Chapter 1689: Chapter 1687: Use People Without Doubt

"My next venture is a technology project, you probably won’t have a place there, would you?" After thinking for a moment, Peter Brown smiled and asked.

"If Reid Nelson can make mobile games, why would I be any worse than her?" Ivy Cooper looked at Peter Brown.

Peter Brown was also surprised; he hadn’t expected even Ivy Cooper to know about it.

Looking at Peter Brown, Ivy Cooper said, "Reid Nelson can’t possibly understand the creation of mobile games, let alone technology. It took me a while to figure it out, but this definitely has something to do with you—you’ve got the capital, and perhaps the ability to produce mobile games, too. Reid Nelson may seem like the boss, but she must be working for you, right?"

Looking at Ivy Cooper, Peter was secretly impressed, thinking to himself how incredible this woman was to have thought of something no one else had considered.

Seeing that Peter Brown didn’t respond, Ivy Cooper continued, "Reid Nelson isn’t really all that awesome. I believe if I were to do it, I wouldn’t be weaker than her. The only advantage she has is that she hasn’t opposed you and has always stood by your side. Now that her mobile game company is prospering, she’s become quite a figure. What does this show? It shows that she made the right choice. Now that I’ve discovered this, I definitely need to make my own choices."

"You really think I can succeed in entrepreneurship?"

With a pursed smile, Ivy Cooper replied, "Everyone sees the difficulties and problems of starting a business in the countryside; I don’t see it that way. I’m looking at you as a person!"

At that moment, Sadie Smith poured a cup of tea for Ivy Cooper, sat down, and began to listen.

"Oh."

There wasn’t much expression on Peter Brown’s face.

"From the developments in the branch office, it’s clear that you’re capable and smart. You chose to start your own business just as you were on an upward trajectory, which everyone found incomprehensible. But I could understand and even see that you were planning something big. You invested a million dollars with your uncle and at least five or six hundred thousand with Reid Nelson. After such a large investment, you still have the guts to start a business, especially when you were doing so well. The only answer I can come up with is that you are planning an even bigger project. If this project is successful, it’s certain to be more profitable than any leadership position at the Group."

Peter Brown laughed and said, "Could it not be that I left because I feared I couldn’t make it anymore?"

"I’ve looked into your situation secretly. Tobia Armstrong trusts you a lot. With him in the Group, you would never have a problem, plus you know how to handle people. Give you time, and you could win over everyone in the Group—you would only rise faster. If you’re giving up such conditions, it means that what you’re planning must be even more awesome. Investing with you at this time, you wouldn’t mistreat a veteran like me, would you?" given your character?

"I was the one who hindered your progress. To say you don’t hold a grudge is impossible, isn’t it? Why should I trust you?" Peter Brown suddenly asked.

Ivy Cooper smiled and said, "There are no eternal friends or enemies in this world. Today, I’ve come to make things clear. To be honest, when I analyzed that you might be the one hindering my progress, I even thought about killing you. But after calming down, I realized that if I were to progress through the bureaucracy, today it might be you targeting me, tomorrow it could be someone else. Those in the bureaucracy must be prepared for such things. I can only say I can’t make it in the Group anymore, so I want to follow your lead. I don’t ask for much progress, just hoping to do better than I did at the branch office. You also know the situation at my home; if I don’t see a significant change, my life will be ruined."

"Can you really endure the hardships of the countryside?"

"Rest assured, I can handle the hardship."

"Alright, for now, you’ll serve as the deputy director of my company’s office. I don’t have much in my company right now, but the first thing I need you to do is get the company’s licenses in order. Can you handle that?"

"I can!"

Peter Brown smiled and said, "I believe that your choice today is the best decision for you."

After seeing Ivy Cooper out, Sadie Smith looked at Peter Brown with confusion and said, "I can tell there’s been bad blood between you two, and you’ve even hindered her career. She’s offered to work at your company—aren’t you worried she might leak confidential information or sabotage your business?"

Sipping his tea, Peter Brown replied, "There’s no absolute loyalty in this world. If someone remains loyal, it’s only because their interests haven’t been swayed yet. Indeed, there are some conflicts between her and me, and I have harmed her interests. But, as she said, if someone in bureaucracy can’t bear the thought of being schemed against, then they shouldn’t be involved in politics. As long as I’m strong enough and offer her enough benefits, she’ll be utterly loyal to me!"

Sadie Smith laughed and said, "You’re always so strategic. I don’t understand all that, but as long as you provide me with a good life, I’ll serve you well."

In the midst of conversation, she cast a flirtatious look at Peter Brown, then went over and knelt in front of him.

As Sadie Smith released the confines of Peter Brown’s pants, she began to move her head down to start her service.

While enjoying Sadie Smith’s attentions, Peter Brown also pondered Ivy Cooper’s situation.

In fact, Peter was really quite calm. He had his own ways of dealing with Ivy Cooper; the first was to control her with silver needles, altering her consciousness—Peter had plenty of techniques for this. Additionally, his System for the information network kept an ear on his subordinates constantly; any small movements were reported to Peter, so there was no worry about uncontrollable betrayal.

Of course, Peter also thought it would be best if those who followed him in the future were made absolutely loyal to him by altering their consciousness without them realizing it.

Peter understood Ivy Cooper’s thoughts quite clearly; this woman had a tarnished reputation in the Group and faced some difficulty progressing. She was a perceptive person, and since she saw potential in allying with him, she naturally had the desire to try her luck.

If she was bold enough to take the gamble, he’d give her a chance; it remained to be seen how far she could go.

What they learned didn’t matter to Peter; he controlled the main technology needed for the next steps, and nobody could learn that from him. He was even less worried about control over the company.

Glancing at the clock, Peter sighed. He hadn’t expected the last one to show up would be someone he himself hadn’t anticipated.
