The Secret Heir's Return to Wealth and Love novel Chapter 2191

"Happy New Year, Ms. Tesdal!" Jacob Strand breezed into the office with the vitality of the New Year's first fireworks.

"You're a bit early, Jacob. We've still got a couple of days to go," she replied with a playful smirk.

Over the past few months, Jacob had become a whirlwind of success in the H Country business scene. Not only had he revitalized Strand Group's fortunes, but he had also completely shaken off the company's stale image in the wake of a crisis.

Moreover, his social connections, once reserved for casual dinners and drinks, had been leveraged to full effect. He recruited top talents from around the globe, securing them with five-year contracts that were the envy of many, including Sean.b2

"Well, when else would I get a chance to see you, if not during the holiday rush?" Jacob said, placing an orange bag emblazoned with the iconic Hermes carriage logo on Rosalynn's desk. "A little gift for you."

Rosalynn glanced at the logo and quipped, "Get to the point, President Strand."

"Always straight to business, Secretary Tesdal, I like that!" Jacob said as he settled into a chair. It was as if the life-and-death struggles of the past months hadn't touched him; he had effortlessly returned to his former dashing self, a true playboy of the capital.

"I hear you've got young Jaime Jules and the Scott family working on chip development?"

"That's right, Jacob. What's on your mind?" Rosalynn leaned back in her chair, her curiosity piqued.

Jacob grinned, a fox in businessman's clothing. "I'm quite interested in that field myself. Let's talk about a partnership, shall we?"

"What kind of partnership are you proposing?" Rosalynn inquired.

"I won't meddle in the development side; that's a bit too technical for me. But once your chips are ready, I'd like Strand Group to have an exclusive partnership with you." He slid a business proposal across the desk to her. "You're planning on entering the smartphone and communications market?"

"To be precise, the entire smart device ecosystem." His smile was as sly as ever. "What I'm envisioning is beyond anything currently on the market, so I'll need the finest chips you can muster. How about it, Ms. Tesdal? Are you interested in pioneering a new era of smart technology with me?"
