When Rachel saw the caller ID, she knitted her brows together and looked outside of her bedroom subconsciously. The message was from Ryan.
“Is President Sutton asking me out for dinner? Did he send the text to the wrong person?” She considered herself a stranger to Ryan since she didn’t have any interactions with him. Having his contact number was solely because of Jolly, and she hadn’t contacted him before since she just added him out of courtesy.
However, Ryan called her on the phone right away. After a moment of hesitation, Rachel picked up the call. “Hello?”
“Don’t get me wrong. There’s a dinner gathering with the Riverdale Chamber of Commerce tomorrow night. There will be more than ten people attending. It’s a chance for us to exchange our resources, so it’ll be mutually beneficial for everyone.”
“I don’t think there are any business dealings between Hudson Pharmaceuticals and your company, President Sutton.” “That’s just for now. Who knows if there will be one in the future?”
“If you’re trying to approach Jolly through me, I’m afraid that this will not work. You can’t force someone into a relationship, and I won’t provide Jolly with any advice when she’s choosing her other half.”
“I think I know Jolly’s personality better than you, President Hudson.” Ryan’s tone remained indifferent. “If she knows that I’m buying the people around her so that I can approach her, I think she’ll hate me even more.”
“Why try if you know?” “It doesn’t matter whether you believe me or not. I’m just pulling strings for the Chamber of Commerce gathering. It just so happens that a close partner of mine is asking for my help to find a reliable supplier for medical supplies and devices in Riverdale. .
I just think that Hudson Pharmaceuticals would be a suitable candidate, both professionally and personally. I heard that Hudson Pharmaceuticals has lost a few big clients and is probably having a liquidity constraint, am I right?”
When she heard that, Rachel frowned a little. “Thank you for your concern, President Sutton. However, I’m not sure where you heard such a rumor since Hudson Pharmaceuticals is doing fine.”
“Well, just take this as me putting a cherry on the cake for Hudson Pharmaceuticals. As for the gathering tomorrow, you can decide for yourself whether you want to be there or not. I’ve sent you the address.”
“Thank you, President Sutton.” After hanging up the phone, Rachel held her phone in her hand and sat at the side of the bed.
In truth, Hudson Pharmaceuticals was experiencing a liquidity constraint. The news about Jefferey’s imprisonment for smuggling goods had caused Hudson Pharmaceuticals to be the key inspection target of the Commerce Bureau. Even when the partners were clean, no one would want to be marked all day. This caused a decrease in the number of collaborations Hudson Pharmaceuticals had.
If what Ryan said was legitimate, this could be good news for the company. However, when Rachel recalled the hatred Jolly had for him, she frowned and gave up on this idea. The next afternoon, Rachel and Jolly were having lunch in the office.
Just then, Rachel’s assistant rushed into the room with several documents in her arms. “President Hudson, Miss Carter.” Rachel raised her head. “Didn’t I ask you to rest? What’s making you so flustered?”
This new assistant of hers was really active. He wouldn’t rest during break time and always continued working after having two pieces of bread. Even Rachel, who was the president, couldn’t compare herself to him..
The assistant said, “It’s good news. There’s a medical device company in Shans, and their president will be here in Riverdale for two days. Their branding is really good, but there’s a technical deficiency in their production since they lack professionals in R&D technology. If we can invite them to collaborate with us, we’ll have a continuation in the capital chain.”
“Why didn’t you mention such good news earlier? Which company is it?” Jolly put down her utensils immediately. “Quick, spit it. If this works out, you’ll play a huge part in it.” Then, the assistant replied, “It’s Star Medical.”
