1280 Words
“Huh?? Well... we...” Although Matthew was shocked and joyful inwardly, he was still in doubt with the water, and then he looked at Vincent. When Vincent smiled at him and nodded, he was stunned! It was Vincent! Clare and Natalie saw Vincent’s expression as well and they were excited and found it unbelievable. However, when they were about to ask him for details, the representatives of the Manhattan and California companies shouted, “That’s impossible! You must be kidding me! How could anyone treat the sewage as clean as this? Not to mention your agent is still tentative!” “Why impossible? People didn’t believe that human beings could make it to fly a century ago! As Vincent said before, the experimental agent is not necessarily inferior to yours! Now open your eyes and see how perfect it is!” Natalie took the chance to embarrass them. “I, we, we don’t buy it! You must be proceeding with some kind of special protection in your state! And all of this is just your dirty trick!” The two of them shouted with twisted faces. “Is that so?” The operator was unhappy to hear that. He then pushed all the messy instruments toward them. “I assume I don’t have to teach you how to use these. Now go ahead and test it by yourselves!!” “Why not?” They agreed immediately. After operating for a long time, however, they looked at the instruments and then the crowd awkwardly, not daring to make a sound. “Is there... anything else you want to say?” Vincent smiled. “We... we...” Not only the two but also the rest representatives kept silent in case they might bring shame to themselves. “All right. We get the final result obviously!!” Thorne smiled and patted the table, then he stood up and beckoned Matthew, “President Quincy and his Greengrass company win the competition! Congratulations!” “Yeah~!!!” Natalie jumped up first and hugged Clare, and the latter did the same with joy and excitement. At the same time, however, Clare looked at Vincent with her beautiful eyes. “Do you mind giving me a hug?” “No~!” Clare and Natalie groaned at the same time, the former even blushing. “What now? Would you like to leave here by yourselves or should I drive you away?” Vincent shifted his gaze on the two representatives. “Don’t bother!! We are leaving!! You just got lucky to have better agents! We’ll see!!” The two complained as they packed their documents and then headed outside. “Wait a minute!” Vincent hurried to stop them. “What now?!” The two were stunned. “You should squat out... as you promised...” “You!!” The two were pissed all of a sudden, but they pushed Vincent aside directly, “We are not doing it! Come at us!” And then they rushed out embarrassedly. Vincent shrugged, “Guess I’ll have to give up. I can’t beat you here anyway. Haha!” “Alas, President Quincy, I didn’t expect your agents to be so impressive. You really got fruitful results on this!” Thorne took the initiative to hold Matthew’s hand. “Um, well... we just got lucky.” Matthew was guilty when he said so. “Oh, come on, it’s not all about good luck.” Thorne shook his head and then looked at Vincent, “Your son-in-law... is such a talent, calm, humble, reasonable, and wise. I can tell he is also a good spouse for your daughter. What a rare and intelligent talent!” Clare blushed again. “Yeah, sure, a talent.” Matthew was still astonished. The rest representatives could tell the result of this conference, so they said goodbye to Thorne openly. While Thorne made sure that all of them were back with a gift, considering it a consolation for their traveling here. Thorne had enough money anyway! “President Quincy, let me make it straight here. I’ll have to leave the sewage treatment project of our group to you!” Thorne smiled and said to Matthew. “What!? Leave it to my company?!” Matthew still couldn’t believe what was happening now. He froze for a moment and then held Thorne’s hand, “You got it, President Elliot! I promise to do a good job during our cooperation!” “Alright, you should go ahead with the studying of the agents! Also, I’d like to offer you a ten-million investment to accelerate your research! I’ll be waiting for your success!” “What? 10 million? That’s... that’s too much we are talking about!” Matthew couldn’t believe his ears. Clare and Natalie also found it hard to believe. Wasn’t it too generous an offer? “Please, take it. I’m doing this for the sake of my group as well. Once the agents are done, we can talk about the details of the contract. What do you think?” “Yeah, sure, President Elliot! We’ll do our best to satisfy your requirements and show our sincerity!” “Deal then!” Thorne took a look at his watch and smiled, “How about we have lunch here?” “You are flattering us, President Elliot! We’ve occupied too much of your time and we should leave you some space. Hope you won’t mind us leaving now.” Matthew had every desire to tell his father about this right now. How could he bear staying here any longer? “If so, I should let you! My secretary will contact you for the transfer of the investment!” “Thank you, President Elliot! Please stay!” Matthew led his family out as he said. Thorne, however, patted Vincent on his shoulder at this time, “Man, I assume you are not a leader or staff of the Greengrass company? How about you work for me? I can offer you the position of deputy manager of the public relations department and a million-dollar salary a year. You can get more if you can do a good job.” “Hiss~!!” Matthew and Natalie were startled upon hearing this, and couldn’t help but stare at Thorne and Vincent in a daze. Clare, on the contrary, took Vincent’s arm, got closer to him, and shook her head, “I’m... I’m sorry, President Elliot, but my... my boyfriend can’t work for you...” “Really? Why?” Thorne smiled and glanced at Vincent slyly. “Because I... I’m not in good health, and I need him to be by my side... He can’t leave...” Clare said. “It’s true, President Elliot! My sister’s illness is counting on him! We can’t lose him,” Natalie continued. “Really?” Mr. Grey asked. Matthew and his daughters looked at Vincent nervously for fear that the latter would agree. Vincent nodded, “Clare is still recovering and I’d like to be with her even just as her boyfriend. So, thank you, President Elliot, for your appreciation.” Clare’s face turned red when she heard this. Her beautiful eyes focused on Vincent, while Natalie blinked at Vincent secretly at the same time.
