Chapter 979 Persuading Nicholas
Wanda’s assistant reported the information she had looked into. Reinhart Enterprise? Isn’t that the company founded by Tessa’s younger brother? Wanda thought while narrowing her eyes in thought. After that, she ordered, “Get a copy of the detailed information on this project.”
Wanda’s assistant nodded at her instruction and did as she was told.
Later, an idea popped into Wanda’s mind after she finished going through the details. From a business perspective, the prospect of this project is outstanding. I’ll surely profit if I invest in the project. Besides, investing in this project can give me an excuse to look for Nicholas in the future.
Due to Nicholas passing the affairs regarding the cooperation between the Muller Group and Sawyer Group to his subordinates, Wanda couldn’t get a chance to see him at all. Therefore, she yearned to meet Nicholas, even if it was just for a brief moment.
Even so, in order to prevent Nicholas from rejecting her idea of investing in this project, Wanda intended to bypass him and look for Remus rather than directly searching for him.
Hence, that afternoon, she brought gifts when she paid a visit to Remus in the Sawyer Residence.
“Mr. Sawyer, how are you feeling recently?”
“I’m feeling quite fine.”
Remus was quite pleased with Wanda’s concern for him.
Excluding that he and Horace were old friends, Remus grew increasingly fond of Wanda as time passed.
In fact, Remus was delighted when he realized that there wasn’t a change in Wanda’s attitude toward him even after she knew that her chances of being together with Nicholas were slim.
Because of this, he felt even more regretful. Why couldn’t Nicholas fancy such a lovely young lady like Wanda?
Meanwhile, Wanda was clueless about the thoughts in Remus’ mind. So, she accompanied Remus for a while and only brought up the purpose of her visit when she saw that the timing was right.
“Mr. Sawyer, I’m here today because I have a personal favor I want to ask from you.”
“Oh, what is it? I’ll definitely help you if it’s within my capability.”
Perhaps due to the fact that this was Wanda’s first time asking him for help and having a slightly guilty conscience in his heart, Remus agreed to Wanda’s request quite readily.
Although Wanda was rather clever, she was far from a mind reader. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have let such a juicy opportunity slip away. But, still and all, she still managed to receive Remus’ support. So, she immediately got to the point after seeing that he was willing to help.
“It’s like this. I think the project that Nicholas has developed recently has an excellent prospect. The value of the Muller Group can rise this year if I can collaborate with Nicholas. So, Mr. Sawyer, I would like to ask if you can persuade and perhaps put in a good word for me to Nicholas regarding this project.”
“That’s an easy task. Sure. I’ll talk to Nicholas about this later.”
“Thank you, Mr. Sawyer,” Wanda said, feeling extremely happy.
She felt she was guaranteed to win that cooperative tie with Sawyer Group for this project, with Remus as her backer.
Yet, little did she know, it was a little early for her to celebrate. Frankly speaking, it was about to become a rather unfortunate trend for her.
That night, Remus invited Nicholas over to the Sawyer Residence for dinner.
The atmosphere in the dining room was considerably harmonious during the meal.
Both of them avoided discussing topics related to Tessa and only addressed the company’s affairs.
Later, the topic of their conversation unknowingly touched on the project Nicholas had developed recently. Therefore, Remus took advantage of this situation and brought Nicholas’ attention to Wanda’s request.
“Why don’t you let Wanda participate in this project too, since it has a very good prospect? It’s not easy for her to start a business in Xerthania alone.”
Nicholas furrowed his brows slightly when he heard Remus’ words. He didn’t even think twice before he declined by saying, “The company has sufficient funds for the project’s development, so we don’t need any participation from outsiders. Besides, the company is the one that customizes the high-end watch for this project. The watch is developed with the most advanced technology; each can be sold for up to tens of millions. The profit is extremely substantial, so we don’t need Muller Group to have a share in this.”
Remus couldn’t do anything, considering Nicholas’ firm and logical refusal.
Later, after Nicholas left, he conveyed the result of the discussion to Wanda.
Wanda was utterly disappointed after she learned that even Remus could do nothing regarding his grandson.
Regardless, she didn’t give up hope.
The following day, Wanda came to Sawyer Group with a proposal that was prepared by her assistant overnight.
As Nicholas leaned against his seat in the grand office, he already knew the intention of Wanda’s visit. So, he said coldly, “I think Grandpa made it clear to you yesterday regarding this matter.”
“Mr. Sawyer did tell me, but I really think the prospect of this project is full of opportunities. So, Nicholas, I hope you’ll give me a chance.”
As she spoke, she even handed over the proposal in her hand. “Here: take a look at this proposal that I made based on this project. Also, in order to show my sincerity, I’m willing to invest 100 million to participate in the development. Moreover, I’ll add on additional funds later.”
Unfortunately, Nicholas didn’t take the bait as he still vehemently disagreed with cooperating with her, no matter how good the terms Wanda had offered. In fact, he didn’t even take a look at the proposal.
“Sawyer Group isn’t short of funds, so Miss Muller, the terms you have offered aren’t that appealing to me.”
