River went on, "I can't sacrifice Yantail. I just can't. Does that mean the only option

is for Yantail to be absorbed by Lafond Group? Become one of their subsidiaries?"

If he didn't change industries, the only way to avoid rivalry would be to merge.

But River didn't want that. Lafond wanted to acquire Yantail-but that wasn't what he wanted.

Zachary answered, "Weren't you already working on transforming Yantail? The

"There are hundreds of industries out there. And in every field, there are

opportunities for top talent. You could pivot and still thrive."

He paused. "But River, this is your life. I can't make that decision for you. If you're

not ready to make sacrifices, then stick with the status quo and see how things

go. Maybe in a few years, things will change."
