Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

272 Chapter 458 Trouble ? I frowned slightly . " Alright , " I said . " Wait for me . I'll head over now , ' +25 Bonus The moment I hung up , I stood , grabbed my jacket , and prepared to leave for the university . If she had been just another professor , I might not have cared so much . But she wasn't . She was connected to me- and more importantly , she was Claire's best friend . If I could help her , I would . " Mr. Grimwald , there's a business partner here to see you , " Dan called from outside the office , followed by a polite knock . I opened the door .

Dan looked a bit startled to see me , and beside him stood a middle - aged man in a crisp suit , looking both anxious and eager . " I'm so sorry to interrupt , Mr. Grimwald , " the man said quickly , nearly bowing . " I know you're busy , but I've come all the way from Sazaar . Time is tight , and I truly hope we can work together ! " He hurried to pull a folder from his briefcase and handed it to me . " Mr. Grimwald , this is our company's proposal . We're the largest pharmaceutical distributor in Sazaar . " The profit - sharing model will absolutely satisfy you .

All we want is city - level exclusive rights for the two newest best - selling products from Sleeping Giant . " I immediately understood his purpose . The company name printed on the folder read : Shawn Inc. , Sazaar . 1 I had never heard of them . Granting exclusive city sales rights wasn't impossible , but such deals required careful evaluation - market influence , logistics capacity , brand reputation . One mistake could drag Sleeping Giant's name straight through the mud . And since I didn't even recognize the company , a proper background check would take time - time I didn't have .

" Exclusive rights ? " I asked , frowning . " I'll need to think it over . But I have something urgent right now . Excuse me . " I gave a brief nod , stepped past him , and headed for the door . " Mr. Grimwald ! It won't take long , I promise ! " he called after me . " Please , just consider it ! Mr. Grimwald , where are you going ? Let me drive you there ! " Before he could follow , Dan stepped in to block his path . " I'm sorry , sir , " Dan said with a polite smile that left no room for argument . " Mr. Grimwald really does have personal matters to attend to .

Please come again another day . " " Ah . " Realizing it was hopeless , the man sighed . His shoulders slumped as he turned to leave . In the underground parking lot , Winston Hill finally reached his car . He sat there for a moment , collecting himself , then unlocked his phone and began scrolling . " Mr. Grimwald , Astergrad University alumnus ? " he murmured . " And recently hosted a recruitment event there ? " His eyes brightened . He had just been turned down flat , but Astergrad University might offer a way back in . +25 Bonus " Got it , " he muttered .

" If working with Sleeping Giant means spending tens of millions to invest in this university , then so be it . It'll be worth it . " He quickly made several calls , soon obtaining the contact information of Astergrad University's vice chancellor , Gordon Vought . When the line connected , his tone turned warm and confident . " Hello , Mr. Mack ? This is Winston Hill . I'd like to discuss a 2 - million - dollar investment with your university . Is now a good time ? " A pause followed , then a delighted reply . " Haha , no need to come here , Mr. Hill .

Tell me where you are , and I'll come to you . " Winston ended the call , exhaled , and straightened in his seat . " As long as I invest in Astergrad University , Sebastian will have to notice . He'll see my sincerity then , " he said under his breath . With renewed confidence , he started the engine and drove out of the garage . By that time , I had already arrived at Astergrad University and sent Astrid a message .
