After hearing Patrick’s words, the man was led by his assistant to a dressing room. The assistant picked out several suits that looked like those of a CEO and added some clean shaven facial hair to give him the appearance of a big client.
Patrick looked at Romeo Houghton’s new look and nodded in satisfaction. He then created a new identity for him and established a fake company.
Patrick deliberately created the false company to appear grand and claimed that it had developed from abroad, leaving no room for Kevin to doubt.
Soon, Romeo returned to his own “company” and had Patrick’s specially arranged “secretary” make a call to Kevin.
“Hello.”
Kevin answered the phone quickly. He had released many messages in the past few days, but unfortunately, they all fell on deaf ears. Hardly anyone was willing to communicate with him.
It was all because Kevin had rejected the Maltz Group’s plea for help and made enemies with the Pansy Group. Now that the Pansy Group was thriving, naturally, everyone stood on their side.
For several days, Kevin hadn’t been able to attract any good clients and was worried in his office.
Receiving a phone call at this time, Kevin didn’t hold much hope.
“Hello, is this Mr. Duncan? We met at the gathering last time.”
Romeo’s words instantly made Kevin sit up straight. “Ah, yes, yes. Who am I speaking to?”
“I’m Romeo Houghton, we met last time, and you told me about your company.”
“Oh, Mr. Houghton, I remember now.”
Kevin nodded repeatedly, although the two had never actually met. However, Kevin had communicated with so many people these days that he thought he might have forgotten.
“The project you mentioned to me last time, I happen to be interested in it and would like to discuss it further with you. Can we do that?”
This sudden client undoubtedly caught Kevin’s attention.
Moreover, it was someone he had never heard of before, which made him even more suspicious.
But with his dwindling number of clients, he had no choice but to agree for now.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you at the café.”
Kevin gave the address and then searched online for Romeo’s identity.
Online, he found Romeo’s biography, detailing his childhood prodigy status, his management skills, and various company situations.
Even with such comprehensive information, Kevin’s suspicions about Romeo remained.
However, he still gathered his courage and went to meet Romeo.
“Mr. Houghton.”
The two shook hands as a sign of respect, and then Romeo directly presented his ideas.
“I believe you’re truly a once-in-a-century talent. I never thought I would have the honor of speaking with you one day.”
As Romeo praised him, Kevin still couldn’t let go of his guard.
He observed Romeo from head to toe, feeling like he had seen this person somewhere before.
Helpless, Kevin agreed to Romeo’s request for collaboration and temporarily transferred some of his funds to Romeo’s hands.
Romeo naturally sensed Kevin’s wariness and smiled. “Mr. Duncan, there’s no need to be so nervous. Just as you might have investigated my affairs, I have done the same. I came to cooperate with you willingly after finding out about your character online.”
Seeing the somewhat sincere look in front of him, Kevin only replied with a smile, “Why would I be nervous? I just think you’re a remarkable person and wanted to have a closer look.”
Romeo wasn’t foolish and didn’t pursue the topic further, simply nodding. “Alright, then let’s have a pleasant cooperation.”
The two raised their glasses, toasted each other, and then Romeo left.
Watching Romeo’s refined demeanor, Kevin squinted slightly.
After Romeo returned to the company, he headed straight to Patrick’s office.
“Mr. Pansy.”
Romeo removed his beard, revealing his fair face. “As you suspected, Kevin still has some doubts about me, but he has already signed a portion of the contract with me.”
Patrick sipped his wine and nodded, instructing Romeo to go back first.
Kevin had always been a cautious person, which was why he had made a name for himself in the business world.
However, gaining his trust would still require some time, even with such caution.
On the other hand, Patrick informed Jane about this matter.
Upon hearing this, Jane burst into laughter and confidently claimed to have a solution.
In these past few days, Kevin’s attempts to attract clients had become widely known, reaching Jane’s ears as well.
After hanging up the phone, Jane informed the entire company to launch a full-scale attack on the Duncan Group.
Kevin was already facing difficulties, and now he was under attack from Star Entertainment. He found it hard to defend himself for a moment.
When Kevin left the company to settle the score with Jane, he arrived at Star Entertainment and immediately spotted Romeo.
His gaze turned cold, and he overheard the conversation between the receptionist and Romeo.
“If we could collaborate with a big client like you, it would be an honor for us. We look forward to your response.”
A big client?
This sentence instantly caught Kevin’s attention. Could it be that his random speculation was correct, and Romeo was indeed a big client?
He hid in a corner, wanting to listen to how Romeo would respond.
“I’m just waiting for someone to change their mind and cooperate with us. I think their company is excellent, but it seems they are somewhat reluctant.”
Those words instantly brought Kevin back to his senses. Wasn’t this company Romeo mentioned referring to his own?
The receptionist looked surprised, covering her mouth and widening her eyes. “Could there really be someone who would give up the opportunity to collaborate with you? That would be a huge loss.”
Hearing this, Kevin’s heart wavered once again.
After all, it was Star Entertainment who had disrupted the collaboration between the Maltz family and the Lawson family last time, seizing the opportunity for themselves and leading the Maltz family to seek help from Kevin.
Could it be that Star Entertainment was employing the same tactics again? Emerging halfway to snatch away this resource.
This realization made Kevin alert. When he returned to his company, he found that the company’s stock was plummeting at a rapid pace.
Standing not far away, the receptionist noticed Kevin’s departure and made a gesture. Jane then emerged from behind.
She watched Kevin’s figure and grinned, realizing he had fallen into the trap.
In this way, she had to thank the Maltz family even more. If she hadn’t taken away the resources of the Lawson family and confused Kevin, he wouldn’t have believed them so quickly.
And Kevin remembered the words of the Star Entertainment receptionist. In a desperate situation, he reluctantly made a phone call to Romeo.
