chapter 28 If we win the project, who can help us?

"Grandpa, don't be upset!" Seeing Mr. Lindsey getting angry, Ceren quickly closed her mouth and supported Mr. Lindsey, "Don’t scare me!" "Dad, I won’t say anymore!" Norio also dared not to mock Adohi any longer, fearing that if something happened to Mr. Lindsey, it would be troublesome. "Sigh..." Mr. Lindsey took a deep breath and finally caught his breath, "Remember, Adohi is not an ordinary person!" "Now, we are going to meet Mr. Willow to discuss the New Welfare Project, so perk up!" Mr. Lindsey spoke sternly, and Ceren dared not say more, knowing well that the New Welfare Project meant everything to the Lindsey Group. Following the address on the note given by Welch, they went to a luxurious private room upstairs. "Mr. Lindsey!" Seeing Old Master Lindsey arrive, the waiting Welch smiled and spoke very politely. "Welch, hello!" Yohan also greeted him with a full face of courtesy, sincerely shaking hands with him. Welch smiled slightly, "Mr. Willow is indisposed and needed to rest, he has left earlier. Chairman Ivano will meet you on behalf of Mr. Willow, please come into the private room." "Thank you, Welch! We will enter right away!" Yohan was very happy, continuously thanking him. Inside the luxurious private room, Chairman Ivano was discussing matters with the executives. Seeing people enter the room, everyone looked over! "Mr. Lindsey, welcome!" Ivano greeted them with a happy smile, giving enough face to Yohan, initiating the greeting! Yes, he remembered Mr. Willow's words and had to pay enough attention to Adohi, and not neglect those Adohi valued! Seeing Ivano lowering his status to greet, Old Master Lindsey and others felt somewhat embarrassed! Especially Ceren, full of confusion, thinking it should be them, the ones seeking help, to initiate the greeting? "Mr. Willow! And everyone, hello!" Yohan, with a smile on his face, quickly stepped forward! "Hehe, Old Master Lindsey, let's sit and talk!" Ivano, the son of Old Master Fusao and the future successor of the Willow family, was usually hard to meet! Yohan quickly sat down, nodding. And Ceren, usually quite arrogant, was now very nervous, like a little girl afraid of making mistakes! "Lindsey Group has a good reputation in the industry." "I feel reassured giving the big New Welfare Project to Lindsey Group, they are also reassured!" Ivano didn't waste time on pleasantries and directly talked business. Yohan, excited, kept nodding, "We have no objections, we understand the industry rules." Ivano nodded, "In that case, attend the project bidding, follow the procedures, and as for other matters, we will handle them here." Ivano, with an air of authority and power, clearly a business tycoon. The project was thus internally decided for Lindsey Group. Very simple. Far less complicated than imagined. In Ivano's eyes, this project worth tens of billions wasn't a big deal. But for the Lindsey Family, it was a golden opportunity to break through their bottleneck. Norio, excited, nodded vigorously, "Please rest assured, Mr. Willow, we won't let you down." Ceren's eyes sparkled with excitement! Yes, the Lindsey Group had put in countless efforts to secure this big project of the New Welfare Project! "One thing you must remember, this New Welfare Project is for our Willow family to showcase our achievements, to show to the Jefferton Chamber of Commerce!" "We, the Willow family, will join the Jefferton Chamber of Commerce based on this project, it's also our stepping stone to a bigger stage, so take it seriously!" After Ivano finished speaking, he looked at his watch. Yohan, with high emotional intelligence, immediately stood up to thank him, "Mr. Willow, thank you, when we visit your company for the bidding, we will definitely visit to express our gratitude!" Ivano just smiled slightly, not saying much. "By the way." After much deliberation, Yohan couldn't help but voice the doubts in his heart, "Mr. Willow, can you tell us who has been secretly helping our Lindsey Family? Was it Adohi?" Seeing his grandfather mention Adohi at this time, Ceren couldn't help but feel a twinge of sourness in his heart! "What skills does Adohi have to warrant Mr. Willow's personal intervention in this matter?" "Grandpa's question is so direct, isn't this too disrespectful to Mr. Willow?" "Hehe!" Ivano smiled slightly, already guessing that the Lindsey Family didn't know about Adohi's incredible abilities! "Since Adohi hasn't explicitly told the Lindsey Family, I might as well keep it a secret!" "This is Adohi's matter, getting involved would only seem abrupt!" Thinking this, Ivano said with a smile, "I'm not quite sure about this, the decision to assign the New Welfare Project to your Lindsey Group was my father's idea." "Initially, the New Welfare Project was meant for Sky Group, but Yukia and his gang's influence was purged by the War Department." "Sky Group is too busy dissociating themselves from Yukia and lacks the energy to manage the project well." "So, we handed the project over to your Lindsey Group." "After all, your Lindsey Family also had a benefactor's support, which made my father change his initial decision!" "You don't even know who helped your family, do you?" After Ivano's speech, his facial expressions became increasingly inscrutable! "Mr. Willow, my daughter had already called Mr. Zastrow, the elder son of the Zastrow family, before." Norio said in a low voice. He thought Mr. Zastrow had given the Lindsey Family a helping hand! And Ceren nodded hurriedly! "Someone from the Zastrow family?" Ivano said disdainfully, "They don't have that kind of power!" Actually, what Ivano really wanted to say was, Mr. Zastrow is nothing compared to Adohi! Hearing this, the Lindsey family became even more puzzled! If not Mr. Zastrow, then who helped the Lindsey Family? But they didn't continue to ask, to avoid offending Mr. Willow! With full of confusion, the family prepared to head home. "Grandpa, who is helping our Lindsey Family?" Ceren asked in a low voice. Yohan pondered hard, "I'm also at a loss... Anyway, it's not someone from the Zastrow family!" "That Mr. Zastrow is so shameless!" Norio was furiously indignant, thinking of his own scene of smiling gratefully at Mr. Zastrow, which made him even more upset and angry! And Ceren was very angry too! She had more than once thanked Mr. Zastrow in her heart and was proud to know such an important figure like Mr. Zastrow! But it turned out, Mr. Zastrow was just a hypocrite. Yohan narrowed his old eyes and fell into deep thought, "Is Adohi stirring things up behind the scenes?" Ceren and Norio were speechless, thinking the old man was delusional. Why did he always think that the Lindsey Family's gains were Adohi's doing? Back at the villa, Yohan saw the lights in the hall on and smiled, "Adohi got home before us." Norio coldly said, "A country bumpkin, probably felt uncomfortable at the grand scene of the Willow family's banquet and came back early to avoid embarrassment." But when Ceren entered the living room, she found Adohi wasn't there, and immediately panicked! She angrily ran back to her room! As expected, Adohi was already sleeping sweetly on the sofa in her room! Ceren glanced at the intimate clothes on her bed! There were various sexy panties, impressive bras, and high-quality stockings! Adohi wasn't home this afternoon, so Ceren tried on clothes in her room without restraint, but forgot to clean up before leaving! "Now my personal items have all been seen by Adohi? How embarrassing..." Ceren's face turned red with embarrassment! She hurriedly closed the door and quickly tidied up her clothes, only to find a particularly sexy and charming small lace panty missing! "Where did it go?" Ceren flipped the blanket but didn't find it, and involuntarily looked towards Adohi's spot, just to see her own panties' lace edge at Adohi's crotch! "That guy, he actually stole my panties..." Thinking of that embarrassing scene, Ceren's face turned red with shame, "Adohi, I'm going to kill you!" "What's going on?" Adohi was sleeping soundly when Ceren rushed over, her chest heaving due to her excitement and rapid pace!
