She would make a big fuss at this time and find an excuse to make Irene resign and rest for a few months. It would be difficult for her to go back to the center of Edward in the future. Even if the king came, he could not help her.
…
In the luxuriously decorated hotel, David had booked a private room to meet the people of the Wood Group here.
“Mr. Lee, long time no see. Mr. Lawrence came in slowly with a person. He opened the door of the private room and said.”
That person was the person in charge of the Wood Group-Tom.
“This must be Mr. Wood. I’ve heard a lot about you.” David immediately greeted him warmly.
Tom nodded with a smile. David was a little disdainful. Why was he pretending to be arrogant? He just had a good father. With only a son and no illegitimate child, he smoothly inherited the Wood Group.
When he got the position of the top leader of the Wilson in the future, seeing that Tom could still be so arrogant and dared to treat him with such an attitude, David was very angry, but he did not dare to show it on his face.
After all, he was asking for help now, so it was better to lower his attitude.
“Mr. Wood, from the looks of it, you are a man of great character. Please take your seat.” David flattered him and pointed to the seat in front of him.
After the three of them sat down together, Tom said, “I heard that you want to cooperate with us, but how can I believe what you said is true?”
There were too many schemes in the business world. Their company was determined to get the case in the east of the city, so Tom had to be more careful.
“Mr. Wood, what are you talking about? Is my sincerity not obvious when I contact you at the top of the storm? Many people are staring at that piece of fat. They all know that it’s a way to make a fortune. Everyone wants to give it a try,” David said sincerely.
“There are indeed many people who are watching, but there aren’t many who have the strength to swallow it. If you eat it like a fat man, you will choke to death.”
“Don’t weigh your strength. They are just a group of cannon fodder.”
Tom was a little disdainful. If David could really help them, then their company’s biggest obstacle-no longer existed. He had plenty of means to deal with the remaining small companies.
Without the Wilson, which company had the ability to compete with them?
There was a large piece of land in the east of the city. The location of this piece of land was very good, and the location of the developed traffic was also good. Moreover, that place was in the process of producing goods. Many people wanted to buy that piece of land.
And this piece of land was auctioned in the form of a fair auction. To be fair, each person wrote down the base price in their hearts and handed it over to the staff of the venue. The final announcement would be given to the highest bidder.
Because every part was different and the staff was different, the possibility of operating the secret box was completely eliminated.
Wood Group knew the future of this piece of land. The Wilson was not stupid enough to be determined to get this piece of land, but compared with the financial strength of the Wood Group, it could not compare with Wilson’s.
So Tom was thinking about how to use other channels when David came to him.
“Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Wood has inherited the company at such a young age. I believe you have the ability.” David flattered, but he thought in his heart, “How dare you talk nonsense in front of me? What a big tone.”
It had to be said that a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. Tom’s skills and knowledge were far inferior to Edward’s. The two were simply incomparable. Even Elio could outshine him. This was also the reason why Tom’s father had yet to gain Edward.
Although Tom had taken over the company, his father was still standing behind him. This time, he sent him out to train him.
“I saw your sincerity, but I can’t trust you completely.” Although Tom was flattered by David, he was still clear-headed.
“Mr. Wood, I can tell you clearly. Although I haven’t got Irene’s business plan case yet, it doesn’t hinder my cooperation with you. As long as my plan succeeds, everything will be fine,” David said confidently.
“Let’s take a step back. Even if my plan fails, you won’t suffer any losses. If it succeeds, not only will you get that piece of land, but I will also get the highest position of the Wilson. You will benefit a lot in the future.”
Hearing David’s words, Tom shook the glass, and the dark red wine floated up and down. “Tell me what your plan needs our help.”
“I hope that you can find a reason to ask Elio out.” David looked at Tom’s expression and secretly rejoiced that this matter was about to succeed.
“Elio? It’s none of his business.” Tom was a little confused.
“Irene didn’t ask anyone to intervene in this case. She was also very cautious. Even if she arranged for some people, she was only responsible for some of them. She was the only one who knew all of them, so it was useless for the people I planted to know some of them.”
