Chapter 580
With only an hour left before meeting the head of Sunrise Group, Matthew decided to set off from the office after dealing with a pile of documents.
Kent had already reminded him three times by now, "Sir, we should leave soon. It might be congested on the way to Stike Hotel."
"Alright... Take these files to the car. I must review and revise them by today."
"Mr. Leon, you don't have to rush. This is the contract with Mr. Xender, and he isn't in a hurry."
As soon as Kent finished speaking, he received a sharp glare from Matthew.
"Who said he's not in a hurry? This is important to me, so quickly take these to the car. I don't need to hear your opinion."
"Yes, of course. My apologies, sir."
Kent was surprised by Matthew's seriousness. Kent was not wrong as there was no urgent need to complete the documents today. The discussions on the key points of the cooperation could continue until the end of the month, so Kent was confused as to why Matthew was rushing this.
Of course, Kent was unaware that Matthew simply wanted Lucy to integrate into Hudson's company as soon as possible. Besides, this was Lucy's first time as a chief designer, and being tasked with helping Hudson design fashionable and innovative clothing was a challenge for her.
Matthew felt that it was necessary for him to pave the way for her success, or else he would be worried.
Lucy's condition had been noticeably poor the past few days. Otherwise, she would not have gone to the beach to sketch. It seemed like he had put too much pressure on her.
With great power came great responsibility, and Lucy was clearly not ready for the title of chief designer yet.
However, Matthew still believed that Lucy would be able to manage her emotions and handle her responsibilities well in a short time.
Upon arriving at Stike Hotel,
UT
Matthew was 20 minutes early, which was not too late. When he entered the designated private room, the head of Sunrise Group was already there. He was a slightly chubby middle-aged man who had an, amiable smile, but only Matthew had witnessed the true nature of this
man.
This person had been causing trouble, constantly going back and forth in cooperative plans, earning him disdain within the industry.
If it were not for Matthew's goal to
get Sunrise Group's core technology in exchange, he would never have continued working with Ted as he despised people who went back on their word.

"Mr. Chorley, we had already agreed on the terms of our cooperation previously. Why the sudden change of heart?"
Matthew got straight to the point. The purpose of this dinner was not for friendly conversation. Matthew was here to hold him accountable.
However, Ted Chorley seemed
oblivious to what Matthew was implying. He replied with a smile, "Mr. Leon, you know how the market is these days. Of course, we have to consider the sincerity of our partner companies.
"The fact that you invited me for dinner today shows that you genuinely want to work with us, so we naturally adjusted our demands accordingly." "Is that so?"
Matthew had a feeling he was being manipulated. It turned out that Ted's initial request for a 50-50 split was just to test Matthew's intentions.
