Chapter 2344: Ms. Quinlan, Do You Have Time to Meet?

Nathalie Quinlan is now the hottest rookie in Inderia, Nicholas Fuller’s disciple, and the future head of The First Research Institute.

Various major powers in Inderia want to take advantage of Nathalie Quinlan’s youth and establish good relations with her. If she succeeds Nicholas Fuller as the head of The First Research Institute, it may be too late for them to connect on equal terms.

Everyone here is a smart person; who doesn’t understand the concept of investment?

Simon Grayson is the head of the business alliance, and as a businessman prioritizes profit, he knows the investment return game well. Hence, he is the most proactive among these powers, keen to establish a friendly relationship with Nathalie Quinlan.

He doesn’t care about face and is willing to lower himself a bit: "Ms. Quinlan, would you have the time to see me?"

Shania Yancey was speechless at this moment.

Her face was burning hot, flushed with embarrassment, and felt intensely painful.

Fortunately, Simon Grayson had attracted everyone’s attention, so no one was looking at her, which made her feel a bit more comfortable. Otherwise, she’d want to find a hole to crawl into.

Nathalie Quinlan had already put down her chopsticks when the other party approached. She wiped her mouth and said, "I asked you here to favor me. My uncle wants to meet you. If convenient, you can talk with him first. I’ll be waiting next door once you finish."

Simon Grayson seemed a bit puzzled but maintained his composure: "Ms. Quinlan’s uncle?"

Fredy Yancey, mature and dignified, immediately extended his hand to the other party and said, "Hello, Chairman Simon Grayson, I’m Fredy Yancey from the Yancey Family."

Simon Grayson shook his hand, paused, and remembered: "You want to discuss that... cooperation, right?"

"About this..."

Fredy Yancey hadn’t yet spoken.

Mr. Yancey cut in with a serious tone: "Chairman Simon Grayson, I hope our cooperation is based on thoughtful consideration. You can first listen to our conditions, and we can discuss them slowly."

Simon Grayson, being a sharp person, aimed to connect with Nathalie Quinlan, but he wasn’t a brainless sycophant.

The Yancey Family has significant industries in Inderia, and the cooperation they proposed to the business alliance this time is quite substantial.

Initially, he hadn’t replied to Candice Yancey deliberately to lower their expectations, a common tactic in commercial negotiations.

Since they made it clear that he needn’t compromise for The First Research Institute’s face, Simon Grayson relaxed slightly, nodded, and formally gestured an invitation: "Mr. Yancey, this cooperation involves commercial secrets. Let’s find a place to discuss it."

He turned to Nathalie Quinlan and said, "Ms. Quinlan, I estimate this meeting will take a while. Why don’t we reschedule?"

"No problem," the girl answered cheerfully.

Simon Grayson, relieved, said to Fredy Yancey, "Mr. Yancey, please go ahead."

Fredy Yancey turned back to Mr. Yancey, said a word, and then went with the other party outside to find a place to discuss the cooperation.

Amadeus Yancey then put down his chopsticks, gracefully wiped his hands, and got up, speaking to Mr. Yancey and Candice Yancey, "Grandfather, now that we’ve had dinner, we’ll be leaving first."

Mr. Yancey originally wanted Nathalie Quinlan to stay and play a while longer.

Amadeus Yancey perceived his thoughts and gently said, "She’s been busy all day, and it’s getting late, so I’ll take her home to sleep."

Hearing that Nathalie Quinlan had been occupied all day and still came to dine with them, Mr. Yancey felt a bit regretful and refrained from saying anything to retain her. He simply nodded: "I’ll have the driver take you back."
