Chapter 773 Rejection

Wyatt's words elicited a cold laugh from Maya.

"Haha!"

After her laugh, she said icily, "Wyatt, you need my help, and this is how you treat me? Trying to manipulate me like this?" "Maya, it's not manipulation. It's mutual benefit!" Wyatt replied.

"Wyatt, if you claim it's mutual benefit, then show some sincerity! Offering 0.5% shows none," Maya retorted disdainfully. "Maya, you think 0.5% is too low. How much do you want?" Wyatt asked.

"At least 1% upfront. Then, once you receive the final payment, give me another 1%!" Maya declared her terms.

Maya was smart. She knew Wyatt wouldn't agree if her demands were too high. But by asking for 1% upfront and the other 1% post-payment, she made it easier for Wyatt to agree.

Wyatt frowned, deep in thought. After a few moments, he decided to concede.

"Alright! Let's do it your way. Once I sign the contract with TPO, I'll give you 1% upfront and the remaining 1% after I receive the final payment." "Good, we have a deal!"

"Deal!"

"Wyatt, I'll go make the arrangements. You can expect good news soon!" Maya said, getting up and walking away with a confident sway. TMO Washington DC Branch, President's Office

Brittany, dressed in a sharp business suit, was updating Jessica.

"Jessica, after you signed the Golden Light Hill project with TPQ, I immediately reached out to several construction companies. But, oddly, upon hearing it was the Golden Light Hill project, they all refused

"They outright refused? Was it because your quoted price was too low?" Jessica asked, knowing Brittany had a reputation for aggressively negotiating to keep costs down.

"I didn't even get a chance to quote! They refused right away," Brittany explained.

"Why? Did they give a reason?" Jessica inquired, puzzled.

"No, they didn't. They just said their company had too much on its plate and couldn't take on the Golden Light Hill project!" Brittany answered.

Jessica found this very suspicious.

No company would refuse more

business. If they had too many projects, they'd just hire more staff or set up additional teams. Refusing more income was something even an idiot wouldn't do.

The more Jessica thought about it, the more she felt something was off with the Golden Light Hill project. The construction companies must know something she didn't.

As the President of TMO, Jessica couldn't personally meet with the heads of those construction firms she wouldn't be afforded the respect she needed. But if Brittany couldn't handle it, she knew who

could-Daniel.

"This afternoon, go see those people again. Take Daniel with you and replace out the real reason!" Jessica directed.
