Chapter 567 I'm Not a Man
Ulysses exclaimed, "Cooperation? What do you mean?"
Stuart said, "I had someone look into it. Your friend's parents are good people. Since our company is looking for partners, and they are your friends and meet the criteria, I will definitely prioritize them."
Ulysses was pleased, "That's great! Uncle Stuart, I told you, don't break your rules because of me."
Stuart replied, "Ulysses, you have to remember, business can be done with anyone. Essentially, doing business is about making money."
"Uncle Stuart, you can't do anything just for the sake of making money, right?"
Stuart laughed, "Of course not. The education we've received since childhood, our morals, our humanity, our values, and our responsibilities, duties, and love for our country... all these things influence how we make money. You'll understand these things in the future."
"I understand, Uncle Stuart. With great power comes great responsibility."
"Right, you can share this good news with your friend."
"I... I don't want to tell her," Ulysses quickly said, "Uncle Stuart, when you cooperate with their family, don't mention me."
"Do you want to do a good deed without leaving a name?" Stuart laughed, "Are you afraid it will be awkward between you two later?"
Ulysses had to tell the truth, "She's a girl, and she's pursuing me. I don't like her, and I don't want her to misunderstand."
"She's pursuing you? You don't like her?" Stuart was surprised, "If you don't like her, why are you helping her?"
Ulysses said, "I just... I didn't think you would actually help her. I was just asking."
Stuart held back his laughter, "Alright, I understand. Even if she's pursuing you and you don't like her, you can still be ordinary friends. Bring your friends over to my house sometime, Josephine and I will always welcome you."
Ulysses said, "Okay, got it. Thanks, Uncle Stuart."
He thought he probably wouldn't bring his classmates home to play.
After all, in the eyes of his classmates, he was a good example of working part-time to support his studies, and his family conditions were average.
If he brought his classmates to the big villa at home, they might think he was working as a servant there.
Ulysses hung up and sent a message to Isadora before going to sleep, but there was still no reply from her.
But with the matter resolved, Ulysses felt much more at ease.
At this moment, Zander was holding his phone, full of disbelief.
Delphine saw his expression and felt nervous, "Honey, what's wrong? Is the situation getting worse?"
Zander didn't speak, his eyes were red.
Delphine looked at him, holding back her tears, "Don't be afraid, as long as the three of us are together, as long as I'm with you, I'll be happy even if we live a hard life."
"Honey!" Zander hugged her tightly and said excitedly, "We're saved! We're saved!"
Delphine was puzzled. "Zander, what's going on?"
"Saul just called me and said the Haustia Family... the Haustia Family, do you know them?"
Delphine usually didn't have contact with families like the Haustia Family.
She shook her head, "What Haustia Family?"
"It's the most powerful family in the upper class that Mrs. Ruth from your circle is trying hard to get into! They decided to invest in us and cooperate with us!"
Delphine was also stunned.
But she quickly came to her senses, "Could it be a scam? Why are they so kind?"
Zander said, "Saul had the same suspicion, but they said they would come to the company to sign the contract tomorrow! Honey, if we can cooperate with the Haustia Family, we'll be successful in the future!"
Although they had money now, they had no power or influence, and their assets couldn't compare to those of the top families.
So Zander was always ridiculed.
If they could cooperate with the Haustia Family, no one would dare to mock them anymore.
Isadora had been busy all day and was exhausted. She fell asleep as soon as she got back to her room.
When she woke up, it was already the next morning.
She went downstairs, expecting to see her parents with worried faces.
But to her surprise, she saw Delphine in a beautiful silk nightgown, with her hair neatly done, smiling and eating breakfast.
"Mom, where's Dad?" Isadora walked over, looking at her in confusion. "Mom, you seem very happy?"
Delphine pulled her over to sit next to her, "Izzy, our problem is solved! Your dad went to the company early in the morning to sign the contract. Not only is the funding problem solved, but we also found a partner."
Isadora could hardly believe her ears, "Mom? Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?" Delphine said, "Your dad called back, the contract is signed. He's busy now, otherwise, I would call him to let you hear."
Isadora was still a bit skeptical, "Mom, are you and Dad teaming up to trick me?"
"Can we trick you for a while, but can we trick you for a lifetime?" Delphine said, "It's true."
"Is it really that good? The other party has no conditions?"
"No, that's why I said we really met good people!"
Isadora suddenly remembered Ulysses saying, "Everything will be fine tomorrow."
And it really was fine!
Were Ulysses' words that effective?
Isadora, still uneasy, called her dad.
Her dad answered, "Izzy, I'm busy right now! When I get home tonight, I'll take you and your mom out for a big dinner to celebrate!"
Zander had arrived at the company early in the morning, expecting to wait for a long time, but to his surprise, the other party also arrived early.
Stuart, following Ulysses' instructions, made sure his subordinates handled the matter as quickly as possible.
Zander signed the contract, and with the contract in front of him, he still couldn't believe his eyes.
He asked the person signing the contract, "How did Mr. Haustia know about our small company?"
The person smiled, "We don't know that, we just follow orders. You don't need to inquire; if you really want to show gratitude, just do more good deeds in the future."
Zander knew he couldn't get any more information, and when he asked to meet Stuart, he was told it wasn't necessary, just to cooperate well in the future.
Zander was full of gratitude, but the other party didn't give him a chance to express it.
Zander could only resolve to do more good deeds in the future to give back to society.
After calling Zander, Isadora finally felt at ease.
She took a leave of absence from school and could now return to class.
She sent a message to Ulysses: [I'm fine, don't worry. I've decided to keep pursuing you.]
Ulysses saw it and replied: [Why don't you keep your word? Didn't you say you wouldn't pursue me anymore?]
Isadora said: [I don't keep my word, what can you do about it?]
Ulysses didn't realize that the corners of his mouth had quietly turned up.
