Grant was very much like Tristan Beckett in some ways, When he dealt with business matters and strangers, he never smiled. Grant sat there listening to the reports of the directors and shareholders.
Whether they were arguing or sneering, his face was unmoved and shrouded in a layer of About it chill Joyce understood the gist of it.
A Wall Street tycoon from Liberty had a big project that involved artificial intelligence. This business tycoon’s name was Clayton Sloan
. He was a mysterious person that never had his name on the Forbes list, so no one knew exactly how much wealth he had. However, his name in the business world was like a thunderclap.
Artificial intelligence in a lot of countries was booming and secretly competing to be the best in the world. However, no one could combine their achievements systematically in a network.
The various aspects of artificial intelligence were scattered. Whether in scientific research, medicine, or smart devices, although each had its own advantages, not a single company could cover the design of all these fields and was very niched in its own field.
Clayton Sloan wanted to break this barrier to cooperate with all these countless companies involved in this industry and create the leading collaboration in Al of the century. Some small companies simply did not have any competitive advantage.
The real partners who were eligible were those on the top of the pyramid with strong resources.
Powell Corporation valued this cooperation and had reached out to Clayton Sloan multiple times, but there was no reply.
One of their shareholders, Christian Jenner, wanted to promote his son so that he could get a firm foothold in Powell Corporation.
Therefore, when Christian wanted his son to take charge of this cooperation, it caused a lot of objections, Scanned with About Everyone was uncompromising.
“How can you just hand over such an important matter to your son as a practice? Mr. Jenner, are you getting senile?” “Even if a deal is reached, it’s because Clayton Sloan values our Powell Corporation, not your son personally.
Don’t you think you’re too aggressive to grab this credit?” “Mr. Jenner’s son is a department manager in our company, so he is still quite capable…”
The atmosphere in the meeting room was tense. Some agreed, some opposed, while some just watched.
Joyce looked at Grant, whose eyes were slightly narrowed. His face was cold and indifferent as if he did not care about their arguments. Logan saw this and coughed heavily.
Everyone instantly quieted down and looked at Grant’s attitude. Grant’s gaze was slightly cold as he swept a glance at Christian Jenner. His voice carried a grim chill.
“Mr. Jenner, you want to give your son a chance that badly?” Christian Jenner was cowardly, but he worked up the courage to do this because he knew that his son would be kicked out of Powell Corporation if he did not have some achievements.
“President Grant, Xion’s achievements in the business department are obvious to all. I believe that he can take on this project.”
The corners of Grant’s lips curled into a seemingly cold smile, but on closer look, there seemed to be no changes on his face.
“Then what if he can’t close the deal?” The atmosphere froze for a while. The silence was alarming.
Christian’s face instantly stiffened. His eyes flickered slightly. “If he can’t…” ) Grant raised his head and said in a cold voice, “This project is Powell Corporation’s most valued project.
It involves a lot of our efforts, so if he can’t get it, it will cause more than a loss of reputation to our company. Mr. Jenner, whether your son has the ability to take on such a big responsibility is another matter.
If our rivals get the project instead of us, who will bear this responsibility?” Did he think that they would just sweep this under the rug? The meeting room instantly fell silent.
Even people’s breathing became cautious. If Powell Corporation’s rival company could land this deal, it would not only cause a huge impact on Powell Corporation’s reputation and status, but it would also affect the subsequent series of cooperation.
The entire Powell Corporation’s development would even go into decline because of it. Could Christian Jenner afford to take this responsibility? Christian’s face changed at once.
He thought that Grant would let him go since he had worked for Powell Corporation 10th for so many years.
However, Grant mentioned the consequences. Everyone’s eyes turned to Christian Jenner. Would he give up or insist? A minute passed…
Joyce was getting a little impatient. She looked at her watch and thought of going shopping later… “I’ll do it!” Christian gritted his teeth and sounded very sure of himself.
“I believe in Xion’s ability. He’ll be able to take down this project. If not, I’ll take all the responsibility and will voluntarily give up all my shares.”
There was an instant outcry in the room. Christian Jenner’s position was second only to Floyd Powell. His reputation among the shareholders was extremely high.
