Both James and Helen arrived at Renaissance Mall. Everything that came into sight dazzled the two as they walked a few rounds in the mail.
It was definitely difficult for one to rent any of the storefronts here in Renaissance Mall, considering it was the largest and the most bustling shopping mall in Eastcliff. One could say that businesses in Renaissance Mall would definitely be booming even if businesses in the other shopping malls in Eastcliff were unprofitable.
Blood, sweat, and tears… The Telk Family had poured a lot of effort into building up Renaissance Mall!
A few years ago, Eric Cunningham wished to rent a small-scale store for his grandson, Charlie, hoping Charlie could have his own little business. However… Eric still could not secure a shopfront despite seeking help from a lot of his closely connected acquaintances. Not once did it cross James and Helen‘s mind to rent any of the stores here in Renaissance Mall.
James and Helen walked for another round in the mall, and they entered a few more stores. After inquiring about information relating to rental fees, both James and Helen were struck mute. Then, they left the mall quietly.
As they walked, James heaved a sigh. “Forget it! Let‘s not put our hopes on Renaissance Mall. A small pharmaceutical store of ours seems to be out of place in a bustling mall like this. How about we seek out another mall instead?”
With a worried look, Helen added, “B-But… Our pharmaceutical store also seems to be out of place in other malls! If l had known earlier, I would have agreed to set up our branch in Grandeur Plaza! The mall manager, Manager Fox, even agreed to help us with the storefront renovation works!”
Upon hearing that, James sighed constantly. It would not look good if we turned back to Grandeur Plaza now. In the end, both James and Helen had no choice but to go home first. They would prepare for yet another round of storefront hunting within these few days.
In the meantime, in Renaissance Mall, Matthew saw Tiger was already waiting for favonovel.com from afar as soon as favonovel.com got downstairs.
“What is so important that you need me to come over?” Matthew asked, feeling curious.
Tiger hurriedly answered, “Mr. Larson… It’s about the mall‘s supply of goods.”
Confused, Matthew said, “Aren’t those trivial matters? You’re the general manager. Why are you asking me such matters?”
After hearing Matthew’s remark, Tiger smiled. ”Mr. Larson, I can call the shots if it were regarding the other goods suppliers. However, this particular supplier is exceptional. So. I’m not really in a position to decide.”
Upon hearing that, Matthew thought for a moment. Then, he frowned. ”This exceptional supplier… Could you possibly mean Zack Fowler?”
Before taking over the mall’s operation, Matthew had already learned about the situation here in Renaissance Mall.
Zack Fowler was Renaissance Mail’s largest supplier. Apart from being Renaissance Mail’s largest supplier, the Fowlers were once glorious and resplendent. They were once part of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff before plunging into abject misery. However, even now, the Fowlers were still ranked in the top fifteen among the greatest families in Eastcliff. Coming from such an extended family, Zack was indeed not an ordinary businessman whom Tiger could deal with easily.
Of course, there was another significant reason for Matthew to be cautious of Zack’s arrival. Zack’s younger brother, Zion, once had an irksome confrontation with Matthew.
Tiger was really clueless about how to solve this matter. Nodding his head, Tiger then escorted Matthew upstairs. Roughly more than twenty people stood along the upstairs hallway. Upon seeing Tiger, they quickly gathered around him, one after another. “Master Tiger, I’ve brought the contract. Can you take a look at it?”
“Master Tiger, regarding the contract renewal for my store… Can you look into it? When will it be convenient for you to discuss it with me?“
“Master Tiger, I’ve reserved a table at Aurora Springs for this evening. So, you must come…“
These people were either the tenants or some of the suppliers of Renaissance Mall. Ever since Tiger was instructed to take charge of Renaissance Mall, these people immediately flocked around him. Not sparing them a glance, Tiger led Matthew into the office respectfully.
Meanwhile, in the office, Zack sat and waited on the sofa. As soon as favonovel.com saw Tiger entering together with Matthew, favonovel.com immediately stood up.
“You must be Mr. Larson! I’ve heard a lot about you. Now that I’ve seen you in person for the first time today, you’re indeed as impressive as you were reputed to be! I‘m Zack Fowler, it’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Matthew took a glance at Zack. So, this is Zack Fowler… ‘Well, favonovel.com doesn’t seem to have the arrogance of a successful businessman. In fact, his voice sounds sincere, and his attitude is humble. This is rather rare.’
“Nice meeting you too, President Fowler. Have a seat!” Matthew replied casually.
At once, Zack smiled and said, “Thank you, Mr. Larson.”
Sitting down in front of Zack, Matthew got down to the point and asked, “President Fowler, I wonder… Are you aware of the matters between your brother and me?“
