    Chapter 149: Big Brother’s Idea


    Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    You can tell from the fact that the other party refuses to change their mind, just what Second


    Brother has put into this. Sylvia was really curious about it, but since Second Brother was dead set


    on keeping it under wraps, she gave up. “Well,” she thought, “if he doesn’t want to spill the beans


    now, I’ll just ask himter.”


    “Well, I that’s the case, let’s talk about our coboration. Did my brother mention it to you? I’m


    currently looking into a techpany. I don’t know much about you, and I’m not entirely clear about


    yourpany either. He just hastly arranged for us to meet. Frankly, it seems quite inappropriate,


    especially to meet at the office.”


    As Sylvia started talking business, her demeanor changed. Her serious look deeply intrigued the


    man across from her, but what she said left Benjamin a bit puzzled.


    “Coboration?” Benjamin eximed, surprised. “While it’s true I came here with that intention, the


    coboration your brother mentioned wasn’t about a techpany. Mypany isn’t even in the


    tech sector.”


    Silence enveloped them both, neither expecting things to turn out like this. They had assumed the


    other’s idea of coboration matched theirs. But now they realized that wasn’t the case at all their


    companies didn’t align, what was the point of discussing coboration?


    w that. So why bring in someone totally unrted?


    Sviva couldn’t wrap ber head around it. She was clearly involved in the tech industry now, and her


    brother knew that Sov


    After a moment, Benjamin chuckled. He figured out what Sylvia’s brother was up to. Frankly, it was


    a bit hical, but hey, when opportunity knocks, you’ve got to seize it, right?


    “think I’ve figured out what your brother wants. Though I can’t coborate with you directly, I do


    have contacts who could. You’ve probably seen Frank’s profile, you know about his connection with


    Cyril So, I assume you won’t be coborating with him anymore. I have anotherpany in mind


    that could be a potential match. Let me organize the details and send them to youter. Let’s


    exchange contact information.”


    His main goal was to exchange contact information, but mentioning the techpany piqued


    Sylvia’s interest. She couldn’t find a reason to object, so she reluctantly gave him ber work phone


    and added his contact details


    Benjamin noticed that Sylvia’s phone was different from the one she usually used, but he didn’t


    think much of it. “It’s all business,” he thought, seeing no harm in l.


    “Well, in that case, let me treat you to a meal I really didn’t expect my brother to put you in such a


    difficult position..


    “It’s not that difficult,” Sylvainterjected “I’m actually happy to be doing this. It’s been a long time


    since west met, so I’m d for the opportunity. And your brother also gave me a choice, I didn’t


    refuse.”


    After a pause, Benjarin added, “But if you’re offering to treat me, I certainly won’t refuse.”


    Sylva reactantly took him out for lunch she had to admit, Benjamin was indeed a very considerate


    and gentle man


    He knew Sylvia might not be used to this kind of atmosphere, so he spoke patiently, always bringing


    up interesting topics to ease her nerves.


    After a pleasant meal, they parted ways to attend to their respective tasks for the afternoon.


    As soon as Benjamin lett, Sylvia’s expression changed. She immediately called Balk.


    “My dear brother, do you need to exin what’s going on? Was the purpose of bringing this person


    today not about discussing coboration at all? Did you just want me to assess him and bring him


    home


    The way he looked at her was too suggestive. If this continued for too long, she might end up with


    another admirer around her.


    Sylvia was faming. She couldn’t understand what her brother was thinking. He knew her well


    enough to know she wasn’t interested in rtionships Could she really jump into another one so


    quickly after being hurt?


    Baik protested on the other end of the line, “It’s not my fault! It was Big Brother’s idea. He said if you


    continued like this, your health would suffer. Seeing you unhappy makes us sad too. So, I thought


    of a way to help you rx Besides, this guy contacted me on his own. I just thought he might have a


    company that could coborate with yours. After all, we’re just making rmendations within


    reasonable limits. You two were middle school ssmates; what’s the harm in chatting?”


    “You wouldn’t normally do something like this. Are you trying to get back at me for not treating you


    well over the years? If so, can’t you find a better way than using something like this to get back at


    me?


    Sylvia gritted her teeth. If this guy really was sent by Big Brother, Balk would definitely try to reject


    him. But now, with Big Brother and Balk working together, it was obvious they were up to


    something.


    Hearing Sylvia’s words, Balk burst intoughter. “Your brother isn’t that over the top. I just thought it


    was time for you


    ou to start a new life. Yes, thepany is your responsibility, but that doesn’t mean your whole life


    should revolve around it. You should do other things too. Even if you’re not getting married, you


    should at least date. There are so many men in the world, take your time to choose. We’re just


    making reasonable rmendations. In the end, it’s up to you to decide.”


    “Alright, I don’t want to hear any more about this. I have work to do.”


    She hung up and walked to the office, feeling irritated. On her way back, she received another call


    from Big Brother.


    She didn’t need to guess, it was definitely because Balk had run to tattle on her, or Big Brother had


    found out she met Benjamin. Reluctantly, she answered the call.
