Chapter 413
The door swung open as two bodyguards made their entrance, clearing the way for Alexander and Oliver.
Upon their arrival, Mr. Collins promptly rose from his seat, his face breaking into a welcoming smile.
He extended his hand towards Alexander, a gesture of respect.
"You must be Alexander? Your reputation precedes you," he said.
His gaze shifted to Oliver, who lingered in Alexander's shadow. Mr. Collins was well aware that he was not in a position to directly engage with Alexander.
Oliver was his only connection, and he was here solely because of their friendship.
When Oliver had heard that Mr. Collins was looking for the head of Kennedy Enterprise, Alexander was the first person who came to his mind.
Alexander had agreed to this meeting for one reason only: to prevent Mr. Collins from reaching out to Landon. A close association between Mr. Collins and Landon would only stir up more chaos.
Alexander met Mr. Collins' gaze and accepted his handshake.
"Alexander, I must say, you're even more charismatic in person than on television," Mr. Collins remarked.
Without a word, Alexander found a vacant spot on the sofa and settled down. "Vice president, that's the appropriate title for you, correct?" he asked.
At the mention of 'vice president,' Mr. Collins appeared slightly taken aback, but he managed to maintain his composure and nodded.
"Yes, for the time being, I am still the vice president."
"So, you're set to become the boss of Stellar Enterprises soon?" Alexander asked.
"Not in the near future. I am here primarily due to my cousin's situation. I wanted to discuss it with you and gain some insight."Alexander leaned back, lighting a cigarette. "Then, I'm afraid you've come to the wrong person. I have no information regarding Chandler's case."

"Is that so? Wasn't he here to negotiate a partnership with your company? Didn't he meet with the person in charge?"
"He did approach us for a potential collaboration, but how is that relevant to us? He was found dead in a hotel, wasn't he?"
Caught off guard, Mr. Collins glanced at Oliver, who was nonchalantly sipping his drink, seemingly indifferent to the conversation.
"Is that so? Alexander, I merely wanted to gather more information about the situation. I was hoping to meet the colleague who was negotiating with my cousin. I have no ulterior motives, and I certainly don't believe your company is involved," Mr. Collins said.
Alexander took a moment to consider his words. "I see. I was under the impression that you were here to discuss a potential partnership with me. If you wish to meet that colleague, I can arrange a meeting."
Mr. Collins' eyes lit up at the mention of 'cooperation.' He quickly set aside his concerns about his cousin and the colleague.
"I can meet with this colleague at any time. Since you're here, Alexander, we should discuss our potential partnership first."
Negotiating directly with the CEO of Kennedy Enterprise was a more straightforward approach than dealing with a project manager, and the chances of success were significantly higher.Alexander leaned forward, extinguishing his cigarette in the ashtray.
"So, what would you like to discuss?" he asked.
"I wish to continue the project my cousin was working on," Mr. Collins responded hastily. "I've heard that Kennedy Enterprise has merged with a foreign subsidiary. My company primarily manufactures electronic hardware and chips, which would be a suitable business opportunity for us. In the past, we've focused on exports, but as you know, electronic technology doesn't hold much advantage in the export market."
Kennedy Enterprise had a subsidiary with numerous international connections. If his company could establish a partnership with Kennedy Enterprise, it would undoubtedly strengthen their position.
"Our company's quality is absolutely guaranteed, otherwise we wouldn't have gone public," Mr. Collins assured, wrapping up his proposal.
Although his company had been listed for many years, in recent years, they had been on a decline due to various reasons, leading to consecutive losses and even receiving an ST warning.
Chandler made a lot of efforts to establish a connection with Kennedy Enterprise. He intended to take a chance, but who knew he would lose his life?
"That's not a problem, but Mr. Collins, are you currently in a position to take charge of the company?" Alexander asked.
