Lovely Baby Came to Me
Chapter 34 He would Terminate Your Business

When Rupert was thinking, Monty started to talk with him, "Master Rupert, I am the general manager of Excellent Company, Monty Clark. Nice to meet you." Rupert sat straight carelessly and said, "Nice to meet you. Mr. Clark."

Monty was nervous to have Rupert here and gave an embarrassed smile, "Master Rupert, you are visiting us without any notice in advance. I am so sorry for not welcoming you earlier." Rupert did not care about it and laughed, "I passed the office and just came to ask about the process of the project. But I did not expect you were too busy. Sorry to interrupt you." "Never mind." Robbie answered before Monty.

Rupert looked at him now and asked, "May I know your name?"

Robbie was much surprised with the question.

He was a celebrity in the City J, but Rupert had never known him!

Agnes was unhappy, asking before thinking too much, "Don't you know Robbie?"

"Shall I know him?"

Rupert had a look at Robbie carelessly; he really did not know who the man was, some boss?

Robbie was embarrassed and stared at Agnes, saying, "Master Rupert is so prestigious and much busy; it's easy to understand he does not know me. But Master Rupert is greatly known to all in the city. I am trying to get a chance to meet and talk with you, but always failed; today I got it by accident. It's my pleasure."

"OK." Rupert did not say more and just kept his arrogance and superiority as normal, some like his elder brother Hector.

Robbie did not care about the short word he received and considered himself to be generous. He said, "Master Rupert, I am the CEO of Gardner Group, Robbie Garden. This is my name card."

"You are from Gardner Group." Rupert had a look at the card without getting it with hands. He said quietly, "I heard a young man from the Gardener's family is outstanding among the new generation, as talented as the two of the Rogers' family in business... At that time, I thought I should meet him one day, but I did not expect to meet you here today."

Listening to this, Robbie's eyes were twitching.

Although Rupert talked about it in an easy way, Robbie felt like a mock.

With a blush on cheeks, he rushed to give a smile, "I am glad to get so much compliment. But forget it please. How can I be as talented as Mr. Hector and you? You two are the most outstanding among us in the city."

Rupert was careless about these words; he was too excellent to care about anyone's comments.

Monty was there to hear their talk and had to interrupt them, "Master Rupert, you are here to ask about the process of the project. I am going to get our report for your review."

In his mind, he eagerly hoped Rupert to leave soon after reading the report. "Don't bother us!" Monty thought.

Rupert would not like to talk more with Robbie and promised, "Well. Go to get it now. I have another appointment with the head of Asian Banks. I have to save my time."

"Yes, a moment please." Monty asked someone else to get the report as soon as possible.

Some team members behind Robbie got worried.

They just had an easy talk, not starting the main topic. How could Rupert leave now?

Robbie knew it was difficult to talk more when seeing what Rupert was like right now.

He got calm down immediately.

Since Rupert did not loved to be flattered, he had considered to negotiate with him frankly about the business.

Whatever, business was business; Rupert should not refuse him.

Robbie got the idea and said again, "Master Rupert, I heard Rogers Group planned to cooperate with a foreign company named Stephens Group on a project of developing advanced computer chips. To be frank, Gardner Group has been devoted to some work in the field for recent years and made the top level of research all over the country. My core team took three months to prepare for a proposal. Could you allow me to introduce to you?"

Rupert sat with shaking legs; he laughed at Robbie in his mind about his saying that Gardner Group made top level of research.

Gardner Group just developed a new product by accident and got recognized by the market, but the product was sold for short time and stopped now.

This was the top level as he said?

Rupert shook his head and said, "My elder brother is in charge of the project. I am sorry I cannot help you."

To Robbie's surprise, Rupert refused him immediately; Robbie had to say, "We have a really good proposal. I am sure you will love it."

Rupert said, "Whether I love or not doesn't matter. You have to talk with Hector."

Robbie tried to ask, "May I have your recommendation to Mr. Hector?"

Rupert laughed out.

Robbie was crazy!

Hector was not the one whom anyone was able to meet.

He just answered, "No. Hector was not nice recently; he does not like to meet anybody."

Robbie thought Rupert just gave him an excuse and tried to ask him again. Monty was unhappy to see it and interrupted their talk soon, "Master Rupert, please review the project report." "Ok." Rupert got the report to read.

He ignored Robbie who had to stop talking about anything.

After a while, Rupert finished reading all the report and seemed to get satisfied, "Good job. Please follow up as the report. I am leaving now if everything is ok. Please continue your talk."

Then he got the car key on table and was leaving the room.

Robbie called him, "Master Rupert..."

Rupert stopped, but not for listening to what he said, "Mr. Gardener, we have rules for doing business. Now Rogers Group is doing business with Excellent Company; that's why I come here only to talk with them. If Gardner Group intends to cooperate with us, let's wait for another opportunity."

He meant he would not give Robbie the chance this time.

Then, Rupert left.

The team of Gardner Group staying in the meeting room felt annoyed, especially Robbie.

He tried best to humble himself and flattered someone for the first time in his life, finally, he was totally ignored.

Robbie was angriest here for sure.

Anyway, it was him who asked for an opportunity...

Compared with the angry Robbie, Monty was glad to see this.

At the very beginning, he was afraid Rupert would get his plan messed.

Out of his expectation, Rupert helped him much.

Monty said with a smile, "Mr. Gardener, I agree with Master Rupert. You planned to buy my company; how can you kick down your ladder as soon as meeting him? Master Rupert also told you there will be other cooperation between you. So, you know it's good value to buy us! Everyone knows Rogers Group earns the profit of billions from any project, much more than my price. What do you think?" Robbie heard it and lost the hope.

He lost double for the visit to Excellent Company today.

On the next day, Gardner Group finished all the jobs regarding the acquisition in soonest time and bought Excellent Company at five hundred million dollars.

On the third day, Rogers Group terminated the business with Excellent Company for it breaking the agreement.

Robbie was greatly astonished at the issue and asked angrily, "Which agreement did we break?"

The new general manager of Excellent Company answered nervously, "When Rogers Group signed agreement with Excellent Company, Rogers Group requested the project has to be executed by a staff. The staff was asked to leave our company and we did not report to Rogers Group soon. Now they got to know it and would like to terminate the business."

Robbie was filled with a sense of impending doom and asked, "What's the name of the staff?"

The manager answered, "Eloise... Eloise Thompson."¶¶¶¶¶
