When Gary met Neil’s cold gaze, he immediately said, “No… Due to the recent reorganization, it looks like Anderson Corporation is leaning toward MY Corporation. If you can help us, it would be a lot faster for us to get on the right track.”
Neil contemplated for a while before he sternly said, “Alright, I’ll settle this. Get back to work.”
After the employees of Perficient left, he gave Ryan a call.
“Hello, Neil. Is there something you want to talk about?”
“Yes. Is one of the companies under Anderson Corporation collaborating with MY Corporation?”
Ryan was surprised to hear Neil ask about such a trivial matter. “I’ll ask my secretary,” he replied.
Soon, Ryan received the information he needed.
“MY Corporation does intend to collaborate with us. If nothing goes wrong, we’ll sign the contract in a few days. Why do you ask?”
“Can you award the project to Perficient instead?”
Ryan was taken aback, and he asked, “How will it benefit us?”
“Anderson Corporation will be able to develop the land in East City as well.”
He was truly shocked, and he started to take the conversation more seriously.
“Why are you suddenly concerned about a small company under Remus Corporation?”
Neil was expressionless. “I plan to separate Perficient from Remus Corporation.”
“Why?”
“Ada wants to practice her management skills in a company.”
Ryan frowned the moment he heard this. “Neil, don’t you think this is really unfair to Silvia? You shouldn’t forget that she’s the one who stayed by your side during those tough times. She supported you for three years but got nothing. Instead, you hang on Ada’s every word.”
Neil did not respond for a while. When he finally spoke, he sounded colder. “That’s none of your business. Just tell me if you agree with the request.”
“There’s no reason why I’d disagree.”
“Miss Pond, do we need to reschedule with Mr. Anderson?”
She shook her head. “No. He won’t see me anymore.”
Joe immediately understood that Anderson Corporation had rejected their offer.
“Regarding the collaboration…”
“Tell Miss Reed that she doesn’t have to follow up on it anymore.”
Dulcie came over as soon as she heard the news.
“Miss Pond, why are we suddenly giving up on this project?”
Silvia put down the document in her hand and rubbed her temple. “Perficient has a higher chance of securing the deal. We’ll only waste our time if we continue to bid on it.”
Dulcie frowned and said, “I heard that Neil fired more than half of the management staff in Perficient today. I think he’s snatching this project from us to stabilize that company of his!”
