Chapter 200
There are always some objections , 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 , I 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 . I 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 I 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 time to 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 . ”
