Elated
Of course, Jacob was no fool either. He knew those directors were wavering out of fear, so he had
invited them out for a drink that night.
Thank goodness Arielle isn’t as smart as I thought! She’s still way too young and inexperienced to win
against me!
With that in mind, Jacob broke into a wide grin as he said, “Calm down, guys. This isn’t bad news. In
fact, it’s great news! You see, I’ve been busy trying to find a great business partner for our company.
They’ve agreed to come and sign the contract with us tomorrow.”
“Which company are you talking about?” asked one of the directors anxiously.
Jacob glanced at them to make sure he had their full attention before replying, “Sann Group.”
“What?”
“Sann Group? Are you serious, Mr. Campbell?”
If Sann Group is planning on entering the Chanaean market, then it would make more sense for them to
work with Nightshire Group instead! Of course, Moore Group would be a great choice to work with if it
were ten years ago, but it’s no longer what it used to be! If anything, Moore Group is merely a shadow of
its former self now!
Jacob knew they wouldn’t believe him, so he pulled out his phone and handed it to the nearest director.
“Sann Group has posted on Twitter that they’re going to get into a long-term partnership with us. Feel
free to look it up if you don’t believe me.”
The directors quickly gathered around to have a look, only to gasp in surprise when they saw the official
post from Sann Group.
“Well? What do you guys think? Are you all satisfied with the surprise I have prepared?” Jacob asked
with a gleeful grin.
The directors leaped to their feet immediately.
“You truly are the best, Mr. Campbell!”
“Yeah! I can’t believe you were able to get Sann Group to partner up with us! Is there anything you can’t
do?”
“Moore Group is about to rise to glory! Don’t forget about us after you make it big!”
Heh… You guys are only on my side because of the benefits you stand to gain from me!
Jacob scoffed to himself but maintained a humble smile as he replied, “Of course! Sann Group would
never have agreed to partner up with us if it weren’t for your hard work, so how could I possibly forget
about you guys?”
“I’ll admit that I may have underestimated you a little before, Mr. Campbell. From now on, you’re my role
model! Cheers!” one of the directors said while raising his glass.
Feeling elated from the compliments, Jacob held his glass up as well, and the two downed their drinks at
the same time.
After receiving a few toasts in a row, Jacob felt the urge to relieve himself.
“Excuse me, I have to use the restroom.”
His assistant quickly followed after him and asked when they were outside, “What’s going on, Mr.
Campbell? Did Madam Chairman agree to it?”
“Madam Chairman? Oh, she won’t be holding that title for long!” Jacob replied with a disdainful smile.
Sensing that something was amiss, the assistant pressed on, “Did she really agree to let you sign the
contract with Sann Group?”
“Of course she did! How else would I have been able to say all that in there earlier?”
“But… But why would she?”
