The receptionist shook his head to interrupt Jason and politely turned him down with a smile, "I'm sorry, this is what the CEO ordered."
Jason looked at Luke helplessly. He did not expect someone to stop them.
"The briefcase," Luke said.
Jason immediately handed the briefcase to Luke.
Luke took out a file from the briefcase and handed it to the receptionist. "Can you hand this document to your CEO?"
"What is this?" the receptionist asked.
"Documents not related to this tender. However, these documents are important to him," Luke said.
The receptionist hesitated. If there was money or something else in the file, he would be criticized if he handed it to the CEO.
The CEO had been furious since he knew that some departments were secretly changing the bidding requirements. He postponed the meeting, scolded the relevant personnel, and imposed administrative penalties. Some people even lost their jobs.
He dared not take the risk.
"This is a document related to your CEO. I'll only hand it over this time," Luke added.
If what Luke said were true, the receptionist might lose his job if he turned down the document.
"Wait here. I'll deliver the file to the boss." The receptionist agreed, took the file, and walked to the CEO's office.
"Boss, are you sure the CEO of M Group will agree to see you?" Jason returned to standing behind Luke.
"Definitely," Luke said.
Luca listened to the conversation between the two and did not say anything. ‘Why does Luke want to meet the CEO of M Group? Is it because of the bidding?'
Based on what the receptionist said, the CEO of M Group seemed to attach great importance to this bid. He was insistent on upholding fairness and justice.
Still, Luke insisted on seeing him.
That was not how he usually did things.
Luca was even more curious about the file he had handed to the receptionist.
After a while, the receptionist who had just left returned and said respectfully, "Mr. Crawford, Mr. Marcos saw the document and said he wants to meet you. Please come with me."
"Wait for me here," Luke said and maneuvered his wheelchair.
The receptionist walked behind him and said, "I'll push you."
Luca watched Luke and the receptionist left. She became even more curious as to what information was in the file.
She did not ask because maybe Jason did not know either.
"Dr. Craw, are you tired?" Jason asked out of the blue.
"I'm not tired." Luca shook her head. She had great strength to begin with. She was wearing flat shoes today, so she was not tired even after standing for a long time.
"Okay." Jason nodded and asked, "Do you know what's in the document that Boss handed over?"
"I don't know. Do you know?" Luca was a little curious. 'Hasn't Jason been carrying the briefcase the entire time? Won't he know what the document is about?'
"I don't. Although the file has been by my side, I never dared to open it since the boss didn't say anything," Jason said. He thought it was hopeless for them to meet the CEO of M Group, but unexpectedly, the CEO wanted to meet with Luke after Luke handed the file over. Têxt © .
It seemed that the document in the file, as Luke said, was important to the other party.
As Luke's special assistant, the most important thing was to protect the boss' privacy. Jason would never explore the secrets that Luke did not want to be known.
Jason did a great job. Otherwise, Luke would not have kept him around for so long.
In the office of M Group's CEO.
The receptionist pushed Luke in. "Boss, Mr. Crawford from T Corporation is here."
"I see. You can leave now." Marcos stood up and walked to Luke. He knew a little about each bidder, so he was aware that Luke had gotten into an accident. As such, he was not at all surprised when he saw him in a wheelchair.
He bent down and held out his hand politely. "Hello, Mr. Crawford."
"Hello." Luke held out his hand and shook it politely.
Marcos had prepared coffee. He invited Luke to the table and said, "Mr. Crawford, coffee for you."
"Thanks for the hospitality." Luke took a polite sip and put down the coffee. He looked at the man across from him and waited for him to speak.
Marcos glanced at the time. It was almost time for the meeting, so he skipped the small talk and went straight into it. "Mr. Crawford, I don't have much time, so I'll get straight to the point. How did you get that document?"
"A friend gave it to me," Luke said.
"Why did he give you the document?" Marcos continued to ask. That document was important to him because it was about his family.
However, he also wondered why such an important file was given to Luke and not directly to him.
If that person wanted something for it, it would make more sense for them to talk to him directly since they could find out this information. What Luke gave, he could give.
"This information is useless to him, but he thinks it'd be useful to me," Luke said while he rubbed the briefcase with his fingers.
"What do you want?" Marcos asked directly.
"Mr. Marcos, don't worry. I have another file that you need." Luke took out another file from the briefcase.
The document Ray gave him was very thick. He deliberately divided it into two stacks to see if Marcos would agree to meet him.
If he chose not to see him, this other document would never fall into his hands. The one given previously contained only half of the information.
"This is the other half?" Marcos frowned. When he just looked at the document, he felt that although the document was useful, it was not perfect.
The one Luke was giving him now must be the perfect missing piece and the information he needed.
"Yes, this one is also for you," Luke said.
Marcos took it without hesitation because he desperately needed this document. It was related to the history of his family. He wanted to become the head of the family. This document would be of great help to him.
Marcos' family was complicated. It was not easy for him to become the CEO of M Group. If he did not become the patriarch as soon as possible, his CEO title might be removed at any time.
"I won't take your documents for free. Do you want to win this bid?" Marcos thought that Luke was giving him the documents in exchange for the winning bid.
"No," Luke shook his head.
His answer surprised Marcos. "Then what do you want?"
"What I want is very simple. When the meeting starts, please make the proposals of all the bidders public," Luke said. He exchanged such important information with Marcos to find out who was blackmailing Luca.
