“This, this …”
Manager Ryan was suddenly named, and his face turned white with fear, and his speech faltered.
“President Grant, this must be a misunderstanding.”
“Misunderstanding?”
Matthew Grant patted the folds of his west turn jacket and glanced at him.
“How did Manager Ryan interpret the misunderstanding?”
“No, I …”
Manager Ryan stretched his hands, not knowing how to answer.
It seemed that this Matthew Grant was supposed to be here to take it out on Blanca Roach, and it was a mistake for him to say it any way, so he simply didn’t pretend.
He grunted from his nose, went to sit at the office chair and lit a cigarette.
“If President Grant knows all about it, why ask me?”
Matthew Grant, with a scowl, watched his movements coldly, gestured to the lawyer next to him, and took out a contract and threw it on the table.
“If it weren’t for my wife, I wouldn’t have to make a trip for such a trivial matter.”
Manager Ryan hesitantly picked up the contract and caught a glimpse of the four large words on it, “Land Acquisition.”
He blushed furiously and stammered, “What does this, President Grant mean by this?”
“Acquisition.”
Matthew Grant spat out two words indifferently, as if the flow of tens of millions of dollars in and out was a normal thing.
Manager Ryan was caught off guard by such a sudden move, and his hands were shaking with the contract, which was not something he could handle.
He also wanted to play in front of Matthew Grant, but obviously Matthew Grant did not give him a chance.
“President Grant, this … is not appropriate, right?”
“The price has been estimated by our marketing department based on the market price, so talk to my lawyer if you have any questions.”
Matthew Grant’s tone was cold, playing with the metal lighter in his hand, a breezy look, no worries at all about not taking it down.
The lawyer took a step forward, no expression on his face, and said businesslike.
“I’m a lawyer from Empire Group’s legal department, please talk to me if you have any problems with the contract.”
Empire Group Legal Department?
He was being forced to sign this contract!
Manager Ryan swallowed and silently handed the contract to the opposite side of the office.
He still expected to sell the land when it appreciated in value, so there was no need to make a bid at this time.
“President Grant, I personally came to your door to apologize to your wife, but I can’t sell this land to you.”
“You have no other choice.”
Matthew Grant’s eyes became more and more stern, threw the lighter in his hand on the table, and sneered.
“You signed a contract with my wife, and now you suddenly backtrack and try to muddle through with an apology, isn’t it too much to underestimate me, The Grant family?”
Manager Ryan’s body trembled at the sound made by the lighter and almost sat down on the floor.
“President Grant, I didn’t mean to …”
“Two choices, now sign the contract, take the money and get out of S-town, or second I’ll use my means to make you disappear in S-town.”
“I’ll sign, I’ll sign!”
Manager Ryan panicked and looked for the signature pen from the table, as if he was afraid that Matthew Grant would back out.
He was just a small man, there was really no need to throw his little life away for such money.
Matthew Grant leaned over and stood up, patting the folds on his suit, his tone light.
“The undertaking of the land is in your hands, and it must be taken care of by tomorrow.”
“Good.”
The lawyer nodded for a moment, but then frowned a little.
“President, the funds for this plot of land have not been deliberated by the company’s shareholders’ meeting, and if it passes from the company’s books, it may make the books uneven.”
“Use the company’s funds first, and I’ll make up the books myself.”
The lawyer nodded in greeting and looked at the leaving figure, only feeling admiration from the bottom of his heart.
The president of Empire Group has changed from a “golden bachelor” to a “wife pampering fiend”, and has casually taken out tens of millions of dollars.
