GoodReadChapter 611 A Million Dollars “Hello, Mr. Yale. Is there anything | can do for you?” Reminded by the reviewing panel's hypocrisy, Darcy sounded rather indifferent.
“Our committee has reviewed your proposal again, Ms. Quint, and we believe you could be eligible for funding.
“Why don’t you drop by, and we'll have a talk?” To Darcy's surprise, Federick was not just fobbing her off.
He had audited her business proposal once more.
Federick turned out to be serious and responsible with his work.
Maybe she got the wrong idea about Federick.
He might not be in cahoots with those people. He probably did everything he could so as not to rub the Sunrise Lees the wrong way.

“Who is Mr. Yale?” Kaze asked.
Darcy replied enthusiastically, “He's the head of the reviewing committee and a faculty member of the University of South River. He said he looked into our proposal again and believed we have a good chance of getting the grant.” “I'll go with you.” Kaze got up and grabbed the car key. [x] He wanted to sort out the issue with the reviewing panel too.
“Just wait outside, Kaze.” Once at the office building, Darcy went into Federick’s office alone.
“Ms. Quint, | think | made things clear on the phone, so I'll cut to the chase.” Federick pushed his glasses up his nose bridge and added, “Your application for the support fund can be approved.” “That's great, Mr. Yale. Thank you.” Darcy was overjoyed.
+15 BONUS Quartet Group applied for 500 million dollars in grants.
Nevertheless, Darcy did not expect to acquire the full amount. She would be grateful to just get 100 million dollars.
The government funding worth up to 10 billion dollars might sound like a lot, but there were many companies in need of help.
Besides, the Quints and Lees were granted six billion dollars combined.
The remaining four billion dollars was not enough to go around.
“Quartet Group will utilize the five-hundred-million-dollar grant where it matters and make a positive impact in the commercial environment. We are committed to creating jobs, boosting the economy, and improving the quality of the people's lives,” Darcy replied earnestly.
“Ms. Quint, what gives you the impression that you have gotten five hundred million dollars?” Federick gave Darcy a strange look, finding her naive.
“Oh, how much is it?” Darcy asked awkwardly.
Federick stuck one finger out. “A million dollars.” “A million dollars?” Darcy’s eyes burned with rage.

Besides, Quartet Group was not a small business in Lilyrose.

She was brushed off with a pittance.
“A million dollars is a lot, Ms. Quint. We have to consider many other companies in the city too. We can’t just give you everything.” Federick removed his spectacles for a wipe before putting them back on.
“A million dollars doesn’t cfor free, Ms. Quint.” He ogled at Darcy, his eyes traveling along her voluptuous figure.
Federick rose to his feet and walked away from his desk to approach Darcy.
“I heard you did your masters at the University of South River. Have you considered getting a PhD? | can be your supervisor.” +15 BONUS While talking, he reached out to hold Darcy's hand.
Clomp! Clomp! Darcy stepped back and snapped an angry look at him. “Have sself-respect, Mr. Yale.” She had met many indecent men like Federick in her lifetime.
Darcy took all precautions the moment she sensed something was not right. “You're a smart woman. | guess | don’t have to beat around the bush anymore.” Federick said with a smile, “I decide how much you get, Ms.
Quint. If you are with me, | can approve ten million dollars in grant.” He had lewd thoughts about Darcy when he first laid eyes on her.
