The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 984
No one but Cecilia could affect his decision. Even if Madelyn could speak brilliantly, Madelyn was still a naive, silly person who would drag him down in Zach’s eyes. He would trust and take every suggestion Cecilia gave while never listening to a word Madelyn said. That was because Madelyn had heard Zach talk about her that way. Zach has said, “You don’t have a say in the company’s affairs. You’re nothing compared to Cecilia.”
The morning conference for Jardin Corporation was done online that day.
“Do you really want to do so, Mr. Jardin? The brands that we’ve agreed to partner with have designed their columns. If we terminate our contract so suddenly, we will need to pay a large sum in compensation,” one of the executives said.
Zach was still dressed in his simple pajamas. He lowered his head while spinning the pen in his hand. Then, he said, “First, draft the termination contracts. Just compensate them as agreed in the partner contract.”
“But we’ll need to pay up to 30 million dollars in compensation. We’re almost past our first quarter. It would be difficult for us to find new partners,” the executive argued.
Zach answered, “My wife has already thought of which brands we will partner with. Draft the agreement. Try to fulfill any requests the other company has. You can discuss the details later. I want to see the agreement draft in my hand by today.”
“Dismissed,” Zach said to end the conference.
All the executives left the meeting and sighed while shaking their heads, except for the planning department executive. He said hesitantly, “Mr. Jardin, I have something I want to say, but I’m not sure if I should…”
Zach allowed it, “Say it.”
The planning department executive said, “When the fashion brand’s column was printed in the newspaper, the related issues had been mentioned before. Why did you wait till today to change it? I don’t understand what happened, so could you explain the reason behind the suggested changes today? Also, I don’t see any problem working with Arland since they are a known high-end fashion brand.”
There were some executives who did not leave the meeting. They stared at the planning department executive, terrified and impressed at the same time. The initial decision to let Arland post their advertisement in their newspaper was unsuitable. Zach was always an intelligent man who prioritized profit, so how could he not have known of this? Besides that, the sales for Arland these two months have shown that it was dropping drastically every day. There was no need to do this. The Jardin Corporation also had shares in the Arland company, so the initial investment might have been all lost.
However, Zach merely answered, “It’s all to make my wife happy.”
The executives were all confused and thought, ‘He invested close to tens of millions of funds just to make his wife happy? Isn’t that just crazy?’
Although the money was nothing to the Jardin Corporation, it was still money. After Blake was dragged to work, she sat at the side writing the meeting minutes, with bags under her eyes. She had not expected to hear such shocking news.
‘How enviable,’ Blake thought.
