Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Ms. Nora?
Was it Ms. Nora?
Compared to half a year ago, when she was in New York, she seemed to have lost some weight and had become more beautiful. If not for those familiar lazy almond-shaped eyes when Nora walked on the streets, Royce would not have recognized her.
But what was Ms. Nora doing here?
Royce was a little stunned.
As he stood there, the people behind him thought that Nora had blocked the way. Someone immediately asked, “You are?”
Nora glanced at Liam and yawned. She said lazily, “Lisa.”
Lisa?
Royce frowned.
But this was clearly Ms. Nora. Why was she calling herself Lisa?
He looked at Nora in confusion, but he saw the woman giving him a cold warning gaze.
Royce: “…”
He did not quite understand what this gaze meant.
Royce respected Nora a lot. The chairman was not married and did not have children. When he picked Nora up from the countryside back then, he had said that NTT would be handed over to Cherry in the future.
Who was Cherry? She was this woman’s daughter!
Moreover, wasn’t he handing it to Cherry because Ms. Nora only slept all day and did not want to get involved in the business at all?
The chairman had no choice. He had just said that he would hand the company to Cherry but he was actually giving it to her, in disguise.
As he was thinking about Ms. Nora’s intentions, the people behind him misunderstood.
One of them said, “You’re Lisa, the person Professor Myer was talking about? Why are you here? Where’s Professor Myer?”
Nora looked at the stairs. “He… might be a little busy?”
Everyone: “??”
Everyone felt like they had been played.
wn
They had come to see his project as investors but he was acting like such a big shot? Did he really think he was some well-known professor? They would still give some face to a professor like Wilson. After all, Wilson had done many projects in the past.
However, Wayne was really too unpopular!
Royce’s first subordinate said, “Since Professor Myer is so insincere, we’ll get going now! We don’t want to waste our time here!”
Nora: “?”
She raised her eyebrows and was about to speak when a bright and careful voice was heard. “Well… Since Lisa is here, why don’t we listen to her for a minute?”
Following the voice, Nora then saw that her neighbor, Liam, was in this team too.
“…”
Nora held her forehead.
There were quite a few familiar faces today. However, Liam seemed to have received a promotion. It seemed like she had made him level up.
After Liam finished speaking, everyone looked at Liam. Royce’s subordinate scolded, “You’re just a newcomer to the department. What are you talking about? How can an undergraduate explain a laboratory project? It’s too much!”
Liam was reprimanded and was too afraid to speak.
On the other hand, Royce came back to his senses when Liam was interrupted by the two of them. He stared at Nora and asked, “Let the undergraduate talk about… erm… do you want to talk about it…”
He looked at Nora tentatively.
Nora: “…I don’t know what the project is.”
She would not come to work on a real project. As Anti, she had not done many projects in the past. Furthermore, it took a lot of time to work on a project.
At most, she would just be registering.
When Royce heard this, he immediately understood and said, “Then you don’t have to say anything else!”
When he said this, one of Royce’s men misunderstood him. “Yes, there’s no need to say anything else. It’s useless even if you do. We won’t be investing in your project! The project proposal is a mess. There’s only the two of you…”
Royce: “…”
He really wanted to shut his subordinate’s mouth!
He was usually very good at flattering him. Why couldn’t he tell that something was amiss today?
He had finally come back to his senses.
Ms. Nora was hiding her identity by saying that she was Lisa! The warning gaze she had given to him earlier was also to tell him not to speak nonsense. Otherwise, why would she be here if she could just expose her identity?
Royce understood.
Ms. Nora was asking for an investment!
However, she could not expose her identity, so he had to make his investment look fair on the surface!
But his own subordinate had been undermining him here. How could he still invest “fairly”?
As he was thinking about what to do, Liam said again, “Um… Actually, there are only two people involved in the project. This kind of thing is easy to resolve. Professor Myer was very famous in the school back then but he has fallen from grace these past few years. As long as we invest, the number of people would definitely not be a problem.”
One of Liam’s men sneered and retorted, “Not a problem? I think it’s a big problem! Have you been bribed by him? What’s the difference between this and a scam? Besides, this project proposal is a complete mess. Is there any need to invest?”
Liam was lectured. He clenched his jaw and looked at Nora again.
Rene had said that it was not easy for Nora to raise the three children alone. It was not easy for her to attend school here. They were all neighbors and he had to help.
Therefore, Liam took a deep breath and continued, “That project… Actually, if you look at it carefully, you can tell that it will be very valuable in the future. Although we won’t be able to get any benefits in the short term, we have to look further ahead…”
Even if Royce was helping Wayne out of friendship, he could not have given him money for no reason.
Wayne’s project was indeed promising for the future.
However, Royce’s subordinate continued to scold him, “This idea of yours is very dangerous! We’re investors, of course we look at the long-term benefits! But you’re a newcomer, what do you know? You still dare to speak nonsense here? Don’t tell me you want to speak up for Lisa because she’s beautiful? Mr. Royce will definitely not agree! Isn’t that so, Mr. Royce?”
Royce had been walking at the front just now, so his back was to the people behind him at the moment. As a result, his subordinates couldn’t see his expression all this time.
Liam was just a newcomer in the department. After being lectured, he immediately lowered his head.
He indeed had selfish motives when he spoke up for Nora, so he didn’t dare to refute the other men.
Inwardly, though, he thought to himself, I’m done for. I’ve offended Mr. Royce’s favorite subordinate. I probably won’t have an easy time in the company now.
The promotion he had just received might even be taken away soon.
Despite that, though, he still said, “You misunderstand. Lisa’s just someone I know, that’s all. She is not an unreliable person, she…”
The man beside Royce was still scolding him. “You don’t look at such external factors in a project, but at the project itself! So, Liam, you know Lisa? Then this means you’re blind! To think you can’t make a distinction between work and private matters! In my opinion, you are not suitable for our department at all!”
Liam: “!!”
As expected, was he really going to be fired?
He wanted to cry. He had only managed to dodge the bullet because of the investigation into Fred. Was he going to face another unemployment crisis now?
While Liam was thinking about this dejectedly, Royce finally turned his head slowly and looked behind him.
He stared at his trusted subordinate, his face totally sullen.
Seeing his sullen expression, Royce’s subordinate misunderstood even further. He immediately said, “Mr. Royce, don’t be angry. I will make sure to keep an eye on newcomers like him in the future. I…”
Before he could finish, Royce slammed his briefcase against his head and said, “Newcomer? The way I see it, the newcomer has more gumption than you do!”
As soon as he said that, with the exception of Nora, a ton of question marks suddenly appeared above everyone’s heads: ???
Liam’s head also whipped up and he looked at Royce in disbelief.
Royce snapped, “You must have gotten old, so your eye for things can’t keep up with the youngsters anymore! That newcomer is doing very well in my opinion! Hm, yeah, I also think this project is promising! I’m going to invest in this!”
Royce’s subordinate was stunned.
Actually, he didn’t do anything wrong.
After all, Wayne’s project was indeed too unreliable.
It was a good project but Wayne’s project proposal was simply too badly written. No one who received the proposal would invest in it.
Nevertheless, the man was quick to back down. “Yes, yes, you are right, Mr. Royce. In that case, how much should we invest?”
“How much I should invest…” Royce looked at Nora again while thinking to himself, Ms. Nora, can you please give me some kind of response?!
But Nora didn’t look at him.
