Chapter 263 - Wilson is confident in winning against Evan
Hotel.
The project department organized this reception at the last minute, clearly with the help of the Wilson Family's connections.
"There are a lot of people attending the bidding this time, but most of them are just accompanying the bidders," Wilson pushed her glasses up and followed behind Nolan.
Nolan got angry when he saw Wilson's glasses. "Take off your glasses!"
Ignoring Nolan, Wilson continued analyzing. "Mr. Cunningham, these are a few planned proposals from competitor companies that might be selected. Tonight, pay close attention to them and take the initiative to drink with them."
Wilson followed Nolan, almost jogging. Couldn't Nolan walk slower?
Now Wilson understood how considerate Ethan was towards her. He intentionally slowed down his pace every time to wait for her.
"You want me to take the initiative to drink with these people?" Nolan suddenly stopped and frowned at Wilson. "Are you serious?"
Wilson took a deep breath and lowered heris voice. "Mr. Cunningham, even though your identity and status are far superior to these people, small businesses can participate in Westing's project. If you're too arrogant, you might make enemies. Besides, we need to take the initiative in order to catch our opponents off guard."
Nolan proactively went to get a drink, creating a sense of pressure on the other party. People without confidence would give up voluntarily, while those who are confident will certainly showcase their proudest aspects to demonstrate their strength.
Just by looking at the other person's gaze, Wilson could roughly guess their capabilities.
Most people do not have strong mental resilience when faced with someone of higher status.
Unless the other person has exceptionally strong mental resilience, it must also be paired with actual ability.
"Hmph, you're doing this on purpose," Nolan muttered under his breath.
Wilson became a little anxious. "Mr. Cunningham, you asked for my help. If you don't listen, then what am I supposed to do?"
As presidents, the gap between Nolan and Ethan was significant.
Nolan didn't say anything, just glanced at Wilson. He neither agreed nor disagreed.
The cocktail party.
"Mr. Cunningham!"
As soon as Nolan arrived, the people from the project approached him proactively. "Mr. Cunningham, it's great that you could come in person."
Wilson pushed his glasses up and followed behind Nolan.
"Mr. Cunningham, let me introduce you. This is Evan, the project manager at Wilson Enterprises." The project team took the initiative to introduce Nolan to Evan.
Evan walked over, smiling and shaking hands with Nolan.
Probably because Wilson was dressed too casually, Evan didn't recognize her.
"My assistant should be familiar to you," Nolan said, nudging Wilson forward.
Wilson lowered her head, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Evan. "Mr. Wilson, hello."
Evan was stunned and took a long time to react. "Wilson?" He paused before asking, "How did you end up at Cunningham Enterprises?"
Wilson remained silent.
"Mr. Wilson, do you know Mr. Cunningham's assistant?" the project team asked.
"We're not acquainted," Wilson voluntarily replied. "I heard that Mr. Wilson is determined to win this project."
Evan looked at Wilson for a long time before saying, "Come with me."
Wilson glanced at Nolan.
Nolan didn't react.
Feeling relieved, Wilson followed Evan out.
"How did you end up at Cunningham Enterprises?" Evan asked nervously. His eyes were avoiding, as if feeling guilty.
"That's my business," Wilson replied, not intending to explain further.
"It seems like Cunningham Enterprises really wants this project," Evan probed, looking at Wilson.
"Cunningham Enterprises has many projects, this one is insignificant," Wilson said casually.
She didn't want to make Evan too suspicious.
"The fact that Mr. Cunningham chose to attend tonight's event shows his intentions," Evan grumbled.
Evan wanted to gather some information from Wilson.
"Mr. Cunningham is attending this event because Cunningham Enterprises is focusing its future development in Silverlight City. We are here to expand our network, not make enemies," Wilson said, revealing her purpose.
Wilson wanted to convey to Evan that Nolan wouldn't risk offending numerous companies in Silverlight City for just a small Westing project. They would prioritize the Silverlight City market and wouldn't lose a big opportunity for a small gain.
"But Mr. Cunningham will easily secure the Westing project," Wilson said.
"The Wilson Family has been involved with the Westing project for a long time. It's basically a done deal. Cunningham Enterprises won't be able to get it, so there's no need for you to waste your efforts," Evan straightforwardly informed Wilson.
"We'll just consider it as making friends then. I have been following up on this project, and our proposal is perfect," Wilson confidently stated.
Evan stared at Wilson for a long time. She had changed so much since her release from prison.
From being timid and fearful in the beginning, her eyes now exuded confidence.
Ethan had given Wilson a great boost. But Evan knew that Wilson's essence was always confident and perfect.
It's just that in these past five years, she hadn't had the opportunity to showcase it.
Once, Evan had taken great pride in Wilson.
In Evan's eyes, Wilson was almost perfect. She excelled in academics and was proficient in various arts like dance, piano, and violin. She was practically a talented prodigy.
He used to proudly tell people that the swan on stage was his sister, Wilson.
But later, Evan's shady thoughts and possessiveness made him contemplate destroying her and confining her to his side.
"Cunningham Enterprises is not a local company. No matter how hard you try, you can't beat us," Evan didn't want to discourage Wilson, but it was the truth.
"The Wilson Family has given so much benefits to the local government, and the government really should support you more," Wilson nodded.
"The local government asked Mr. Cunningham for too much money, and Mr. Cunningham did not include it in the main competition project," he continued.
"Westing is a bit behind, asking for 30% profit, which most companies can't afford," Evan confidently said.
Wilson nodded again. "I Wwish you success."
"Wilson," as Wilson was about to leave, Evan grabbed his wrist. "Did Daniel come to you after his divorce with Serena?"
Wilson calmly shrugged off Evan's hand. "He has nothing to do with me."
"Wilson, I'm sorry about what happened back then," Evan's voice was hoarse as he apologized proactively.
Wilson glanced back at Evan. "Sorry doesn't mean anything."
With that, Wilson entered the party.
Evan was too complacent. He didn't think Wilson could snatch the project from his hands.
After all, Wilson spent five years in prison and was now just an assistant.
Westing openly demanded 30%, which didn't reveal much information.
But Wilson had already guessed the general situation.
This time, Evan was bound to lose.
