doing so.
“Manfred, you’ll see. This is not over!”
“I’ll be back!” After saying that, Eric took Todd away. Todd turned around and looked at Manfred with a puzzled expression in his eyes.
Manfred said after they left, “Why are you here?”
Selina pursed her lips and said, “Nothing much. I was here to meet Mr. Chapman. I’m leaving now.”
It was still in office hours, so she didn’t say much.
Lawrence smiled when they left, saying, “It seems that she wants to hide something from you!”
Manfred frowned and said, “Help me find it out.”
Lawrence was always resourceful, and soon he got something.
“I’m afraid that Long Peace Group is going to be screwed up this time! It’s a good time for you to buy it. Unfortunately, you’re ceasing all activities now. Jayden was so damn lucky!”
“Why should I let him have this opportunity?” Manfred scored a goal, and smiled slightly.
“Then what are your plans?”
Manfred didn’t say a word, put down the golf club and walked out with his hands in his pockets.
“Come on! Are you leaving just like that?” Lawrence said.
“It is no fun!”
….
In Long Peace Group.
After Selina and Darnell came out, both of them were very discouraged.
Darnell forced a smile and said, “Sorry, is your face alright?”
Selina shook her head, saying, “Nothing much, let’s go back to the company first! Maybe there are other ways?”
Darnell nodded, but they knew that there was no another way at all!
They drove back. When they arrived, they saw the assistant standing at the door. “Mr. Cornell, there’s a group of people inside who want to meet you.”
“Who?” Darnell frowned.
“They said they were from TEM Corporation of the United States….”
“What? TEM Corporation?” Darnell was shocked. Even a rookie like Selina had heard of this company long ago.
TEM Corporation had a history of more than 10 years in the United States, but they’ve begun to develop in China since one year ago. No one would have thought that they would take the initiative to come here!
Darnell hurriedly went in with Selina.
When he pushed open the door, he saw a few people sitting upright at the table.
Seeing them enter, the one in the front stood up and shook hands with Darnell, saying, “Hello, Mr. Cornell. I am a representative of TEM Corporation. My name is Simon Evans! I am here to discuss some information about your company with you on behalf of TEM Corporation.”
As he spoke, he asked someone to hand over the documents. “This is Long Peace Group’s current financial situation. Apart from all the expenses you used up for the project, compensated for the accident and the claimed by the court…. Long Peace Group’s last remaining asset is obviously not enough for you to struggle through till the end of next month.”
Darnell frowned and said, “I thought you were here to discuss cooperation, but now it seems that I was wrong.”
Simon smiled and said, “Because of Long Peace Group’s current situation, no one would cooperate with it. You should know this better than I do. TEM Corporation is willing to buy Long Peace Group, and after the acquisition, you will be allowed to stay in Long Peace Group as a shareholder. You are still the person in charge of it, and none of this will change.”
Darnell didn’t understand. “Then what is your goal?”
“Common development. And this is also to lay the foundation for our business in China.” After saying that, he handed over the purchase contract to him. “Please check it.”
“The contract includes not only all of our commitments just now, but also your plan to transform the warehouse. In the future, if you want to leave Long Peace Group and start another business, TEM Corporation will not stop you.”
The conditions were indeed the best. Darnell knew in his heart that no one would give a better offer than this.
Although Selina was also reluctant, Long Peace Group was still in Darnell’s hands. Moreover, they had also said that everything could be the same as before in the future.
Darnell looked at Selina and said, “What do you think?”
Selina smiled, saying, “I respect your decision.”
“Alright, I agree!” Darnell said, “When will the contract be signed?”
If this was resolved earlier, he would be able to stage a comeback earlier.
“Tomorrow morning, we will bring all the contracts and paperwork,” Simon said.
“Alright!”
After showing them off, Selina and Darnell let out a sigh of relief.
Since the problem was solved, everything could start over again.
Very quickly, the news spread throughout the company, and the originally rejected people immediately cheered.
Darnell smiled and said, “Get off work early today! You will be given a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, everything will start again.”
It was rare to get off work early, so Selina wondered if she should buy some vegetables before going back home. Unexpectedly, just as she went downstairs, she saw those people in suits waiting downstairs.
“Ms. Jones, Master Gordon wants to see you.”
Selina was stunned. Obviously, it was for what happened yesterday. She nodded and said, “Alright!”
….
After Selina entered the Gordon Mansion, the butler took her directly to the study room.
Selina walked to the door, paused for a moment and encouraged herself before knocking on the door and entering.
Chester was sitting in the chair in front of the table and flipping through the photo album. When he saw Selina enter, he closed the photo album and said, “Sit down, please!”
Selina took two steps forward and sat down on the sofa beside the table.
“May I ask why do you want to see me?”
Chester did not answer directly. Instead, he stood up and sat down opposite Selina, saying, “Last time, you said that the time limit of the deal between you and Manfred was a year, right?”
Selina was stunned, replying, “What? Yes!”
“Then do you have any plans in a year?” Chester asked.
Selina was doubtful, but she still said truthfully, “I don’t know for now.”
Chester paused for a moment and said, “You’re still young. You have many potentials in the future. You major in designing, right? As for this profession, it’s hard to make a name for yourself just by developing in the country! But if you can study in the famous Ivy League in the United States, it will be different.”
Selina frowned and said, “If you have something to say, you can say it directly.”
Chester nodded and turned to the desk to get a cheque.
“Five million. It can be used as living expenses for your further studies. Of course, I can help you apply any school, as long as you agree to one request. You need to give birth to a child for the Gordon family before you leave.”
