Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

The shareholders took turns flattering Gregory. He couldn't help but beam with pride. Who would've thought his reputation had become so impressive that folks from Club 257 were coming to him by name? Just then, his secretary called again, her voice even more urgent than before. "Mr. Gregory, Stonnell International is on the line, and they want to collaborate with us!"

"What?!" Gregory was so shocked he nearly dropped his phone. Stonnell International wanted to work with them too? What was going on today? Why were all these big shots coming to him? "Quick, transfer the call!"

The secretary hurriedly connected the call. "Is this Mr. Gregory?" A somewhat cold male voice came through the line.

Gregory tried to keep his tone calm. "Speaking."

"Is Gale Corporation working on a simulation robot program?"

Gregory's heart raced. Could it be that Stonnell International, like Club 257, was interested in this project? "We are indeed developing in that direction. Is Stonnell International... also interested in this proposal?"

"Our Mr. Connor isn't interested in the proposal itself, but he's willing to invest seven hundred million as a favor to you, Mr. Gregory," the man said. "When are you available? We'd like to visit and discuss further details."

As a favor to him... Gregory was genuinely flattered. The shareholders, who had been listening in, looked at him with a mix of awe and confusion.

They had been with Gregory for so long, but they never realized he was so well-connected. Both Stonnell International and Club 257 had come to him. He was really on the rise!

"How about tomorrow morning at ten?" Gregory suggested, hesitating just a bit. He had already planned to meet with Club 257 at that time. If Stonnell International's people came over too, they'd see how in- demand the simulation robot program was.

Both Stonnell International and Club 257 were big players in Maple Grove. Seeing both parties at once would highlight the program's value. Maybe the two companies would feel a sense of competition and urgency, leading them to invest more.

"Then tomorrow morning at ten it is."

The caller agreed curtly and hung up.

"Mr. Gregory, when did you get to know people from Stonnell International?" One of the shareholders couldn't contain their curiosity.

"I've had one or two interactions with Stonnell International. I didn't expect them to reach out to me proactively," Gregory replied diplomatically. He had indeed contacted Stonnell International before, but he hadn't even managed to meet their executives.

"This just shows, Mr. Gregory, that you're a genius. Even with just a couple of interactions, Stonnell International recognized your unparalleled business talent!"

The shareholders praised Gregory so much he almost lost his composure.

"Is Aisha back yet?" Gregory asked.

At the mention of Aisha, the shareholders' expressions turned disdainful. "She went out early this morning, probably begging someone to invest in her project. How could she compare to you, Mr. Gregory, who knows people from both Club 257 and Stonnell International?"

"Call Aisha back, then announce a shareholders' meeting."

With representatives from both Club 257 and Stonnell International visiting tomorrow, they needed to hold a shareholders' meeting first to discuss the hospitality arrangements. Plus, it was probably time to change the person in charge of the simulation robot project...

The shareholders were quickly gathered, including Aisha, who had been called back. Gregory briefly explained the potential collaborations with Stonnell International and Club 257, leaving the shareholders astounded.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
