Leon and Snow entered the guest lounge to meet with the president of Zeller Group, Julianna Song. Julianna was a young, charming woman about Snow's age, and not to mention she was easy on the eyes as well. "Julianna, it's you!" Snow was stunned to see her. "Snow, what are you doing here?" Julianna was just as surprised to see her here. "Oh, I'm the presidential assistant of Elegante Group," Snow replied. "I see!" Julianna stepped forward and grabbed hold of Snow's arm in excitement, "It's so great to see you!" "Yes, it's been five, maybe six years, hasn't it?" Snow could not help lamenting. "Do you guys know each other?" Leon was puzzled to see how close they appeared to be, even though it was their first time meeting the president of Zeller Group. "Yes, Julianna and I went to college together," Snow explained. She went to college in the Central region of Sky County, and Julianna was her classmate and roommate at that time. They were always close, but unfortunately, t
"What? Sole distributor?" the smile disappeared from Leon's face when he heard this. With the rate that Elegante Group was growing, he and Iris intended to work with a few distributors at once. The fact that Julianna was requesting this meant that she intended for Elegante Group to give up collaborating with other companies! This would not be working in Elegante Group's favor at all! "President Wolf, I know that this is a big request to ask of you, but if you're willing to make Zeller Group the sole proxy distributor of your products, we can make a few changes in the pricing," Julianna said earnestly. She had a natural eye for business, and although Elegante Group only began to gain popularity over the last few days, she could already tell that they had immense growth potential! If she could get in on this before other companies did, it would no doubt be a huge advantage to Zeller Group. However, the cake was only this big, and if Elegante Group were to collaborate with other
"Snow!" seeing that Leon was beginning to waver, Julianna turned to glance at Snow with a pleading look. Snow understood immediately. After a moment's hesitation, she piped up, "Leon, Julianna's a close friend of mine, and it'd be great if you could do her a favor." "Well, okay then! President Song, I'm doing this favor for Snow. I'll hereby grant Zeller Group the sole proprietorship to carry Elegante Group products!" Leon soon came to a decision. Now that Elegante Group just laid down its foundation in the Southern region, it had only a limited ability for production, and if Elegante Group were to work with multiple distributors at once, which included the all-powerful Hughes Group, Leon was worried that they would not be able to keep up with the demands! Instead of this, it was better to offer Zeller Group sole proprietorship, which demanded only a little of them. Besides, Julianna would only be the proxy agent of Elegante Group in the Southern region, and by the time they e
"President Wolf, thank you—and Snow, too—for everything today. I wonder if the two of you will be free tonight for dinner? I'd like to buy dinner as a token of my thanks." Julianna extended her invitation. "Dinner? There's no need for that! I appreciate your kindness, President Song, but this is a business deal that will benefit both of us, so you don't have to go to so much trouble," Leon turned her down, shaking his head. "Don't be so quick to turn me down, President Wolf. Snow and I haven't seen each other in years, and this is also a great way for me to catch up with her over dinner," Julianna added. "Well," Leon turned to glance at Snow hesitantly. "Leon, since Julianna has kindly offered, let's go out with her. I, too, would like to catch up with her," Snow said. "Well, alright then. Thank you for your offer, President Song!" Leon said, smiling. "Okay, see you tonight!" Julianna grinned, then bade Leon and Snow farewell before leaving. The Imperial Suites was one
Leon, Julianna, and the rest slid into their seats in the hotel restaurant's private booth. Julianna gestured for the waiters to serve their meal. While waiting for their food, Leon and the rest engaged in cheerful conversation. However, Timothy seemed aloof and even somewhat distracted at times, not appearing to be interested in joining in at all. The truth was, he was forced to attend this dinner meeting by Julianna. On the one hand, she did so because she thought it would be more polite to invite her husband along, considering that Snow was her old friend and Leon was one of Zeller Group's most important clients. On the other hand, after her brief interaction with Leon, Julianna could tell that he was a wise visionary who had interesting opinions about the future of his company, whereas Timothy, on the other hand, was always impatient and too ambitious for his good. Therefore, she wanted to introduce Leon to her husband in hopes that he could learn a thing or two from him.
"I know that, but I heard through the grapevine a couple of days ago that Cynthion Group has manufactured a few million first-grade and second-grade Energy Nurturing Pills, which means they're highly likely to be looking for proxy distributors to work with! If we can get our hands on this, it will not be long before we monopolize the entire industry!" Timothy said, the glint returning to his eyes. He was fully aware that the Energy Nurturing Pills were capable of aiding martial artists in their training and thus, he who controlled the Energy Nurturing Pills thereby controlled the foundation of all martial arts training! This was no doubt a huge deal—if Zeller Group could get their hands on the sole proprietorship of these products, not only would they be filthy rich, but their reputation would also significantly improve! One could only imagine the magnitude of this, and he was not willing to give up as easily as Julianna did! "Oh!" Leon and Snow finally understood what was hap
"What?" Leon and Snow were both stunned to hear this, but especially Leon—he never once heard Cynthia mention her intention to offer sole proprietorship of the alchemical pills to anyone! However, on second thought, Leon recalled that he focused much of his energy recently on Elegante Group and handed the full authority of Cynthion Group to Cynthia. Knowing her, she probably had a good reason for doing so, and he could always ask her about this in the future! "You can't go, Timothy! I've already told you plenty of times that even if Cynthion Group finally opened up their sole proprietorship, there's no way Zeller Group can even win them over! I'd suggest you pluck your head out of the clouds and see reality for what it is!" Julianna snapped. She knew full well that Cynthion Group was so powerful that they would not simply give out proprietorship of their products willy-nilly, especially not since there was such high demand for their pills. Besides, Zeller Group was not the onl
"What did you say, Snow? If we want sole ownership of Cynthion Group's products, we should speak with President Wolf directly. Why do you think that? Is there anything he can do to help us get there?" Julianna couldn't believe what she was hearing. Timothy was equally perplexed. He cast a doubtful glance at Snow, then at Leon. "Well, you'll have to ask Leon yourself, see if he's willing to help," Snow said hazily. She said that because she was irritated by Timothy's arrogance, but she wasn't sure if Leon would be willing to offer them sole proprietorship or not—only he could make that decision! Julianna, on the other hand, was willing to give her a helpful push in the right direction because she was her friend. "Do you believe that, President Wolf? Can you assist us in obtaining sole ownership of Cynthion Group's products?" Julianna inquired, a tinge of excitement and anticipation in her voice. Although she repeatedly advised Timothy against attempting to win over Cynthion
