Joanna hesitated, “A Melta pediatrician?”
“Yes, he’s an authority in the field of leukemia treatment. I want to meet him and seek some
information.
“If it’s true, it would be great to have him help treat Lilia.”
“Okay, then.” Joanna didn’t object.
It was in the evening, a little past eight.
Bruce went to Zachary’s club as planned.
They were inside a VIP private room.
“Mr. Garcia, Mr. Everett has arrived.” A server led Bruce into the private room.
Zachary promptly rose to his feet and greeted him. “Bruce, what an honor seeing you here. You’ve
been so engaged.”
Bruce smiled faintly and replied, “I have been quite busy lately, and I couldn’t find the time.”
“Alright, alright, I know you’re a busy man. I won’t take up too much of your time. Come, have a cup of
coffee. I knew you were visiting here, so I brought some good coffee beans from home!” Zachary said
as he personally brewed the coffee.
Bruce sat down on the sofa and asked directly, “Is that Melta doctor you mentioned reliable?”
“Oh, that doctor’s name is Miles. Here’s his business card. You can contact him right now.” Zachary
paused for a moment and took out a business card from his bag, handing it to Bruce.
“I’ve already spoken to him on the phone and briefly mentioned your daughter’s condition. You can talk
to him in detail to see if there are any better treatment options.”
“Okay, thanks.”
“Of course!” Zachary chuckled drily and then casually poured a drink on the coffee table. Suddenly, he
remembered that Bruce didn’t drink, so he quickly poured a cup of coffee instead.
“Drinking coffee is not very exciting. How about a glass of wine?”
Bruce accepted the coffee cup and smiled, “No, if I drink alcohol, I’ll end up quarreling with my wife
when I go back.”
Zachary teased. “Wow, look what become of Mr. Everett. I never expected you to be the first among us
to get married and the first to be tied down by a woman.”
Bruce took a sip of coffee and smiled lightly.
Among the trust fund babies of Greyport, he was indeed the first to get married. But now, he had
become a wealthy and successful man, his influence had completely surpassing that of his parents‘
generation.
Yet, after his grandmother passed away, since he had no family left, he felt even more lonely and
longed for a family.
The two of them exchanged teasing remarks with each other.
Suddenly, Zachary changed the subject, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, “By the way, I heard
that you’re close to several officials in Porash. It was quite difficult to get approval for the Green Bay
project, but you managed to do it. I guess these officials helped you a lot behind the scenes. Can you
introduce me to them? Give me some pointers?”
Bruce paused for a moment and said, “With such a wide network you’ve got, do you still need me to
introduce you?”
“I’m telling you seriously. I’m also planning to invest in a project in Porash, and the approval documents
may be difficult to get. That’s why I came here specifically to learn from you.” Zachary said with a
slightly guilty look in his eyes.
“You don’t have to worry. Once the project is approved, I’ll give you a 10% stake.”
As Bruce heard it, he furrowed his brow, deeming that Zachary was acting strange today.
Although they had been good friends since childhood and had always been close, Zachary had always
been envious of him. and never sought his advice.
Moreover, their business philosophies were completely different.
“Zachary, you seem strange today,” Bruce said, tilting his head and looking at him intently.
Zachary felt even more uneasy but tried to appear calm. “What’s strange? I’m just the same as usual.
“You know, I’ve invested in several projects before, and while I made some small profits, there hasn’t
been much significant gain. So, I’m thinking of trying my luck in Mossbourne, Zachary explained.
“What kind of project do you plan to do in Porash?” Bruce asked.
“A nightclub, of course. As you know, running a nightclub requires the support of local officials,”
Zachary replied.
Chapter 461
Actually, I invited you here today mainly to learn from you and explore the possibilities,” he continued.
Bruce didn’t ask further but simply replied, “Well, if you need it, I can introduce you to those officials.
But as for the rest, you’ll have to figure it out yourself)”
Seeing Bruce falling into the trap, Zachary immediately asked, “So, can you tell me about their
preferences? I want to be prepared and cater to their tastes!”
Bruce’s expression turned slightly grim, and he didn’t answer.
Private connections in business world are often kept secret, especially when dealing with officials.
He couldn’t afford any leaks or slip–ups, which could lead to trouble.
“It’s nothing out of the ordinary, you know. No need to ask me,” Bruce replied vaguely.
“I know that dealing with people requires some sacrifices. I understand that these officials won’t easily
accept money from strangers, Zachary said dismissively.
“How did you bribe them? Tell me, I want to learn it.”
Bruce’s face turned stern. He stated, “Mossbourne isn’t as corrupt as you think now. It’s not a big
problem for anyone to run business there, if he does business properly and does not violate the law.”
Hearing that, Zachary pursed his lips and said disdainfully, “Come on! When dealing with people, no
matter where you go, you have to build relationships there. And if you don’t, don’t expect your business
to run well.”
Bruce’s face turned livid, and his tone gradually became impatient. “Alright, alright, I don’t argue with
you. It’s getting late, and I should go back.”
With that, Bruce stood up to leave.
After so many years in the business world, he learned to stay alert all the time. Even with the people he
trusted the most, he maintained a certain level of caution.
He would help with introductions, but the details of his interactions with others, except for himself,
would not be disclosed.
to anyone.
“It hasn’t been half an hour, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”
“Didn’t I just tell you that if you need anything, I can introduce you! The rest is up to you!”
“Come on, Bruce, I really need the information.” Zachary persisted, trying to steer the conversation
towards sensitive topics.
Unfortunately, Bruce refused to reveal a single word.
“Mr. Garcia, in the business world, there are unwritten rules. You know them too, there’s no need for
me to teach you!” Bruce said.
“Bruce, if you don’t want to tell me about it, just say it. Don’t be so hypocritical,” Zachary said
dejectedly.
“It’s not that I don’t want to help, it’s just that I really can’t! Alright, I really have to go now,” Bruce
shrugged and made a helpless expression. “My wife is very strict with me; she only allowed me to stay
out for an hour.”
Seeing that Bruce insisted on leaving, Zachary was a little frustrated. “Who can believe it? Mr. Everett,
the Mr. Everett, is a henpecked husband!
“With your current status, you can have as many women as you want. Why do you have to limit
yourself to one woman! By the way, it’s only nine o’clock now. Let’s chat for a while more!”
“I really can’t. I have to go back to the hospital for my daughter.”
Despite Zachary’s attempts to make him stay, Bruce insisted on leaving.
