"I went to the headquarters for a meeting earlier, and Mr. Heller talked about the project. I have the final say in Prestige Electronics. However, suppose it manages to attract the headquarters' attention and make Mr. Heller talk about it, in which case it means we must find the best partner for the project. The project is too huge and costs money."
"Mr. Dawson, not to blow our trumpet, but the Parker Corporation is the best in manufacturing circuit boards in Orapolis. I'm sure you understand that our corporation is a win-win decision."
Kendall finally understood. Mr. Dawson wanted to make a quick decision after Mr. Heller has asked about it. So, Mr. Dawson is hinting that if I want to make Prestige Electronics cooperate with the Parker Corporation, I must sleep with him.
Leonel tilted his head to look at Kelly while putting his hand on hers. Then, he said with a hidden meaning, "I know the Parker Corporation is powerful, so I am considering cooperating with you."
Kendall looks pretty from the side too. I like her.
He quickly moved his hand, but immediately placed it on Kendall's thigh. Patting it, he said, "Kendall, tell me about the advantages of your company. If you can convince me, we'll sign the contract today."
Then, he wanted to move his hand, but she grabbed his wandering hand.
She pulled the hand and immediately slapped it hard on the table.
Leonel felt pain radiate through his palm. This girl is strong when she wants to be!
"Kendall!" Kelly was shocked by Kendall's move, fearing that Kendall would offend Leonel.
Kendall ignored Kelly while calmly saying to Leonel, "Mr. Dawson, I sincerely want to cooperate with you. The advantage of the Parker Corporation is its power. We produce high-quality items with a high passing rate and will send the stock in time. Hence, we can reduce the loss and increase profit. The Parker Corporation mainly produces circuit boards. Not to blow our trumpet, but we are the leader in the circuit board industry. We will join forces to achieve a win-win situation if we cooperate."
After speaking, Kendall retracted her hand to raise the glass and added, "Mr. Heller, let's drink. If what I said can't convince you, then I will compete with you through alcohol."
Leonel now understood that Kendall wasn't ignorant about the hidden rule, but she was avoiding it.
If someone tried to use the rule on her, she might slap that person.
Kendall used such strong force to slap Leonel's hand on the table because she was on the verge of blowing a gasket.
Leonel couldn't score a lady, but he would not push his luck. Since she had rejected him, he could only give up.
When he was getting disinterested, she wanted to have a drinking competition, so he was amused. I will cooperate with the Parker Corporation anyway; why not find an excuse to step down?
And so, he answered, "Since you are challenging me, I would not refuse. If you can beat me, we will sign the contract today. Then, Prestige Electronics will cooperate with the Parker Corporation."
"Are you sure?"
Leonel answered solemnly, "Yes."
"Good."
Kelly immediately suggested, "I will be the referee. Whoever gets drunk first will lose."
Then, he asked the server to bring over a few bottles of intense alcohol as he wanted to teach Kendall a lesson. You will hurt your stomach if you are unwilling to sacrifice your body when you are socializing and talking about business. I will see how much you can drink if you think you can win against me!
On the other hand, Kelly hoped that Kendall would get drunk, so that she could manipulate the event in her favor.
Unfortunately, Kendall had disappointed Kelly because the person who got drunk first was Leonel.
Although Kendall drank a few more cups than Leonel, she was still sane and could speak swiftly. On the other hand, he was flushed and his tongue was knotted. Although he wasn't wasted, everyone could tell he was drunk.
"Mr. Heller, do you want a few more cups of wine?" Kendall pretended to pour another cup of wine for Leonel.
He waved his hand upon hearing that. "N-No. Don't… I-I admit defeat."
Leonel didn't dare to drink any more as he would be drunk as mud if he continued. He feared he would suffer from alcohol poisoning, and all hell would break loose by then. I was going to find a step down anyway. I should stop when the time is right.
"So, when can we sign the contract?"
He opened his mouth and tried to talk with a knotted tongue. Then, he stammered, "T-Tomorrow… I will personally bring the contract t-to you."
Kendall smiled at him. "Will you sign with me?"
He was lost in her smile for a while. After regaining his senses, he said, "You convinced… me… So, I w-will sign it with you."
"Mr. Dawson!" Kelly couldn't help but yell.
She was in charge of obtaining the contract with Prestige Electronics. As for Kendall, she was going to cooperate with Kelly and learn from her instead.
If Kendall signed the contract, she was the one who won over Prestige Electronics instead of Kelly.
Kelly wouldn't let Kendall achieve success and let her colleagues look up on Kendall.
"Okay. I'll be in the company, waiting for you to come to me with the contract." Kendall interrupted what Kelly wanted to say before she thoughtfully spoke to Leonel, "Mr. Dawson, I'll book a room for you. You may rest in the hotel before returning."
"Sure." Leonel didn't have the energy to return to his office.
Hence, Kendall said to Kelly, "Kelly, please take care of Mr. Dawson. I'll book a room for him so that he can have a good rest."
With that, Kendall rose to pull away the chair before leaving.
After she left, Kelly immediately sat next to Leonel to support him and said, "Mr. Dawson, let me sign the contract. You should find me tomorrow… No, I will bring my secretary with me to find you. You don't have to come here."
Leonel tilted his head to look at Kelly. He was drunk, but he did not lose consciousness. "Vice President Parker…" he answered with an ironic smile. "You're… bullying a newbie…"
Kelly tried to sacrifice Kendall and take credit for it.
Kelly then smiled. "Mr. Dawson, I'm not bullying the newbie. I am solely responsible for the cooperation with your company. Kendall is just learning by my side."
Leonel shook his head. "Ms. Parker… was the one… who convinced me…"
He would not sign the contract with any person other than Kendall.
"Mr. Dawson, I know you like Kendall. Won't you feel dissatisfied when she doesn't give you any respect?"
"I won't force her…" He pushed Kelly's hand away and leaned on the chair to tell Kelly. "Stop talking
about it… Kendall convinced me to cooperate with the company, so she must be the one to sign the contract. Otherwise, I will not approve the cooperation."