“But Elio is different. He is fully involved. Except for Irene, no one is more familiar with him than him. He must know the base price of Irene’s bid.” David was very sure.
It was not that he didn’t have people around Irene, but Irene attached great importance to the case in the east of the city. She almost did everything herself. The information was also kept by her, and his men couldn’t find a chance to take action.
“But why are you so sure that Elio will help us? As far as I know, Irene and Elio are very close.” Tom asked curiously.
“That’s why you don’t know. Elio actually likes Irene. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have worked so hard to help her. If Elio hadn’t helped her, Irene wouldn’t have been able to gain a firm foothold in the company so quickly.”
In fact, David was not sure at first, but he was an experienced lover after all.
No matter how well-hidden Elio’s eyes were, the trace of affection he showed was still captured by him. In addition, he had found some results of his private investigation, so he was more sure about it.
“Since Elio likes Irene, why did he help us?” Tom felt that David was a little strange.
“It’s because he likes Irene and helps the woman he likes take care of his husband’s company. As long as it’s a man, he will mind it more or less. Let’s start from here.”
“What’s more, I don’t believe that the Jones family has no intention of taking the Wilson.” David felt ashamed of himself and thought that everything he thought was really disgraceful.
Tom felt that it made sense. David took advantage of the situation and said, “I hope you can ask him out and beat around the bush to see what he means and what he says. If you really can’t get him drunk, see if you can spit out some news.”
“It’s not easy for me to get involved in this matter. I am still a shareholder of the Wilson. If I do something harmful to the company, it will have an impact, so I want to ask you for help. We are mutually beneficial.”
David was not stupid. If he came forward, with Elio’s intelligence, he would definitely know it at a glance. If he refused to help, he would definitely tell Irene and then turn around to deal with him.
At that time, he would go for wool and come home shorn. If he lost his position and shares, he would lose more than he gained.
Even if this matter did not succeed, he would not be exposed. He could continue to wait for the next opportunity. Anyway, there was no big loss. If he could not find a scapegoat to take the blame.
Irene had no definite evidence, so they couldn’t do anything to her.
On the other side, David had his own plan, and Tom also felt that it was feasible.
After all, it was a piece of cake for them, wasn’t it? It would be best if they succeeded, but it wouldn’t affect them if they didn’t succeed.
“Then let’s have a toast together.” Tom raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it up.
After the discussion, they had a good time drinking and enjoying themselves. They had their own plans, but they didn’t expect that one person had heard all this.
David didn’t expect that he deliberately chose a relatively remote hotel because he didn’t want to be seen by acquaintances, so as not to affect the plan. However, there must be a gap between them.
Tom also thought that David would be very cautious, so he did not send anyone to deal with them outside the door, so he let Millicent hear all their conversations.
These days, Millicent was not in a good mood. She heard that there was a nice meal in a hotel nearby. A female friend who had a good time with her brought her along.
“This restaurant has a good taste. You will definitely like it,” the other party said excitedly.
Looking at Millicent’s listless look, he said, “I didn’t say that you were not in good spirits these days.”
“No, I don’t.” Millicent answered absent-mindedly as she traced the dark lines on the exquisite table cloth over and over again.
“Don’t tell me you had a fight with Elio.” The man asked curiously.
“No.” If it was a quarrel, it would be great. Now he was always with Irene, and he rarely saw her, let alone quarrel. But she didn’t say these words.
After all, they were not so familiar with each other, and she didn’t want to talk about her relationship with Elio with others.
Millicent suddenly stood up and looked at a person coming in from outside the door. She had a little impression of this person. Wasn’t he a major shareholder of the Wilson?
Seeing Millicent’s action, his friend was almost shocked. “What’s wrong with Millicent?”
“No, no, I just had a stomachache and went to the bathroom. You don’t have to wait for me.”
Millicent was a little curious. She got up and went forward to see what was going on.
