Chapter 2173
"I didn't expect you to look so serious but still be so funny." Shannon looked at me with an expression of disbelief.
I sat down. Looking at her, I said, "This is what it means to need extraordinary means at an extraordinary stage. It's so that we have something new to impress the big bosses."
Shannon could not help nodding. "That's right. I was paying attention just now. Everyone was listening with gusto. You did it."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"That's good. At least those big bosses should have been listening."
"That's right."
The weight in my heart finally eased. Now, I had to wait for the result.
The last presentation concluded. "Now, it's time for our big bosses to be troubled. I suppose we can now announce which of the 20 groups you have decided to invest in and offer help."
Immediately afterward, the microphone was handed over to the bosses on one side. The first to make the announcement was the female CEO of Yes Food. "We choose New Food since they're mainly engaged in the food industry. Hence, it would be easier for us to communicate."
There were a total of eight established brands here this time. Although there was no rule that they could only invest in one company, supporting multiple companies would not gather them much result, so they would generally only support one.
Three companies were named so far, and none of them were our company.
Shannon grabbed my arm. I could feel her gradually tightening her hand. I patted the back of her hand lightly. "Calm down. I believe we'll be called." The previous companies were hardly compatible with us, so it made sense why we were not chosen.
I was setting my sights on the last two companies, Firefly Corporation and Dawn Group. Both of them were mainly engaged in import and export trade, so we would be more compatible with them.
As for these two, the one I would like to cooperate with was Firefly.
The first to make their
el
announcement was Dawn Group, who did not choose us. I saw the stars in Shannon's eyes disappear Although I was feeling empty, still comforted her. "It's okay. Even if we have no one supporting us, we can still do it."
Firefly was the last to make their announcement. They were a foreign trade company. We would definitely learn a lot from them if we could cooperate with them.
"Although we, Firefly, were very impressed with Green Orange, we decided to choose the more mature Star Company after various considerations."
It was all over. We lost. Shannon could not hide the despair in her eyes as she hooked my arm. "We failed, Wanda."
"We just failed to get chosen. So what? We can do it ourselves."
"But that will cost us a lot of money. Can we afford it?"
I understood Shannone's worries, but I could only comfort us like this since we had not been selected.
The conference was over. Shannon
and I were about to leave when Marius stopped me. "Sis Wan, your presentation was wonderful. These companies really have no vision for not choosing you."
Seeing Marius exaggerated expression, slowly smiled. "It's

okay. I know you want to make me happy. I'm fine. I had prepared myself for failure. Besides, we're indeed less developed. Shannon and I will be taking out leave first."
Just as I was about to turn around, a man blocked me again. Marius hurried in front of us and protected us behind him. "Who are you and what do you want?"
The man looked at me past Marius. "Miss Lane, our boss would like to offer you an invitation."
"Who's your boss?"
"Mr. Anders, the big boss of Firefly Foreign Trade."
