Chapter 1138:

“You’re not interested in negotiating with Trenton?” Benjamin inquired, puzzled. “What about the project then?”

Eileen explained, “It’s important to meet and become acquainted with the leader of the Deleon Group. However, any delay in the project would be costly.”

Eileen lifted her eyebrows and replied, “You’ll understand once we get to the party.”

After a pause, Eileen added, “Get an electronic copy of the Flukord project’s detailed plan and have the contract ready for me. You handle the smaller projects; I’ll manage this one.” Within minutes, Benjamin had someone deliver what Eileen requested.

Eileen powered up her computer and called Harlan. Despite the years that had passed, Harlan’s phone number remained the same. Although Harlan and Eileen had not spoken in a long while, Harlan’s voice was warm and welcoming on the phone.

“Eileen?” Harlan’s voice rang out, sounding happy and surprised.

“Mr. Clarkson, it’s been a while,” Eileen responded, quickly moving to business after brief pleasantries. “You’ve been involved in jewelry, and I’m interested in discussing a potential collaboration with you.”

At this, Harlan sighed and replied, “You only seem to call for business reasons. Aaron has thought about calling you several times but worried you’d be too busy. He always hoped you’d reach out first. But you…”

When Aaron was brought up, Eileen felt a twinge of guilt. “Is he about to take his college entrance exams?”

“He has already finished his exams. He has started,” Harlan replied.

Explore fresh updates gⱯlnσν𝓮ℓs․com Eileen suggested, “How about I invite him to dinner sometime soon?”

“That sounds good. As for the collaboration you mentioned, I’m in as long as we won’t lose money,” Harlan said without hesitation. Success in business required not only intellect but also strong connections.

The Deleon Group was a formidable force, its aggressive stance not to be underestimated. Eileen’s main weapon against them was her extensive network of connections.

After her call with Harlan, Eileen researched Trenton’s recent business ventures online. Three years ago, Trenton had partnered with the Meyer Group, a move that had significantly boosted his influence and made him a suitable collaborator for the Ferguson Group.

Eileen pulled out her phone and dialed Phoebe. “Ask your Jacob to do me a favor. There’s a man named Trenton Quimby working with the Meyer Group. I need the Meyer Group to stop working with him.”

“What?” Phoebe was shocked by the abrupt request. “What’s going on? What happened this time?”

Eileen briefly explained the situation and then added, “After Jacob removes the Quimby family from the collaboration, I’ll recommend someone to fill the vacancy. From this point forward, avoid any collaboration with Trenton.”

“Okay, I’ll tell Jacob that.” Phoebe, not well-versed in business matters and unclear about the specifics of the project, supported Eileen without question.

After ending the call, Phoebe immediately contacted Jacob.
