Duncan was a man of action.
After finalizing the collaboration with Alexander, he quickly set up a team.
It was located at the Maple Hotel, close to the Parks Group.
Alexander also came over every day to participate in the work.
He brought the latest data on his and Julian Parksâ clothing performances.
Duncan had arranged an office for him.
there.
Alexander transferred his executive assistant over as well.
His executive assistant worked there longer than him every day.
On the third day.
Alexanderâs executive assistant suggested that the two parties hold a meeting.
There were only 27 days left, so everyone should come together to discuss their next plan.
Duncan was very interested in the meeting.
Hence, both parties held a brief four-person meeting.
Duncan and Alexander each brought their executive assistants.
Alexanderâs executive assistant proposed that, since the East Arising International Group was Julianâs industry, in order to prevent Julian from taking advantage of the East Arising International Groupâs final performance to win the Parks Group, they need to know about the East Arising International Group now.
How much of the apparel market did the East Arising International Group occupy? How much performance could it help Julian achieve? How far would they have to go to crush Julian and take over the Parks Group? âArno, youâre good!â Duncan praised him generously.
Needless to say, Alexander was quite good at hiring people.
His assistant was capable and could always get to the point in the shortest time.
âThank you for your praise, Mr. Smith!â Arno said humbly.
âWell, letâs have a meeting,â said Duncan.
The four of them had a meeting.
Arno stated his point of view, which meant that they could use some particular methods to obtain the core data of the East Arising International Group and truly understand their enemy.
Duncanâs assistant smiled and said, âMr. Smith has thought of the problem.
Last night, our hacker team finally hacked into the East Arising International Groupâs internal network and obtained their market data.â âReally? Great!â Alexander was overjoyed.
Duncan did not miss the glint in Alexanderâs eyes.
He was satisfied.
He pouted at his assistant.
His assistant immediately pushed the laptop in front of Alexander and his assistant.
âExcellent!â said Alexander, pleasantly surprised by the data.
He gave Duncan a thumbs-up with a look of admiration.
âMr. Smith, youâre amazing! To tell you the truth, ever since I found out the East Arising International Group is Julianâs industry that day, Iâve asked my team to attack their firewall.
They fought for three days without success.â âThatâs why we need to consolidate our resources,â
Duncan said.
âYes, we do,â Alexander replied.
He lowered his head to look at the data on the laptop again.
As he read, he frowned slightly with a jealous expression and said, âIt is worthy of being an international company, which has such a large share of the apparel market.
To think that I was so confident in the past.
âAh, no wonder Julian looked down on me and looked determined to succeed.
No wonder he dared to grant Albertâs request for an extension again and again.
It turned out that he had a trump card like the East Arising International Group.
âFortunately, Mr. Smith is helping me.
Otherwise, I would have been crushed to death by him.â Duncan was all smiles.
âIt doesnât matter,â he said.
âNow that we know his background and have obtained their market share, we can beat him.â Alexander said with concern, âBut the share of the East Arising International Group is too great.
Can we win?â Duncanâs executive assistant was upset.
âMr. Parks, arenât you just thinking too highly of others and belittling yourself? What about the East Arising International Group? Itâs nothing in front of the Nevada Corporation.â Alexander didnât care that Duncanâs executive assistant was dissing him.
He praised, âYes.
Compared to the Nevada Corporation, the East Arising International Group is like a child facing a youth.
Their strength is not at the same level.â Duncan liked the description.
He curled his lips to smile.
Arno also stood beside Alexander.
He looked at the data and said excitedly, âWith such core data, we know what kind of performance we need to have to crush Julianâ¦â Speaking of crushing Julian, he looked worried again.
âThere are only 27 days left.
Itâs not easy for us to crush the East Arising International Group in terms of performance.
We have to deploy all our forces now.
Mr. Smith, Mr. Parksâs future depends on you.â Duncan pouted at his executive assistant again.
His executive assistant immediately told Arno, âFrom now on, Iâll fully take over your work, and you will make the performance requirements as soon as possible.
Your remaining unfinished performance will be done by our Nevada Corporation!â âGreat, itâs great.
Iâll make the proposal immediately,â Arno said excitedly.
Duncan said with a smile, âItâs time to eat.
Letâs go to eat.â Arno said, âYou go ahead, and Iâll not go to eat.
Iâm going to work on a proposal.â Then he went into the office to work on a proposal.
Three days had passed.
For the first time, Alexanderâs performance overtook Julianâs.
Julianâs assistant started to panic.
Julian let Henry continue to work on his performance.
When Annalise heard Julianâs call, she knew it was time to rush.
There were only 24 days left in the competition.
All the resources that needed to be used had to be used.
She thought for a moment and called Mina.
Minaâs call did not go through.
At night, Mina called her back.
Her tone was dull.
âAnnalise, did you miss me?â âYes, other than missing you, thereâs something else I need your help with,â Annalise said.
âAnnalise, just tell me what you want,â Mina said.
âI remember that your family makes clothes, doesnât it?â âYes, my family is a real clothing family.â âCan you help me achieve some performance?â âOf course!â Mina immediately agreed.
âDonât worry.
I wonât let you help me for free.
Youâll probably just make less money,â Annalise said.
âIâll help you even if I donât earn any money.
Annalise, your business is my business.â âThank you, Mina.â âHey, please donât stand on ceremony with me! Annalise, I have something to tell you.â âOkay.â âWhat do you think about Preston?â âHmm?
Which aspect are you referring to?â âWell, can he be my boyfriend?â âThere should be no problem with his character, but you have to like him.â âWell, forget it.
Annalise, send me the clothing contract, and Iâll arrange it for you immediately.â Annalise suddenly thought of something and asked, âHave you been hiding from Preston instead of taking the exam?â ââ¦
Mm,â Mina replied.
âWhatâs⦠the matter with you?â Annalise was surprised.
If there was nothing, she didnât have to hide, did she? âNothingâs going on, and itâs just awkward.
Forget it.
Annalise, send me the contract, and Iâll do it first.â âActually, if you are interested in him, you can interact with him first.
You donât have to get married.
You can try to know him.â Annalise said.
âAnnalise, if there are two men, one you like and the other your parents think is right for you, who will you choose?â Mina suddenly asked.
