Chapter 34 Fools
"You-" Fabio spat out with a flush of red tinging his greasy face. Harshly, he said, "I may not have a way to teach you a lesson, but Mr. Cordrington definitely does. You're done for. Just wait for it!" After that, Fabio stepped on the accelerator and sped off into the distance.
"I'm done for? Looks like Jared's comfortable life is coming to an end," Christopher said with a smirk.
Back in Cordrington Corporation, Jared and Harold were both beaming with joy. The former had just received a call from Daniel saying that he was put in charge of one of the Dragon Valley development projects and that it was one of the first to be revealed to the public.
The moment that Cordrington Corporation collaborated with Centurion Corporation, their company would really very good exposure to the public.
Harold patted his son on the back proudly. "Good job, Jared. The project may not be a big one for now, but it's still a collaboration with Centurion Corporation and it's their first collaboration project too. If we play our cards right, it'll only be nothing but help to raise our stock prices."
"Yeah! We may not be able to get our hands on those larger projects, and I heard that even companies from other cities are trying to join in the bid as well. The competition will be crazy by then. I think the first collaboration project is definitely the most important," Jared said proudly.
"This is a really good chance for Cordrington Corporation. We have to really grab this opportunity!" Harold said with a chuckle.
"I'll tip the media off early so that we can have a grand opening. I can't wait to see our stock prices rise and rise when that happens!" Jared grinned.
"Okay. Time is of the essence. Now that Mr. Davis is on the hook, don't be stingy with anything and spend whatever you need to. As long as you can get hold of this golden opportunity, it'll only be a matter of time before people are bowing at our feet!" Harold said before laughing.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'll get on that right now."
Jared immediately rushed out and discreetly transferred another two million to Daniel before calling him. He picked up the call instantly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cordrington. I'll be in charge of the entire project from start to finish."
After settling everything, Jared couldn't help but feel extremely satisfied. He felt as if the entire world was in his hands. He laughed coldly and murmured, "Just wait and see how I get you to beg for my forgiveness, Christopher!"
Fabio had just gotten home when he began laughing like crazy. Fabian looked at him with a confused frown and asked, "What's up? Did you hear about something from Mr. Cordrington?"
Fabio immediately chuckled. "Well, not about Mr. Cordrington. I just bumped into Christopher, and guess what I saw him holding? A proposal! It's a joke that he actually wants to collaborate with Centurion Corporation! As if they would even give him the time of day!"
"He really needs to learn his place," Fabian scoffed.
Suddenly, he thought about Christopher playing another trick on him, especially when he knew that secretary from the city. He definitely had to have his guards up.
After hesitating for a second, he said, "Frank owns some land. Give Mr. Cordrington a call. I'll go and look into Christopher's so-called company."
"I don't think there's a need for that, Dad," Fabio said in confusion.
"We can't let your Uncle Frank take any chances," Fabian said with a cold gleam in his eyes.
After that, Fabian immediately got some people from the company to look into Frank's company while Fabio called Jared. Soon enough, he picked up and Fabio instantly said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Cordrington. I just bumped into Christopher and I saw him holding onto a proposal. There's a high chance that he's looking to collaborate with Centurion Corporation. My dad asked me to let you know as he's a bit worried."
"Hahaha! That's insane! Looks like everyone is trying to collaborate with Centurion Corporation these days. How funny! Ask your dad not to worry, Fabio. I have called Mr. Davis and gotten the approval for this first collaboration project. You'll see the results in a few days. As for Christopher's proposal... Well, the secretary he knows has already been transferred away. What more can he do?"
Jared chuckled coldly. He hadn't imagined that Christopher would have been mindless enough to come up with a proposal. How crazy and confident does one have to be to have the guts to do that? Fabio hung up and told Fabian about it.
At the same time, Fabian received a message. He read it and cursed out loud. "Christopher is actually insane! His company has nothing but a registered capital of a hundred thousand. It's just some bare- bones company without any paid-in capital, too. How did he even come up with the idea of working with Centurion Corporation? I even thought there was a plan up his sleeve!" Fabian was more than angry at the way Christopher had shocked him.
"One hundred thousand? Haha! Uncle Frank and his whole family are just full of freaks!" Fabio said mockingly.
Back in Centurion Corporation, Diane was keeping a close eye on Daniel's bank account transaction history. Coldly, she scoffed and said, "Daniel really has some guts. Three million in one day? The Cordringtons are really determined!"
