Chapter 532


    ?


    Noelle nodded. "I know that, but theirpany is small and not really in the scope of consideration. I didn''t think you''d change anything because of them."


    Charles heard her and smiled slightly. He got up, walked behind Noelle, and ced his hands on her shoulders, gently massaging them.


    Noelle looked up, surprised by Charles'' actions. She was about to pat his hand and ask him to sit down when Charles ced one hand over hers. "You seemed ufortable from working with your head down for so long," he noted.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Noelle blinked, then smiled softly. "Alright. Thank you, Charlie."


    She realized she had indeed been hunched over for too long. Her shoulders and back were sore and numb. She had not expected Charles to notice such small details.


    "I''m the kind of person who doesn''t like anyone having control over my lifeline," Charles said as he continued to massage her shoulders with just the right amount of pressure, making her feelfortable.


    She tilted her head to look into his eyes as he exined, "Joseph approached my grandfather. Back then, La owed them a favor. Naturally, it needs to be repaid. My grandfather is quite traditional, and since Joseph''s wife is also a Hoffman, there''s a certain level of consideration to be maintained."


    "That makes sense, but as far as I know, Collosus Group has already given Frotconn special treatment under the table. Despite this, Frotconn hasn''t made any progress over the years. I don''t think Frotconn is worth the effort."


    "That''s why I abandoned their proposal and went straight to outside partners."


    Noelle suddenly understood. "So, you brought in George. On one hand, you''ve worked with George before, and Collosus Group''s team is familiar with him, so no one would have any objections.


    "On the other hand, coborating with an outsider maximizes potential benefits."


    Charles nodded approvingly. "You''re very perceptive!"


    "Oh, please. I''m just saying all this after you already had everything figured out. You just let me in on it!" Noelle acknowledged her own limitations with a smile.


    "So, what''s your n for the follow-up? How will you handle it?"


    "Have you forgotten about Peter?"


    Noelle paused, then quickly turned around.


    "Are you nning to work with Peter?" She nodded in


    understanding. "Well, coborating with Peter is definitely better than with others. Ten Frotconns couldn''tpare to one Lennon Group, so even if your grandfather has any concerns, he''ll likely overlook them because of Peter." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org


    "Collosus Group wasn''t originally meant to expand into this area. I just want to test the waters. Peter is more experienced in this field."


    "How long will George be staying here? Since the project hasn''t started yet, it''ll take at least a year for the first and second phases. He can''t possibly stay in a hotel the whole time."


    "Good point. I hadn''t really considered that," Charles admitted with a nod. "George will indeed need to stay for an extended period. His involvement is required in both the initial andter stages."


    "You mentioned George is interested in Westel''s culture?" Noelle excitedly grabbed a pen and paper to jot down


    George''s interests and pret


    "It''s the weekend the day after tomorrow. We could take him around for some sightseeing. Oh, and is he interested in Westel''s tea culture?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org


    "Why? Are you nning to be the perfect host? Charles chuckled, ruffling Noelle''s hair. "He might be interested. In past coborations, left the arrangements to Ronald and his team, so I never really delved into these things!" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
