Chapter 766: 762: He has a good foundation, so he can perform for a while
Soon, Richelle’s face appeared on the screen.
“Master, what can I do for you?”
Sonia glared at her, “You’re so heartless; can’t I call you even if there’s nothing happening?”
Richelle immediately broke into a radiant smile.
“What are you talking about, Master? I’ve been thinking of you! Your call just relieved my loneliness.”
Sonia was amused by her.
“Alright, alright, no need to keep sweet-talking me. I just had a meal with Roy Lewis, and I took his pulse.”
Richelle’s expression became tense, “How is he? Is he severely weak?”
Sonia clicked her tongue, “Not that bad, he has a good foundation, and he’s recovered quite well in all aspects. It’s not as terrible as you described.”
Richelle’s expression relaxed a bit.
“As long as he’s not seriously ill, I was really scared when I saw his face last night.”
“Don’t worry, his foundation is good, and he can still hold up.”
Richelle was speechless.
“Master, you didn’t say that to him, did you?”
Now it was Sonia’s turn to be speechless.
“I’m not a fool, why would I say that to a patient, so that he can deliberately invite trouble?”
Richelle giggled, “I knew Master was the best!”
Sonia ignored her fawning and asked her.
“Today, he talked to me about betrothal gifts. I said there’s no need for anything, just treat you and your children well. Or, you can think about it now if there’s anything you want, and I’ll talk to him later.”
Richelle shook her head, “He has already transferred all of his shares and property to me and our children. As for the rest, whether I want them or not, he’s given me everything!”
Sonia nodded, “In that case, I won’t need to ask him for anything else. Also, I agreed with him on your wedding, we’ll all go to Kindur to attend it, so don’t think about going back to South Asia and hosting any small banquets or anything.”
Richelle stared at Sonia, “So, Roy Lewis had dinner with you today to discuss our betrothal gifts and wedding?”
Sonia looked at her like she was an idiot.
“What else? Why do you think he came out to have dinner with an old lady like me for no reason?”
Richelle laughed, “To please you, of course! You’re the mother-in-law, isn’t it only natural for him to want to perform well in front of you?”
Sonia retorted, “That’s not necessarily true. You two already have your marriage license, and you’ve had children together; even if he treats you a little colder, what’s he afraid of? You running away?”
Richelle giggled, “Well, let him try treating me like that.”
Sonia asked her again, “Have you talked to him about the lab?”
Before, Sonia had mentioned to Richelle that she wanted to change the person in charge of the lab to Richelle.
On one hand, she was getting old, and her energy was no match for that of young people.
On the other hand, Richelle possessed all the qualifications to be in charge, and with the support of the Lewis Group behind her, they believed the lab would be even stronger in her hands.
Richelle seemed to suddenly remember this matter.
“Not yet, we’ve both been busy lately, and some things are not convenient to discuss over the phone, so I plan to talk to him about it around Mid-Autumn Festival.”
In addition to being busy, Richelle was also a little worried that her proposal might be rejected by Roy.
“Hurry up and discuss it with him. After Mid-Autumn, I’ll apply for the change.”
Richelle said “oh” and they ended the serious conversation, shifting to the topic of their children.
“I bought two tickets for Tifanny’s competition. Let’s see if I can exchange them for seats closer to yours.”
After talking for half an hour, they ended the call.
As for Roy Lewis, after leaving the lab, he returned to his hotel.
The staff who had gone out for a meal together had come back by now, and they were gathered in his presidential suite’s study to discuss the negotiations for tomorrow.
The secretary quickly brought him a cup of tea. Roy took a few sips and then asked everyone, “How’s it going? Any ideas?”
As the representative, Benjamin Fred shook his head.
“No, the main reason is that tomorrow’s negotiation is quite tricky; we’re stuck at a certain point, but we can’t figure out where it is.”
Roy looked closely at the PowerPoint on the big screen and quickly said, “Have you all fallen into a misconception?”
Benjamin and everyone else were confused.
“Misconception?”
Roy nodded, “Are you thinking that like today, you want to crush the other party with overwhelming strength, leaving no room for them to struggle, and then we can take advantage to get the most favorable conditions?”
Everyone exchanged glances.
After a while, they all nodded their heads one by one.
Roy continued, “Don’t be misled by the smooth negotiation yesterday; time-consuming, frustrating and unfavorable terms–that is the norm for negotiations.”
Roy’s words woke everyone up from their illusion.
Benjamin smiled at Roy, “If you had come back later, we might have been trapped in these delusions forever.”
Benjamin was very grateful that Roy led the team this time.
If it had been him, he wouldn’t have known anything about these matters.
