Selena simply observed them in silence. As I gazed into her eyes, I found myself unable toprehend the reason behind her sudden quietness.


    With years of work experience, I disliked procrastination, so I handed the contract directly to the leader. "Here''s the contract we prepared. Please review it for any issues. If you agree, we can proceed with the partnership, but you''re free to decline since we have other options."


    Despite their initial skepticism, they epted the contract from me and began to read it. I couldn''t see their expressions clearly since I had my head down, yet I sensed a palpable excitement in the air. Their smiles seemed to shine through, though I couldn''t catch their words. Eventually, theirughter faded one by one.


    "Why did you choose us?" asked the man with sses as he closed the contract and returned it to us.


    "Exactly. I have the same question. Bigpanies often im weck experience and abilities, yet you want to coborate with us instead of other big firms. Is it a trap?"


    It appeared they had been deceived in the past. Before I could say anything, Selena began to exin. She had clearly made up her mind and slowly shared her reasons.


    "You are all neers to the industry, full of potential yetcking experience. It''s indeed risky to cooperate with you, but I still want to take a gamble.


    "Wealth and honor oftene from taking risks. I believe young people are more adaptable and capable of creating than older generations, which is why I want to coborate with you. I''ve shared the contract, and whether you ept it is up to you.


    "No one should feel pressured. If you''ve made a decision, please call us back." After that, Selena ced the contract on the table and led me downstairs. I was in a daze, feeling confused as I watched her walk ahead of me.


    I sighed and suggested, "Selena, we should talk to them first before leaving. Otherwise, they''ll think we''re insincere. Even though you were the president, you weren''t in public rtions. You might not grasp the ws of human nature."


    She sighed deeply, her gaze fixed on thepany''s sign.


    She said, "It''s clear they''re struggling financially. Perhaps an unexpected situation arose when they firstunched the business. They might have faced contract breaches or have even been cheated and had to paypensation. If they are truly bold and desperate, they will reach out again."


    Selena paused, her brow furrowed in contemtion. After a moment, she sighed and added, "If they don''t have the courage to take a risk, they aren''t worth coborating with."


    Seeing Selena''s disappointed expression made me realize I didn''t know enough about her. After returning to thepany, we never brought up the coboration again.


    While we hadn''t received a response from thatpany, the project was Selena''s idea, and the market potential remained significant. There were many otherpanies we could work with. Selena just favored that one.
