King’s Awakening - Chapter 313
Chapter 313: Chapter 313: Even God is helping Imperial Group?
“What? Sana Robert wants to attend our partnership celebration?”
Messiah Anderson, receiving the news within the Imperial Group, quickly headed to the Imperial Group’s headquarters to relay this good news to Alan Austin.
Upon hearing this, a blissful smile instantly appeared on Alan Austin’s face.
This was indeed an unexpected delight. The main purpose of this celebration was to disseminate the news of their successful collaboration with Leonardo Kim, thereby boosting the reputation of the Imperial Group.
But to their surprise, Sana Robert also wanted to attend, and she herself took the initiative to ask for an invitation.
This was undeniably good news that added to their current joy!
Now, not only was Leonardo Kim on their side, but even the construction tycoon Cooper’s granddaughter was on their side as well.
How was Sherry Jones going to compete with him now?
The more Alan Austin thought about it, the more excited he became. He could already envision standing atop Sayon after taking over Nezzi City.
White Mitchell and Sherry Jones would be nothing but stepping stones for him at that point.
He would ruthlessly trample White Mitchell beneath his feet. This time, there would be no chance for him to make a comeback!
“White Mitchell, five years ago, I had the ability to drive you out, and now, five years later, I can still step on you!” Alan Austin confidently asserted in his mind.
Subsequently, Alan Austin turned to Leonardo Kim and Bing, who was in a wheelchair nearby, and instructed, “Guys, everything depends on you now!
Now even God is helping our Imperial Group. You play an essential role, so all the heads of construction teams in Sayon must attend our ceremony the day after tomorrow.
As for Sherry Jones, we absolutely can’t let her find even one construction team.”
Upon hearing this, Leonardo Kim sat calmly and confidently in his seat.
At this moment, Bing answered in his place from the wheelchair, “Don’t worry. In Sayon, no one in construction dares to refuse my brother.
If anyone dares to cooperate with Sherry Jones, our people will immediately deal with them harshly.
Also, we have arranged everything. Mr. Austin, don’t worry and just watch the fun unfold.”
Upon receiving the assurance from the Kim brothers, Alan Austin’s mood improved. The gloom from the previous land hoarding was swept away and he threw it completely out of mind.
Grandy Anderson, who was standing aside, also excitedly anticipated, “I can’t wait to see the expression on Sherry Jones’s face the day after tomorrow. Hahaha!”
While there was jubilation on Imperial Group’s side at the moment, on Sherry Jones’s end, the atmosphere was more akin to facing a formidable enemy.
Ever since she decided to hold the partnership celebration, Sherry Jones had been tirelessly busy.
Mori Jones was in charge of the celebration preparations, while Sherry and Elijah Bailey were busy trying to find construction teams that were not under Leonardo Kim’s influence.
Unfortunately, after doorknocking seven or eight firms, they were immediately thrown out the moment someone heard Sherry’s name, without even a word of negotiation.
Obviously, under the influence of Leonardo Kim, no one dared trespass against the taboo.
As Grandy Anderson put it, looking for a construction team in Sayon was even harder than shooting for the moon.
“Miss Jones, it’s getting late, let’s go back and rest. We can continue tomorrow,” Elijah advised.
If they continue like this, he was really worried Sherry would collapse before they found a construction team.
Under such circumstances, he wouldn’t know how to explain the situation to White Mitchell.
Sherry Jones shook her head silently in response to Elijah’s advice. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said firmly, “No, we can’t. The partnership celebration is the day after tomorrow.
“We must hurry, otherwise, it will be too late.”
With that said, Sherry Jones’ determination never faltered as she marched toward the next construction team that she intended to visit.
Unfortunately, the result was as always, or even worse, she didn’t even get to see the party. Instead, she was shown the door straight away.
At night, Sherry Jones dragged her tired body back to her front door. But in order not to worry White Mitchell, she still managed to put on a strained smile on her pretty face.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and at that time, Sherry Jones was already at the office.
“Elijah, which construction teams could we still visit?” Sherry Jones asked full of enthusiasm.
At Sherry’s words, a pang of heartache flashed across Elijah Bailey’s eyes. Silently, he looked at Mori Jones, hoping she could help persuade Sherry.
But at the moment, Mori Jones was also helpless. She knew that to help White Mitchell, Sherry was willing to work herself to death, no one could persuade her otherwise.
In desperation, Elijah Bailey could only hand the list he held to Sherry Jones.
Sherry Jones glanced at the names on the list, and immediately her gaze landed on a construction team.
Bright Corporation!
Wasn’t that the company of Snowden Jones’ fiancé, Jacob Bright?
Seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed across Sherry Jones’s eyes.
Although Jacob Bright had always been rather cold to her and White Mitchell, anyway he was Snowden’s fiancé and was about to marry into the Jones Family.
Moreover, if they could participate in the Nezzi project, it would be a great opportunity for the Bright Family.
Adding these reasons together, her confidence in persuading the Bright Family greatly increased.
With that thought, Sherry Jones began to examine the scale of the Bright Corporation without delay.
The Bright Family was a second-tier wealthy family. Although engineering projects were not their main business, they had nearly three hundred workers in their construction team.
The scale was somewhat small, but given their circumstances, they weren’t in a position to be picky.
“Let’s start with Bright Corporation today!” Sherry Jones said enthusiastically.
Mori Jones couldn’t help reminding her, “Sherry, perhaps you should start with another company. I don’t think it would be easy to persuade the Bright family.”
In response to Mori Jones’ reminder, Sherry Jones gently shook her head and said with a hint of despair, “Mori, I know it’s not easy to deal with the Bright Family, but if we can’t even manage to get the Bright Family on board, we needn’t think about any other company.
The Bright Family represents our best chance of securing a construction team. No matter what it takes, we must convince them to join us.”
Having said that, Sherry Jones got up and walked out with Elijah Bailey.
Half an hour later, the two of them were standing outside of the Bright Corporation’s building.
Looking at the office building of Bright Corporation, Sherry Jones took a deep breath and resolutely walked in.
Very quickly, they managed to meet the director of Bright Corporation, Archer Bright, who was Jacob Bright’s father.
Knowing that Sherry Jones was there to discuss collaboration, a mischievous smile appeared on Jacob Bright’s face as he walked into Archer Bright’s office.
As soon as he saw her, Jacob sneered, “Oh, isn’t this the leading lady, Sherry, of the grand upcoming wedding ceremony? What a change in fortunes, this year, it’s my family. I never thought the day would come when you have to come begging for our collaboration!
You want to partner? Sure, but first, kneel to me. If I’m pleased, maybe I’ll have my father consider it.
What do you say, kneel?”
