Chapter 89 All Set
"Five construction material suppliers had entered the second round of evaluation. As soon as thisWhen the news came out, the representatives in attendance became increasingly anxious.
""Now, I will announce the names of the five suppliers and their representatives who made it to the second round of evaluation now."" The person in charge of organizing the construction material supply fair cleared their his throat before continuing. As each company name and representative were announced, joyous cheers erupted from the crowd. With each announcement, Michelle grew more and more nervous.
""The last spot goes to...""
EWhen these words were spoken, everyone became tense. This was the last spot; how could they not beof course they were nervous.? A moment of palpable silence descended upon the entire reception room, which was more terrifying than any noise.
Michelle's aunt and cousin were especially anxious, their heartbeats accelerating; beads of sweat forming on their foreheads. They had invested a lot of energy in this event over the past few days, and had even spent a significant amount of money to establish connections. If they couldn't even make it past the first round, it would be a great embarrassment.
TIn particular, they had boasted in front ofto Katharine about how amazing their daughter's boyfriend was, only toand if they ended up failing to make it through, it would . Wouldn't that be a slap in their faces?
At this point, Katharine no longer held any hope for the last spot. She couldn't compete with the other prominent figures in New York in terms of strength, and her connections were inferior even to even her two sisters'. What more could she expect?
However, she still wanted to see who would get the last spot. IEven if she couldn't make it, she didn't want her eldest sister and third sister to make it either. If none of them were selected, no one would become the chairman, and thatwhich would bring her some comfort.
And she was would be able to cleverly separate Michelle and William, without losing out.
Only Michelle was the most nervous at this moment, her face was a little pale, and her heart was beating faster than ever before. William's hand was hurt from being grabbedher grip.
""MichelleY, you don't have to be so nervous, Michelle,"" William tried to comfort her, but it was useless.
Soon, the person in charge continued to announce.
""The last spot goes to James Construction Materials Co., Ltd., represented by...""
Before he could finish histhe sentence was finished, Michelle's mom, aunt, and cousin all felt a sudden tightness in their hearts. The first half of the sentence clearly indicated that the last spot would go to one of the three sisters.
‘""It's over. They're going to take the chairman's position this time,"’" Katharine was unwilling to admit defeat. It didn't matter that she didn't have the ability. I, in her heart, she still hoped that none of the three sisters would be selected. But if one of them was selected, she would find it hard to accept.
Michelle's aunts listened more attentively. In their view,They thought that this last spot must would be given to one of them.
They couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts, thankful thatly their daughter had found a wealthy and influential boyfriend.
However, the result was beyond their expectations.
""The representative for the last spot is Katharine,"" when the person in charge announced the name of the last representative, Michelle's aunt showed awas shocked expression.
""What? How is this possible??"" Molly looked shocked. Her daughter's boyfriend's uncle was in charge of this investment conference, but . How could she notdidn’t even make it past the first round.??
Hannah, the eldest sister, was even more shocked and speechless, her eyes blank.
""How is this possible? This must be a mistake! My sister has no connections at all, how wascould she be selected?""
Katharine herself was also shocked and, even unable to believe it. ""Are they referring totalking about me with the last spot?""
""Yes,"" William nodded lightly.
And the happiest one among them was Michelle.
""MomT, the last spot is yours, Mom.,"" Sshe was now excited and shook, shaking William's hand continuously.
""It'sI feel like I'm dreaming,"" Katharine truly really didn't expect that she would be take the last spot. She was well aware of her abilities and had no insiders speaking for her. No matter what, it was seemed impossible for her to be the last spot in the first round, but the fact was that she made it to the second round of review.
""Those who have been selected as the five representatives can , please stay. The , others can go back,!"" the person in charge announced loudly.
TAs soon as the words fell, the other unsuccessful participants left dejectedly.
Michelle's aunts hadn't recovered from their shock yet. The last spot was had been awarded to Katharine. They hadn’t expected that, and t, whom they least expected. They couldn't believe it.
Katharine couldn't believe it. Seeing When she saw her older sister and younger sister preparing to pack up and leave, she felt a sense of satisfaction and approached them with a hint of arrogance.
"Y"Sisters, are you’re leaving already? By the way, didn't your daughter's boyfriend already manage to secure some internal connections? How come neitherWhy didn’t either of you makde it past the first round?""
Katharine was feeling pleased at this moment. Those who had mocked her before were now the ones without internal connections, while she, who had limited connections, had made it to the first round.
Hannah and Molly felt embarrassed. ""We're leaving! Don't get too cocky. It's impossible forThere’s no way you canto secure thatis order.""
Hannah and Molly wanted to retort, but they couldn't. Deep down, they blamed their daughter's boyfriend. Wasn't he supposed to have connections on the inside? Now heThey couldn't even make it past the first round. What a bunch of talkative fools.
As Katharine watched the two sisters leave, she felt a sense of relief. But when she calmed down and thought about it, she realized something was not right.
"‘"Could it really be William's friend who really have helped?’ ?"" Katharine couldn't believedidn’t think that her luck or that her materials were so impressive. You couldn’t enter Such a high-level investment conferences for construction materials could never be enteredlike this solely based on power and luck.
After thinking it through, she found it unlikely. ‘""A guy from a poor neighborhood like him wouldn't possibly know any higher-level insiders, right? He probably just knows some At most, he would know ordinary employees inside,’"" Katharine speculated, feeling restless.
Michelle grabbed William's hand, full of excitement. ""William, get your friend to help us for the next round, let your friend help too! After it's over, we'll treat him to a meal!"" Michelle attributed the credit for smoothly entering the first round to the friend William had found.
""No need, she's not here,"" William didn't want them to know that the person he had found was the female CEO of RQQ Group, the parent company of Ron Real Estate.
If he told them the truth, they would probably be frightened."
