Chapter 1056


    To be honest, I was starting to have a headache right now. Fixing the bid proposal alone to make it


    presentable was difficult enough, not to mention the fact that I was clueless about the general


    situation.


    "Ms. Lane?"


    A man''s voice sounded in my ears. It sounded a little familiar.


    I looked up and saw a slightly chubby middle-aged man.


    I froze a little, then asked curiously, "You are?"


    The man chortled twice and said, "Great wits have short memories. Have you already forgotten me,


    Ms. Lane? We metst night."


    I suddenly remembered and hurriedly got up, saying," I''m really sorry, Mr. Isaac. I drank quite a bit


    of alcoholst night and was feeling light-headed. I wasn''t able t o recall your name in such a short


    time."


    The man chuckled. "You have to remember my name from now on, Ms. Lane. Otherwise, it''ll be


    awkward when we meet next time."


    I nodded with a smile. "Definitely."


    Mr. Isaac sat on the sofa and looked at the documents i


    n my hands, asking faintly, "Are you here for the bidding event too?"


    I nodded. "You too, Mr. Isaac?"


    Mr. Isaac smiled. "Of course."


    Judging from Theo''s reactionst night, it was clear that he was not going to make a decision so


    soon.


    Hence, Mr. Isaac thought it waspulsory for him to participate in the bidding event today.


    I sat on the sofa, shutting the file andptop in my hand.


    Mr. Isaac saw that and asked with a smile, "Where do you work at, Ms. Lane?"


    I smiled slightly. "Fredericks Corporations."


    "Fredericks Corporations, I see." Mr. Isaac narrowed his eyes. "Not bad. A young and talenteddy."


    Mr. Isaac did not seem to like Fredericks Corporations that much.


    The waiter passed by and I asked for two sses of fruit juice. I put one of them in front of Mr. Isaac


    and said with a smile, "If I''m not mistaken,panies like yours aren''t allowed to bid, Mr. Isaac."


    Mr. Isaac was a little stunned, then said with a smile," That’s right. Of course, we can’t join the


    bidding. My wife will be the bidder. She opened apany two years ago, so when I learned that


    Grant Corporation is having a bidding event, I told her toe over and try her luck. She didn''t


    want toe at first and thought that she would never win the bid because herpany is too


    small, but I persuaded her to just try it out. What if she seeds? Besides, I''ll be here to keep her


    company, so there''s nothing for her to be afraid of."


    He sounded like a good husband who pampered his wife.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    I smiled but did not say anything.


    Seeing that it was gettingte, I took a sip of juice and got up, saying, "The bidding event is about to


    begin, M r. Isaac. I have to go and get ready now."


    Mr. Isaac got up as well and stood in front of me. "The bidding event will only officially begin at nine


    o''clock, Ms. Lane. There’s no hurry. It’s not every day that we get to meet each other. Why don''t we


    talk some more?"


    Even an idiot knew what he was up to. I said mildly, " I’m greatly honored that you’re willing to chat


    with an insignificant secretary like me. What is it that you would like to talk to me about, Mr. Isaac?”


    Mr. Isaac grinned slightly and sat back on the sofa, gesturing for me to sit down as well.


    I maintained good manners and sat down on the sofa, looking at him with a smile.


    "How much will yourmission be when you get this project, Ms. Lane?" he asked, not intending


    to beat about the bush.


    I helplessly smiled. "Are you concerned about my livelihood, Mr. Isaac?"


    Mr. Isaac froze a little, then started chortling. "You’re humorous, Ms. Lane.”


    Iughed along with him and did not say much.


    When Mr. Isaac was done chortling, he said, "Miss Lane, why don''t you delve into details? If our


    discussion goes well, then we might even be good partners."
