Chapter 195


    Many guests came, all of whom were from the Eight Branches of the Wilson family. Jennifer and


    Reina were the ones who had the best achievements so far.


    However, Reina did not attend because she had little regard for family.


    Linda, the host of the event, Linda had put on an expensive gown and heavy makeup. She felt


    rather proud of herself. Kevin got himself dressed up as well, resembling a dignified and confident


    man.


    His girlfriend, Skr, basically ignored Jennifer. She did not mention anything about that day.


    She stood by Kevin, behaving like a submissive and domesticated little bird.


    Around a hundred people sat around nine tables. Each table came with a fancy meal set that cost


    above five thousand. These were all arranged by Linda.


    Although Jennifer had little cash flow, she still gave her parents about thirty thousand a month as


    allowance to show her love for them.


    The members of the Wilson family were all very excited at the gathering. They had an idea of what


    a mega project worth two billion signified.


    First of all, it would mean the development ofmercial housing, and maybe even mansions.


    Secondly, setting up a logistics distribution center could be anticipated.


    Thirdly, there would be subways, state roads, highways, piers, among others!


    “Granduncle Christian, you made it!” Jennifer cheerfully greeted an elderly man in his seventies as


    he walked into Wearing a navy suit, he was practically beaming with pride. He nced at Jennifer


    and nodded. “It''s you, Jenny! You''ve done well. You''re certainly catching up with our very own


    Samuel.”


    Jennifer gave an awkward chuckle.

    “I''m doing all right...”


    Who is Samuel?


    Samuel Lewis was Christian Wilson''s son-inw. He had several construction teams, specializing in


    home renovation. He had recently been subcontracted a home renovation job for five hundred


    houses in Sapphire Residences, estimated to bring in a profit of fifteen million.


    Samuel, who stood behind Christian, pushed his sses up and said, “I''m doing all right. I''m


    keeping close contact with Mr. Wace at the moment. He''s given me a business contract for the


    renovation of five hundred houses. Oh, right. You probably don''t know who Mr. Wace is. I''m


    talking about Daniel Wace, who is very favorable to Mr. Zayne Yates.”


    “Well, congrattions!” Jennifer said with a generous smile.


    She was wearing a long, beige coat paired with a figure-hugging ck dress, showing her slim


    waist andrge chest.


    Samuel could not help but take a few extra nces.


    “Granduncle Christian, please have a seat,” Jennifer said politely.


    Humph’.


    Christian snorted as he took his seat. He gave Jennifer a grim look and said, “Jenny, it''s not my


    intention to discourage you, but you''re a youngdy... How could you handle a project worth two


    billion? Our Samuel is doing well. He already has several construction teams. You should let him


    handle half of the project.”


    His stern statement left no room for negotiation.


    Jennifer was taken aback.


    He''s trying to take away half of my business!


    Jennifer remainedposed and smiled gently. “Granduncle Christian, it''s not that I''m not willing,


    but everything has already been nned out. Currently, nothing needs outsourcing. In fact, what we


    need is start-up capital...”


    “That''s illegal fundraising.” Samuel said nonchntly.


    Jennifer was stunned again. Does he have to be so direct ?


    Christian went on, “Our Samuel is a sessful man. It would be best if you give him the job. He has


    a worth of over thirty million. He can definitelyplete the project.”


    Jennifer''s expression turned cold. “I''m not here to talk about this today. I''m here to talk about


    fundraising. An annual rate of fifteen percent is what I would like to offer. With every ten thousand


    invested, you will get a dividend of one thousand and five hundred a year.”


    “How much are you nning to fundraise?” asked Samuel.


    “Two hundred million,” replied Jennifer.


    For two hundred million, their yearly interest would be thirty million, which was a considerably


    lucrative return.


    Before Samuel could say anything, his wife, Lily Wilson, spoke. “Bring your bidding documents to


    my bank for a mortgage.”
