Beyond the Divorce

It was understandable for two rival companies, especially fierce competitors like us, to be cautious. So, I approached the topic differently.

"You don't have to give me the details. I'm just using it as an example. You shouldn't be concerned if you're in charge of these projects, have signed contracts, and have the power to negotiate and oversee construction. Stand tall, use it as leverage, and negotiate with her."

As I continued eating, I offered Matthew advice and suggestions.

Matthew finally disclosed a few unfavorable aspects, and I pondered, providing him with guidance and a well-thought-out plan.

Matthew's face lit up, smiling and feeling somewhat triumphant.

I glanced disdainfully at him, set down my utensils, and reached for a few napkins to dab at the corners of my mouth.

"In that case, keep in touch with me. If you run into any problems, let me know, and I will figure out how to help." I successfully sold this favor to Matthew.
