Shrouded Affections Winning Back My CEO Wife

Chapter 305:

The person who came to meet Eileen was Wayne Murray, about forty years old.

The doubt in his eyes was obvious. He looked into Eileen’s sincere eyes for a few seconds before he shook her hand and led her into the company.

Before Eileen arrived, she had thoroughly investigated and learned about the company. So, when projects were mentioned, she jumped in, pointed out the problems, and quickly offered solutions. There were some urgent issues that needed fixing, so she stayed in the company lounge for a few days. She didn’t act like she was pregnant at all, which impressed Wayne.

But others remained skeptical and negative towards her.

“Since we started this, we’ve finished many small projects, but we haven’t landed any big ones. Now, our department’s R&D project looks promising, but we’re short on funds. The spare money from the Freguson Group is gone, and we need to find investors ourselves,” John Finch, the other person in charge of the branch, spoke up.

He wasn’t confident in Eileen and looked down on her a bit.

So, he quickly gave the tough job of finding an investor to Eileen.

“We need up to a billion dollars. Only venture capital can handle that, but they’re very picky. Our small company isn’t on their radar.”

“Then why did you send me to do this?” Eileen listened and asked. “Are you looking forward to them shutting me out?”

“I don’t mean that. I just think that since the Freguson Group sent you, you can solve tough problems. So, you can handle this one too,” John replied. “Don’t butter me up.”

Eileen looked over the project papers and said, “I was sent by the Group to help with cooperation, not to take the blame. If you want me to discuss a partnership, I’m in. But if you want me to take the fall for not finding an investor, sorry, I can’t do that.”

After all, she wasn’t looking to freeload without pitching in.

If there was truly no other option, she would approach venture capital. If there was even a slight chance, she would give it a shot.

After John heard Eileen’s words, his face flushed, but he stood his ground. “In that case, go talk to them. We’ve got your back.”

Eileen glanced at him, narrowing her eyes slightly.

She headed back to her office with the project materials, and Wayne soon walked in.

“Eileen, don’t take it personally. Going to ZJ Venture Capital is just one strategy. If it falls through, we’ve got backup plans,” he said.

Eileen smiled politely. “Let’s go for the most challenging but promising route. I’m curious about venture capital.”
