Sir, Madam Dispeared Again After Divorce! -
Chapter 422 I Did All This for Sydney
Sydney had thought about this problem before, and she had also looked for some companies in the same industry as Skylight Corporation. However, it had no point in cooperating with those smallsized companies, and in turn, the other party was also unwilling to cooperate with a company with no good prospects. As a result, Skylight Corporation hadn't developed new partners yet.
Skylight Corporation could still run smoothly at the current stage, but if it didn't have any new partners for a long time, it would once again face a major crisis. This was because if Skylight Corporation only relied on its cooperation with several subsidiaries of the Flint Corporation, its profit would be insufficient to support its subsequent capital operation. Honestly speaking, Sydney couldn't even repay the 1.5 billion dollars she owed Julien.
So it was imperative to find new partners as quickly as possible.
In addition, Julien had said that as the largest shareholder of the group, she should broaden her horizons and have more social connections. This coincided with her own thought.
The business world was complicated with intertwined interests, and people in it tended to group with each other. If one fought alone, he would only be eliminated in the end.
Only by building more relationships and broadening her horizons could Sydney know her own shortcomings and gain greater benefits; otherwise, she would be jointly excluded by others in the business world. With this in mind, Sydney suddenly understood why the Old Madam sent her such a set of jewelry.
She took a deep breath and stared at Julien with a blank expression. "Mr. Flint, Grandma wants me to make friends with those business elites at her birthday party, right?"
He was glad that she understood this so quickly. With a hint of appreciation in his eyes, he nodded slightly. "Yes, this is Grandma's purpose. If you want to make friends with these people and get more chances for cooperation, you must make yourself look worthy of cooperation. If you wear an ordinary dress and cheap jewels, those people will think that getting acquainted with you won't bring them any benefits, and they probably won't even give you a chance to say hello. Understood?"
This was the cruelty of reality!
Although he wanted to take her to meet those bigshots in person, he knew that even if she had this intention, she would refuse.
This was because she didn't want to rely on him too much. Since that was the case, he could only come up with this method and send her jewels in the name of Grandma, so as to help lay a stepping stone for her to expand her social connections. As for the rest, he would let her fight for it herself.
It was also a great opportunity for her to exercise her social skills.
Of course, he would always pay close attention to her. If she failed, he would secretly strive for more opportunities for her.
He hoped that she would become more outstanding and have a better career.
"I see." Sydney nodded and felt a warmth inside. "I will accept the jewels. Please help me thank Grandma for considering so much for me."
To be honest, during her six years in the Flint family, only the Old Madam was kind to her. Whenever Sydney was in difficulties, she would lend her a helping hand.
At that time, the center of her world was Julien and she didn't want to leave him. The Old Madam suggested many times that she should go to the old residence and stay away from Velma and others, but she refused and chose to stay in the Flint family's villa. Therefore, she had fewer opportunities to be filial to the Old Madam.
She was no longer Julien's wife, but the Old Madam still did so many things for her. She really didn't know how to repay her kindness.
"You're welcome," Julien replied with a smile.
"Huh?" Sydney frowned suspiciously. "I asked you to help me thank Grandma. Why did you say this?"
Julien moved his thin lips and remained silent. His mood was somewhat complicated.
The jewels weren't sent to her by Grandma, but by him, so he could say "you're welcome".
But he couldn't tell her the truth; otherwise, she would definitely throw the jewels back to him.
"Forget it. I'll call Grandma later to thank her, and I won't bother you to do this." Sydney curled her lips and said.
By the way, she would tell the Old Madam that she would live up to her expectations by gaining some chances for cooperation at the birthday party.
Also, she would tell her that she would take good care of the jewels and return them to her after the party was over.
"OK. You can convey your gratitude to Grandma yourself. It's getting late and I should go now. Please take a good rest." Julien looked at his watch and stood up.
If he didn't have an important meeting later, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to leave.
Sydney nodded and stood up. "Goodbye, Mr. Flint. Erika, please walk him to the door.
"Yes, Ms. Raines." Erika made a gesture of invitation to Julien.
Julien looked at Sydney. "I'm leaving."
Sydney nodded.
Julien looked at her face for a few seconds before withdrawing his eyes. Then he walked towards the porch.
Erika sent him out of the door. "Mr. Flint, please be careful on the road."
"Well, take good care of her. Also, don't let her know that the jewels are my mother's," Julien said.
If Sydney knew the truth, she would definitely refuse to wear them.
Before Julien's mother committed suicide, she wrote in her suicide note that all the jewels she left behind would be given to her future daughter-in-law.
In the past six years, he didn't give Sydney what he should have given her, but in the future, he would give all those valuable properties to her.
In his opinion, whether they divorced or not, Sydney was still his wife.
Even if Sydney didn't forgive him, he would keep her by his side. In a word, he absolutely wouldn't allow her to be with other men. As long as he thought of this possibility, he would be filled with anger. "Please rest assured, Mr. Flint," Erika responded with a smile.
"You can go back now. She can't see anything, so don't leave her for too long. She needs someone by her side." Julien waved his hand and said.
Erika nodded and closed the door.
Julien didn't walk toward the elevator until he heard the door being closed.
After he took a few steps away, his phone rang. He took it out and had a look, only to find that it was the Old Madam calling. He answered the phone and said, "Grandma."
"Julien, why didn't I know I was going to hold a party for my eightieth birthday? I remembered telling you that I was unwilling to hold a party as a celebration. For me, having a meal with the whole family is enough, and you agreed with me at that time. Why did you change your mind now? Also, why didn't you let me know your arrangements?"
She continued in a cold voice, "All my good friends knew before me that I was going to have a birthday party. You are really filial to me."
Julien knew that she was unhappy. Pursing his lips, he coughed slightly. Having no intention to hide the truth, he said, "I'm sorry for not informing you in advance. Please forgive me."
"You don't have to apologize. You have sent the invitations to guests, which means this party must be held. It's too late to blame you. Just tell me why you suddenly changed your mind," the Old Madam asked grumpily.
Julien turned to look at Sydney's apartment door. "I did all this for Sydney.'
"Sydney?" The Old Madam was stunned to hear this.
Julien nodded. "Yes. Skylight Corporation has no good prospects now, which will do harm to its long-term development.
Besides, Sydney has great ambitions to expand the company's business, but she doesn't have enough social connections..."
"So you want to pave the way for her career through my birthday party?" The Old Madam snorted.
Julien lowered his eyes. "Sorry, Grandma."
Actually, he had long wanted to give Sydney a platform to further develop Skylight Corporation, but he just didn't find the right opportunity.
That was why he decided to take advantage of his grandmother's eightieth birthday, which was indeed a great opportunity. Also, sending those jewels to Sydney in the name of Grandma wouldn't make her doubt that the birthday party was actually held for her.
The Old Madam could imagine Julien's guilty look now, for he must feel sorry for
using her birthday party to help his beloved woman. She shook her head helplessly. "You silly boy!"
