Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“The most important aspects of doing business are two: first, strategy; Second, information. I dare not leave any part behind.” Lorenzo said.

James leaned on the sofa, with his straight legs folded. Hearing that, his eyebrow slightly raised, “I actually think, the most important thing is money.”

Lorenzo gave a burst of hearty laughter, “Right, when the funds is in place, it is easy to solve the problem!”

He put the topic back on track, “The Harvey Group and the Smith Group have cooperation in the electrical area. This time Lawson attacks the Smith Group, which is hurting himself. It doesn’t worth it.”

James smiled and guessed his intention.

But he did not answer.

Lorenzo had to continue, “Our Chante Group is not as good as the Smith Group, but we have entered the electrical market more than 20 years ago, and have certain advantages in this respect.”

“As the chairman and president of the Chante Group, I am glad to serve Lawson.”

The last sentence was the key.

James sighed lightly, “I understand what you mean, but you should also know that my grandfather never likes me, and he isn’t very satisfied with the Chante family and you either.”

“You are modest.” Lorenzo said with a smile, “I believe that as long as you talk to him about this matter, he will agree.”

James looked at him, but was silent with a smile.

Lorenzo knew that he was waiting for him to increase his bargaining chip. He clenched his teeth and said, “If you broker it, I can give 10 percent of the profits to the Harvey Group for three consecutive years.”

After giving a profit to the Harvey Group, the profit became less, but it was better than no profit.

“I don’t have any shares in Harvey Group now, do you know that?” James asked slowly.

Lorenzo said. “It’s not good to transfer the money to a private account, and it’s not easy to handle. How about you attach a consultant’s name in our group, and I will transfer this part of the profit to your account in the name of labor remuneration, and then I tell you an exclusive trade secret?”

He raised this proposal with motives. James in the market was a living brand, if he nominally became the consultants to the Chante Group, it would bring more benefits.

“It’s too ostentatious. I’m afraid my grandfather won’t like it.” James tapped his fingers on the desk for several times. “Angela is now an assistant to the chief financial officer. Please attach the title of consultant to he, and the part of the remuneration will be credited to her card.”

Lorenzo wanted to use his name, so he advised, “This money is not a small number, James, do as I said. I’m sure Lawson won’t give you a hard time on this matter. After all, it’s good for the Harvey Group, too.”

“No, she is my woman, and my money is quite safe with her.” James said without hesitation.

Lorenzo could only say, “Angela is lucky to meet a good man like you.”

“I don’t like you say that. Angela is excellent and she deserves a good man.” James said.

Lorenzo could not tell he was saying Angela was excellent, or he was a good man.

He laughed and let it go.

“But I am curious about the trade secret.” James said.

Lorenzo did not achieve the expected purpose, and he did not want to give up, “The premise of telling you this exclusive secret is that you become the consultant of the Chante Group.”

“Even if I act as a consultant of the Chante Group, I won’t do any work. Why do you insist?” James asked, “If you want to use my name to get some customers in the appliance business from the Harvey Group, that’s no different from the Smith Group.”

He continued, “If so, I won’t tell it to grandpa, lest provoke him.”

Hearing that, Lorenzo was anxious, “It is a joke, don’t take it seriously.”

James smiled, took his tea and took a sip.

“The trade secret is related to Lawson.” Lorenzo was afraid that he would go back on his word. “Danis and Jessica have good relationship. Even if Danis ran away from home because of Angela, there will be no conflict between the two.”

“But yesterday Danis suddenly came back and said it was OK for him to go home, but he wanted 12 percent of the shares of the Smith Group, which is the same as Jessica.”

James was not surprised, but said, “Is it related to my grandfather?”

“Danis first broke off his engagement with the Delia family and then left home, which made the Smith family very dissatisfied. Normally, the rest of the Smith family would not agree to his request, but your grandfather seems to be unhappy with Jessica. He openly supported Danis and put pressure on the Smith family.” Lorenzo said.

James put the teacup on the table, with a very shallow smile between his eyebrows. “So the Smith family agreed?”

Angela was really a blockbuster, now the whole situation if the Smith family changed.

As the Smith Group had internal contention, the Harvey family, the Chante family and the Brown family would not miss this opportunity and would do something about it. It was like a muddy pool of water.

“Yes, but they required Danis to remarry the Smith family, which Danis also agreed to.” Lorenzo said, “James, I just got this news this afternoon and now I have told you. You –”

“Lorenzo, rest assured, the matter you put forward is beneficial to both the Harvey Group and the Chante family, I believe grandpa will agree.” James answered.

Having received his assurance, Lorenzo smiled and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Angela knocked at the door, and when she entered the room, she found her mother standing at the window, looking at something.

“Angela, you are here.” Hearing the noise, Elva turned around and hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes, looking at her awkwardly, “Do you want to eat some fruit? Shall I get some for you?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

She was like a toy that had been wound up. Every part of her body was taut. It was uncomfortable to see that.

“No, I am full.” Angela went up to her. “Mom, are you in a bad mood?”

She looked out the window and saw nothing but the trees and the sky. She wondered what her mother had been standing there all day looking at.

“No. I just feel like I’m always doing a bad job. No matter how good my intentions are, what I do is always annoying.”

“And as for the Linying Company, the contracts and projects you talked about, I don’t understand… Angela, am I like what your father said, I can do nothing but cry?” Elva was depressed.

Angela opened her mouth, not knowing what to answer.
