Chapter 420
Chapter 328 For the next two or three days, Maggie focused solely on the Capital Smart Traffic Platform project. To make sure her proposal was airtight, she even did several field inspections. Finally, she submitted the bid before the deadline. Johnny received the update and texted her back: “Nice work. You’ve been working hard.” He’d been busy too. In addition to running the company and managing the Wilson Corporation partnership, he’d attended two networking banquets.
After those events, several execs from autonomous vehicle companies had reached out to him. He planned to evaluate their current status before making any decisions. Meanwhile, things were going smoothly between Cole and Wilson Corporation-they’d already moved on to the next stage of collaboration. To celebrate, Franklin invited Johnny and another partner to dinner. Johnny wasn’t a fan of Franklin, but he had to admit: Wilson Corporation deserved its stellar reputation.
Working with their engineers had been quite productive. That said, there were some unpleasant moments. For example, they often ran into people from the Brown and Green families. Johnny didn’t even bother saying hello-he just left. Watching him go, Sophia smirked and whispered to Julia: “Since my brother-in-law’s company partnered with Cole, that bitch’s been showing up nonstop, acting like nothing can move forward without her. But now? She’s totally vanished these past few days.
Must’ve been a blow, huh?” She was referring, of course, to how Franklin had gifted Julia that hotshot Wilson Tech autonomous vehicle company, which had been making waves in the industry lately. After Franklin left, Sophia beamed. “No matter how hard Maggie works, so what? Johnny would never hand her a billion-dollar company.
She could work for a lifetime and never reach the starting line you’re already standing on.” “She schemed for years just to marry my brother-in-law, even had his kid-and what did she get? Not even a fraction of what you received as a casual gift. Hilarious.” “If I were her, knowing how casually he gave you all that money, I’d be crushed.” Julia simply smiled and said nothing.
