Chapter 382

“What did you say?”

Lucy, on the other side of the line, immediately got up.

“Mother, I’m reinstated. I have been reinstated to my old position!

“My boss also said they’ll consider me for a promotion depending on my performance…”

Jeremy took a deep breath. He even walked a little unsteadily.

He felt nothing when he was in that position.

However, he realized how precious that job position was after guarding the gates for days!

“This… this must have something to do with Sean…”

Lucy sat down slowly and murmured to herself.

“No, Sean’s 100 percent related to this.

“Otherwise, there’s no such coincidence.”

Hayden never said anything about giving Jeremy his job back.

However, after Sean relented yesterday, he was reinstated today.

Jeremy was not an idiot, or he would not be in this position. 1 Therefore, he could figure out the key.

“Sean, who… who is he?”

Lucy was completely stunned, unable to keep calm.

“Never mind who he is, Mom.

“All you need to know is that Sean is very important.

“Our family must stay on good terms with Aunt Fion’s family!”

Jeremy spoke sternly as he walked.

Lucy nodded. Then she frowned and asked, “You just said that you would be considered for promotion depending on your performance…

“What performance?”

As soon as Lucy said that, it gave Jeremy a wake–up call.

–Jeremy froze for two seconds before reaching out and slapping his thigh.

“Mother, this must be a hint!

“As for how I would perform, it must be how I treat Brother Sean!

“Mom, let’s go to Brother Sean’s place tonight and thank him.”

Jeremy had been living long enough to know what to do.

Sean had helped him get reinstated.

He would be a fool not to seize this opportunity and thank him.

2 pm.

River City Zimmer Corporation’s headquarters.

Quill’s father, Jon, sat behind his desk, looking at a report.

A young man in a stiff suit was talking respectfully about something in front of him.

“Sir, twelve companies are bidding for the land we’re bidding for this time.

“The list is in the report. have a look.”

Jon nodded gently and flipped through the report before him as he lit up his expensive cigar.

“They’re old acquaintances.”

Jon slowly puffed out smoke in a nonchalant tone.

With the Zimmer family’s current financial resources, the companies on the list were no match for them.

Therefore, he did not care.

“Yes, sir. These companies have lost to us many times.”

The young man also smiled slightly with a trace of pride on the corners of his mouth.

Jon nodded slightly and was about to close the report when he frowned and looked at the end of the list.

“This… Reach For Will?

“I do know a saying: reach for the stars. What does reach for will mean?

“What does the company do?”

Jon’s brow furrowed slightly.

He had never heard of this company. It must be new.

“Sir, did you say Reach For Will Group? What a flashy name for a small company. They even called themselves a group.

“I had someone look into it. They only registered in the last few days. They’re nothing.”

The young man in a suit was still nonchalant.

“They just registered?”

Jon’s brow was still furrowed.

“There are only a few wealthy people in River City’s high society.

“Why haven’t I heard of anyone starting such a company?

“Is it a foreign company that wants a piece of River City?”

Jon took a puff from his cigar. His intuition from struggling in the business world for years made him feel that Reach For Will Group was no ordinary company.

“The first thing a newly registered small company has to do is ensure its survival.

“But instead of playing it safe, they went against the trend and bid against big companies?

“This bidding price floor is at least ten million, isn’t it?

“How much did they offer? Could a small company pay up ten million dollars easily?” Listening to Jon’s analysis, the young man in a suit also froze a little.

“Hold on. I’ll check.”

Jon thought for a moment and began to look it up on his computer with a cigar in his mouth. “Reach For Will Industrial Group, company legal person, Harry Clarke… I’ve never heard of him.

“Yo, they’re involved in a wide range of industries. International trade? How ridiculous…

“Registered capital…

“Hsss!”

When Jon read this, he suddenly gasped, and his cigar fell to the desk with a thud.

“What’s happened, Sir?”

The young man in a suit immediately came forward and picked up the cigar.

“Registered capital… 120 million dollars!”

Jon’s eyes widened with shock.

“What?”

The young man in a suit trembled, and the cigar fell onto the desk again.

“It’s true. 120 million dollars.

“Who are they?”

With eyes wide opened, Jon picked up his cigar with a trembling hand and took a deep puff.
