Chapter 556 What Comes Next

At this point, Wyatt shifted his tone. “I believe, Maya, that you are a loyal person and wouldn't let medown. After we finish with the tourist town project, I am certain that you'll introduce more profitableventures to me. Of course, I wouldn't forget my old classmate. We should all make money together—that’s the rule I understand well!”

Since Wyatt had put it like that, of course, Maya agreed! While the decision-making power for theGolden Hill tourist town project wasn't in her hands, with her connections at The PerkinsOrganization, she was absolutely capable of securing the project for Wyatt.

Snagging a cool billion for herself and then winning another from the bet, making two billion in onego, the thought was incredibly tantalizing.

Maya didn't rush to agree, instead putting on a troubled expression, she said, “Wyatt, you're abusinessman! You've been dealing in business for years, and you must understand the rules of thegame. You should know that even if you gave me a billion, that money isn't mine. After all, I ammerely a Public Relations Manager at The Perkins Organization.

While I have good relationships there and am familiar with various departments, knowing how towork the system, and whom we need to secure to guarantee the tourist town project for HarmonyGroup, just managing those relationships, the bribes alone, would consume a substantial sum—notto mention the effort, the favors, among other things. So even if everything goes smoothly, out of thebillion you give me, I wouldn’t keep more than ten percent.”

What Maya said was clearly not true. How could she possibly spend ninety million on bribingothers? Even if some bribes were necessary, she would replace reasons to have Wyatt cover the cost.The billion Wyatt would give her was all hers; she wouldn't give away a penny.

Wyatt wasn’t a fool; he didn’t believe that Maya would spend ninety million on making connections.Still, he smiled and thanked her in advance, “I thank you in advance, Maya, and wish you success.

Rest assured, my old classmate, that if you pull this off, I won't let you down. There will be ahandsome reward for you once it's done.”

Of course, Wyatt's words were not sincere; it was just a courteous response. If Maya succeeded, hewould indeed feel grateful, but his gratitude would definitely come with strings attached.

As for what those additional terms would be? That would remain to be seen.

Wyatt did business steadily and strategically. The Perkins Organization was a behemoth, theleading financial powerhouse in the USA. Collaborating with them wasn't something that happenedovernight; it required patience.

In short, the partnership with The Perkins Organization needed to be secured one project at a time.

As for Maya, her role as a Public Relations Manager was just a minor one. Wyatt's ambitions weremuch grander. His goal was to win over Logan, the Chairman of The Perkins Organization.

Logan was not only the chairman but also the steward of the Perkins family. Securing his supportmeant Wyatt wouldn't have to worry about wealth and status for the rest of his life.
