Just from Elly Campbell’s speech just now, if it could persuade him, he knew that this young lady, despite her age, actually had some skill.
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Ainley. The company still relies on you. Although I sit in this position, most of the decisions are still up to you to make."
Seeing that Greenhill Ainley gave her face, Elly naturally respected him in return.
"CEO Campbell is being too modest. Let’s discuss everything together, looking forward to a pleasant cooperation."
"Looking forward to a pleasant cooperation."
After Greenhill Ainley left, Elly got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the street bustling with heavy traffic, her gaze deep.
Having been in Alaska for over three months, she was gradually getting familiar with the company operations.
In fact, having a company inject capital was a very good idea. Any company, if it only depends on itself for development, is too insular. Although what she had said to Greenhill Ainley was true, it was not absolute.
Unfortunately, the potential investor was Jones Corp. If it were not for Jones Corp, she might have considered it.
Thinking about the last time she saw Adam Jones, Elly’s eyes dimmed.
Back then, when Adam asked if she was willing to start over, she answered very clearly, but in reality, she was afraid—afraid that if she took even a second to consider, she would truly start hesitating.
She was terrified of going through another three years like before. It had taken her so much effort to move on from her past obsession with Adam, and she dared not look back.
Taking a deep breath, she gathered her wandering thoughts back and checked her Vacheron Constantin watch. She pressed the intercom button and called her secretary in.
"I won’t be at the office this afternoon. I’ve dealt with the files that needed attention. If anything comes up, call me."
"Understood, CEO Campbell."
After giving her secretary a few instructions, Elly tidied up a bit, grabbed her bag, and left the office.
In the afternoon, William Campbell’s kindergarten was organizing a cartoon character-themed event at Times Square, and parents were required to accompany their children.
When Elly rushed over, she saw William dressed in a pterosaur dinosaur costume, lining up behind his teacher. All the children in each group were wearing the same dinosaur costumes, which looked quite whimsical.
Seeing Elly coming, William’s eyes lit up. Standing amidst the row of pterosaurs, he waved his little hand at her.
Because it was a crowded square, the kindergarten was also concerned about not being able to look after every child and was afraid that children might get hurt or lost, thus they enforced that every child’s parent must attend.
The theme of the event was "Jurassic World," and each class of children was to play different dinosaurs.
Halfway through the event, William came over to Elly, took her hand, and said, "Mommy, I need to pee."
The event had just ended its midpoint, and it was a time for free activity. Elly took William to the shopping mall beside Times Square.
Entering through the main entrance, on the right-hand side, there was a very large and upscale coffee shop with full-length glass windows, occupying nearly half of the ground floor of the mall.
Elly, holding William’s hand, passed by the café on her way to the mall’s restroom.
"President Jones, we’re very grateful that you came personally to discuss with us this time. Because this project was not initially taken on by us, it was delayed for a while, and for that, we’re truly sorry."
Inside the café, Adam Jones was wearing a custom-made designer suit, with a Vacheron Constantin watch on his left wrist, simple and luxurious yet extremely understated.
