Chapter 85 Can’t Get a Penny
After driving away Caroline and others, the bosses focused their eyes on Leo, narrowing their eyes slightly with overwhelming presence.
They also wanted to know how this young man dare stop them.
The chief executive only asked them to sponsor the cooperation between the Henderson family and the Atlas Beauty, but did not reveal who the real mastermind was. Therefore, they did not know Leo.
Perhaps, the bosses here subconsciously thought that it was the chief executive’s idea.
Under the gaze of the ten bosses, Leo sat calmly in his seat. “I know what you care about. I will tell him about this.”
Upon hearing these words, William was at a loss. However, the ten bosses looked at each other doubtfully.
Especially Skyer O’Brien, the president of Sky Technology, looked up and down at Leo, trying to find something from him.
However, to his disappointment, the expression on his face was unfathomable. He could not see through him at all.
He thought instinctively that this guy should be remarkable.
After a while, Skyer O’Brien looked at Leo and asked hesitantly, “What do you mean by ‘he’?”
The other nine bosses also looked over.
Leo said with a faint smile, “Exactly as you wish.”
Suddenly, Skyer’s eyes lit up and he stopped talking.
The other bosses also pondered, hesitating.
Finally, Skyer raised his head and said, “Stop arguing, everyone. Let’s listen to this gentleman first.”
His attitude became respectful which was quite different from towards Caroline.
The others nodded.
“No problem.”
“The spectators see the chess game better than the players. Maybe this gentleman has some advice that I didn’t expect.”
William also looked at Leo in disbelief. He thought that Leo had offended all the bosses that they were going to withdraw the funds.
Instead of looking at the bosses, Leo looked at Chris Lawson and narrowed his eyes slightly. “Who made this decision?”
Under the gaze of Leo, Chris felt that he had been seen through. He quickly said, “It’s my sister, no, Ms. Lawson.”
Then evidently, everyone’s expressions changed slightly.
All ten bosses looked awed and both the eyes of Lydia and Leo were lit up.
Chris saw it. This was the influence his sister brought to Emerdale.
After a pause, Leo asked again, “Does she have anything to tell us?”
Chris shook his head and said, “No, she just said that she would sponsor 80 million on behalf of the Lawson Group, but it’s not unconditionally.”
“Oh?”
Leo smiled and said, “Tell me.”
“Ms. Lawson said that this sponsor will be a meeting gift from an old classmate. After a period of time, there will be a project. We hope Atlas Beauty would cooperate with us.”
Lydia frowned. Just as she was about to reject, Chris said, “Ms. Henderson, don’t be in such a hurry to reject it. Ms. Lawson said that you will be interested in this cooperation.”
After that, he left with his men.
Leo narrowed his eyes slightly. For a while, he did not know what Kate Lawson wanted to do…
And the word ‘old classmate’ also made Leo very concerned. Could it be that Lydia and Kate are old friends?
He then looked at the ten bosses and said, “I know everyone’s intention. No one wants to lag behind. Since the Lawson Group has forcefully sponsored eighty million, why don’t you all also sponsor eighty million? I will tell Forrest Barker the truth.”
The name of the general manager of the Kingston Chamber of Commerce lifted the spirit of all bosses. They looked at Leo more respectfully.
Although they could not be sure about the relationship between the young man and the general manager, it was sure that he was the general manager’s man -this alone was great.
“Okay, 80 million.”
Skyer said straightforwardly, “I vote for 80 million dollars. Please remember to tell him the truth.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, I’ll vote 30 million more.”
“Me too.”
The ten bosses all expressed their opinions.
After signing the contract, they left with a smile.
Everyone took a very warm attitude toward Leo and wanted to say more words to him.
After they left, William was still sitting in his seat blankly. Leo actually had brought him 800 million dollars that he didn’t even dare to think about it before.
Outside the hotel, Caroline and the others were still waiting.
After seeing the bosses leave, Caroline and Rebecca immediately showed a surprised smile. “Samuel, you’re right. All the bosses have come out after such a short time. The negotiation must have been failed.”
“Of course. The older, the wiser.”
Samuel couldn’t help but laugh proudly. “Although I don’t know how the good-for-nothing invited these ten bosses, but a loser is a loser who doesn’t know the rules. In the end, it was all in vain and he didn’t get a penny.”
While speaking, William and Leo walked out of the hotel.
William still looked as if he hadn’t come to his senses and stared blankly ahead.
Leo was also lost in thought, wondering what Kate meant.
Caroline immediately took a gloating look at Leo. She walked to William and said, “Dad, what did I say? We can’t believe this good-for-nothing. He messed up a sure thing.”
Rebecca confidently pointed at Leo and scolded, “It’s your fault. How dare you ask the bosses of the top ten companies shut up? You’ve ruined everything!”
William came to his senses, shook his head and said, “You misunderstood…”
“Misunderstand?”
Samuel also put on a straight face. He looked at William and said, “William, in my opinion, you are not qualified to be the head of the family. You must believe the one who really works for you. The most wrong thing you have done is to trust this good-for-nothing. Why not give the job to your family members who are more reliable?”
“We have got the money.”
“Got it, got it …”
Samuel planned to take this opportunity to replace William to be the head of the family. When he was about to continue, he was suddenly stunned. “What did you just say?”
“I said, the top ten companies, together with the Lawson Group, voted 80 million each. A total of 800 million dollars has been transferred into the account.” William repeated.
Afraid that they wouldn’t believe him, William took out his phone again and showed the balance.
“What?!”
Samuel and the others all changed their faces dramatically. They grabbed William’s mobile phone and carefully counted how many digits there were.
“One, two, three, four… seven, eight, nine…”
There were nine-digits.
“Impossible, it’s impossible. I clearly saw the top ten bosses coming out just now.”
Samuel’s face was pale, but he still refused to believe it. He handed the phone to Rebecca and said, “Rebecca, count.”
Rebecca was also a little confused. She took the phone as if in a dream and counted it seriously.
“One, two, three…”
Her eyes widened and her face reddened while she was counting as if it was taking her breath away.
“800 million. We’re rich. We’re rich…”
Caroline was also extremely excited. “800 million dollars! We can do everything we want, such as roaming the world, buying all the bags we like, buying a villa in the downtown area.”
When they were immersed in the fantasy of being rich, Leo came over, took away William’s mobile phone with a smile, and poured cold water on them.
“Good idea, but you can’t get any money.”
