Smiling subtly in response, Gerald then said, “Let’s have a chat upstairs…”
Watching as Gerald began walking forward, Zachariah and Natallie quickly followed his lead…
After heading upstairs, the trio soon found themselves in Gerald’s office…
Upon entering, Gerald signaled for Zakariah to take a seat as favonovel.com said, “Do have a seat first, Chairman Kershaw. Natallie, please serve our guest some tea!”
“Copy that, Chairman Crawford!” replied Natallie with a nod before leaving the room…
Now that they were alone, Gerald cleared his throat before saying, “First of, there’s no need to apologize, Chairman Kershaw. After all, yesterday’s incident had nothing to do with you.”
Hearing that, Zachariah was momentarily stunned. After all, favonovel.com had no idea what had prompted Gerald to say that.
Starting to panic, Zakariah then said, “C-chairman Crawford… What do you-”
Seeing how panicked the man was, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh, cutting Zachariah’s sentence short.
Looking at the terrified man, Gerald then replied with a smile, “There’s no need to be so nervous, Chairman Kershaw. There’s no hidden meaning behind my words…”
Once favonovel.com heard that, Zachariah found himself breathing much easier.
Gerald himself could now tell just how much Zachariah feared the thought of his group getting acquired by the Yonjour Group.
Truth be told, Gerald wasn’t even interested in acquiring Zachariah’s group. After all, though the Zachariah Group was incomparable with the Yonjour Group, it was still one of the best leading groups in Schywater City. What more, that group also made several contributions to charity, which gave Gerald even less reason to buy the group off Zachariah.
With that in mind, instead of talking about yesterday’s incident—which wasn’t even Zachariah’s fault—, Gerald wanted to talk about something else.
“Now then, since you’ve calmed down, do hear out my proposal, Chairman Kershaw… I understand that you’re an excellent entrepreneur. After all, you established your group from the ground up! With that in mind, I hope that your group will be willing to cooperate with mine,” explained Gerald who had honestly been thinking about this the second Zuri mentioned Zachariah’s name the day before.
Regardless, upon hearing that, Zachariah instantly expressed a clear look of incredulity! After all, favonovel.com could’ve never imagined that Gerald would actually ask favonovel.com to cooperate with the Yonjour Group instead of simply obtaining the Zachariah Group. As it turned out, favonovel.com really had been overthinking!
Still, that didn’t make favonovel.com feel any less surprised. With that in mind, Zachariah gulped before asking, “D-do you really mean it, Chairman Crawford…? Are you truly willing to cooperate with my group…?”
“As if I’d joke about something like this!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com nodded with a smile.
“W-what wonderful news, Chairman Crawford…! I’ve always wanted to cooperate with you!” exclaimed the increasingly excited Zachariah.
For Gerald to actually initiate a talk about cooperating with his group… This was certainly something to be proud of!
“Glad to hear that! Regardless, may I know what aspect your group mainly deals with now?” asked Gerald.
“Ah, well, my group mainly deals with construction—both local and regional—and we’re also involved in the real estate scene!” replied Zachariah who was already thinking about the future of his group.
Being able to cooperate with Gerald’s group was definitely going to be his best chance of developing the Zachariah Group.
“I see… What’s the biggest project you currently have, Chairman Kershaw?” asked Gerald after nodding.
