“Heh! ‘Glory’ has long ceased to meet the taste of the general players. This woman is bound to lose her entire fortune.”
“Is she Mia’s half-sister? The difference in IQ is indeed significant. Mia just secured over a dozen guaranteed profit projects.”
The surrounding discussions delighted Mia. She took a deep breath to relax. She was eagerly waiting for Evelyn to lead herself to ruin.
Zane’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant, “Evelyn, have you gone mad? That’s five million, not five hundred.”
“While the contract hasn’t been signed yet, hurry up and take the money back.”
“Well, you didn’t mention it, and I almost forgot,” Evelyn said casually, then she turned to Glen. “Mr. Glen, if you are available, why don’t we sign the contract now?”
Zane: …
Glen accepted the card, feeling like he was in a dream, unable to find any sense of reality.
After hesitating for a while, he nodded in a daze. Then, he found the person in charge here, reprinted the contract, and signed it on the spot with Evelyn.
Seeing this, others became even more curious about how much money the ‘Glory’ project would eventually lose.
Evelyn paid no attention to the attitudes of those people. After signing the contract and exchanging contact information with Glen, she turned and left.
Zane still followed her, unwilling to accept the situation, “Evelyn, the current situation of the company can’t withstand further turmoil.”
“Even if you want the ‘Glory’ project, you could reduce the funding a bit, or you should also sign Connor’s project,” he suggested.
“Connor’s project?” Evelyn chuckled, casting a meaningful glance at Zane. “In a few days, you’ll see how miserable Mia becomes.”
In her previous life, there was a sensational economic fraud case in Memphis, and the protagonist of that case was named Connor. His preferred method was to target investment meetings, specifically deceiving inexperienced company executives.
The projects he presented were indeed real, but each one involved legal issues. Anyone who took over would either face a severe beating from debt collectors or end up in prison due to legal issues. The project Mia signed this time seems to have some significant issues.
“What… do you mean?” Zane scratched his head, looking confused.
…
As Evelyn just stepped through the company’s entrance, a voice sounded from behind.
“Evelyn…”
Georgia waved the job application form at Evelyn and said, “Director, we are here for the interview.” Then, she pointed to Dylan behind her and added, “He can also help with some grunt work.”
After a moment of surprise, Evelyn smiled. She took the job application. “I couldn’t ask for more.”
Evelyn glanced at the company, then looked at a nearby fast-food restaurant, “How about grabbing some breakfast first?”
Georgia turned to Dylan.
Dylan seemed to be scrutinizing the taste of the fast-food restaurant. Lazily raising his hand to rest it behind his head, he strolled leisurely toward the fast-food restaurant. “Burger, I…”
Georgia continued, “I know. You only want the beef burger.”
When the two were almost done eating, Evelyn half-jokingly said, “The company is currently short of funds. If you follow me, be prepared…”
Dylan squinted his eyes, seemingly on the verge of falling asleep, showing no reaction to Evelyn’s words.
Georgia bit her lip and took out a bunch of keys from her bag, “Here, my brother still has two cars. Selling them should be enough for us to eat for a few years.” The two cars aren’t expensive, but they are still worth a few million.
Evelyn glanced at them, but her attention was drawn to the metal tag hanging at the keychain.
“This…” She reached out to take a look, but Dylan suddenly woke up and fiercely snatched the keychain, holding it tightly in his hand.
“Dylan, can you be any more stingy?” Georgia’s face darkened.
Dylan mumbled, “This is my treasure. Don’t touch it randomly.”
“Ha!” Georgia chuckled, “You’ve kept this thing for three years and haven’t even touched a shadow of the institute. Stop dreaming.”
Listening to Georgia’s words, Evelyn silently withdrew her hand. She hadn’t been mistaken, the symbol on that metal tag was indeed exclusive to the institute. But why did this thing end up in Dylan’s hands?
Evelyn tentatively asked in a low voice, “Where did you get this metal tag?”
“Secret,” Dylan replied mysteriously.
She turned her gaze to Georgia.
“I’ve no idea,” Georgia shrugged, “I’ve been asking for three years and couldn’t get an answer.”
Seeing this, Evelyn could only change the subject. “Now let’s go to the company first.”
She found a pen, signed the job applications for the two, and then called Zane to take them into the company.
Evelyn then went to a nearby mall to buy some things.
As she walked out of the mall, she saw a very familiar figure at the entrance.
