“Hand-delivered contract? So this contract is real?”
“Peninsula Group really… really gave the Kaur family a contract? And it’s a big project that can earn 200 million dollars?”
“Oh my god, is the Kaur family lucky or what? How does that bastard… um… Flynn know Mr. Hill and get such a big contract from him?”
As Marcel spoke, there was an uproar in the room and everyone was stunned.
Madeline also looked shocked as she stared at Flynn with confusion and uncertainty.
How did he manage to get the contract from Marcel? Marcel, worth billions of dollars, was second only to Orion in terms of underground fame in Niarak. He was like a giant Buddha to the Kaur family! And yet Flynn managed to get a contract from the Peninsula Group!
Milo also looked bewildered as he gazed at Flynn expressionlessly. He couldn’t understand what was happening before his eyes.
“Is Madeline nearby?” Marcel’s voice came through on the phone again.
“Yes! Yes I am, Mr. Hill!” Madeline quickly leaned over to speak into the phone respectfully.
“Ms. Kaur, how do you feel about this project? If you can’t handle it, I can find another smaller one for you.” Marcel asked.
This statement surprised everyone once again; they didn’t expect Marcel to be so polite and accommodating towards them.
“This project is perfect for us! Madeline, say yes quickly to Mr. Hill! Hurry up!”
“It’s perfect! We’ll earn 200 million dollars with this deal! I’ll receive 3 million dollars as my year-end bonus. We’re going rich now thanks to Mr. Hill!”
“Sudden wealth from the heavens, luck that cannot be blocked. The Kaur family is now prosperous! Looking at it this way, whether the Rhinowares Group project proceeds or not doesn’t really matter!”
All of their relatives were ecstatic beyond words; tears streamed down their faces out of sheer joy and excitement.
Some even trembled uncontrollably while speaking due their overwhelming emotions.
The Kaur family had been mediocre for years now; even during their most profitable years, they could only make around 30 million dollars annually on average.
During bad times, they barely made more than several hundred thousand dollars per year.
This year had been particularly difficult after investing heavily in Davies’ Pharmaceuticals which resulted in no returns whatsoever.
The members of the Kaur family thought bankruptcy would be inevitable but then received an offer for pure profit worth 200 million dollars!
What kind of concept was that?
This single deal could bring them profits equivalent ten years’ worth!
How could they not cheer and jump for joy?
Especially Paulina, she was so happy that she almost fainted.
200 million in profit! According to the decision made at the last board meeting, their family would receive 10% of the profits as a year-end bonus, which amounts to 20 million dollars!
Frank was also excited. His white beard trembled as he whispered to Madeline, “Okay, you quickly tell Mr. Hill we agree! Hurry up!”
Madeline was also overjoyed and surprised, “We agree, Mr. Hill! The Kaur family agrees!”
“Agree?” Marcel sneered coldly and said, “I can’t agree on my end.”
“It’s because of Mr. Clark’s face that I gave the Kaur family this contract. What did you say earlier?”
“Mr. Clark has nothing to do with you guys anymore? You still want him tied up with me? Mr. Clark’s actions are personal behavior and have nothing to do with the Kaur family.”
“If you’ve distanced yourselves from him, then I don’t need to give this contract to the Kaur family either!”
“I hate people like you who curse others without reason or shamelessly lie!” Marcel hung up.
As soon as he answered his phone call from the Kaur family, they were already eager to distance themselves from Flynn.
No need for guessing; Flynn must have been criticized by the Kaur family.
A person who he usually bowed and bent to, not daring to breathe freely, was unexpectedly treated with such neglect within the Kaur family, and Marcel felt extremely annoyed!
The phone call ended.
The brains of the Kaur family members exploded simultaneously.
“What does Mr. Hill mean… he won’t give us this project anymore? Damn it! This is going too far!”
“200 million in profit… 200 million gone… we’ll be having nothing at year-end…”
“Mr. Hill cursed us… looks like he really is angry…”
Just now they were still cheering and calculating how much bonus they could get from this project.
But Marcel’s words pushed them all down into despair one by one.
Upon hearing Marcel’s words, Frank first froze for a moment before coughing twice out of embarrassment; He couldn’t believe things took such an unexpected turn!
Flynn’s brought-in contract turned out be real!
In other words, if they believed Flynn just now without making that phone call, then tomorrow they could sign the contract right away!
The Kaur’s Group had just landed a contract worth 200 million in profits! But now, after offending Flynn, everything was lost.
“Flynn! My grandfather was too impatient earlier and spoke without thinking. Don’t take it to heart though. I’m actually worried you might go down the wrong path. I’ve always hoped for your success!”
“Now, the only hope we have of getting that contract is if you call Mr. Hill. You’re my good son-in-law, so please make the call.”
Frank put on a kind and gentle expression as he approached Flynn with a smile and patted his shoulder in flattery.
Everyone turned to look at Flynn with flattering smiles on their faces, blushing like monkeys’ butts.
“That’s right! Flynn! We were being too extreme earlier and shouldn’t have said such harsh words. But it was all for your own good! We don’t want you to go down the wrong path!”
“I said years ago that this child would definitely succeed one day. See? It’s happening today! He knows Mr. Hill! The future is limitless for young people like him!”
“Flynn, why didn’t you show us the contract earlier? If you had shown us sooner, we wouldn’t have spoken so rudely or misunderstood anything.”
The Kaur family members stood around Flynn with smirks on their faces and bent backs from laughing so hard.
Charlotte listened to everyone’s flattery with great annoyance; her teeth hurt from clenching them together.
She didn’t want to see any good in Flynn at all but couldn’t do anything about it given the current situation.
Milo saw this scene unfold before him and couldn’t help but feel uneasy himself.
Things had developed to a point where the Rhinowares Group could no longer handle projects worth 100 million dollars; they were clearly out of their league now.
The Peninsula Group’s contract had shorter cycles of operation which made them simpler than Rhinowares Group’s while still yielding twice as much profit. There was no comparison between these two projects!
The Kaur family members weren’t stupid; they would try every means possible to suck up to Flynn!
“Do I need to talk Marcel again?” Looking at the Kaur family’s greedy expressions made Flynn feel nauseous inside himself!
Paulina stepped forward smilingly, “That’s right. Mr. Hill said he gave this project only because he wanted face-saving measures for you alone. Only you can save t family!”
“If you make another phone call,” she continued persuasively “he will surely agree once more.”
Flynn, feeling extremely uncomfortable, shook his head and said to Madeline, “You’ve seen the faces of these people. After managing the Kaur’s Group for so many years, you haven’t gained an ounce of respect. Leave the Kaur family. I’ll help you start anew. They’re not worth your efforts!”
