“I made an appointment with you because I wanted to cooperate with yourpany on a project.” Ivan sat on the sofa, making tea personally. He added gently, “Mr. Russell, I heard you have a talented CTO in yourpany.”


    Then he passed a cup of tea and a document to Albert.


    His words rxed Albert.


    “You are an expert in online apps. Our Marsh Group will be in charge of the project management, and you’ll take charge of the development. Let’s create an online education app. What do you think?”


    Ivan added gently, “By the way, I’ve written a detailed business n. Please take a look if you are interested.”


    “Besides.” Ivan passed him another file. “This one is the project agreement.”


    His words reechoed in Albert’s ears.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Developing an online app required high costs. Although the Russell Group had been researching and studying for years, they only developed a few.


    Earlier, Albert considered cooperating with the Calder Group. However, since Finnley was unwilling to marry Eloise, Albert had to give up his n.


    He picked up the business n and browsed it quickly.


    Ivan waited patiently whiles studying the delicate patterns on his teacup. From time to time, he sipped the tea.


    “It’s really detailed, Mr. Marsh.” Albert was joyful. “I can tell you’ve done a lot of research.”


    “Yes, I have,” Ivan admitted, nodding. “I’ve put much effort into this project and have been looking for a business partner.”


    Albert felt ttered. Of course, he agreed to work with Ivan.


    “My wife and Mya are besties,” Ivan reminded him deliberately. “Once ourpanies cooperate, we’re more like family.”


    Albert looked into Ivan’s eyes and understood what he implied.


    They signed the agreement smoothly, wishing to have a win-win result on the project.


    After Albert left the nightclub, Ivan continued to enjoy the tea on the sofa, his eyes dark and intense.


    He stood up to leave the room. In the corridor, he saw a young man holding aptop bypassing him.


    By ident, he saw a USB disk on theptop, and a half crystal that looked familiar was hanging on the disk.


    Instantly, Ivan stopped mid-step, followed the young man, and watched him enter a door of a private room.


    Ivan held his nerves and strode toward the room.


    Through the opened door, he saw four or five people. The room was a big multifunctional conference room.


    Ivan’s appearance attracted their attention soon.


    “Hello, Mr. Marsh.”


    Zack, in a suit, stood up. He was surprised but said with pleasure, “Are you also in the nightclub today?”


    Ivan adjusted his expression and answered, “Yes, I am.” He entered the room and saw theptop in front of Zack with a single glimpse.


    The half piece of crystal was still there.


    “Are you at a meeting?” Ivan looked at the crystal intensely but didn’t emanate stress to others.


    Following his gaze, Zack also saw the crystal.


    Everyone watched Ivan. “Good afternoon, Mr. Marsh,” they all greeted Ivan fearfully.


    Ivan withdrew his gaze and nodded at them in response.


    “Yes, Mr. Marsh. We reserved this meeting room for a project discussion,” Zack answered.


    “Did you bring your ownptop?” Ivan looked at theptop with the USB disk again. He added, “In fact, we also provide our patrons withptops on the second floor.”


    “I know, Mr. Marsh. It’s troublesome to transfer the documents, so I brought my own,” Zack answered in a self-mockery, “I’m too aged to learn the high-tech.”


    “Where did you buy the USB disk? What’s its volume?” Ivan made a lousy excuse. “I also n to buy one.”


    Zack was shocked, wondering if Ivan meant topare the cost performance of the USB Disks. In fact, if Ivan ordered his assistant, it could be done easily.


    However, Ivan only wished to ensure whose USB disk it was.
