He was changing the subject silently, and I was at my wits’ end. Any closer and I would have been lost in the scent of him.
“Knock-knock-” An abrupt knock on the door rescued us both.
When he heard the voice, Dennis’ ambiguous expression converged and he looked up to see Wendy standing by the door with a tangled expression, then he sat up straight, “Come in.”
In the time it took me to get my clothes together, Wendy had already walked up to us.
“Mrs. George,” Wendy greeted, and looked at me with a hesitant look, clearly holding something back from me.
In fact, there was no need for him to do so, as I myself am a shareholder of the George Group.
“Just say something.” Dennis reminded him in due course, his tone returning to its indifferent as water state.
Wendy lowered her eyes, then handed the file in her hand to Dennis, and while he was looking through it, Wendy explained next to him, “The person in charge of several projects that had initially made a verbal agreement to sign a contract years ago, this afternoon, as if they had made an appointment, all called our project department to cancel the cooperation, the people in the project department said that the information in the file was already determined Mr. Riley has personally gone to the other party’s company, hoping to negotiate, but his secretary told me to tell you that Mr. Riley said the hope is not great, the company had better make a response as soon as possible.”
At that Dennis’s thick eyebrows knitted, his face changed again and again, not very good, “Got it, get ready, tomorrow arrange a meeting with the managers of all departments.”
Thinking about Folly’s analysis, I couldn’t help but open my mouth and ask one more question, “Assistant Wendy, were these projects pitched within the boundaries of Newton Town, or were they newly developed after arriving at City P?”
The George Group is so well established in Newton Town that almost the entire construction industry depends on the George Group for their livelihood.
“It’s a new development, Mrs. George,” Wendy says.
I frowned, in which case it would really be similar to Folly’s fears that those in City P who had their eyes on Dennis had already started to act.
Dennis looked at me, closed the folder, and called Wendy back, “Go out, I’ll call you if something comes up.”
“Okay.” With that, Wendy retreated.
As soon as the door closed, Dennis spoke up and asked me, “What do you know?”
“Hmm?” I froze, looking at him blankly.
Dennis sighed and said meaningfully, “Years ago, you have not been very involved in the George Group’s affairs, this aspect of construction, is not your specialty, just now you asked Wendy so suddenly, obviously have ideas in mind, Mr. George, married for ten years, how do you think you can still hide things in front of me? Mr. George, after ten years of marriage, why do you think you can still hide things from me?”
I lost my smile, even without this more than ten years of tacit understanding, Dennis’s ability to see through hearts is not small, “Well, you guessed right, I really came for this matter this time.”
Stopping Dennis’s development plan is not a trivial matter, I organized my expression and reached out to put my hand on the back of his, my expression serious and grave, “Dennis, you are very capable, I always knew that, but can you not push yourself too hard? You just moved your company headquarters to City P a year ago, and now that so many projects have gone wrong, shouldn’t you first consider laying a solid foundation and put the financing thing aside first? You also said that GW Group is not a good comer, and if you go too fast, you will get into trouble.”
Dennis’ dark eyes sank, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said thoughtfully, “What did Folly say to you?”
The tone of his words was not very strong, but it just had a penetrating effect. I pulled the corner of my mouth and had to admit, “Folly is also for our own good.”
Dennis listened, his expression seriously silent for a while, got up and walked to his desk, saying as he walked, “I’ve brought the George Group to this point, you think Folly can think of things that I can’t see clearly?”
He paused, searched on the table for a while, came towards me with several piles of documents, put the folder on the desktop, sat down again, put one hand on the arm of the sofa, looked at the ceiling and said, “the George Group’s two most important income, from construction and trade, before coming to City P, I have arranged for people to open up As for what Wendy said, those who are holding a wait-and-see attitude are just hindered by the face of The Lewis family, not good enough to refuse directly, and in the end, they may not sign the contract.”
I looked at the four folders, even if there was only one project in each, according to the scale of the George Group today, the amount involved is at least nearly ten million, not a small amount.
In business, in addition to the strength, without resources and contacts, it is still difficult, apparently, Dennis, who has just entered City P, is already in trouble.
Although Dennis may not be willing to listen to this time to throw cold water, but if even I do not say, the George Group will be finished.
After thinking about it, I still decided to speak, “In that case, just slow down for the time being, contacts and resources have to be accumulated slowly, but if you go too fast, the walls are dug by others, the whole building will collapse.”
Dennis shook his head, his eyes still unfocused, as if his soul had entered the midst of the mall fight, “You think too simply.”
He didn’t finish his sentence before his dangerous eyes fell on me, “My reputation as Dennis, before I even made it to City P. Even The Lewis family tried to stop me, you think the others didn’t do anything?”
I am not unaware of these things, it is because of this that I feel that Folly’s words are reasonable, worried about what happened to Dennis, the thought of the whole situation is not optimistic, my expression is naturally not good.
Dennis saw that I was not in the right mood, reached out and held my small hand in his palm, leaning back on the back of the sofa, before continuing, “Even so, I am not still here, Clara, to take this path, it is impossible to turn back, the George Group in Newton Town how many people eyed, in City P stimulated how many business The George Group in Newton Town, how many people eyed, in the City P stimulated how many business noblemen, I am now sitting in this position, even if nothing, they will try to find ways to swallow the assets in my hands, in this case, why not take the initiative to become swallowed them one?”
I was surprised at his ambition, but at the same time accepted as a matter of course that no one could stop Dennis from doing what he wanted to do.
It is impossible not to worry, but knowing that there is no way back makes it all the more important to choose to side with Dennis.
The business world is treacherous, the weak are never taken for granted, not designed to calculate others, waiting to fall into the loser, to lose everything in the end.
Although there was a small thought in my mind, the same as Folly’s, that with Dennis’s ability, with The Lewis family looking after him, keeping the George Group was no big deal, I didn’t mention it again.
There is nothing concrete about who is stronger or weaker in the career of men and women, but in front of Dennis, I have to admit that I am not as far-sighted as he is.
