Chapter 616 Black Friday Sales

“You are a prominent businesswoman in the city, Ms. Quint. I'm sure your
proposal will make the cut.” Johnson curried her favor.

“Thank you, Mayor Brooks.”

Darcy was overjoyed and even nodded at Johnson while walking away.
Johnson broke out in a cold sweat.

The nod was too much of a courtesy to accept.

“Mr. Lee, um...”

Kaze waved his arm, showing that he did not mind at all.

Relieved, Johnson said, “I have looked into six billion dollars approved to the
Quints and the Lees. The money has been wired to them.

“T got my people on the case to get the money back.”

“I see,” Kaze responded.

Soon, Johnson got a call.

His face turned horrified.

“What's wrong? The money can’t be recovered?”

Kaze scowled, but it was not surprising.

The Quints might cough the money back out.

However, the Sunrise Lees would not honor the wishes of a mayor.

“My contact mentioned that the Quints and Lees are at the auction as we speak,
buying the top three families’ assets like there’s no tomorrow. No one can
compete with them.

“They have spent most of the money,” Johnson uttered uneasily.

He wanted to slap himself there and then.

Johnson told the finance department to make the support fund a priority to
impress Kaze.

Hence, the money was wired right after the reviewing committee approved the
proposal.

Normally, the processing would take much longer.

“It hasn't been long, and they nearly spent six billion dollars. These families didn’t
even evaluate the assets before buying them. They really think this is a Black
Friday sale.”

Kaze scoffed. “They probably bite off more than they can chew.”

“Should we stop them, Mr. Lee?” Johnson asked.

“Why should we? Let them buy off the assets. The bank can give them a loan if
they need more money. They can take all they want.”

Kaze waved his arm.

“Erm?”

Johnson could not understand Kaze’s intentions.

He did not stop the Quints and the Lees from gaining control over Lilyrose.

In fact, Kaze seemed to be helping them.

Kaze answered with a pretentious smile, “The top three families expanded their
businesses blindly until they were too big to fail. You know better than me how
bad the investments were.

“Didn't the Quints and Lees claim they would boost the city’s economy? Well, it's
time for them to step up to the plate.”

Johnson widened his eyes.

Now, he understood where Kaze was coming from. He was trying to screw those.
families over.

“That's smart, Mr. Lee.”

Johnson gave a thumbs-up with respect.

It did not take long before Darcy showed up, beaming.

“The proposal passed, Kaze!”

She was happy to share the red stamp on her evaluation report.

Darcy was confused.

Other companies should get a piece of the pie too.

Besides, the behavior of the Quints and the Lees had stirred public outrage.
Darcy would become another public enemy if Quartet Group took a lion's share
too. 1

Business was all about sharing the pie.
