I Become A CEO After Divorce novel Chapter 474

Chapter 474 - It was, it is, and it will be

Zane's voice was low, and it was hard to tell joy or anger from his tone.
"Lana and I have always been friends. We were, we are, and we will be friends."
Vincent, at first, did not understand Zane's words.
But after a bit of pondering, Vincent immediately realized. "Lana, did she do something that crossed the line?"
Zane, since he brought Vincent here tonight, naturally wasn't going to beat around the bush. "Two days ago, my wife crashed into Lana's car. I asked Albi to help Lana fix it."
"I didn't get you here tonight to threaten you or to warn you." Zane looked at Vincent. "I was hoping you could persuade Lana to let go of what she has in mind for me, because it's not worth it and it's not necessary."
Compared to his harshness towards Finnley, Zane said to Vincent more mildly, more or less because of the relationship between Griffiths family and the Lawrence family.
With what had been said, Vincent naturally also understood and nodded to Zane, "I understand, I will talk to Lana. She will no loner bring you any trouble."
All that needed to be said was said, so the next topic for them was more casual.
After Finnley came back from the bathroom, with the courage brought by wine, he mentioned to Zane about the West City CBD project.
Vincent turned to Finnley after listening to Finnley's words, "You want to work on the West City CBD project?"
Finnley although drank a lot of wine, he was very clear in mind. He analyzed the development of West City in details. "It's going to be nice there."
After hearing Finnley's words, Zane also nodded, "Indeed, West City is in full swing now. Its future is promising."
Vincent saw that Zane also said so, so he asked directly, "Then there should be a lot of people fixating at this project, right? After all, with such a good development prospects, anyone would want to take it."
Zane said, "I know quite a few companies are on it, but no one has taken a step forward yet because they can't agree on how to share responsibility and profits."
Finnley turned to Zane and asked, "Can two companies take it?"
Zane raised his eyebrows and looked at Finnley, "You have a big appetite."
Finnley smiled, "I'm just asking."
Finnley was silent for a few seconds, and then asked, "Mr. Lawrence, do you know how much the project is capped?"
"Nine digits at least."
Finnley hissed, "Even the lowest budget! And the cap?"
"There's no cap."
"No cap?" Finnley couldn't help but raise his voice, "That wild?"
Zane said, "In the next two years there will be a private school system in place, from kindergarten to high school, all in one, and villa areas, upscale neighborhoods, and medical institutions. At that time, you will not feel wild."
Finnley did not speak for a long time after hearing these words from Zane.
Finnley although also had done a lot of relatively large projects, but it was the first time he had seen such a large-scale project.
The funding was a big problem.
Now he also wanted to try to do a big deal in West City .
Zane lit a cigarette and looked at Finnley, "If you have an idea, when the time comes to bid, I'll count you in."
Finnley was excited when he heard this, "Count me in?"
"What? You don't want to?"
Finnley said, "Of course I do."
"Let's talk about it then."
Finnley was promised such a good thing, so he was naturally excited and then drank a lot with Zane.
Finnley was finally pulled out of the box by his girlfriend by the ear.
The pathetic look of him made Vincent "heartbroken."
Zane and Vincent did not drink much, but after Finnley left, they both got up and talked as they walked out.
"I'll talk to Lana again, and if she did anything inappropriate before, I'll apologize to you for her."
Zane responded in a low voice, "I just want you to tell her, there's no need to end up in an unpleasant situation."
Vincent nodded, "No problem."
In fact, Vincent was very clear. If there is really that day, the Griffiths family if really makes Zane angry because Lana did something, then Uncle Griffiths will not fare well in Manches City in the future.
After all, they all wanted to rely on Zane.
Vincent also heard about what was going on with the Lawrence family, but Miller and the old Mr. Lawrence's attitude had not changed at all.
They knew that in the Lawrence Group, the Tycoon of Manches City would still be Zane. This would not change.
So they still needed to think about their future development.
They couldn't offend such a good "partner" just because of the unrequited romantic thing.
The two of them walked to the parking lot, Zane looked at Vincent, "Called a chauffeur?"
Vincent responded, "There are many chauffeurs around here, I'll just call one."
Zane nodded, "Take your time."
Vincent hummed, waved his hand at Zane, and walked in the direction of the parking lot.
After Vincent left, Zane turned to look at Albi, "Is there anything around here to eat? "
Albi looked at Zane, "Are you hungry?"
"Anika is staying at D-king Castle. She should still be awake at this hour."
Albi understood in a second. "There's one a little further on, but it's a small night market."
"Let's go and see."
Albi nodded and followed Zane.
This was a very small night market with some snacks.
Zane usually wouldn't eat these things.
He saw Bonnie and Yanis eat it before, and they enjoyed it.
At the time, Zane was disgusted, and after Bonnie left, he grabbed Yanis and made her brush her teeth twice.
At that time Zane was disgusted, after Bonnie left, Zane pulled Yanis, let Yanis brush his teeth twice.
Thinking of this, Zane's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
At that time Yanis drank some beer, so her face was a little blushed. She brushing teeth while muttering pitifully.
Although he did not hear what Yanis said at that time, looking at her expression, he knew it was not a good word.
Walking to the night market, Zane looked at Albi, "Buy some of everything."
Although it did not look good, it still smelled great.
Albi rarely ran to such places because of his work, not that he didn't eat these things because he was better off, but because he didn't have time.
Tonight, Albi had a chance to sack everything.
He bought a lot of things, and when he got back to Zane, both hands were full.
Zane took a look. "Is it enough?"
Albi thought Zane meant it was too much, so he explained, "I also bought some for myself."
Zane frowned, "I mean, is that enough?"
Albi then responded, "Yes, Miss Lawrence can't eat it all by herself."
Zane said, "And Yanis."
"This is also enough. It's better to eat less at night." Albi said.
