Chapter 65
915 Words
At eight in the morning, Ethan and Sophia arrived at the Cruz Group headquarters.
Sophia asked anxiously, "Ethan, are you sure about this?"
Nowadays, unreliable friends were all too common, and Sophia knew very well the strength of the Cruz family. Although she trusted Ethan, could just a promise from an ordinary friend decide such a significant deal?
Ethan looked at her gently, "Sophia, trust me."
The hesitation in Sophia's eyes turned into determination. She believed in Ethan. He was her only support.
As soon as they entered the Cruz Group, Samson walked up with a smile, "You must be Ms.Lee? Let me introduce myself. I'm Samson Cruz, the director of the Cruz Group."
Sophia was shocked, "What? You... You're Samson, the chairman's son?"
She never expected the person liaising with her to be the heir of the Cruz Group. Moreover, Samson seemed to be waiting specifically for her.
Samson smiled and nodded, showing no arrogance, "Yes, Ms. Lee, it is me. I know your situation well. The Cruz Group is delighted to cooperate with your company. I've drafted the contract, and if there are no issues, we can sign it anytime."
Sophia said in astonishment, "What? We can sign the contract now?" Her eyes were filled with deep disbelief. She never thought happiness would come so suddenly.
Samson asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Do you have any other questions, Ms. Harris?"
Samson didn't dare to delay. After receiving Ethan's call, Ulmer ordered him immediately to fully cooperate with Sophia. Even if she asked for the entire Cruz Group, Samson couldn't hesitate for a moment.
Sophia, feeling incredibly flattered, said, "No problem."
Samson opened his mouth as if to speak to Ethan, but Ethan shook his head at him.
Samson said no more, but the deep respect in his eyes did not diminish.

Meanwhile, at Rising Group's Business Department, everyone was gathered including two senior figures.
They were the two Deputy General Managers of Rising Group, Jabbar and Adolph! Apart from the General Manager, they were the most powerful people in the company!
Dilanne glanced at Jabbar and said with a smile, "Mr. Cyrus, Sophia has already gone to the Cruz Group. It won't be long before the result is clear. Then you will know who is truly suitable to be the Business Director of Rising Group."
Seeing Dilanne's confident demeanor, Jabbar's expression turned grim, but he still responded firmly, "It's too early to make a judgment now!"
Dilanne said confidently, "Hehe... I forgot to tell you, Mr. Cyrus. Alf Kirk, who's in charge of this project at the Cruz Group, is my boyfriend. We'll get married soon. There's no way anyone but me can secure this partnership. Do you still think it's too early for me to say this?"
Jabbar finally showed a look of shock, "What? Is this true?!"
Seeing Jabbar's expression, Adolph, standing beside him, smiled proudly, "Oh, I forgot to mention this! Jabbar, don't forget to attend the wedding when they get engaged. Haha..."
Jabbar's face turned a bit grim. He had helped Sophia not only because he appreciated her abilities, but also to boost his chances of becoming the General Manager.
But now, it seemed he had lost. In Jabbar's view, the likelihood of Sophia securing the Cruz Group partnership was almost zero.
Squeak!
Just as he was thinking, the door opened, and Sophia and Ethan walked in.
Dilanne's mocking voice came immediately, "Sophia, I didn't expect you to show up at work! After failing at the Cruz Group, if I were you, I'd leave in shame to avoid further humiliation."
The other colleagues also started mocking, "Yeah, Sophia, it would have been better if you had given up your position to Dilanne earlier. At least you could have some dignity. Haha..."
Under the contemptuous gazes of everyone, Sophia remained calm, threw a contract onto the table, and smiled, "Sorry to disappoint you all!"
All eyes turned to the contract, and the mocking expressions froze.
Especially Dilanne, who couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them hard, picked up the contract, and examined it carefully. Finally, she looked at Sophia with a stunned expression, "This... this can't be real! You secured the Cruz Group partnership?"
At that moment, Dilanne was utterly bewildered.
Not only Dilanne, but the entire Business Department was in shock. Even Adolph, who always kept his composure, had a slight change in his expression.
On the other hand, Jabbar's face lit up with joy! 'Sophia succeeded?'
Everyone looked at Sophia with overwhelming astonishment.
No one had expected that Sophia and Ethan could secure the Cruz Group partnership.
Jabbar's excitement was evident, "Let me see the contract..."
If Sophia secured the partnership, it would be the best outcome for Jabbar.
Dilanne's face turned grim, and she said darkly, "Mr. Cyrus, you should check this contract carefully. There might be some trickery involved. Perhaps someone faked the contract to succeed."
Thinking of this, Dilanne felt more confident and even smirked.
She didn't believe Sophia could get the contract. After all, Alf was her boyfriend. She had spent money and even compromised herself. Now at the point of engagement. If Sophia could secure the partnership easily with just one visit, it would be absurd.
Thinking of this, Dilanne looked at Sophia with strong disdain!
She was convinced that Sophia had faked the contract because she couldn't stand losing.
'Hmph! Sophia, you're so unscrupulous. When your fraud is exposed, I'll make sure you have no place in Rising Group!'
