Chapter 599
“Have you ever thought about the scene where the Korita Group and the Stewart Group cooperate with each other?” Braden said slowly, “In the past few years, the two companies have been in a competition, and the end result was that both of them suffered a loss. I think… if they can reach cooperation, maybe both of them will reach higher achievement, right?”
“Cooperation?” Shirley was a little surprised. She didn’t expect that he intended to discuss business with her. However, she couldn’t figure it out. To The Stewart Group, the Korita Group was just an unknown small company. It was just like a shrimp in the eyes of a big shark. They were not on the same level at all. Even though the Korita Group had developed rapidly in the past two years and seized a lot of market share, it was far from qualified to cooperate with the Stewart Group. This guy suddenly came up with such an idea. Could it be that he planned to “help the poor”?
“Think about it carefully. If you are interested in collaborating, we can discuss the details of the cooperation with Larry next Wednesday.” After finishing speaking, Braden unlocked the car door and said coldly, “If there’s nothing else, you can get out of the car.” At this moment, he was indifferent and completely looked like a businessman. Perhaps, in his eyes, Shirley was just a “business”.
Everything he did tonight was to facilitate this “business”! Shirley was driven out of the car by Braden. She walked alone on the coastal road. It took a long time to get a taxi and returned to the city center. At this time, May called her and said in a cheerful voice, “Ms. Wilson, where are you? I have good news to share with you. Mr. Larry is back!”
So fast?Shirley didn’t expect Braden to be so frank. There was an overjoyed expression on her face, “Okay, it’s great to know that Larry comes back. I’ll be back home right away!” She returned to the ‘Crimson Pawnshop’ as quickly as possible. Shirley found there was a tall man standing in the hall. He was tall and sturdy, wearing a familiar mask. It was none other than Larry.
“Larry, are you okay?!” Shirley rushed toward him excitedly and looked at the man up and down to confirm that Larry was sound. Then she was relieved.
“Shirley, don’t worry. I’m fine. That guy is a coward, and he didn’t dare to beat me at all. If they didn’t drive me away today, I would have planned to live with them.” Larry put his hands in his pockets, pretending to be chic and relaxed. He looked as if he just went on vacation and was not affected at all. After all, he had been fighting with Braden for so many years and he had gone through many difficulties. Thus, he had long been used to it. Shirley sighed and said with a worried expression, “Larry, it is not easy to deal with Braden. This time you escaped from his control by chance. But how about the next time? Have you ever thought…don’t provoke him in the future?”
“Don’t provoke him anymore?” Larry’s expression immediately turned cold, and his tone was extremely disappointed, “Shirley, are you fascinated by him? You left your child and me behind in the past six months. You ignored the rising Korita Group and ran to take care of a useless person from the Stewart family. I don’t say anything about it. But now… you actually asked me to stop competing with Braden. Don’t you know how serious the situation is? Do you know that Braden intends to wipe out our group?”
“Larry, what do you mean by that? The Stewart family and the Wilson family have always been friends, and the two support each other. The Stewart family has never been the enemy of the Wilson family.”
“Shirley, you are so stupid…” Larry frowned and said earnestly, “There are no eternal friends or eternal enemies in this world. There were only eternal interests. The Stewart Group is a great threat to us. When there is a conflict of interest between the Korita Group and the Stewart Group, they will definitely take the initiative to ruin our group, just like they ruined “Crimson Pawnshop” back then. I just hope you can be well- prepared and don’t give him the chance to attack us!”
“No!” Shirley shook her head and said in a firm tone, “The Stewart family is not that despicable, and Braden is not so ruthless. Just think about this case, he had the opportunity to hurt you, but he let you
go because…he hoped that we could turn hostility into friendship for win-win cooperation!”
“Win- win cooperation?” Larry narrowed his eyes and was lost in thought. Seeing that Larry’s attitude relaxed, Shirley hurriedly added, “Yes, instead of fighting and getting a loss, it is better to let go of the hatred and reach a win-win cooperation!”
