Chapter 127 Mutually Beneficial

It was Ryan Phillips, my senior at university. Coincidentally, we grew up in the same town. I

heard he had ventured abroad. Besides that, I hadn’t received any news from him for

many years.

I instructed Carol Adams, my assistant, to call him for an interview. Carol was a veteran

employee at Tanum Corporation. Although she didn’t have a higher education, she

possessed impressive business

skills and memory.

She chose to stay with the company because of a conflict with Melanie. Hence, I promoted

Carol to be

my assistant.

When I met Ryan, I could tell he knew I owned Tanum Corporation. While delighted by the

reunion, I didn’t

beat around the bush, “You know it’s me, right?”

He responded with a faint smile, saying, “I do.”

“My company is modest in scale and might not align with your qualifications and

experience,” I stated, “I must also clarify our salary may not meet the standards you’ve

grown accustomed to in larger.

corporations.”

He replied straightforwardly, “Let’s make a deal. You can offer me company shares. I’ll do

my best, and

this arrangement will be mutually beneficial.”

Ryan’s bold proposal surprised me. I wondered if he was after my company. He noticed my

reaction and

chuckled, “What’s wrong? Are you hesitant to try?”

I retorted, “In that case, you must provide a feasibility report. Actions speak louder than

words, and I don’t like empty promises. Remember, I recently parted ways with someone

ungrateful.”

We laughed at my statement. Before concluding the interview, Ryan assured me he would

deliver his

report within three days.

“I know some of the reasons for your divorce. Don’t worry. I’m not like that guy. I’ll create

the most value

for the company and get what I want with my skills.”

I felt ashamed because the whole city knew about my divorce. However, I knew Ryan was

hometown.

Ryan was caring toward me then. We even spent winter and summer vacations together in

our freshman

year. I considered him a brother. Later, I got with Matthew, and Ryan graduated. I heard

Ryan had pursued

his postgraduate education overseas.

After discussing work matters, we had a casual conversation. I couldn’t help but ask about

Ryan’s

whereabouts.

That evening, I called Ivanna and asked her to investigate Ryan’s activities before we

business’s closure.

Transitioning to a new model and mindset was crucial: However, my lack of experience

meant I needed reliable talent to help navigate this transition. I couldn’t let unexpected

straits.

Indeed, Matthew had taught me a valuable lesson.

Soon, I shared my thoughts with Ivanna, even though she worked in a different industry.

Still, she possessed extensive experience in the corporate world. She asked, “Are you

considering moving toward

a shareholding system?”

I responded, “There’s no harm in considering it since I know my limits. Even if I’m resilient,

I can do only so much. Finding capable partners might be the right choice.”

Ivanna nodded. T’ll see what I can find out about Ryan.”

Ryan’s timely arrival felt like a stroke of luck. However, I had to remain cautious and

vigilant.
