Seeing this person, Ellis was stunned, âDirector Porter? What brings you here?â
He was none other than the head of the New Energy Development Department at Olsen Group!
Director Porter seemed to have just noticed him, stared in surprise for a moment, and then exclaimed,
âMr. Ellis, are you here also to compete for this project? Thatâs fantastic!â
Ellis was dumbfounded.
Brian scoffed. âMr. Ellis looks down on our project, saying weâre deceiving people.â
Director Porter immediately became anxious. âBrian, is the project research outcome you just told me
about on the phone fake?â
Brian said, âHow could that be possible!â
âThen how could it be a deception?â
Director Porter was puzzled.
Brian handed over the project proposal to him.

âBecause Mr. Ellis said, thereâs no project worth several hundred million!â
Director Porter was shocked.
He instantly opened the project proposal and after a few glances, he immediately looked toward Ellis.
âQuick, Mr. Ellis, sign the contract!â
This was Davis Corporationâs territory â what if they didnât secure the contract, and it got snatched
away?!
Ellis was utterly confused.
Staring at the contract, he was flabbergasted!
Even Kenâs expression changed as he looked towards Brian.
Brian immediately explained, âDirector Davis, do you think I would deceive you? Porter and I have
always been in competition; surely Porter wouldnât be deceiving you either, right? But Mr. Wayne just
said that they would no longer cooperate with Keera Technology in the future, so for this project, we
can only collaborate with Olsen Group now!â
After saying this, he felt incredibly satisfied, releasing a long-held resentment with relief.

To be honest, working in such a large corporation,
with so many relatives in the company weighing down on him, he had long felt frustrated.
Now, seeing the expressions on Wayne and Kenâs faces, he felt indescribably thrilled!
Ken furrowed his brows.
Ellis then voiced what he was feeling inside. âIs this project really that important?â
Director Porter immediately said, âMr. Ellis, let me put it this way. Everyone is working on new energy.
In the future, who makes money will depend on whose technology is in the leading position. I can say
that, among the things currently circulating in the market, this project is definitely the most advanced in
technology. At present, apart from Dr. Southâs company, thereâs no other company in the country that
can develop it!â
He leaned in close to Ellis and spoke in a lowered voice. âMr. Ellis, I see Keera Technology is just a
small company, why not spend a few billion to acquire them? This way, the technology will be ours!â
Ellis was shocked.

He coughed slightly and exchanged glances with Ken.
The next momentâ¦
Ellis and Ken simultaneously said to Keira,
âI offer three billion to acquire your company!â
âI offer two billion to acquire your company!â
Ken, offering one billion less, quickly added, âI can also offer three billion!â
There were rules in the industry.
That was, malicious bidding wasnât possible, so Ken and Ellis wouldnât engage in malicious competition
here. The price offered was the same, so what came next was to see each oneâs sincerity.
Brian watched the two of them, his eyes smiling as h looked at Keira, âMiss South, who do you want to
sell
to?â
Ken smiled. âKeera Technology, right? I know youâre Maryâs good friend. Although we had some
unpleasantness in our cooperation, just now, Iâve withdrawn your familyâs lawsuit, hasnât he?â
The implication was, Ken had given her a break!

Ellis became anxious, saying, âThat was only because of what I said, otherwise, how would you know
about this today? Uncle Davis, please donât compete with me on this project!â
Ken still smiled warmly. âMy dear Ellis, itâs not that I want to compete with you, but from their recent
conversation, it seems that Miss South was originally planning to work with us on this project, right?â
Keira heard this and glanced at Wayne, whose face had already turned dark, with a smile. âThatâs right,
but Mr. Wayne rejected it! He even said that he would never work with our company again in the
future.â
Upon hearing this, Ken glared at Wayne. âHis words donât count; I have the final say, and besides, itâs
all a misunderstanding.â
After finishing his statement, he turned to Brian.
âBrian, youâve been with the company for over twenty years, and the company has treated you well,
right? Now that youâve found a new job, you canât forget your old employer, can you? Youâre familiar
with Davis Corporation, and now that weâve acquired it, wonât it be even more convenient to work
together in the
future?â

Brian just smiled. âDirector Davis, this matter still depends on Miss South. Actually, I donât mind
cooperating with anyone; Iâm quite familiar with Porter
tooâ¦â
âRight, right, rightâ¦
Director Porter nodded repeatedly while nudging Ellis.
He didnât have the guts to argue with Ken over the project.
Ellis then twitched the corner of his mouth.
He came today originally to laugh at Keera and Mary, so how did it suddenly turn into him having to
coax Keera to snatch the project?
How quickly his status had changed!
He coughed, and considering how he had always himself above Mary and Keera, he found it quite h to
admit his new position.
He could only cough again and say, âWell, Keera, you have some connections with my uncle⦠Letâs be
partners, and the price is negotiable!â
âThe price on my side is also negotiable!â Both Ken and Ellis knew they couldnât compete in price but
needed

to make a statement.
If three billion wasnât enough, they could add more
money!
Ellis coughed again, ready to speak, when Ken looked towards Mary,â Mary, Miss South is your best
friend; you should come and help persuade her!â
Mary was perplexed.
Who was going to tell her what had happened?
Just a moment ago, she was still immersed in the joy that Keera finally didnât have to repay the
massive debt and worried about being pressured and lured by Wayneâs threats when returning to the
company. How suddenly, the eldest uncle from the first branch of the family had become so pleasant
toward her?
She felt a bit overwhelmed by the sudden favor, âU
Ken, Iâ¦â
Keira slowly began. âActually, if Mary were to be in charge of this project, it wouldnât be impossibleâ¦â
Understanding dawned on Ken, and he immediately said, âOf course, Mary will take charge. You two
are good friends; itâll be easier that wayâ¦â

His tone was quite affectionate nowâ¦
Keira then looked at Director Brian. âBut Director Brian, youâve resigned. The person coming to
coordinate this project should at least be a director, right?â
Ken instantly burst out laughing. âWell, Mary, Director Brian has resigned, and since youâve also been
with the company for two years now, you should be promoted to that position!â
Wayneâs expression changed.
Mary was so young, but she had become a director, and from now on, he could never press down on
Maryâs family again!
Keira was pleased with this. Then Director Da shall we beginâ¦â
Just as the negotiation was about to succeed, D Porter from Olsen Group was becoming frantic,
nudging Ellis urgently.
Ellis came to his senses and immediately shouted,
The others all turned to look at him.
â
Ken said with a smile, âDear Ellis, why not? We already have a partnership with Keera Technology, and
Mary and Keera have this relationship between them; weâre closely related!â
Ellis immediately retorted. âKeera, my uncle and you also have a close friendship as wellâ¦â
âWhat friendship can compare with a bestie from childhood?â
Ken laughed triumphantly. âRight, Keera?â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She pulled a face, exchanging glances with Mary, and could see the joy in Maryâs eyes.
Seeing this, Ellis became anxious, and for the sake of the project, he blurted out, âKeera and our family
ha an even closer relationship! Sheâs my cousin!â
