When the higher-ups showed support, many doors opened easily.

Her main concern, however, was the unpredictability; Like the weather, the business climate could change from sunny to cloudy in a moment.

She worried about the repercussions of sudden changes.

Who would be accountable then?

"Well, I'll review this thoroughly! Goldwald Company is also keen on this sector, which is why we're eager to join this project."

As the meeting concluded, Bethany started to stand up to leave.

Brenden then called out from behind, "Miss Holt, didn't you just offer to invite me to dinner?"

Since he brought it up, what else could Bethany say? "Oh, look at me! I was thinking about reviewing these materials and almost forgot. What would you like to eat? It's on me."

"How could I let you pay when you're visiting Brokdon? I just want to foster a good working relationship since we'll be collaborating in the future!"

Bethany hadn't mentioned that she was just there for due diligence.

She worried it might reflect poorly on Goldwald Company's commitment.

"I insist on treating this time; you can cover the next one!" After stating this, Bethany phoned Liza and Jaden, asking them to meet at the restaurant. "I'll introduce you to my two assistants as well."

"Sure!" Brenden had no objections. "My boss might join us later. He's currently in a meeting but is aware that representatives from Goldwald Company are here. He wants to meet with you."

Bethany was glad to hear that.

Meeting the leader of Owlimited Company could be advantageous, and it would also allow her to gauge their true intentions.

Jonathan, as the president, was part of a video conference but found himself distracted and unable to focus on the discussion.

His dark eyes kept drifting to his phone.

"Mr. Bates, the growth rate for the new quarter is very promising," one of the shareholders said, their voice buoyant with the good news.

Jonathan gave a slight nod, showing no signs of joy.

The ambiguity of his response made the shareholders cautious. "So, Mr. Bates, are you considering expanding into foreign market next? The market there remains unoccupied."

"I'll send someone to assess the situation first. We shouldn't proceed rashly."

ALL shareholders nodded in agreement, understanding his conservative approach.
