It was evening in Zimmer Villa.
The Zimmers gathered around again. A lot of them looked at each other helplessly.
A while back, they received the news. So they did not even have their meals when they rushed home for the meeting. At last, they heard that not only did the York Enterprise agree to invest in them, the York Enterprise even increased the amount of investment funds out of their own initiative.
They knew very well how the York Enterprise reacted the night before. Almost everyone heard that clearly. They assumed that the task was impossible, but it was accomplished by Mandy now. Why?
Mandy was the daughter of the third son in the Zimmers. She was usually not favored. Besides, her company had suffered a significant loss. The Zimmers would soon disown her.
However, it turned out that she got the contract now. What if she was being favored then? Would Mandy finally have her moment now?
Zack was the one who found it the hardest to believe what had happened. If Mandy was successful, it would mean that he was useless.
“Mandy, you drafted a contract casually and said that you’d signed a deal with the York Enterprise. You even claimed that you’d gained an amount of fifty million dollars as the investment funds directly. Who are you trying to fool here? I’m sure that you didn’t even manage to meet the CEO of York Enterprise. Am I right?” Zack said disdainfully.
“That’s right. I didn’t get to meet the CEO.”
Mandy had no intention to hide that. She indeed did not get to meet the CEO that afternoon. It was Yvonne who served her.
But after Mandy said that, everyone from the Zimmers looked at each other angrily. They had not even had their meals yet, but they were forced to go there and listen to Mandy’s nonsense.
“Mandy, you went too far! Your husband is a good-for-nothing who claimed that he’s the CEO. You learned from him, and you even made up a false contract and lied to us!”
“Do you think that we’re fools? How bold of you to take out a fake contract!”
“I think you’d better don’t go through with the divorce. Just pack up your luggage and get lost with your live-in husband!”
In that instant, every Zimmer was extremely wrathful. It was okay if Mandy failed to accomplish her task. But after making such a mess, what would happen to the Zimmers then?
What if the Zimmers were ruined then? Would they be unable to lead a luxurious and enjoyable life then?
An uproar was heard.
As soon as she said that, there was an uproar. Everyone started to discuss that.
“It turns out to be like this. So it meant that Mandy did nothing, and she got the contract signed directly.”
“Yes, that’s true. I thought that she was quite capable, but she was just lucky!”
Zack heaved a sigh of relief too. He then stood up and clapped his hands. He said, “Grandpa, I figure it out now. Their CEO scolded me, and he asked me to get lost yesterday. Maybe today, the CEO thought that he went too far by doing that. He was guilty toward us, so they agreed to give us the investment funds!”
“So it means that no matter who went there today, they’ll be able to get the contract. If I didn’t make that call last night, maybe it would not be possible!”
Zack’s underlying meaning was quite simple. It was his contribution. If he did not make that call, Mandy would not have succeeded even if she went there that day.
“Zack! Don’t go too far!” There was a trace of anger on Mandy’s beautiful face. ‘Zack was crossing the line. He forced me to go and negotiate a deal last night. Now that I’ve gained the contract, he steps forward immediately to snatch away my credits.’
