Chapter 1401 Landscaping Company Project
However, the one who suffered the most from this was Julian. For many years, he had kept himself rumor-free, and the first romantic rumor he had was with a renowned, rich young master like Nigel. Not only did that cause an uproar among his fans, but his anti-fans and rival companies were also all eagerly trying to ruin his reputation.
Due to this, his company sent out several legal letters and made an example of the more active anti-fans. His lawsuits were not just for show as those whom he had sued were all convicted, which was why all the anti-fans and rival companies became quiet after a few hours as they lacked the courage to offend Julian anymore.
One had to know that Julian was not just a male celebrity. He was the second heir of Gilmore Corporation, had uncountable assets, and was a genuine nobleman.
Meanwhile, Queenie exited her office and walked toward the meeting room with a cup of coffee in her hand. Since Brandon had heard from his wife about Queenie’s relationship problems with Nigel, he was worried about her mood today. However, he looked over and saw his high-spirited daughter in her seat, seemingly in a good mood.
As such, he could not help but wonder, Does Queenie not have feelings for Nigel anymore? Did they break up just after one night? Then, he recalled the news he had just received, which was regarding the Manson Group.
Allegedly, Manson Group had just withdrawn an outsourcing service, which was landscape maintenance, and it happened that Silverstein Enterprise had been developing a landscape construction project in recent years. In other words, their two projects were compatible for collaboration.
However, all of Manson Group’s outsourcing services were something every large corporation competed to obtain. Companies like Silverstein Enterprise, which had just begun their landscape construction services, would not stand a chance against their competition.
Brandon only found out about this project from the client last night and had gone home thinking he could use his daughter’s connections to get it! Yet, he did not expect to come home and hear from his wife that his daughter had gotten into a fight with Nigel and that they were about to break up.
Therefore, he woke up early today and contacted many people just for this project. At this point, he had almost lost all hope.
If Nigel truly broke up with Queenie, their chances of landing this project would be slim to none.
“Alright. Let’s begin our meeting.” Brandon coughed lightly before announcing, making all the higher-ups in the room quiet down. Meanwhile, Queenie was a little distracted by her situation with Nigel. It seemed like it was true when they said quarreling could make a couple grow fonder of each other.
“I just got news about a cooperative project last night, and it’s one of Manson Group’s outsourcing landscape projects. Although we have many competitors, we should still give it a try and see if we can succeed,” Brandon suggested.
“Mr. Silverstein, our chances are slim. According to what I know, every renowned landscaping company is competing for this project. What’s more, we don’t have the advantage to compete with them!” one of the higher-ups spoke up sullenly.
“That’s right! Although it’ll be very advantageous for us to win this project, we can’t do anything about it!”
After listening for a bit, Queenie turned to Brandon. “Dad, when did they announce this project? Why didn’t I know about this?”
“I only found out about this last night, so I’m asking everyone to come up with a strategy. Queenie, you don’t have to be involved in this. We’re just going to give it a shot without harboring much hope of landing it.”
“Mr. Silverstein, I think we’re just wasting our efforts, so why don’t we just give up on this matter?”
“He’s right! Why should we waste our efforts on something impossible?”
“How do you know we won’t succeed if we don’t try?” Queenie felt confident while looking at the gloomy faces of the higher-ups.
“Miss Silverstein, it’s not that we aren’t confident, but—”
“Leave this matter to me,” she stated firmly.
“Queenie, I think we should forget about this! I don’t want to put you in a difficult situation.” Brandon sighed. If getting this project meant Queenie would have to disregard her dignity and be hurt again after confronting Nigel, he would rather give up completely on it.
“Dad, believe me. I will successfully land this project,” she told her dad.
Meanwhile, the higher-ups in the room thought that she was such a good ‘scapegoat’ to take on the impossible task. Of course, she would not get scolded even if she failed, anyway.
