Fatso wielded the steel pipe and charged at Adina.
Daniel had no idea what he was about to do, so he rushed forward and shielded Adina. Fatso could care less about them. He pushed Daniel to the side. Daniel was only in his early twenties. He was a skinny young man. When Fatso pushed him, Daniel almost fell to the ground. Adina looked stony. She grabbed Fatso by the wrist and slammed him over her shoulder. Fatso crashed onto the ground.
Fatso was the head of the workers. When he was defeated, the rest of his workers surrounded Adina and her group. Adina snorted. âWhy? Do you want to stay a few days behind the bars?â
The workers were just laymen. They had their own families. If they were sent to jail, they would lose a lot of their wages. They retreated. âYouâve worked for half of the day for today. You can get your wages from Jones Corporation. Donât even think about finishing the rest.â Adina said coolly, âIf any of you are free this afternoon, help me to remove all the guard rails, and Iâll pay you according to the wages you receive.â
The workers were over the moon. The installation of the guard rails was timeâconsuming. Meanwhile, removing them was a much easier job. They could remove the guard rails in less than an hour. Adina finished settling the group of workers in a few simple words. Even Fatso was rendered speechless. He arranged his men to do the work obediently according to Adinaâs order.
âAdina, youâre awesome!â Daniel was dumbfounded. âIâm surprised to find that youâre skilled in martial arts.â
âI only know a bit. Thereâs nothing surprising.â Adina took out some documents from her bag. âThis is my new proposal for the resort project. Take a look at it and see if thereâs any amendments needed. If not, pass it to the company and the Ministry of Housing and Construction to apply for a permit today.
Weâll start the construction tomorrow.â
Daniel flipped through the documents. Graham and Mr. Wilson also looked at it. After they read a few pages, the trioâs eyes lit up, and they looked impressed.
âMs. Daugherty, if the resort is transformed according to your proposal, it is comparable to the worldâs famous islands. Its profitability and influence from every aspect will exceed the petrochemical project,â
said Mr. Wilson excitedly.
Graham frowned. âBut the investment amount is massive, especially the aquatic activities. Weâll need at least $10,000,000,000 for them.â âThe finance department is under Zhennyâs control. None of them will approve such a massive investment,â Daniel said, pursing his lips. âThe proposal is perfect. If we can truly implement the proposal, it will become Jones Corporationâs most profitable project in the future. Unfortunatelyâ¦â Adina smirked. âIf Jones Corporation refuses to invest in this project, weâll find investors outside the company. Itâs not a big deal.â
Adina planned to invest several billions in this project. After all, the CEO of Winters Corporation had personally prepared the proposal, and she would keep a close watch on this project, so the project was a sureâfire deal.
âMs. Daugherty, let me handle the investment for this project. I am acquainted with some of the investors, and I believe I can get at least $5,000,000,000 from them,â Graham volunteered.
Adina nodded. âMr. Tissot will tentatively handle the investment issue. Mr. Wilson, you will oversee the site project. This is my temporary plan. Iâll recruit more workers and implement a twoâshift system. With that, we can speed up the progress of the project.â
Adina turned to Daniel. âYouâre given a very important task. You will be in charge of contacting the heads of various departments in Jones Corporation and convincing them to cooperate with us as our project progressesâ¦â
Adina suddenly went quiet. She felt dizzy.
âAdina, are you alright?â Daniel looked up at her. Adinaâs eyes rolled back in her head, and she fell on the ground, unconscious.
Adina was taken to the hospital. She laid on the bed, her eyes closed. She looked pale.
