Expert Down The Mountain by Summer

“Do you know about the International Prosperous Project?” Cyrus asked. 

Ekialde was slightly stunned before he asked, “Don’t you know about it? The company has been preparing for this project for around five months.” 

“Is the probability of them getting the project high?” Cyrus asked. 

“That, I don’t know. But I think the probability is quite low. I heard that they have already decided on who is getting the project. The person with the greatest support will be the one getting it.” 

“Does Haco Corporation have someone supporting it?” 

“Of course! I heard that the person supporting Haco Corporation is quite powerful. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been avoiding going up against Haco Corporation over the years of development.” 

Cyrus then thought about what Eos had said and asked, “Is Gardner Corporation going to go bankrupt if it doesn’t get the project?” 

“That’s an exaggeration, Cyrus. Gardner Corporation isn’t a small business. It won’t go bankrupt so easily. It’s just a project. If they can’t get it, then they can just do something else!” Ekialde said. 

“But what if they can’t get the other projects as well?” Cyrus asked. 

“Um…” Ekialde scratched his head. “I don’t think that’ll happen…” 

Cyrus gave up on asking for Ekialde’s opinion. This rich boy clearly did not understand these things very well. 

“In any case, these things have nothing to do with us. Even if the company collapses, the higher-ups will handle it. Let’s just leave it to Uncle Lufian and the others!” Suddenly, Ekialde became really excited. “Do you know Marino Hunt? That man is one of the leaders of Fliton City, but he died today!” 

Cyrus’s facial expression cracked, and he smiled. “Why are you so excited?” 

Ekialde became even more excited. “You don’t understand, Cyrus. Since Mr. Hunt has died, his position will be up for grabs, and plenty of people will want to take his place! 

“Why do you think Haco Corporation can develop so smoothly in Fliton City? It’s because Mr. Hunt obeys them and has done plenty of their dirty work for them. 

“If the person who replaces Mr. Hunt is from Gardner Corporation, we’ll have a much easier time…”
