Chapter 162 An Unexpected Reward

After we made our decision, I talked to Ryan about the suppliers Benjamin had been working hard to keep.

I invited Benjamin to join us in the discussion to lay out a more flexible strategy. Of course, we could only make arrangements after confirming the project with Echelon Group.

That evening, Benjamin and Carol led all our employees to Gourmet Utopia, where they had reserved the largest private room available. It was fancier than my previous employee dinners, and all the staff were

Gourmet Utopia was known for hosting parties and banquets, so most of its customers came in groups, On my way there, I received a phone call from Atlas. He asked me where the dinner was, and I told him. "Hmm..." He reminded me, “No drinking, okay?"

"Why do you care? I'm having a good time with my employees tonight."

I was happy that he sounded jealous.

She chuckled and said, "What are you guys waiting for? Let's dig
