Chapter 250 I decided to go. Maybe I could use this chance to learn more from Bree about the truth behind my parents car accident.

After convincing myself, I checked the time. I still had three hours before I was supposed to meet Bree, so I headed to the office.

"Good morning, Ms. Crown. Xander greetedwith a bright smile as if just seeingwas enough to brighten his day.

"Good morning, Mr. Roulder." "You're looking great today, Ms. Crown. Got a new boyfriend?" Xander asked with a familiarity that suggested we were closer than we actually were.

A brief flash of last night's sweet moments with Brandon crossed my mind. I forced a smile and replied," Mr. Roulder, you did mention that the weather was nice today." Since I wasn't close to him, I certainly wasn't going to share my personal life. He chuckled, and I went straight into my office. It was Monday, which meant the department had a routine meeting. During the meeting, everyone reported on their performance. One of them, Harold Corbyn, handeda contract.

"Ms. Crown, this is a new lighting supplier I just negotiated with. They're a startup, and they need our technical guidance. Please review the contract details.

I took a look at the contract. "Established less than a month ago?" "Yes. They're very new." Harold seemed a bit nervous.

The risk of working with a new company was five to ten times higher than partnering with a company that had been around for at least three years due to many uncertainties.

Perhaps worried I would decline, Harold quickly added, "Don't worry, Ms. Crown. I've negotiated the service fee terms with them. They've agreed to pay a 50% deposit upfront, another 25% halfway through, and the remaining balance upon completion." I smiled faintly. "It sounds like they're really eager to work with us." "Yes, exactly! They're very sincere. I'd feel bad turning them down." Harold laughed.

The others joined in the laughter and teased him. "What's their idea of sincerity? Did they send gifts or beautiful girls?" "No, no! I wouldn't dare break company rules like that. They just genuinely want to work with us, they're drawn by our company's reputation and expertise," Harold continued his pitch.

I nodded and replied, "I can see their sincerity." and Even though I only said that one line, the others immediately turned to Harold and said, "Well, Harold, if you land this deal, you owe us a meal." Harold was clever. He quickly deflected the responsibility back toand said, "That depends on whether Ms. Crown givesthis chance." After all, the contract needed my approval and Xander's signature before it could be finalized.

I knew that the company didn't need clients desperately. Hence, there was no need to get overly excited about every opportunity. This was likely why Chris's previous attempt at a partnership was rejected Chapoli 250 outright by the boss.

Speaking of the boss, I was curious about him but currently had no clues.

Facing Harold's hopeful expression, I didn't immediately make a decision. Instead, I said, "Please providewith the company's information, and I'll review it before making a decision." Harold gavean "okay" hand gesture, and we concluded the meeting.

The company's background was straightforward. The head had worked as a technician elsewhere for several years, and it was a partnership based on the number of shareholders.

Such companies had pros and cons. The advantage was that no single person's issues would drastically impact the company's overall development. The disadvantage was that too many decision-makers could complicate matters. After careful consideration, I decided that the collaboration seemed viable, so I went to see Xander.

Xander was the boss of the company. Moreover, it was clear that the company wasn't pursuing aggressive growth, but rather m focusing on stability and quality based on the previous performance. The approach to client selection was thus one of quality over quantity. His office door was open. Seeing that he was on the phone, I decided to cback later. But upon seeing me, he gestured forto cin.

"Yes.

What we need right now is a top-tier lighting technician, someone with bm exceptional technical skills The salary isn't an issue. If he's willing to come, I'd even give up my position if necessary. Alright. I'll wait for your good