He was actually willing to sacrifice it all just for this opportunity? Joyce could not help but look at him. Christian’s weathered face carried determination, but where did he get such confidence? Grant hooked his lips.
“More than that, your son is also not allowed to work in any of Powell Corporation’s subsidiaries in the future if he fails.” Christian’s eyes flickered. He then spoke decisively, “Deal.”
Grant glanced at Joyce. “We can’t pin all our hopes on one person, so it has to be a two-pronged approach. Joyce, you should also follow this project, consider it as a warm-up.”
Joyce paused for a moment and looked up in surprise. ‘Why did I get involved in this again?’ Christian looked at Joyce with a glum face.
“Then how do we determine who wins or loses?” “Whoever wins gets to call the shots. The loser takes all the responsibility.”
Christian pointed at Joyce and said in an aggressive questioning tone. “President Grant, do you mean to say that if she loses, she’ll leave Powell Corporation?” Grant shot a cold glance at Christian.
Before he could say anything, Joyce accepted the challenge. “Yes, we’ll give it our best shot.” )
Christian smiled and had a wild look in his eyes.
“Great! It’s a deal!” The meeting was adjourned. When Joyce and Grant were the only ones left in the room, Grant helplessly held his forehead.
“I didn’t mean for you to bet with him!” Joyce raised her eyebrows.
“Well, it’s already come to that point, so we can’t just leave the bet, right? Also, you were the one who involved me in this!” “That’s because his son is a loser, so of course, we can’t count on him just because of a bet.
I involved you in this because I really want you to facilitate this project.” Joyce smiled meaningfully and was in the mood for gossip.
“Why do you hate Christian Jenner’s son so much?” Grant snorted coldly.
“He seduced a female subordinate and created such a scandal. Our company almost made it onto the trending topics for the wrong reasons because of him.
Do you know how much money I spent to set things right? He still doesn’t know what he did wrong and is trying to find a way to place that woman in our finance department.
Christian Jenner repeatedly helped to conceal it, so it’s just a bloody mess. I want them out!” Joyce’s smile faded. ‘So, he’s a scumbag, huh?’ “Well, he deserves it then.”
Joyce pursed her lips and looked at Logan. “Do you have information about that project and the Wall Street hotshot?” Logan nodded and handed over a file.
Joyce smiled, opened it, and her face instantly stiffened. Surprisingly, it was blank! Grant coughed and stood up, then walked out of the room. “We can’t find anything.
Probably his name is fake too, so you gotta work a little harder…’ » Joyce was speechless.
‘Did I just get myself into trouble?!’ Logan could not help but laugh at the side. “President Joyce, just let me know if you need my help.” Joyce looked at him and asked the pressing question in her mind.
“Do you know why Christian Jenner is so confident that he can take down this project?” Christian bet on everything he had for this project.
It was probably not blind confidence, right? Logan’s face was a little defeated as he shook his head.
He did not know the reason. “I’ll go check right away.” Joyce thought, ‘I’m curious about this mysterious person!’ Her phone rang at that moment. It was Nathaniel. She picked it up.
“Niel, what’s up?” “Joyce, we’re having a work celebration at the Gremlin Club tonight.
Wanna come along?” Joyce was about to say yes, but she suddenly thought that Tristan Beckett would probably attend that party as the title sponsor…
Nathaniel sensed her hesitation and immediately said, “Don’t worry, my uncle confidence, right? Logan’s face was a little defeated as he shook his head. He did not know the reason.
“I’ll go check right away.” Joyce thought, ‘I’m curious about this mysterious person!’ Her phone rang at that moment. It was Nathaniel. She picked it up.
“Niel, what’s up?” “Joyce, we’re having a work celebration at the Gremlin Club tonight. Wanna come along?” Joyce was about to say yes, but she suddenly thought that Tristan Beckett would probably attend that party as the title sponsor…
Nathaniel sensed her hesitation and immediately said, “Don’t worry, my uncle’s not coming.
He has a bachelor party tonight for Colton White. I heard that the girl got pregnant and they’re having a shotgun wedding! Hahaha…” Joyce could not help but laugh.
