"Mr.Chance, it’s an honor to have you here.You have no idea how excited I am about this
meeting.Please, have a seat."
To Jared’s surprise, Raymond wheeled out his office chair and offered it to him.
Raymond’s enthusiasm befuddled Jared.
Why is he being so over-the-top with his greetings? All I did was ask Tommy to pop in earlier to make
his acquaintance!
"Mr.Green, do you know me?" Jared asked blankly.
"Of course! I was at Mr.Grange’s banquet too.Your gallantry remains fresh in my mind.That Steven
Fisher insisted on raining on Mr.Grange’s parade, yet you sent him flying with one kick."
Raymond’s heart swelled with excitement as he recalled the happenings at the banquet.
That day, Steven had led men from the Crimson Dragon Gang to Walter’s banquet, frightening the
guests to no end.
After all, the average businessmen did not typically engage in physical fights.
Jared had then stepped forward and subdued Steven, which had earned him the respect of all the
guests at the banquet.
Raymond’s mention of the banquet brought a knowing smile to Jared’s face.
Now I know why he’s greeting me so enthusiastically! If I had known this sooner, I wouldn’t have
troubled Tommy to give him a heads-up.Jared replied humbly, "Mr.Green, I’m just an average sales representative, here to discuss a deal with
you.There is no need to bring up the past."
"I know, I know."
Raymond nodded eagerly before addressing his secretary, "Eliza, have you completed the contract I
told you about earlier?"
"Yes.It’s here."
She hurriedly handed over the contract to Raymond.
He then passed it to Jared and said, "Mr.Chance, please review the contract thoroughly.If you’d like to
propose any edits to the contract, please let us know, and we’ll try our best to accommodate your
requirements."
novelbinJared replied without reading the contract, "I don’t need to check it.I trust you, Mr.Green."
"In that case, let’s sign on it."
Raymond hurriedly produced a pen and handed it to Jared.
Just as Jared was about to sign the contract, however, Leyton stormed into the office with Sandy in
tow.
"Mr.Scott?"
Raymond frowned slightly at the uninvited guests.He could only let Leyton’s blatantly disrespectful
behavior slide.
Cosmic Chemical did not have the luxury of offending the powerful Scott family.While his company had a sizeable market share in the chemical industry, the Scotts owned businesses
in every field imaginable, and their power and influence both awed and frightened the industry.
Leyton demanded coldly, "Mr.Green, I’m here to discuss a deal with you.I recall the talks between our
families going quite smoothly, so why are you suddenly signing a deal with someone else instead?"
"Mr.Scott, we considered the matter thoroughly before deciding to sign with Sentiment
ChemicalLimited.We are fellow businessmen; I’m sure you understand that we will always prioritize the
final profit,"
Raymond explained with a smile.Leyton glared at him and spat, "That’s a load of crap! Do you think I’m
an idiot? They sent one random salesman to visit you, and here you are signing a deal with them?
They must’ve bribed you! I came here on behalf of the Scotts to close the deal, and that’s an honor
you’ll scarcely receive in your lifetime."
His rage was palpable.
After all, he had come by with plans to belittle Jared, only to find out that he himself had become the
fool.
It would be too embarrassing if Jared walked away with that contract! All traces of the smile on
Raymond’s face disappeared.
Hardening his tone, he declared, "Mr.Scott, please watch your words.Cosmic Chemical is my company,
and I can sign deals with whomever I want.I don’t care how powerful the Scotts are, but they don’t have
a say in how I run my company!"
Leyton was taken aback at Raymond’s audacity to talk back to him.Scrunching his brows in anger, he roared, "Are you going to talk to me like that? I could kick your whole
company out of Horington in less than a month!"
