?Chapter 134:


    With that, Ryan gave a nod and exited the office.


    The moment he was out the door, he fired off a short message to Cedric.


    “OK.”


    Lillian, walking by, caught sight of this and emitted a soft whistle.


    “You really have Cedric’s back, don’t you? Stepping up for him like this?”


    Ryan, a lollipop tucked in his cheek, shot back, “Could you erect a business empire in mere days for someone who has already rejected you?”


    Reconstructing a billion-dor renovation business required more than just capital. It demanded a vastwork ofbor, resources, and connections to kickstart operations.


    Then, afterying the foundation, a significant investment of actual, hard-earned cash was essential.


    In an era marked by capricious and hurried attitudes, who else wouldmit so thoroughly? Cedric was one who dared.


    Cedric refrained from using thepany’s funds. Instead, he invested his own savings into the project.


    Tyler, staring at the long string of zeros in thepany’s bnce, felt the immense burden of his role.


    He blinked, overwhelmed, and queried, “You do realize I’m the legal representative of thispany, right?”


    Cedric, momentarily cheered by Ryan’s approving text, gave a brief nce and responded distractedly, “Hmm?”

    Tyler’s worry deepened.


    “As the legal representative, this is technically under my stewardship too. Are youfortable entrusting me with such a substantial amount?”


    The potential for misdeeds loomedrge; with the ess he had, embezzlement was a terrifying possibility. This was no small sum—it was in the billions! And that was aside from the vast sums already tied up in the business. Funds were swirling through ounts like a torrential river.


    The recent costs for entertainment and hospitality alone surpassed anything Tyler had ever encountered in his life. To Tyler, the financial maneuvers seemed sheer madness.


    Yet Cedric, everposed, simply stated, “It’s all worth it.”


    Turning to look at Cedric, Tyler observed the slight dark circles under his eyes. Even Cedric, seemingly unbreakable, bore the scars of his ambitions. No one, not even he, could dodge the demands of hardbor.


    Tyler silently pledged to himself—he would uphold Cedric’s trust. He would not fail him. Among all possible choices, Cedric had chosen him.


    “Rest assured, I won’t misuse a penny of thepany’s funds!” Cedric offered a faint smile and dismissed him with a wave.


    “Thispany only needs to tackle one significant project. If you’re driven, use this opportunity to carve out your own path. Should you have any queries, my secretary and I are at your disposal.”


    With that, Cedric exited, eager to meet his team on the construction site to discuss the initial design concepts. He envisioned erecting a building on the North Districtnd that would captivate and inspire for centuries, and his entire vision was dedicated to Dani. Cedric collected his hard hat and made his way to the site.


    As the design ns were revealed, the team was struck mute.
