Chapter 230: Locke’s Plan
“That’s great! The Casey family owes you! Hahaha! Awesome!”
Locke pretended to be ecstatic. He jumped up from the sofa!
Sphinx was also very happy!
After leaving the business card, he stood up and said, “Then, you can stay in Water City for a few more days! With our business card, you can use it at all the retail transaction points in Water City!”
After taking two steps, Locke quickly stopped him. “Mr. Vice President! You’ve helped me so much! I must thank the president in person! Can you introduce me to him?”
Locke had thought about this long ago. If he could get in touch with the leader of the other party, he would have a chance to pry into the secret of the Chamber of Commerce.
Sphinx seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma. He smiled politely and said, “This… I’m afraid this won’t do. Our president doesn’t really meet outsiders…”
“Sigh! Don’t be like this! Our Casey family has a rule. If someone helps you, you must return the favor! We’ll immediately arrange for an antique to be sent over! You must hand it over to Mr. President personally to express our grat.i.tude! Since this matter will definitely succeed, then I should at least be treated as a friend, right? If he still doesn’t want to see me, it will make feel very insecure!”
At this crucial point, Locke knew that Sphinx would never dare to offend him. It was the most appropriate time to make such a request.
After thinking for a while, Sphinx said, “Uh… I don’t have the final say in this matter! I’ll go back and ask! Please wait for my news!”
After Sphinx had left, Belinda rushed out and asked, “Will it work? I always feel that the other party is on guard…”
Locke returned to his usual calm and indifferent expression. He picked up a green apple and sat back on the sofa. “It shouldn’t be a big problem. After all, I’ve already acted very frankly.”
Then, he sent a text message to d.i.c.kens asking him to send something over.
“Let’s go out and eat! Someone’s paying anyway! Pick the most expensive one!” After turning off the phone, Locke was ready to go and change his clothes.
Belinda had never partic.i.p.ated in such an easy operation before. Day after day, it was either eating or playing.
If it was not for Bauer and the others constantly contacting her, she would really feel like a tourist!
“Oh right! Can you not sneak into my room without notice? My arms are getting sore!” Locke changed into a simple casual outfit.
“Hmph! Isn’t it just borrowing your shoulder? How stingy! No matter how many times you beg me, you won’t get such treatment!” Belinda said with her hands on her hips.
Locke put on his sungla.s.ses and said with a smile, “You’ve misunderstood! What I mean is, next time, please wake me up! I feel like I’ve wasted my time, I could’ve done something!”
“Hooligan…” Belinda’s face turned red as she rushed into the room to change her clothes.
Locke could clearly see that before Belinda’s face turned red, she had a smile on her face.
“Hehe, so what if she’s two years older than me? She’s still a little girl…”
In the morning, Locked realized that this girl was not as charming and casual as she looked.
On the contrary, she was very insecure.
Although Belinda had hugged his arm and fell asleep, judging from the details, she was a very well-behaved person.
Perhaps it was just as she said, she really could not sleep well so she needed a safe harbor.
Locke did not know what was weighing on her mind.
However, if there was anything, it was better to finish the mission first!
“Rumble…”
Locke’s stomach growled and he shouted, “Hurry up! I’m hungry!”
…
In the president’s office, Sphinx had already reported Locke’s request. He was standing with his head down, waiting for a reply.
“What’s wrong with you? I said that I don’t like to see outsiders! Have you forgotten about this? You should decisively refuse his request!”
The president seemed to be very resistant to meeting outsiders and he frowned as he shouted.
Sphinx had long thought of a response and said slowly, “President! Please listen to my thoughts!”
“Speak!”
After a nod, Sphinx continued. “I think Casey is someone worth roping in! We can consider letting him join the Chamber of Commerce!”
After saying this, the president and his secretary, Deborah, narrowed their eyes.
“In our previous contact, I found that this guy doesn’t seem to care about spending 20 billion! This is very different from other businessmen who are meticulous!
“I suspect that his a.s.sets are more than 50 billion! After all, this kid is still young. If he can be controlled, he’ll definitely be of great help to the future plans of the Chamber of Commerce!
“If we agree to meet him, we can consider it as an inspection! You’re experienced and knowledgeable, so you’ll definitely be able to see the potential of this kid!”
The president did not immediately express his opinion. Instead, he frowned as if he was thinking about something.
Sphinx did not dare to say anything and waited quietly. He was still suspicious. ‘Did I say something wrong? Did I make him unhappy?’
A few minutes later, Deborah broke the silence. After putting down a cup of coffee, she smiled and said, “President! I think what the vice president said makes sense. Why don’t we meet him?”
“Hmm… Then, let’s do it in three days! Arrange a dinner!”
“Yes, President!” Sphinx immediately agreed but in his heart, he muttered, ‘You immediately agreed when the woman asked you to do so? Are you two having an affair?’
However, Sphinx’s face was still respectful. After saluting, he walked out of the office.
In the afternoon.
In a pool square.
Belinda’s blonde hair looked especially beautiful under the sunlight. She was feeding the pigeons in her arms with breadcrumbs.
Such a leisurely life made her sigh. “Sigh! If only I could live like this every day. There would be no worries…
“Oh, right? Does what you said about buying a house in Water City count?”
Locke drank his coffee and deliberately teased her. “A house? Oh! Then do you want to consider becoming my maid or something like that? That way, you can live here!”
“Hmph! I knew that men are all bad…” Belinda was naturally joking.
She also knew that as a royal agent, it was absolutely impossible to live a stable and leisurely life! Moreover, she still had an important mission.
Previously, Belinda was just casually thinking about it to seek comfort in her heart.
After taking in a breath of fresh air, Belinda stood up and said, “I’m going to meet the captain later. I’m going to the bathroom first! Wait for me!”
Just after she left, Locke found a speedboat in the distance heading in his direction.
There was a beautiful and eye-catching woman on the boat…
