Chapter 286: Need Any Help?
The next morning, the program recording continued as usual. Sylvia had to have another chat with them to secure cooperation. It wasn't easy because these people were stubborn. So, Sylvia had to put in extra effort to persuade them.
What surprised Sylvia was that lan was still around after yesterday's incident. He even obediently stayed by Balk's side, not daring to glance around. She wondered what they had discussed last night. By the time Sylvia got her phone back, the video had been deleted. But she knew Balk wouldn't let it go.
She didn't care how Balk had handled it; she just focused on her tasks and continued chatting with them.
The director knew Sylvia was here for business, so the camera barely focused on her. It was a pity because she looked stunning, especially when working with her brother.
After finishing most of their work, Henry approached Sylvia.
"I know you're here to collaborate with us. Do you need my help? I have some influence here, and I can help you maximize your benefits. I know everything about how things work here."Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Sylvia had to put in a lot of effort to convince these people. She wondered if things would have been less complicated if she had brought her brother along today.
Unexpectedly, Henry offered to help.
Usually, people like him had ulterior motives. Sylvia wanted to know why he was helping her, even if it was for cooperation or money.
"I'm curious. If so many people don't want to work with me, why are you offering to help?"
"They don't understand, but I do. You won't stop until you achieve your goal. Since they'll agree sooner or later, why not gain some favor with you now? Maybe you'll reward me later when distributing profits. I'm just a researcher, and I want to earn a bit more. It shouldn't be a big problem, right? Oh, and besides, I can also help persuade our team leader, Dr. Cyril."
It seemed he was doing it for money, but Sylvia had dealt with many rich kids like him. Despite what he said, his actions didn't seem motivated by money.
"You don't have to lie to me. Your actions aren't just about money. What's your real goal?"
Henry thought he had hidden it well, but Sylvia saw through him and smiled knowingly.
"I didn't plan to reveal it so soon, but since you've figured it out, I'll tell you. My actions aren't about money. I have a good relationship with Cyril. He knew you were coming and asked me to help you. You need a project, right? Well, I..."
"Thanks, but no thanks."
When Sylvia heard Cyril's name, she immediately refused. Regardless of Henry's capability to convince others to collaborate, she couldn't choose him because of his association with Cyril.
Henry was stunned. Sylvia had interrupted him before he could finish his explanation. Did he have to reject every opportunity just because of Cyril?
"No, did you misunderstand? I might
be friends with Cyril, but I know what
I should and shouldn't do. You've offered so much money; I don't have a reason to refuse it. It's all about making money. As long as I'm making money, it doesn't matter Where it comes from."
Henry hurriedly explained, realizing his mistake. He had promised Cyril to handle things well.
Now he understood why Cyril had emphasized not revealing their relationship. Sylvia wouldn't accept his help once she knew.
"I'm telling you, your mindset is
wrong. Even though we're friends, I won't refuse money. Understand? So, I'm offering my help. What's wrong with collaborating with me? At least you know me. And
you can
trust that Cyril's recommendation won't lead you astray." Content

Seeing Henry's anxious explanation, Sylvia couldn't help but laugh. He obviously hadn't taken Cyril's words seriously. Now he realized Cyril's warning was valid. Sylvia wouldn't accept his help once she knew about their connection.
"Stop, don't say anything more. I
understand what you mean. But there's something you seem to have forgotten. Although Cyril and I know each other, our relationship isn't good. Especially after the divorce, don't consider him at all. So, I wouldn't dare to use anyone he recommends. Even if it's for money, I dislike using his recommendations. After all, his identity is something I avoid the most. If you hadn't mentioned Cyril's information, I might have considered you. But now, with the guy you mentioned, there's no way I'll let you join my team."
Sylvia's serious expression made it clear that Henry's efforts were in vain. He regretted his decision now. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have revealed his identity.
