Chapter 1257: Proposal


    Chapter 1257: Proposal


    Ayan locked eyes with Mario. There was no hint of amusement or expression on his face, and his voice


    remained calm and gentle as he spoke, "I don''t have any objections personally. I believe that the


    team''s maturity and capability are high enough to handle the main responsibility for this project."


    "Mr. Simpson, what do you consider as sufficient maturity?" asked Mario.


    "At the very least, they should have a certain level of experience and have led projectsrger or simr


    to this one. Otherwise, why should othersply and cooperate?" Ayan replied.


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    As soon as Ayan spoke, Mr. Nores fell silent as well. It was evident that Nores Group did not meet


    those criteria. Although Nores Group had worked onrge projects before, they were nothingpared


    to this particr piece ofnd.


    Mr. Nores let out a soundless sigh, his expression showing a hint of disappointment. But Mario


    remained silent, and he certainly wouldn''t speak up.


    Facing the conditions proposed by Ayan, Mario nodded in agreement and calmly said, "Mr. Simpson


    makes a valid point. However, since this project was initially assigned to Nores Group, it is only fitting


    that Nores Group takes on the main responsibility. What do you think, Mr. Simpson?"


    Mr. Nores was taken aback, clearly not expecting this. A trace of delight appeared in his eyes.


    Ayan narrowed his gaze slightly, casting a fleeting nce at Mario. His eyes were unusually cold, so


    cold that it was almost impossible to detect any ripples.


    Their gazes locked, and Mario was the first to speak, asking, "What do you think of my proposal, Mr.


    Simpson?"


    "It''s quite good. What about you, Mr. Nores?" Ayan''s expression remained faint as his deep eyes


    shifted to Mr. Nores. There was a hint of detachment in his gaze, which left Mr. Nores somewhat


    bewildered.


    Mr. Nores''s face darkened slightly. It seemed that he was genuinely contemting the question, and


    the atmosphere grew quiet as a result.


    Mr. Nores pondered for a moment, and after the brief silence, his voice finally rang out, unhurried and


    weighty. It appeared that Mr. Nores had indeed given it serious thought. He said, "Thank you, Mr. King


    and Mr. Simpson, for entrusting such an important task to Nores Group. I must admit that Nores Group


    truly understands this project the best. However, I believe that Simpson Group and King Group would


    be more suitable overall. After all, the burden of leading the entire team is quite heavy, and Nores


    Group might struggle to bear such a responsibility."


    Mr. Nores''s words left the members of Nores Group stunned. They hadn''t expected Mr. Nores to say


    such things. However, his gaze signaled that they shouldn''t question his decision. After all, they had


    been following Mr. Nores for a long time and were quite familiar with his actions. His current statement


    probably had some underlying reasons.


    This remark made the atmosphere even more solemn.


    It was only when Mario''sughter broke the silence that he calmly said, "Mr. Nores is exaggerating.


    Personally, I believe that Nores Group has a better understanding of the project and would be more


    suitable to take charge."


    Ayan remained silent, but deep down, he couldn''t help but specte about Mario''s intentions behind


    his behavior today. He didn''t really care about who would be in charge of the project. Regardless of the


    oue, neither he nor his team at Simpson Group would suffer any losses.


    So, was Mario trying to give Nores Group face because they hadn''t received the contract to pause the


    project? Did he want to use this gesture to make amends?


    If that was the case, Mario had miscalcted.


    After all, Nores Group was also retracting, probably because they were worried that even if they did


    secure the position of the main responsible team for the project, they would face difficulties from the


    two major contenders.


    In that case, the best solution would be to withdraw from thepetition and leave the problem to


    Ayan and Mario.


    Due to Mr. Nores''s repeated dys, Mario couldn''t force the issue any further. He turned to Ayan and


    asked, "Since Mr. Nores and Mr. Burris are unwilling, it wouldn''t be right to continue pressing them. Mr.


    Simpson, do you have any suggestions?"


    Ayan gazed at Mario with a faint expression as his well-defined fingers lightly and rhythmically tapped


    on the tabletop. He didn''t immediately answer the question but remained silent, leaving others


    wondering what he was thinking.


    The atmosphere briefly quieted down, but Mario''s gaze remained fixed on Ayan. After about half a


    minute, Ayan finally spoke.


    He said, "I don''t have any suggestions, but I would like to hear Mr. King''s thoughts."


    Mario was taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a response from Ayan. From his expression and


    reaction, it appeared that Mario had already made assumptions about how Ayan would respond, but


    reality didn''t align with his expectations, leaving him pleasantly surprised.


    Mario didn''t pause for long and said, "My idea is for everyone to vote. It seems to be the fairest


    approach. What do you think, Mr. Simpson?"


    Ayan''s words left everyone present in silence, especially Mario and Mr. Nores. They probably didn''t


    expect Ayan to say such things and willingly give up the position of the main responsible team.


    Mario narrowed his eyes, his face bing serious, and his voice turned hoarse as he said, "Does Mr.


    Simpson think I was given this challenging task because I came from afar?"


    "Of course not. Why would Mr. King think that way?" Ayan smiled faintly, disying an overall rxed


    attitude. Especially when he looked into Mario''s eyes, his expression remained indifferent, without any


    ripples. Without waiting for Mario to respond, he continued, "Mr. King, don''t overthink it. I simply believe


    that King Group is more suitable. Besides, because Simpson Group has many other matters to attend


    to, I''m concerned that it might affect the progress of the project. That''s why Mr. King is a better fit."

    Mario''s gaze remained fixed on Ayan, particrly after Ayan''s words. Mario found it increasingly


    difficult to understand Ayan''s thoughts.


    The more Mario thought about it, the more confused he became, especially in the face of Ayan''s


    response. It felt as if he was striking a soft cotton ball with a heavy blow, receiving no impactful


    response.


    The two locked eyes, and Ayan calmly asked, "Mr. King, what do you think of my suggestion?"
