Chapter119
“My mom wasn’t in good health, and that’s the experience I got
from taking care of her.”
Elias said oh and then didn’t know how to keep the
conversation going.
He was a tech nerd, not very good at socializing, and had no
experience dealing with girls.
Cecily just knew this and kept teaching her how to chase girls.
Taught him a lot of methods, but Elias had no idea how to use
them.
The words went around in my mind, but when I was about to
say them, they automatically turned into work stuff, “Did
everything go well today?”
“Good thing, I still had two more companies to visit this
afternoon.” Her tone was still pretty relaxed.
But Elias clearly saw there was a blister on her heel from her
high heels.
He didn’t ask again, just pressed the call button, called the nurse,
and asked her for something to treat the wound.
Britney thought he was hurt and was about to ask what happened.
Elias just handed her the stuff and told her to take care of the wound on her heel.
Britney herself didn’t even notice the injury on her heel, she was totally focused on the project.
“Do I really have to wear high heels? I think I could wear something more comfortable,” Elias said.
“Good image management not only helped improve personal
professional image, but also increased clients‘ trust.”
Elias suddenly understood, “So that’s how it was.””
Actually, during this time, other investment companies also
approached Elias, but he turned them all down.
Seeing Britney work so hard, he was hesitating about whether
to contact her again.
So as soon as Britney left, Elias called everyone one by one to
ask.
Those people were still really interested in his project, but as
Chapter119
soon as they heard Elias say there were already seed round
investors, they all started making excuses to turn him down.
After all, with this kind of project, getting in late just meant a
smaller share and higher risk.
Unless bigger capital came in during the angel round, nobody
wanted to follow up.
This was also the reason why Britney kept running into
obstacles lately.
Even though reality was pretty harsh, Britney’s attitude was
actually pretty good.
This was the stress tolerance she built up from years of running
projects.
When she first got involved in the project, it was Rodrick who
taught her everything step by step.
It’s just that the way he led people was pretty strict, and his
standards were high.
Once there was something not done well, they would harshly
criticize it without any mercy, and wouldn’t allow it to happen
again!
Chapter119
Under these high standards, Britney improved really fast, and her ability to handle pressure got better too.
So this kind of situation was a piece of cake for Britney, she
couldn’t possibly be knocked down.
Back then, she thought Rodrick was training her, helping her learn to do projects on her own.
Looking back at how much he cared for Bianca, I realized I was
overthinking it.
What kind of exercise was there?
It was just not caring, just letting it be.
Only his first love, Bianca, who was kept at the top of his heart,
could get all his care.
Just when Britney thought she wouldn’t get anything done
today, she got a call from Mr. Colton at Nexus Capital.
He made it clear he was interested in Britney’s project and asked
her to meet at Cedar Club to talk about it.
Britney checked the time, it was a bit late.
