Araceli POV
I smiled, "Actually, more than the Dobbs family, I think Eclipse Group should cooperate with Navi Group."
I raised my eyes and continued, "Navi Group's newly developed navigation system is the world's leading one, and it can be applied to all of Eclipse Group's products. This will greatly enhance the functionality of our products."
Melany suddenly laughed, "Araceli, you're so naive. Don't you know that Navi Group is a French technology company? They think so highly of themselves that they never work with American companies. I've gone to contact them several times, but each time I was rejected at the beginning. Do you think it's possible for you to make contact with them?"
Benjamin sneered, "Ms. Chancey, stop fucking bragging! Even if Navi Group was willing to work with a company in the U.S., it's unlikely that Eclipse Group would be on their short list."
I smiled and said, "Mr. Camden, thank you. To be honest, I know the head of Navi Group's Marketing Department. He told me that he was recently looking for a partner in the United States."
The room was instantly silent.
Everyone knew that connections were one of the most important parts of a business partnership.
Benjamin was shocked and said, "Really? Do you really know the head of Navi Group's Marketing Department?"
I nodded my head. "Of course. If you don't believe me, I can contact him and get this partnership."
I looked over at Melany and smiled as I saw jealousy in her eyes.
Melany pushed her annoyance down and said gently, "Araceli, are you sure that person is the head of Navi Group's Marketing Department? If that person is just a manager, maybe it won't help."
I raised an eyebrow and said, "I know everyone is questioning my abilities. How about this? I'll be in charge of getting the partnership with Navi Group."
Melany frowned. "Araceli, you really don't have to do this if you're doing it to win over me." She smiled and gently suggested, "I really contacted Navi Group many times before. They said that they would never work with us. Aren't you afraid of being humiliated by them?"
I smiled, "It'll be fine. But if I get the partnership, I hope to get a job at Eclipse Group. Mr. Chancey, would you be willing to give me this opportunity?"
I stared at Zackary.
However, Melany got anxious all of a sudden.
She knew that with my current strength, if I took a job at Eclipse Group, she would never be able to get a higher position.
"Araceli, you're wasting our time!" Melany said, "If you really want to do something for Eclipse Group, maybe you can talk to Royal Group..."
I raised my eyebrows, interrupted her and smiled, "I said I would get Navi Group for this project. I only need two days."
I knew that not many people here believed me, but they knew that if Eclipse Group did get a partnership with Navi Group, they wouldn't have to worry about profitability for the whole year.
Benjamin coughed twice and said, "We can give you a week. Ms. Chancey, if you can really negotiate a partnership with Navi Group on behalf of Eclipse Group, you can be the marketing manager of Eclipse Group."
Melany wanted to say something, but Zackary gave her a look, signaling her not to say anything, so Melany had to shut up and didn't say anything else.
I sneered inwardly.
Melany took a deep breath and said, "Araceli, I hope you can think clearly before you make a decision. Otherwise, if you ruin our group's reputation, you'll have to give up your shares."
I said indifferently, "OK. If I don't get the contract that Navi Group has already signed in two days, I will give up all my shares in Eclipse Group. "
Melany's eyes suddenly widened. She was even a little ecstatic.
I raised my eyebrows and continued, "But if I make it, I'm going to get the position of Head of Marketing."
Melany bit her lip and couldn't say a word.
I finished, picked up my handbag, turned around, and walked out of the conference room.
In fact, all I had to do was make a phone call, and I could have signed a contract with Navi Group.
However, I didn't want to do that because I didn't want them to be afraid of me in the first place. Like a frog boiling in warm water, I would let them feel desperation slowly.
I had just walked out of the conference room when Melany caught up with me. "Araceli, wait. Can we talk?"
I turned around and said coldly, "I don't want to talk to you."
"How about we make a deal?" Melany lifted her chin. "Name a price. I will buy all your shares."
"Are you serious?" I deliberately opened my eyes wide in shock and said, "Eclipse Group's stock price has dropped so much! Do you still want to buy my shares? OMG... Well, I can sell them to you for 500 million bucks."
All my Eclipse Group shares were worth only 100 million dollars at most.
To my surprise, Melany nodded and said indignantly, "OK, but if I buy your shares, you have to promise me one condition..."
I frowned slightly. "What is it?"
"I want you to leave New York and never come back."
Melany stared at me, gritting her teeth.
I stared at Melany's troubled face and smiled, "Melany, don't think I don't know that you sent someone to kill me last time. Unfortunately, those losers didn't make it. By the way, I slit the throats of all of them and watched them die."
Melany immediately yelled, "Araceli, what are you talking about? I'm just trying to get you out of this place that's breaking your heart... I'm protecting you! Don't you know what people are saying about you?"
"Fuck you, Melany. You want me out of here so badly because you're afraid I'll expose everything you've done, right?"
I got closer to her and smiled.
"Melany, what are you afraid of?"
Melany's breathing became faster. She suppressed her anger and said, "Are you fucking crazy? What are you talking about? Araceli, don't be ungrateful! I'm telling you, if you don't leave New York, I'll find a way to make you disappear. I'll do what I say."
