I Met The Female CEO While Escaping A Blind Date

“If I can’t decide, can you? What a joke.” Zeng sneered.

The smile on William Scott’s face remained. “You’re right. I really can.”

“Pfft…” Delilah Xenos burst out laughing and said, “Aren’t you afraid that you’ll bite your tongue? Are you even one of the higher-ups of our company? Unfortunately, I know all the higher-ups of the company. You’re no such person.”

“You’re right again. I’m indeed not one of your company’s executives, but I can get your company’s executives to handle this matter.”

“You…” Delilah Xenos sized up William Scott again. He was dressed in an ordinary casual outfit and did not have the luxurious aura of a rich person. He also did not seem to have the bearing of a big shot. She immediately chuckled and said, “Alright, then I’d like to see how you get the higher-ups to handle this matter.”

William Scott didn’t waste any more time talking to her. He immediately made a call. The moment the call connected, he said, “My friend Xenia Lewis is looking for financing. Delilah Xenos, your company’s representative for this matter, has a grudge against her.” With that, he hung up.

“That’s it?” Delilah Xenos’s eyes widened. She felt like she had been struck by lightning.

“That’s enough.” William Scott nodded.

“Pfft…” Delilah Xenos burst out laughing again and said, “Xenia Lewis, I can finally see why your company isn’t working out anymore. What kind of person do you have here? He’s simply someone with a low IQ.”

The two people who had come with Delilah Xenos could not help but laugh. This guy sounded like he was giving an order on the phone. Who could order the higher-ups in Millennium Productions Company like that? They had initially suspected that William Scott really knew the higher-ups, but now, they thought that it was impossible.

“Shut up.” Xenia Lewis shouted angrily at Delilah Xenos. “Delilah Xenos, you can talk dirty to me, but you can’t talk about my cousin-in-law like that.”

She also had no idea how to react to William Scott. At a time like this, William Scott was still in the mood to do such a thing. This was too fake. Even if he wanted to scare Delilah Xenos, he should still put up a good show. This was something that could be seen through at a glance.

“Cousin-in-law?” The expression on Delilah Xenos’s face suddenly became interesting. Then, she giggled and looked at William Scott and Xenia Lewis with an ambiguous gaze. She shook her head and said, “Xenia Lewis, you’re making things interesting now huh. Something going on between cousins-in-law tsk tsk…” 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

......

The rest of the people also chuckled as their eyes flashed with a wretched glint.

Xenia Lewis’s face was ashen. She gritted her teeth and said, “You are indeed a shameless person. You only think of dirty things in your heart and think of others to be as filthy like you.”

Her cell phone suddenly rang. Delilah Xenos looked at the number and her gaze suddenly changed. She subconsciously glanced at William Scott, then stood up and quickly answered the call. With a smile on her face, she greeted, “President Jaber!”

“Delilah Xenos, you’re f*cking fired!”

“What?” Delilah Xenos cried out involuntarily, not believing her own ears.

“I said you’re fired. Don’t you understand? Pass the phone to Miss Xenia Lewis.”

“Ah! President Jaber, I…”

“Pass the phone to her!” Boss Jaber roared.

Delilah Xenos’s cell phone almost dropped to the ground in shock. Instinctively, she quickly handed the cell phone to Xenia Lewis and stammered, “Our President Jaber… wants to talk… to you.”

Xenia Lewis couldn’t hear what was on Delilah Xenos’s phone. She looked at her warily but didn’t reach out to take it.

Delilah Xenos quickly stuffed the cell phone into Xenia Lewis’s hands and said anxiously, “Quickly answer it.”

Xenia Lewis placed the phone to her ear and said softly, “President Jaber?”

“Hello, Miss Xenia Lewis. I’m Simon Jaber from Millennium Productions. This time, our company actually sent an unqualified subordinate to discuss a collaboration with you. I sincerely apologize to you now.”

“Ah… President Jaber, you… are too polite.” Xenia Lewis also stuttered.

Simon Jaber, the President of Millennium Productions. Millennium Productions was one of the 10 biggest film companies in the country and had assets of over 10 billion dollars. Such a president actually took the initiative to call her and apologized right away. It was not an apology out of formality, but a very humble apology.

“This is definitely a mistake on our part. It has caused you trouble. I’m really ashamed now. I’ve already fired Delilah Xenos.” f𝒓𝑒e𝙬𝒆𝚋𝘯૦𝘷𝐞𝑙.c𝑜𝐦

“Uh… well…” Xenia Lewis looked at Delilah Xenos. Delilah Xenos’s face was pale as she stood there in a daze. She looked like she had lost her soul. It was obvious that President Jaber was not lying. This scared her even more.

“About the collaboration, I’ll invest five million dollars and take 10% of the shares. What do you think?”

“What?” Xenia Lewis cried out again.

“If you think that’s too much shares, then five percent will do.”

“No, no…” Xenia Lewis was so shocked that she was sweating. “This is too much. Our company’s valuation is only five million in total.”

“No, no, this is because you don’t know your own company well enough. I think even a valuation of five million is too little. If you feel that you don’t have enough funds, then I’ll invest 10 million to take 10%. What do you think?”

Xenia Lewis swallowed hard and forced herself to calm down. She said, “President Jaber, thank you for your kindness. I think it’s very reasonable to estimate the company at five million dollars. I don’t need that much money. One million should be enough. Your company then holds 20% of the shares.”

“That won’t do. That’s too cheap. That won’t do. I think it’s more reasonable to put in five million for 10% of the shares.”

“No, no, five million for 10% of the shares… I really can’t accept that. One million, 20% of the shares.”

Delilah Xenos and the rest were all dumbfounded. What was going on? Although they didn’t hear what President Jaber said, they had a rough idea from Xenia Lewis’s words. Their own company’s President Jaber was such a smart person. When he invested, he had always heavily suppressed the valuation. Now, he actually took the initiative to raise the company’s valuation of five million to 50 million and even increased the investment. Was he crazy?

William Scott was getting impatient as he listened to the two of them pushing each other around. He said, “Xenia, look at the long term. If you want to have a company, you have to make it big. You can only do whatever you want if you have enough funds. Just listen to President Jaber.”

Everyone in the room fell silent as they stared at William Scott.

A phone call! It was just a call from William Scott, and now President Jaber was calling to make all of this happen!
