Chapter 1023


    River City, CIA.


    After a long wait, James finally met Damian.


    Ever since the incident, James had been trying to make up for it.


    However, he dared not let headquarters discover what had happened, so he could not use Souz


    River’s connections either.


    Even if he had contacted Cameron, it would not have made any difference with Colton involved.


    Therefore, James decided to go with River City after thinking it through.


    As director of the River City CIA, Damian was influential.


    Things would not go wrong by choosing him.


    “Director Wool, I had someone buy some coffee beans for you.


    “It’s nothing too fancy. Take it.


    James slowly reached over and pushed a beautifully wrapped box of coffee beans up to


    Damian.


    He came to see Damian today, and his assistant guards were all waiting outside.


    However, Damian brought an assistant.


    Therefore, there were only three of them in the room.


    “Mr. Thomson, I don’t drink coffee.


    “Let’s just get down to business.”


    Without so much a nce, Damian asked his assistant to push the coffee beans back in


    front of James.


    “Director Wool, you’re alienating yourself.


    “You’ve made a lot of effort to get River City business circle to the size and stability it has


    now.


    I’ve only gotten you some imported coffee beans as a gift.


    “They’re nothing fancy.”


    James smiled and tried to push the coffee beans back.


    “If I’m right, it’s probably not coffee beans in there?”


    Damian asked indifferently as he pressed his hand on the box.


    “No, no, no. It’s only coffee beans…”


    Without a change in expression, James answered with a smile.


    Without further ado, Damian picked up the box and slowly dumped its contents onto the


    table.


    “Hey, Director Wool…”


    James tried to stop him, but it was toote.


    The contents of the coffee bean box had been emptied.


    There was a bank card with the PIN on the back and a Rolex watch–a limited edition green.


    Submariner.


    The bank ount probably contained at least a million dors.


    “These beans are much fancier than you said.


    “Mr. Thomson, are you trying to give me trouble?”


    Smiling slowly, Damian reached out and pushed the box and everything back.


    James dared not give him the things again this time.


    “Let’s stop there if there’s nothing else. I have work to do.”


    Damian got up slowly as he was about to leave.


    “Director Wool, hold on. Hold on a minute…”


    James had no choice but to behave humbly and beg Damian.


    Damian gave James a meaningful nce.


    He would not even meet James if Sean had not instructed him to do so.


    Since Sean had ns, Damian could only y along.


    “Director Wool, I won’t say much about the rest.


    “Please give me some tips.”


    James sounded humble.


    “I don’t have any tips.


    “But I can give you some advice.“


    Damian was silent for two seconds before slowly sitting again.


    “Director Wool, go ahead!”


    James was delighted as he quickly pushed the things on the table forward again.


    “Take them away. I’ll give you some advice.”


    Damian did not give James a chance to suck up to him.


    “Yes, yes, yes…”


    James dared not waste time. He sat straight and listened attentively.


    Damian and James‘ conversationsted about 20 minutes.


    No one knew what they talked about.


    Damian even asked his assistant to leave.


    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    However, James did not look very well when he walked out of the room.


    Jon and Quill rushed to meet him.


    “Mr. Thomson, how was it? What did Director Wool say?”


    Jon’s eyes were full of worry.


    They were more anxious than James right now!


    If Jen–Bond Holdings failed to establish itself in River City, it would lose nothing more than some


    money and manpower.


    The most James would get was a scolding, but he would still be a senior executive.


    However, Jon was different.


    Jon risked everything he had on this n.


    Whether the Zimmer family could turn their fate around depended on whether Jen–Bond Holdings


    could conquer River City!


    If something went wrong, Jon would have to pay off hundreds of millions of dors of debt, let alone


    turn his fate around.


    “It’s hard! It’s really hard this time.”


    Jarnes nced at Jon and shook his head slightly.


    However, there was something meaningful in the way he looked at Jon. It was as if he was hiding


    something from Jon.
