My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1594: Reassurance

Mario said, "I suggest that we don't have representatives from each company managing this. Instead, let's hand it over to a single team for management. As for how to arrange this, we can discuss and ultimately decide among ourselves. This way, everyone will be convinced. What do you think, Mr. Simpson?"

Ayan didn't answer immediately but looked up at Horace and Mr. Nores. Both of them seemed surprised, not expecting Mario to suddenly bring up such a proposal.

Ayan glanced at the two of them and then asked in a slightly low voice, "What do you both think?"

Ayan rarely gives a direct answer, whether he agrees or disagrees, because he doesn't want his response to influence others.

As for his answer, it would never be influenced by anyone's opinion. If he agrees, he agrees; if he doesn't, he doesn't. He responds purely from his own perspective and that of Simpson Group.

Mr. Nores found himself in a difficult position because he didn't want to offend either side.

So, faced with such a question, he started to hedge. He said, "I need to think about it. You guys go ahead first; I'll consider it."

Horace's expression remained unchanged and calm as he slowly said, "I've thought about Mr. King's proposal too. Actually, if we had followed this model from the beginning, it might have been great. But now that things are already set, changing it at this point might make things difficult for the person taking over. So, I don't agree with changing it. Maintaining the status quo is actually the best approach, as it helps with the upcoming work. Right now, everyone is focused on one area, but later on, they will definitely be responsible for their respective areas of expertise."

After Horace finished speaking, the atmosphere fell into a brief silence. Everyone present understood his words and felt that he was not wrong and wasn't biased towards anyone.

None of the company representatives responded, and the project managers under them seemed to agree with Horace's words.

Mario didn't immediately comment on Horace's words but instead directed his question to Ayan. He asked, "What do you think, Mr. Simpson?"

Ayan calmly replied, "I don't see any problem. Your proposals are all correct and are for the benefit of the project. So, no matter what suggestions you make, they are not wrong."

"However, the issues we've encountered so far might have caused significant trouble for other companies. Although the unexpected problems we've faced are troublesome, they won't affect our companies or the project's future development. Therefore, I lean towards maintaining the status quo because only by doing so can we prevent the project from becoming increasingly chaotic."

After Ayan finished speaking, he also looked at Mario and asked, "What do you think, Mr. King?"

Mario didn't respond immediately but seemed to be deep in thought.

Seeing this, Mr. Nores spoke up, "Since we're all here for the project's benefit and most of the project leaders are present, why don't we vote on it? This way, it won't harm anyone."

After Mr. Nores finished speaking, Mario said, "No need. I was just making a suggestion. The final decision depends on everyone's thoughts. Since everyone thinks maintaining the status quo is best, I have no objections because it's all for the project's benefit."

Mario directly dismissed the voting suggestion.

Mr. Nores's expression stiffened slightly, and he remained silent.

Ayan and Horace exchanged a glance before Ayan said, "If Mr. King's suggestion has good arrangements, we can support it. But I hope it doesn't affect anyone's work arrangements because only by not affecting them can we prevent internal conflicts within the project."

Horace added, "I have no objections."

Mr. Nores echoed, "Me neither."

Although Mr. Nores owned the land for this project, he had been more of a bystander so far and was

genuinely afraid of offending anyone Horace and Armstrong Corp were relatively easier to deal with because Nores Group was slightly superior in comparison. But he absolutely couldn't afford to offend Simpson Group or King Group.

Faced with this situation, Mario smiled and said, "Mr. Simpson is overthinking it. We are a team, and every action represents the whole team rather than individuals. My suggestion was merely to make project management easier so that when unexpected issues arise, we know who is responsible."

Although he verbally agreed to follow the majority's opinion, he still leaned towards his own proposal.

So both sides were in a slight stalemate. Fortunately, this stalemate didn't last long as Ayan unexpectedly compromised.

Ayan said, "Since Mr. King insists on

ovel

this, we'll follow his lead. Mr. King will now be the team leader. Entrusting it to Mr. King reassures us all. Mr. King believes this proposal will benefit project management and future outcomes, then let's go with Mr. King's plan!"

As soon as Ayan finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

Especially Mario; he hadn't expected Ayan to compromise or support his decision.

So for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Horace was the first to react. He glanced around before calmly saying, "I agree. Since Mr. Simpson has said so, I unconditionally support Mr. King's proposal as well. So let's leave it to Mr. King."

After Horace finished speaking, Mr. Nores also voiced his agreement.

The decision was thus made, but Mario still found it hard to believe. After leaving Simpson Group and getting into his car, he kept thinking about what had just happened and asked his secretary, "Do you think Ayan genuinely agrees or is playing some trick?"

The secretary was also slightly taken aback but then calmly replied, "Mr. King, Ayan probably wouldn't play any tricks. If he truly agreed, he could have just refused outright; there's no need for him to be two- faced."

This conclusion came after directly interacting with Ayan on this project: Ayan is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush or hesitate to speak his mind.

After hearing his secretary's words, Mario's somber expression didn't lighten up.

He felt that Ayan wouldn't easily agree because there were many things left unsaid before Ayan agreed so quickly; it seemed too easy.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Sometimes things that come too easily make people uneasy.

That's exactly how he felt at that moment.

However, he didn't dwell on it further. Regardless of Ayan's intentions, he had agreed to his proposal for now, so everything would proceed according to his plan. But whether other unexpected issues would arise during this process remained uncertain!
