Chapter 2 Let's See How Long You Can Hold On

It was him who abandoned her at that time, and this time he came back and stole her project.

Why did he act as if she had offended him?

She didn't think about it anymore, because Dixie, her assistant and friend, had just came.

Dixie paid for her and went through some follow-up procedures. She returned to the ward and looked at her with concern. "Greta, what happened? Why did you jump out of the car? "

"Nothing. I met a bastard. Something happened." Greta said indifferently.

"Even if you meet a bastard, you can't do such a dangerous thing! Did he... "

As Dixie said, a tinge of sadness appeared in Greta's eyes. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something, "wait, you said that bastard... Is it him? "

A bitter look appeared on Greta's face.

Both she and Dixie knew who he was, even if she didn't say his name.

Back then, she had been roommate with Dixie in College for three years. Dixie had seen that she was with Maurice several times. She was clear about what had happened between her and Maurice.

"Really? He really came back! Then how are you going to... "

Before Dixie could say anything more, Greta interrupted her. "Assistant Dixie, did I have an appointment with Mr. Li for lunch? It's almost time. Please help me prepare it. "

Dixie was stunned. Once she called her Assistant Dixie, it meant that she had opened the working mode.

"But the wound on your leg..."

"The Gu Group is in danger now. This small injury is not a big deal." Greta said calmly and got out of bed to make preparations. The Gu Group was the only industry of her parents, but in recent years, because of the market fluctuation, there was a problem in the company, and even the salary of the workers could not be paid. She tried her best to win the opportunity to participate in the bidding.

But...

Maurice left the hospital with a long face until he drove back to the Chu Group.

He strode to his desk, squinted at the documents about Greta handed over by his assistant, turned around and asked coldly, "have you done that?"

The assistant was stunned and quickly lowered his head. "Mr. Maurice, I have told all the companies in the J City what you said. I believe that no one dares to cooperate with Miss Greta in the future."

"Well, not bad."

Hearing that, the coldness around Maurice faded a little.

"Mr. Maurice, may I ask... Why did you do this to Miss Greta? "

The assistant asked nervously and curiously.

It seemed that Miss Greta had never offended the Chu Group, and Mr. Maurice was so mean to her... It seemed that he was too cruel.

"That's what she deserves!"

Maurice said coldly. He narrowed his eyes and looked out of the window. There was a determined look in his eyes.

'Greta, let me see how long you could hold on before you came to me.'

I would wait and see!

In JY Hotel.

Greta limped to a seat by the window, and Mr. Li was waiting for her.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Li. I had an accident and kept you waiting. "

Greta shook hands with Mr. Li apologetically, thinking that this inconvenient leg took up time, otherwise she would not be late in front of her most important client.

Seeing that she was badly injured, Mr. Li smiled kindly and said, "Mr. Greta, you are so badly injured. I'm already moved that you come to see me. I don't mind waiting a few minutes."

Hearing this, Greta felt a little relieved.

There was something wrong with the Gu Group in the past few months, and many companies were unwilling to cooperate with Gu Group anymore. She had to maintain a good relationship with the Li Group.

"Mr. Li, I really appreciate your support for the Gu Group. As for the cooperation between the Gu Group and the Li Group, I plan to give up another 5 percentage points."

"Thank you..."

Before Mr. Li could finish his words, his phone rang. He made an apologetic gesture and his face changed when he picked up the phone. He looked at Greta with embarrassment, and then kept saying, "yes, yes, yes."

After hanging up the phone, he said awkwardly, "Miss Greta, I'm sorry. I can't cooperate with you this time."

what?

"I have something else to do." he stood up and was about to leave. "Don't worry, Mr. Li. The dishes are ready. Let's go after dinner." Greta spoke in a hurry.

Looking at her anxious look, Mr. Li sighed, "Mr. Greta, I want to take care of you, but I really can't cooperate with you this time!"

"Why, Mr. Li?"

Greta was confused. Everything was fine just now, but why did it suddenly change? Did it have anything to do with the phone call just now?

Mr. Li sat down with guilt, but he couldn't say a word.

"Because he wants to cooperate with me." A cold voice suddenly came.

Her heart skipped a beat. When she raised her head and saw the noble man not far away, she was shocked.

'Maurice!

Why was he here?'

When Mr. Li saw him, he immediately stood up and gallantly reached out to hold his hand. "Mr. Maurice, please sit down."

Maurice casually shook hands with him and sat down beside Greta.

"Why did you come here, Mr. Maurice? I was about to visit you. " Mr. Li poured wine for him and greeted him warmly.

Hearing this, Greta felt sad.

"Mr. Li, I'm going to talk to you about the cooperation with the Li Group another day. What do you think? "

"Of course, it's up to you, Mr. Maurice."

"Mr. Maurice, Mr. Li and I decided the cooperation first. Isn't it good for the Chu Group to meddle in it again?" Greta couldn't help but try her best to seize the last chance.

"Miss Greta, it's my fault. I will compensate you for some of your losses. " Mr. Li also felt a little guilty, but his heart to cooperate with the Chu Group did not change.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Greta and Mr. Li haven't signed the contract yet." Maurice suddenly interrupted, casting a cold glance at Greta, "there is a chance to change the contract at any time before it is signed. Miss Greta has been in business for several years. Don't you know that? "

Greta took a deep breath and thought, 'this man was just looking for trouble!'!

But she didn't allow him to humiliate her!

Greta looked at him indignantly and said, "Mr. Maurice, you should know that first come, first served, right? Before I was about to sign the contract with Mr. Li, you suddenly stepped in without any regret. Are you too unreasonable? "

"Miss Greta, since you said morality, you should respect most is the intention of the partner." As if Maurice was not affected by her anger at all, he raised his hand and took a sip of the wine gracefully. "Mr. Li, who do you want to cooperate with the most? What do you think?"

All of a sudden, the two eyes were focused on Mr. Li.

Mr. Li looked at Greta with guilt and said, "of course it's Mr. Maurice. You are absolutely the strongest in the film and television industry. "

Looking at Greta indifferently. "Look, this is Mr. Li's idea." Maurice said.

Greta was red with anger. "Maurice, you did it on purpose! You stole my project in the bidding, and now you are stealing again! What do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Mr. Li quickly stood up to leave. "Mr. Maurice, Miss Greta, I have to go now. Take your time. "

Seeing this, Maurice also stood up and said expressionlessly.

"I have something else to do. I have to go now. Please help yourself, Miss Greta. "

"Maurice!" Looking at the untouched dishes on the table and then at the back of Maurice, Greta gritted her teeth and squeezed out his name.
