It was impossible for them to create a new proposal for such a large-scale project in less than 2 hours, let alone come up with another that would surpass the quality of the original design. Well, at least none of them could.

‘Tanner has returned to Rodcaster, right? Is it possible to get in touch with her? Maybe she has some ideas?’ Suddenly, Tyler Hopkins, one of Irvin’s close friends, thought of Tanner, who was especially popular in Rodcaster recently. According to the rumors, she’s a very amazing figure!

After Ethan read Tyler’s text, he quickly replied, ‘It’s difficult.’ Because of his father, Ethan had always wanted to contact Tanner. Yet, he couldn’t find heads or tails of her until today. Thus, from his point of view, getting in touch with Tanner would be a challenging task, not to mention that Irvin only had less than 2 hours left.

As a matter of fact, in an effort to help Irvin, he even gave the manager of the Knight Group’s planning department a call. Alas, much to his dismay, he received an answer saying that it was absolutely impossible to create a proposal involving 50 million dollars in less than 2 hours.

The reason why he didn’t take over his family business, the Knight Group, was primarily because he wanted to establish a career all by himself. Then secondly, it was because he wasn’t interested in business-related affairs.

Since his father, Lawrence, had always been a figure who was relatively democratic and liberal when it came to his household, he never forced Ethan to dive into the world of business. As a result, even though one could find the companies owned by the Knights nationwide, Ethan didn’t have a deep understanding of their business-related affairs.

For that reason, he really couldn’t help Irvin with this matter, even if he wanted to.

At the same time, other members in the group chat, who had their own businesses, also called the respective heads of their companies’ planning department. However, they all received the same answer as Ethan—impossible!

As Irvin’s close friends, they would definitely lend him a hand whenever he faced trouble. Nevertheless, they couldn’t help him with this, for even their money and influence couldn’t help Irvin this time.

Actually, they all faced the same challenge; the time limit was far too short. In addition, the original proposal created by Irvin was already of good quality in the first place. Hence, it took more work to develop another that could surpass his old proposal in such a short amount of time.

When Irvin knew that none of his close friends could help him, he stopped sending any more texts regarding this issue. As a result, the group chat fell silent for a moment, and everyone stopped chatting.

They all knew that Irvin had poured blood, sweat, and tears into the bidding of the Eastburgh Design Project. Therefore, they knew that this project was vital to Irvin. As a matter of fact, this project held the key to determining his future in the Thorne Enterprise, his family business.

Frankly, none of them wanted to see things end in such a situation. Unfortunately, this was precisely how things worked in the business world. As the people in the industry said, ‘Business is as fierce as war.’, which indeed summarized the cruelty of the business circles rather elegantly.
