My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1525: Talents

Ayan agreed to Horace's invitation, and the two arranged to meet at a small bar near Franklin Bay. It was a quiet place, located in an affluent area with high confidentiality and security, so they found a corner to sit.

One of them ordered a drink, and then Ayan looked at Horace and asked, "Mr. Burris, are you inviting me for a drink in such a leisurely manner?"

Ayan's words carried a faint smile, as if his laughter was saying to Horace, "How can you still drink at a time like this?"

Horace didn't avoid his probing and sighed silently with a slightly hoarse voice, "What is happening? Just when I was planning to stabilize things and get engaged by the end of the year, now this happens. The Armstrong Corp issue was just resolved less than two days ago. Like the employees of Armstrong Corp, my heart is pounding and could stop beating at any moment." It wasn't just the Armstrong Corp employees who were worried; as the general manager, he was also very concerned.

Drinking his alcohol, perhaps due to the atmosphere and dim lighting, no one could clearly see how troubled he looked at the moment. So, he spoke more and could freely express himself.

He put down his glass and continued with his previous words, saying, "To be honest, Mr. Simpson, do you think I should go for divination?"

Ayan smiled, his thin lips showing an obvious smile. "Mr. Burris, are you asking me to introduce a divination master to you?"

"Thank you, Mr. Simpson." Horace raised his glass and clinked it with Ayan's. Then he smiled and said, "Mr. Simpson, are you really going to help me with the introduction? I really want to try divination." Ayan replied calmly, "You should ask Tomas about this. He knows more about it and can give you the best advice."

Tomas had a tumultuous relationship with Arnold in the past. In order to make Arnold listen to him, he went to great lengths and sought out many experts in this field to suppress Arnold. The effect was obvious to everyone.

Horace's eyes lit up, showing genuine interest. He said, "Really?"

"Yes, you can ask him right now."

Horace couldn't wait for even a second and immediately mentioned Tomas in their group chat, asking him for help in introducing a divination master.

Tomas didn't hold back and directly provided several contact details in the group chat. He added, "You can negotiate the price aggressively. If they ask for too much money, just give it to them."

Horace didn't immediately add those contacts as friends. Instead, he looked at Ayan and said, "Mr. Simpson, your friends are truly talented!"

"Indeed, right in front of me is the most outstanding talent," Ayan said lightly while looking at Horace. He put down his glass and asked in a low voice, "You invited me out specifically for this. I'm afraid it's not just about asking me to introduce a divination master, right?"

Horace also put away his phone and placed it on the coffee table. The smile on his face disappeared as well. He met Ayan's gaze and said, "By now, Mr. Simpson should have arranged for someone to investigate this matter, right?"

Ayan didn't say anything but silently confirmed it.

Horace continued, "How is the investigation going? Can Mr. Simpson give me some information?"

"Do you want to know if this matter

is directly related to Armstrong Corp?" Ayan directly uncovered the hidden meaning behind Horace's words. His eyebrows slightly raised and his voice became even more gloomy. "I can't give you that answer yet. It hasn't been discovered yet. If it is indeed related to Armstrong Corp, how do you plan to handle it?"

Since Armstrong Corp's people belonged to Horace, even if it was a cooperative relationship, he wouldn't directly deal with Armstrong Corp's people. Instead, he would hand them over to Horace. Horace was taken aback for a moment and fell into a brief silence. His expression became serious, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes as he spoke again, "Leave it to the project team to handle it. I will accept whatever decision is made."

"Just your words are enough." Ayan just wanted to see Horace's attitude. Since Horace had shown his stance, Ayan naturally understood.

However, it was still unknown who had leaked the information at the moment, so a detailed investigation was still needed.

With the topic reaching this point, they began discussing the project in detail.

Horace spoke again, "Has Nores Group or King Group separately approached you?"

Ayan said no; they were probably still conducting internal investigations. They might need to first check their own people internally before responding to Ayan's side.

Horace asked again, "What about you? Have you started the investigation?"

without any cohesion. As for

Simpson Group, unless someone made an extraordinary effort, it would be impossible to expose them.

Therefore, investigating Simpson Group would be simpler compared to Armstrong Corp. As for Armstrong Corp, anyone could become a suspect. But if everyone suspected Horace, then Armstrong Corp's people would develop a sense of rejection towards him that couldn't be reversed once it started.

Ayan's words made Horace nod in agreement. Horace said, "I understand that. However, I don't have reliable people on hand. Most of my people are abroad. Bringing them back for investigation would be too abrupt. Can Mr. Simpson provide me with a few reliable individuals?"

After Horace finished speaking, Ayan didn't immediately respond but looked at Horace impassively. Horace quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Simpson, rest assured that I won't let you help in vain. Once this matter is resolved, I will give Camille an extra share of the year-end bonus as a reward for your advice and assistance. Of course, I know Mr. Simpson doesn't care about such things, but as you know, I'm just starting out and many things are not yet perfect. So I can't offer much at the moment. If Mr. Simpson needs my help in the future, I will do my best."

Horace didn't have much influence in Hance City but couldn't be underestimated in the international investment banking industry.

As for why Horace suddenly came back to Hance City and provided funding to Armstrong Corp, which was on the verge of collapse, that remained a mystery until now. It seemed that no one could guess his thoughts or intentions.

Thinking about this point, Ayan couldn't help but speak up again: "Forget about any gratitude rewards; I suggest giving Armstrong Corp's bonus share to Grace instead of my wife. As long as she lives well, my wife will worry less."

Horace understood that Ayan had agreed.

But before he could thank him, Ayan's voice sounded again: "I promise to recommend some reliable individuals to you, but I have a question."

"Please go ahead, Mr. Simpson!" Horace looked at Ayan with a smile on his face.
