Chapter 127 Mutually Beneficial
It was Ryan Phillips, my senior at university. Coincidentally, we grew up in the same town. I
heard he had ventured abroad. Besides that, I hadn’t received any news from him for
many years.
I instructed Carol Adams, my assistant, to call him for an interview. Carol was a veteran
employee at Tanum Corporation. Although she didn’t have a higher education, she
possessed impressive business
skills and memory.
She chose to stay with the company because of a conflict with Melanie. Hence, I promoted
Carol to be
my assistant.
When I met Ryan, I could tell he knew I owned Tanum Corporation. While delighted by the
reunion, I didn’t
beat around the bush, “You know it’s me, right?”
He responded with a faint smile, saying, “I do.”
“My company is modest in scale and might not align with your qualifications and
experience,” I stated, “I must also clarify our salary may not meet the standards you’ve

corporations.”
He replied straightforwardly, “Let’s make a deal. You can offer me company shares. I’ll do
my best, and
this arrangement will be mutually beneficial.”
Ryan’s bold proposal surprised me. I wondered if he was after my company. He noticed my
reaction and
chuckled, “What’s wrong? Are you hesitant to try?”
I retorted, “In that case, you must provide a feasibility report. Actions speak louder than
words, and I don’t like empty promises. Remember, I recently parted ways with someone
ungrateful.”
We laughed at my statement. Before concluding the interview, Ryan assured me he would
deliver his
report within three days.
“I know some of the reasons for your divorce. Don’t worry. I’m not like that guy. I’ll create
the most value
for the company and get what I want with my skills.”
I felt ashamed because the whole city knew about my divorce. However, I knew Ryan was
my senior in
high school and university. Among everyone at Foswood University, only we came from
the same
hometown.
Ryan was caring toward me then. We even spent winter and summer vacations together in
our freshman
year. I considered him a brother. Later, I got with Matthew, and Ryan graduated. I heard
Ryan had pursued
his postgraduate education overseas.
After discussing work matters, we had a casual conversation. I couldn’t help but ask about
Ryan’s
whereabouts.
That evening, I called Ivanna and asked her to investigate Ryan’s activities before we
reunited. After all, his information would be vital for my plans.

business’s closure.
Transitioning to a new model and mindset was crucial: However, my lack of experience
meant I needed reliable talent to help navigate this transition. I couldn’t let unexpected
obstacles trip me, or I’d be in dire
straits.
Indeed, Matthew had taught me a valuable lesson.
Soon, I shared my thoughts with Ivanna, even though she worked in a different industry.
Still, she possessed extensive experience in the corporate world. She asked, “Are you
considering moving toward
a shareholding system?”
I responded, “There’s no harm in considering it since I know my limits. Even if I’m resilient,
I can do only so much. Finding capable partners might be the right choice.”
Ivanna nodded. T’ll see what I can find out about Ryan.”
Ryan’s timely arrival felt like a stroke of luck. However, I had to remain cautious and
vigilant.
