Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 403: The New Investor

"Involving intangible cultural heritage won’t be dull; plus, it’ll help me understand your work."

Hand in hand, they discussed the recent forum as they walked out of the library.

Fragments of sunlight filtered through the sycamore leaves, sprinkling over the two intertwined figures, occasionally brushed by a refreshing breeze.

Nora Northwood glanced at the young couples one after another, feeling a bit sentimental about not experiencing real campus life.

At this point, there were four days left until her deadline for Jasper Sinclair.

Nora met Finnian Lawrence at a café.

She hadn’t waited long before he arrived, "Finnian, sorry to take up some of your time."

Finnian Lawrence was dressed in a beige linen outfit, resembling an elegant gentleman from the Republic era, his refined demeanor making others feel inferior.

With the movement of his steps, many girls turned to look.

"You call me Finnian, yet you still use formalities with me."

Finnian settled down, combining charisma and elegance in his gestures, embodying the true style of a noble family.

"VK is officially transitioning from a studio to a mid-to-high-end enterprise. I need an investor; do you have any interest in this area? You can take a look first."

As Nora spoke, she passed the documents to Finnian for review.

Seeing him slightly raise his brows, it seemed he was a bit interested.

However, interest is interest, reality must be faced.

"Nora, our ideas and philosophies are quite aligned." As he said this, Nora felt a surge of excitement.

Then, Finnian continued, "But the Lawrence Family has always been dedicated to traditional Chinese incense making. I’m afraid I can’t be your investor."

Within a short three minutes, Nora’s emotions went through highs and lows. Her shoulders slumped, and she appeared somewhat defeated, "I didn’t think it through, I’m sorry."

"I’m the one who should be apologizing for not being able to help you. If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me anytime."

"You’ve already helped me a lot, introducing me to various private brand exhibitions and understanding the essence of traditional incense making. Without your guidance, my insights into incense would likely remain stagnant."

As the heir to an incense-making family, Finnian genuinely appreciated Nora’s talent and understanding, naturally willing to be a mentor guiding her into the circle.

They chatted for quite a while before he added, "If VK follows the path of Chinese incense making, you might consider working with my Grandpa Lawrence."

"Really?"

To Nora, this news was even more thrilling than securing an investor.

"I’ll introduce you, but winning over the elder will depend on your skills."

"Once the initial work stabilizes, I must visit Grandpa Lawrence."

Midway through the conversation, Nora received a call from Jasper Sinclair, "Bring the VK documents to The Sinclair Group; Louis Hayes will take you to the guest room."

"Now?"

She was a bit flustered; the notice was so sudden.

"Now."

As the call ended, she guessed Jasper might want to discuss the investment, considering tomorrow was the final deadline.

Immediately, she bid a hasty farewell to Finnian and rushed to The Sinclair Group alone.

On the way, Nora kept convincing herself to settle for a compromise.

She had contacted everyone she could, yet no one agreed to a share below thirty-three percent.
