After a long time, Patrick let her go. Her breath had long been messed up and her watery eyes became misty, which made him want to continue to bully her.
Amelia was a little nervous under his aggressive gaze. She couldn't help but reach out and gently pushed him, and reminded him with a red face, "Not now..."
"I know." Patrick comforted himself. "I've endured it for so long. I can wait a little longer."
Amelia said sincerely, "Thank you..."
After Patrick tucked her in, he said, "Well, it's time for me to meet Freddy. I’ll let you go for now."
"Freddy?" Wasn't he the chief manager of the Easthern District project?
Patrick said, "Under my grandpa's pressure, the Easthern District project has yet to find its owner. I think the Apex Construction
Corporation has been well reorganized. It's time."
Amelia licked her lips nervously. "Would Apex Construction Corporation get it?"
Watching her licking lips, Patrick couldn't help kissing her again. "As long as I want it, it will belong to Apex Construction Corporation."

Outside the lobby, Freddy was waiting for Patrick at the bottom of the steps, followed by his two assistants.
At first, the two assistants were all confused. "Freddy, who are we waiting for now?"
"Is there a leader who came to Northville to inspect our work?"
"He is not a leader, but he has a more powerful background than a leader," Freddy said, pointing to the sky. "There is a big shot who nobody dares to provoke above him."
The two assistants asked in unison, "Who is it?"
Freddy said, "Who else can it be? You can think about it yourself. The most powerful
person in Northville."
The two assistants didn't think much and said, "Of course it's you!"
"Bullsh*t!" Freddy spat at them and was about to say something when he saw a private car approaching from afar parked right in front of them.
"Freddy, is this the person we are waiting for?" One of the assistants responded quickly and immediately went up to open the door for the person.
However, Freddy pulled him back, tidied up his suit, and opened the door for the comer.
To be honest, this was the first time Freddy saw Patrick in such a close distance.
How should he put it? Although the other party was much younger than him, he was much more imposing than him, giving him an inexplicable feeling of being inferior to others.
"Mr. Gradner, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you! Mr. Patrick, please come in!"
When the two assistants saw that it was Patrick who came out of the car, they immediately understood the reason why Freddy came out to meet him personally.
After all, the young master was Gramps Hopper's grandson. If they could convince him, there would be nothing to worry about in the future.
"What are you doing?" At this moment, Freddy suddenly turned his head and shouted at them, "Lead the way!"
The two assistants quickly came to themselves and led the way ahead. Freddy was busy talking with Patrick. "Mr. Patrick, I heard that you spent a lot of money buying Apex Construction Corporation not long ago?"
Patrick looked at him with a faint smile, "Mr. Gradnern, we'd better cut the crap. I'm sure you know why I'm here today."
Freddy felt a little awkward. He just wanted to be polite and warm- hearted before getting into business, but this man didn't seem to like him.
"Does he have any opinion on me?"
Freddy smiled apologetically with an uneasy mood, "Yes, yes! Gramps Hopper told me clearly on the phone a few months ago that the Hopper family is interested in the project of Easthern District."
"Yes, I'm here to get this cake today." Patrick answered bluntly.
Although Freddy had known Patrick's intention, he was still frightened by his confidence.
In the past few months, the bosses of major construction companies secretly set prices and increased them each time in order to win the Easthern District project.
Their tones were more or less testing, lack of confidence, and asking for their help. Patrick was the only one who spoke calmly, which was probably the highest level of "the one who dares to challenge him".
At this time, two assistants leading the way stood still.
One of them took out the key and opened the door of Freddy's office, and the other turned back and asked respectfully, "Mr. Patrick, what would you like to drink?"
Patrick said lightly, "Tea will do."
"Okay." The assistant who asked the question immediately went to the tea room to prepare.
After the door was opened, the other assistant leaned over, bowed his head, and said to Freddy and Patrick, "Please."
Freddy enthusiastically extended a hand to Patrick to invite him in. "Mr. Patrick, please!"
Patrick nodded and took the lead.
Freddy followed him.
Standing outside the door, the assistant sensibly closed the door of the office. It was so difficult for Freddy to please Patrick, not to mention small potatoes like them.
In an instant, only Freddy and Patrick were left in the office.
When he heard Patrick mention Gramps Hopper, Freddy's eyes twitched. "I understand, Mr. Patrick! Don't worry. The price I'm giving you is far beyond the psychological value of other competitors. They can't afford it."

This private negotiation was not only satisfactory for Patrick, but also for Freddy.
"All right." Patrick put down the teacup and asked Freddy, who was still immersed in happiness, "I made this deal with you privately. How are you going to announce it to the public?"
"This... to be honest, we haven't thought about it yet, but I promise you, we will definitely find a way!"
Patrick replied, "Why don't I teach you?"
Freddy's eyes lit up. "What's your opinion, Mr. Patrick?"
Patrick said, "You can tell the truth."
"Um... urn?!" Freddy originally wanted to chime in to what he said, but when he reacted, he was greatly shocked.
Patrick said, "It's very simple. The capital from Roxxon Corporation, coupled with the construction expertise of Apex Construction Corporation, it's the best and perfect reason for you to voluntarily hand over the Easthern District project to me, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Freddy was speechless. How could this be the truth? The truth was obviously the opposite!
Patrick sounded nice to talk to. "It doesn't matter, Mr. Gradner. I'm just giving a suggestion. If you can think of something better, just forget what I said."
Freddy nodded quickly. "We will consider your opinion seriously. Thank you so much for your advice!"
"You're welcome." After nodding, Patrick straightened up from the office chair and said, "I'll go back first. I hope Mr. Gradner will do your work as soon as possible."
Freddy asked subconsciously, "Mr. Patrick, is it convenient for us to have a meal together?"
Patrick said lightly, "We don't have to eat together. The faster you work, the happier my grandpa will be."
Freddy immediately nodded and said, "Please tell Gramps Hopper that I promise to complete the task! " "Lure."
Three days later—
Freddy officially announced that the Easthern District project would be sold to Apex Construction Corporation.
And the reason he chose was exactly the one Patrick suggested.
The bosses of many construction companies who saw the news became listless.
Why? Because Freddy gave a reason that they first took a fancy to the present potential of Apex Construction Corporation, so they took the initiative to seek cooperation. What else could they say?"
At this time, Amelia, who happened to see the news at home, immediately ran to tell George and his wife about this with joy.
