To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 4: Katherine's Decision

On the second day, a shocking news made the whole J City was in uproar.

Chengyu Group came out and entered the CBD section of Binhu District to build a cultural and tourist

park in J City and even the province.

Binhu District was currently the most popular and most developed urban area in J City. Binhu District

was the last plan among the developing plans of CBD section. It was large and expensive. No one in J

City dared to take over.

Now it was taken by Chengyu Group. Obviously the boss of Chengyu Group was a big rich man. There

were even some rumors that the big boss behind Chengyu Group was from S City.

In short, everyone in J City was talking about this news now.

Many family businesses were eager to cooperate with Chengyu Group and were actively preparing

tender documents. Once winning the bid, it meant that they could make a lot of money. Besides, they

could use this project to make their family and company famous.

In the meeting room in the Hunt Group.

"Everyone has heard of it."

Old Lady Hunt looked serious, tapping her fingers on the desktop.

"Our family works on both design and construction. If we can cooperate with Chengyu Group, we can

use this to make our family into the ranks of J City's first-class family!"

First-class family! It was an honor.

Everyone in the Hunt Family was excited and looking forward to it.

Ewan, who was already a leader in the company, frowned, "Grandma, as far as I know, many

companies and families went to Chengyu Group to discuss cooperation this morning, but they all

returned to no avail. Our family is just a second-class or third-class family. Will Chengyu Group pay

attention to us?"

"This…"

Everyone's faces were dim. Old Lady Hunt pursed her lips tightly.

For a moment, she said, "No matter what, we have to try. The bidding documents have to be ready

today. I will talk with Chengyu Group tomorrow morning. This task is left to..."

"Grandma, give it to Katherine!"

"Huh?" Katherine was surprised.

She was only nobody in the company. Although capable, she had not been put in an important position.

Today was her first time to enter the meeting room to participate in a meeting, but she didn't expect that

she would have the task.

Ewan looked solemn and said firmly, "Katherine, you haven't done much for the company. This time the

task of bidding is left to you. I hope you won’t let us down. You must win the bid!"

"Win the bid? How ridiculous! She may not even be able to enter the gate of Chengyu Group." A

woman with heavy makeup sneered.

Her name was Maggie Hunt, who thought herself was the most beautiful woman in the Hunt Family.

In fact, she was qualified to say that. In terms of figure and appearance, she was indeed the best.

"Don't be so discouraged. I believe Katherine can complete the task, right?"

Ewan smiled. He had gotten the news that those family business representatives who went to discuss

cooperation with Chengyu Group were all rudely driven out, which was so embarrassed.

He would not do such an embarrassed thing, so he dumped it to Katherine.

"Why don't you speak? It seems that you don’t want to do!"

"Look at her face! Who does she put on airs to?"

Maggie also echoed, "Just answer whether you are going or not. Grandma is waiting for your reply.

Where are your manners?"

"I'll go! I will definitely complete the task!" Katherine said angrily. But after she said it, she regretted it.

Sure enough, there was a burst of laughter in the meeting room.

Ewan felt funny, and said, "Don't laugh. I think it's a good thing to have confidence. Katherine, you have

already accepted the task. Grandma is watching your performance."

"What if you can't complete the task?"

Katherine felt bad.

How could she succeed in getting a project that the first-class family business couldn't get?

Just when she was flustered, her phone vibrated.

Katherine glanced secretly. It was a text message sent by Charlie, with only a few words, "Don't worry.

We can win the bidding."

A simple sentence, like a panacea, inexplicably gave Katherine a lot of confidence. Then she couldn't

help but blurt out,

"If I can't complete the task, I will leave the company."

This time, the laughter was louder.

"It’s so funny. Who gave you the courage?"

"The ignorant are fearless!"

"Don't break her dream. She may not know what cooperation she is going to talk. After all, she has

been at the lower level of the company and has limited knowledge."

Ewan looked contemptuous and felt that he overestimated Katherine.

"Katherine, this is what you said. Grandma and uncles all heard. Don't fool around us at that time."

At this point, Katherine felt that there was no way out, so she asked, "If I complete the task, what shall

you do?"

"Complete the task? Well, give you a little hope. If you can win the bid, I will call your sister in the

future, serve you and wait for dispatch!"

"Deal!"

"Deal!"

Old Lady Hunt didn't say much. In fact, she felt that the Hunt Family couldn't win the bid, so she left

after saying a few words. Axel took Katherine and hurried away.

In the meeting room, there were only a group of young generation.

The pudgy young man sneered, "Ewan, is Katherine out of her mind? She has boasting about winning

the bid. Is she insane?"

"Could it be that she has a trump card?" A woman said.

Ewan sneered, "What trump card can she have? Just wait to see that she gets out of the company like

a crestfallen dog. She is originally the shame of the Hunt Family, and should have disappeared long

ago!"

"Maggie, when Katherine gets out of the company, you will take over her position."

"Why?"

Maggie looked unhappy, and said, "Katherine is doing the lowest level work. I am at least a small

leader. Ewan, don't think that you can weaken my position in the company. On the contrary, you should

flatter me."

"Flatter you? Are you insane as Katherine, right?"

"Ewan, don't get cocky. When I marry into a wealthy family, the head of the Hunt Family will change.

You all have to count on me to give your money!"

Suddenly, Ewan's face was gloomy, "You..."

"What's wrong with me?" Maggie's face was full of contempt, "You know clearly that I am the most

hopeful one to marry into a rich family."

After speaking, she swung her waist proudly and left the meeting room.

Ewan's face sank. Some of the remaining young men looked at each other secretly, making their plans

in their hearts.

...

A heat topic was discussing in J City. But Charlie was not interested in it at all.

At the entrance of Linghu Park. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

After walking for a few hours, Charlie stopped here, "Hey, I can't find any a good environment to

cultivate. Here’s fine."

If he wanted to return to his peak as soon as possible, he had to keep cultivating.

When Charlie found a secluded place in Linghu Park, he was about to start cultivating. A young girl in a

white shirt with a ponytail caught his attention.

The girl was practicing martial art. There was an old man in Chinese suit next to her, coughing from

time to time to point out the mistake the girl made.

They were obviously granddaughter and grandfather. There was a young man in black outfit leaning by

the big tree more than ten meters away from them.

Charlie observed it for a while. Then he felt slightly puzzled. The girl’s martial art was a little familiar.

"I didn't expect to meet a warrior here."

After watching for a moment, Charlie shook his head slightly.

Ordinary warrior cultivated internal force, but as a immortals, he benefited from immortal code, and

what he cultivated was spiritual force.

spiritual force was countless times powerful than internal force.

Besides, although the girl's skills were beautiful, the foundation was weak. Although she had already

had internal force, her internal force was scattered and not condensed. So the power was insufficient.

Even if Charlie was still in the recovery period and he didn't even have one-tenth of the strength of his

peak period, he could easily handle such a group of warrior like this girl.

However, seeing Charlie shaking his head, the girl was not happy.

She had long found Charlie watching her by the side, feeling quite proud. But suddenly, she found that

Charlie shook his head. It seemed that Charlie felt so disdainful with her. So, she felt dissatisfied.

"Enough!"

The girl stopped practicing and walked to Charlie quickly with a cold face, "Why are you shaking your

head? Do you know what I am doing? If you don’t know, just don’t pretend to know. Using this method

to attracting my attention is a bit stupid."
