Chapter 44 Winning Hearts
When I got home, I deliberately told Oswald the whole process, without any concealment.
With a face full of satisfaction, he praised me, “Wife, you truly are a virtuous helpmate, understanding and knowing how to win people’s hearts!”
“This is not manipulation, it’s sincerity, okay!” I corrected, then
continued, “Speaking of Orlando, he has indeed contributed a lot to our family over the years, he has not spared any effort. It’s normal for you, a man, not to think so much about these things. But women? We need these little favors to be pleased!”
Actually, I did this just to dispel his concerns.
This old fox, if I were to conceal these matters from him, once he found out, he would definitely be on alert.
I was going to dismantle him without a trace of emotion.
With this legitimate reason, I then began to frequently approach those customers‘ wives, laying the groundwork for the future.
In Oswald’s eyes, I was nothing more than a woman’s little tricks, nothing remarkable, just eating and doing my hair.
My busy day, in his view, was uneventful and couldn’t make much of a splash. He even complimented me a few times, which was nice, at least we got to know each other better. I proudly said in front of him, without any shame, “He’s in charge outside, I’m in charge inside.”
Oswald was naturally pleased with this.

But in my heart, I was coldly cursing, I wanted to doom you to eternal damnation.
During dinner in the evening, I suddenly asked him, “When will you return the money for the house?”
“Almost there, once the Water Park project is finished and paid for, we can plug the gap!” He said nonchalantly.
“Hurry up! The money isn’t in the account, I’m feeling uneasy!” I honestly expressed my feelings, looking at him “Don’t take this lightly, I’ve recently seen two nice houses. I’ve noticed that you’ve been quite indifferent about our home affairs lately, haven’t you?”
“Nonsense, how could it be! I told you, the investment in the project was for a big profit!” He was coaxing me with his glib tongue.
“Making money is indeed important, but the child is equally important. Do you think I want to buy a house just for myself to live in? Aren’t you going to live there too? Right now, the child’s education is a big deal, we can’t let our child lose at the starting line, can we?” I argued convincingly.
In short, if that money was not returned, I absolutely would not let him off the hook.
Ever since Orlando found out that I could locate Janet at any time, he really learned his lesson. He was careful and cautious everywhere, like walking on thin ice. Whenever I called him, he was as fast as a leopard.
At this very moment, good news came. The project bidding quota for Broadray Vision was finally set at four, and we, Prosper Materials, were within the quota.
This news shocked Oswald, immediately gaining his attention.
Orlando reported to me, saying that Oswald was shocked. Originally, he was the one I least cared about, and he easily fell into my hands. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, yielding such

Being shortlisted indicated that, regardless of whether this bid could ultimately be secured, one thing was very clear, that is, Prosper Materials could register with a large company like Broadray Vision, which to some extent laid the foundation for Prosper Materials in the building materials industry of River City.
Therefore, after the company’s decision, it was determined that such a large project required Oswald to personally follow up.
But the development company he had initially committed to, after much discussion, required upfront funding. This gave Oswald a headache, as the risk of upfront funding was naturally high. It was a major plan, and even if there were high profits, it was a different story when it came to settling the accounts in the end.
I summarized the situation from the last briefing. The reason I was able to outpace two companies and reach the final stage was because I won with my vacation products.
If Oswald were to take over at this point, he probably wouldn’t stand a chance of winning.
And I didn’t want to give up on this project either, but he was the ultimate decision–maker at the moment.
I suddenly thought of that coat, it seemed I needed to get in touch with Raymon again.
