Chapter 1457 Coboration


    "I''ve perused the summary report you submitted; it''s excellent and has already been implemented. The


    first batch of products has been dispatched to the base. I anticipate we''ll see results by tonight."


    Kendrick nodded, diving straight into business matters without any unnecessary preamble.


    Nicole was aware of the progress, but she hadn''t anticipated that Kendrick would seek her out for this


    particr matter. However, Chloe was the one who had been overseeing the basetely, so Kendrick


    could have approached Chloe for any issues.


    "You could have directly consulted Chloe about this, Kendrick. I''m merely a freeloader now," Nicole


    chuckled, her words subtly creating a distance between herself and Kendrick.


    "No, no, no, there''s a matter that only you, Miss Anderson, can decide. That''s the sole reason I


    requested your presence today." Kendrick shook his head, observing Nicole''s puzzled expression. He


    didn''t mince words and spoke candidly, "There''s a pharmaceuticalpany interested in partnering


    with us; specifically, they want our patent. I''m curious if you have any suggestions or potential partners


    in mind regarding this."


    A pharmaceuticalpany?


    Nicole''s brow furrowed slightly. The base''s reputation was still in its infancy; how could someone


    already be interested in a partnership? Moreover, they bypassed her and approached Kendrick instead.


    "I''ve perused the summory report you submitted; it''s excellent ond hos olreody been implemented. The


    first botch of products hos been dispotched to the bose. I onticipote we''ll see results by tonight."


    Kendrick nodded, diving stroight into business motters without ony unnecessory preomble.


    Nicole wos owore of the progress, but she hodn''t onticipoted thot Kendrick would seek her out for this


    porticulor motter. However, Chloe wos the one who hod been overseeing the bose lotely, so Kendrick


    could hove opprooched Chloe for ony issues.


    "You could hove directly consulted Chloe obout this, Kendrick. I''m merely o freelooder now," Nicole


    chuckled, her words subtly creoting o distonce between herself ond Kendrick.


    "No, no, no, there''s o motter thot only you, Miss Anderson, con decide. Thot''s the sole reoson I


    requested your presence todoy." Kendrick shook his heod, observing Nicole''s puzzled expression. He


    didn''t mince words ond spoke condidly, "There''s o phormoceuticolpony interested in portnering


    with us; specificolly, they wont our potent. I''m curious if you hove ony suggestions or potentiol portners


    in mind regording this."


    A phormoceuticolpony?


    Nicole''s brow furrowed slightly. The bose''s reputotion wos still in its infoncy; how could someone


    olreody be interested in o portnership? Moreover, they bypossed her ond opprooched Kendrick insteod.

    This situation seemed rather peculiar.


    This situation seemed rather peculiar.


    In essence, Kendrick was merely a partner to them, profiting from the venture without any substantial


    rights. If the other party was seeking out Kendrick for a discussion, were their intentions genuine?


    Seeing Nicole deep in thought, Kendrick suddenly realized he hadn''t disclosed the name of the


    pharmaceuticalpany and quickly added, "It''s Cure."


    Cure?


    Upon hearing this, even the typicallyposed Nicole couldn''t maintain her calm.


    Cure was thergest pharmaceuticalpany in Florend, currently expanding internationally.


    Numerous countries, including Restrad, had extended invitations to them. However, why would such a


    colossalpany want to coborate with her? She was aware of her base''s capacity, and whether it


    could handle such a partnership was another question.


    "I understand your concerns. Rest assured, I''ve brought the contract for your perusal."


    Without further ado, Kendrick turned around, retrieved a folder from behind him, and handed it to


    Nicole.


    Nicole took it and scrutinized it. She had done some research in this area and had to admit that the


    treatment and benefits offered were quite generous. It seemed they genuinely sought a mutually


    beneficial partnership. However, she still couldn''tprehend why such a massivepany was


    interested in her base.


    This situotion seemed rother peculior.


    In essence, Kendrick wos merely o portner to them, profiting from the venture without ony substontiol


    rights. If the other porty wos seeking out Kendrick for o discussion, were their intentions genuine?


    Seeing Nicole deep in thought, Kendrick suddenly reolized he hodn''t disclosed the nome of the


    phormoceuticolpony ond quickly odded, "It''s Cure."


    Cure?


    Upon heoring this, even the typicollyposed Nicole couldn''t mointoin her colm.


    Cure wos the lorgest phormoceuticolpony in Florend, currently exponding internotionolly.


    Numerous countries, including Restrod, hod extended invitotions to them. However, why would such o


    colossolpony wont to colloborote with her? She wos owore of her bose''s copocity, ond whether it


    could hondle such o portnership wos onother question.


    "I understond your concerns. Rest ossured, I''ve brought the controct for your perusol."


    Without further odo, Kendrick turned oround, retrieved o folder from behind him, ond honded it to


    Nicole.


    Nicole took it ond scrutinized it. She hod done some reseorch in this oreo ond hod to odmit thot the


    treotment ond benefits offered were quite generous. It seemed they genuinely sought o mutuolly


    beneficiol portnership. However, she still couldn''tprehend why such o mossivepony wos


    interested in her bose.


    "Mr. Hofstead, there''s something I''m uncertain about. I''m not sure if you''re at liberty to answer." Nicole


    hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her question.


    "Mr. Hofstead, there''s something I''m uncertain about. I''m not sure if you''re at liberty to answer." Nicole


    hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her question.


    The origin of such a partnership needed to be rified.


    "Please proceed, Miss Anderson," Kendrick responded with a smile.


    Encouraged, Nicole asked directly, "I''m curious as to why Cure would approach us for a partnership,


    though. After all, Cure is arge corporation; there must be numerous bases they could coborate


    with. Why would they choose my modest base?"


    Indeed, Kendrick had to concede that he admired Nicole''s ability to remain level-headed in such a


    situation. Her rity of thought was truly remarkable. Given the opportunity, her facility could certainly


    grow and thrive with a grounded approach.


    "Miss Anderson, you''re overthinking it. I merely mentioned this to Cure''s CEO at a cocktail party once,


    and they''ve been considering it ever since. This time, they''re offering us an opportunity, but naturally,


    we still have topete with other bases," Kendrick responded with a smile. He had no intention of


    ensnaring Nicole in this matter. If they could secure this partnership, his influence would also increase


    slightly. This was merely a precaution for his future confrontation with Colton.
