Love Began with the First Meeting

"You're aware of how much money the Dragon Empire has invested here, and you must know what the result will be if the project fails," Brian said enigmatically. The director nodded his head agitatedly. Brian's mouth curled slightly before continuing," I'll provide any amount of money and people to you if you need, and I hope to see the results I'm expecting. Do you understand?"

"Yes, absolutely!" The director's face paled at the invisible pressure radiating from Brian. His clothes were wet from sweat and he shivered when a sudden breeze blew through him.

The situation in A City was no less strenuous than that in QY Island. Eric had spent a whole night analyzing the reports from those companies intending to cooperate with Dragon Empire and chose the best ones. However, before he could announce his choice, all of those companies unanimously canceled their proposals. Both Eric himself and the public were astounded by this fact because the opportunity to cooperate with the Dragon Empire Group was something most companies would dream of. Once a company become affiliated with Dragon Empire Group, it is almost sure that the stock price of that company would rocket up the next day.

When Shirley noticed the serious looks on Richie and Eric's faces, she changed her mind about going to school. After preparing them a cup of tea, she sat quietly and unobtrusively listened to their talks about the sudden matters. From the very beginning, they had predicted that the opposition factions in Dragon Island would take some actions before the parliamentary meeting. However, they didn't expect that something would go wrong in QY Island especially when Brian was there himself. Not to mention the project in A city which was sure of being a success suddenly came to naught. Most strangely, nothing happened in Dragon Island where the parliament meeting was about to take place. This was indeed a typical diversionary tactic.

"There's one company which hasn't canceled its cooperating proposal," Eric said. "However, the scale of that company isn't big enough, and it might not be able to meet our production demands." He finished, handing over the files to Richie.

Richie took the files from Eric's hand and perused their company's profile. His gaze narrowed as he asked, "Do you know what the Dream Media was in the past?"

"A small advertising company made up of young men with nothing but their dreams as capital," Eric replied.

"And what is it now?" Richie asked quizzically, raising his gaze.
