Chapter 200
There are always sobjections, but nothing that will have a major impact,” Ethan said.
“Whenever the company secures a good project, the other shareholders naturally want their own people
involved. But Mr. Fleming rarely assigns personnel himself-people can’t start complaining the moment he finally
does, right?
“Besides, the Lockets and the Shaws are indeed competent and follow the rules, so overall, it doesn’t cause
much disruption.”
Matthias had heard enough. “Alright, | won't keep you from your family. Let's have a meal together next time.”
Ethan replied, “Sure, next time.”
After he left, Matthias turned to Celeste. “Let's head inside.
Celeste nodded. “Mm.”

After finishing their meal and returning to the office, they were informed that Jorge was there to meet them.
Neither Celeste nor Matthias had any intention of meeting him. But Jorge didn’t leave.
By evening, when Celeste got off work and headed to the parking lot, he called out to her. “Ms. Rodriguez.”
She turned around, her tone indifferent. “Mr. Robinson, what do you need?”
Jorge looked at her. “Let's talk.”
Celeste countered, “Do you really want to talk, or do you mean you wish to reprimand me?”
Jorge paused, then said, “I'm serious. | hope you can put aside personal grudges and focus on business. Don’t let
personal matters cloud your judgment and harm your company’s interests.”
Celeste was honestly impressed.
She responded, “I thought that was something | should be saying to you, Mr. Robinson.”
After all, it was him who let his feelings for Wynn interfere with their negotiations. And yet, in his version of
events, she was the one being unreasonable and abusing her authority.
With that thought, she lost interest in continuing the conversation. Ignoring him, she got into her car and drove
away.
Jorge's expression darkened.
Just then, his phone rang.
After answering the call, he, too, got into his car and left.
Half an hour later, when he entered a private dining room, Xavier and Caleb were already there.
Seeing his sour expression, Xavier asked, “What? The negotiation didn’t go well?”
Jorge had already gone to YodaVision two to three times in the past few days. But, Matthias had refused to see
him every time.

As the saying went, only the one who tied the knot could untie it.
So, Jorge had sought out Celeste, hoping to talk things over with her instead. But recalling her completely
unyielding attitude, he shook his head.

“If things aren't working with Matthias and there's no progress with Ms. Rodriguez either, then honestly, securing
the YodaVision project is looking pretty unlikely,” Xavier commented.
“But hey, if you can’t get it, then so be it. There are plenty of profitable projects in the world-you don’t have to
go after this one.”
Jorge shook his head. “I've looked into the YodaVision project thoroughly, and I'm genuinely interested in it.”
Even if Theodore didn’t push him, after studying the project, he himself wanted to be involved.
“Well then,” Xavier said, “maybe it’s tto find another approach?”
At that, he glanced at Caleb and said, “Oh, right, Caleb-when you two were dancing last time, didn’t you have a
pretty good conversation with her? She seemed to have a favorable impression of you.
“Since she won't listen to Jorge, maybe you could mediate and help ease tensions between them?”
Caleb had been sipping tea. Upon hearing this, he set his cup down and said, “I don’t have that kind of
relationship with her. It wouldn't be appropriate.”
