Chapter115
The beginning was always tough, starting a business wasn’t that
easy.
Stay calm and keep going.
Britney casually took a couple of sips by the street, then visited Timothy Gates from Fortune Harbor Capital according to the schedule.
Timothy was pretty polite, not like those other people who just stopped answering Britney’s calls after they found out she left Royarch Capital.
He looked through Britney’s project proposal carefully. Judging by his expression, he was actually interested, but his attitude was clearly hesitant.
“Do you think there was something wrong with the proposal?” Britney asked politely.
Timothy shook his head, “The plan was perfect.”
“So what are you hesitating about?”
“Did you know Ms. Webster from Royarch Capital also did an
Chapter115
AI project recently?” Timothy asked Britney.
Britney was honest and said, “I don’t know.””
Timothy said, “Before, Mr. Livingston brought Ms. Webster to
our dinner. She mentioned it at the dinner, and I remembered it
very clearly.”
Rodrick spoiled Bianca, and Britney knew it.
But she didn’t expect that he would spoil her to this extent.
He personally took her to dinners with people in the investment
circle, and even let her talk about her own project at the
dinners.
Back when Britney was Rodrick’s secretary, she also got to join
this kind of dinner.
But back then, she wasn’t qualified to sit at the table. Most of the
time, she just helped Rodrick block drinks on the side.
When she wasn’t drinking, she even waited outside the door.
After all, at these dinners where all the big shots in capital got together, they talked about business secrets that regular people couldn’t get access to.
But Rodrick openly brought Bianca along, personally helped her
Chapter 115
build connections, and created opportunities for her…
Britney couldn’t help but think.
How much did Rodrick really love Bianca, to go all out like that just to pave the way for her?
Timothy was interested in Britney’s project, but after all, he was a businessman and cared about profit.
He closed the proposal and didn’t beat around the bush with Britney, just said what he thought.
“I actually thought this project was really promising, but you know, the economy had been going down a lot these past two years, and the capital market was a real mix of good and bad. To play it safe, everyone just stuck together to lower the risk. You get what I mean, right?”
“Got it.”
So Timothy asked her, “Have you thought about showing this project to Mr. Livingston?”
“If Mr. Livingston invested, I definitely followed!”
Timothy said seriously, “Ms. Harrington, you should know the saying ‘it’s easier with strong backing! In terms of resources, I
Chapter115
preferred Ms. Webster’s project. After all, she had Mr.
Livingston supporting her.”
And behind her, Britney, there was no one.
Who would want to vote for her?
***
When she came out of Fortune Harbor Capital, it had started raining outside and she didn’t even know when.
Not big, but cold enough.
Winters in Riverton were always like this, cold and damp whenever it rained, the chill going straight into your bones.
Rhonda sent a message and said it was snowing in Brighamont, the first snow of the year, and asked if she wanted to go see the
snow.
They both grew up in Riverton and hardly ever saw snow, so they had this strange love for it.
Britney was pretty interested.
But in the end she still said, “Girl, maybe next time, I’ll watch the snow with you next time. I have a project that isn’t settled yet, so I wouldn’t be able to relax even if I went.”
