Chapter 236
“This makes sense. But Nina, with that face and figure, is truly stunning!”
Nina was still unaware that she had caught someone’s eye. Because of what Nash had said, she was doing her best here to help the newcomer, Serene.
Serene was by her side, aware that Nina was not feeling well today, and even took the initiative to help block the alcohol. She had a strong tolerance and carried herself with grace and confidence.
Since Nina did not drink, Serene could indeed share a lot of responsibilities with Nash on behalf of her. Serene was also able to address the issues raised by the collaborators one by one, and even earned praise from them.
They were praising Nash. “Mr. York, where did you find such a gem?”
“Mr. Larson, have you ever heard of the saying ‘A gem cannot be polished without friction, nor a man perfected without trials’?” Serene effortlessly countered with just one sentence.
She likened herself to a stone, shaped by both Nina and Nash, while also flattering Mr. Larson. As long as Mr. Larson was willing, he too can nurture others. This single statement flattered several individuals at
once.
Even Nina had to concede Serene’s excellence. It would not take Serene much time to earn Nash’s complete approval, which was a good thing. It could be considered that Nina had achieved her goals and could now step back, leaving behind someone useful by his side.
Mr. Larson laughed heartily, “Mr. York, this is truly the younger generation surpassing the older. The student has indeed surpassed the master.”
As Mr. Larson praised Serene in front of Nina, she herself did not think much of it, but Nash instinctively glanced at her who remained indifferent.
Serene was enthusiastically discussing cooperation with Mr. Larson. Nina felt a bit tired standing there and realized she was not needed anymore. She thought of going to the small round table, but unexpectedly, someone approached her with a glass of champagne.
“Nina.”
The man across the table was dressed in a silver-gray business suit and wore black-framed glasses.
“Mr. Zimmer.”
Nina nodded. She had some impression of this man. He was from the construction industry. Previously, Nash had a piece of land in his hands, a key project for the government, and had conducted open bidding with several partners. Mr. Zimmer was among them.
Out of courtesy, Nina smiled, “Mr. Zimmer, if you have a project to discuss with Mr. York today, he’s over there with his team. You can talk to him directly.”
Nina thought she could leave after saying this, but to her surprise, Mr. Zimmer still stood in her way, blocking her path. “Nina, I’m not here to see Mr. York. I’ve come to see you.”
“Me?” Nina was puzzled. “Mr. Zimmer, I’m resigning soon. It’s no use looking for me. York Corporation has strict rules, and I can’t engage in any cooperation with you behind Mr. York’s back.”
“Nina, I’m not here to discuss cooperation with you. I’ve heard what those people said. Since you’re considering resigning, why not come to my side?”
Before Nina could finish her sentence, Mr. Zimmer interrupted her. He even reached out and grabbed Nina’s hand.
Nina recoiled as if she’d been shocked. “Mr. Zimmer, are you drunk? Please behave!”
“Drunk? Nina, I’m completely sober. After you leave York Corporation, with your background and experience, who would dare to hire you? But I’m different. As long as you’re willing, I can help you.” Mr. Zimmer stared at Nina with lust in his eyes.
Nina tried to avoid him, but Mr. Zimmer blocked her tightly. Just when Nina thought she could not escape…
