She and Barney had chosen the same painting, drawn by their shared taste.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The painting depicted children in an orphanage, rendered with wildly imaginative colors that exaggerated the loneliness of each child.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela had been captivated by the painting\u2019s unique palette, but Barney\u2019s perspective was different. She still remembered his words from that day: he liked the painting simply because he had a sister he had never met.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, his mother had sent her to the orphanage, and now, following her mother\u2019s dying wish, he had come to Goldmont City in search of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But finding someone with no trace of information in such a sprawling city was like searching for a needle in the ocean. Barney\u2019s previous visits had all ended in failure. It was only by chance, attending a friend\u2019s exhibition, that he saw this orphanage-themed painting and felt a pang of emotion, wanting to take it home as a memento.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Touched by his sincerity, Angela had willingly let him have the painting.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She never imagined that this guy would turn out to be the vice chairman of Jayelle City\u2019s largest energy company, \u201cSolara Energy,\u201d a household name and the city\u2019s most sought-after bachelor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Barney came from an illustrious background. The Lemont family had a long line of diplomats for three generations. By the time his father took over, the family had begun venturing into business-but still at the behest of the state, pioneering breakthroughs in new energy and technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Because of this, Solara Energy became a state-backed family company, enjoying an unassailable position in Jayelle City and a top-tier reputation nationally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela\u2019s parents, having retired from the research institute, had continued working at Solara Energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Solara Energy had recently planned to establish a branch in Goldmont City, though the project had yet to be finalized. Angela had initially intended to ask her parents to help her secure the opportunity-but unexpectedly, she met Barney.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He already had a favorable impression of her, and being someone who valued talent, he was impressed by the standout research data in her papers. Seeing that her parents also held senior positions at the company, he immediately decided to invest.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This trip to Jayelle City was Angela\u2019s preparation for the new branch. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBarney, you asked to see me?\u201d Angela asked softly, her tone respectful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes,\u201d Barney nodded, sliding a plane ticket and some documents across the desk. He tapped the gold- embossed invitation with his finger. \u201cPrepare yourself. Tomorrow, we\u2019re going to Goldmont City.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTomorrow?\u201d Angela glanced at the invitation to the International Investment Summit on Future Industries.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She quickly scanned the participants\u2019 list: national industrial funds, internationally renowned investment banks, and giants in energy and pharmaceuticals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 382\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Her eyes lingered the longest on the Morrison Group, the most famous pharmaceutical company in Goldmont City. She recalled how close the Fox family had come to securing investment from them.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes. A few of my friends will also be attending. Take your project proposal; the key data is all there. They should find it interesting. You might gain a lot from this.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Barney was clearly paving the way for her. Otherwise, he didn\u2019t have to personally go to Goldmont City-he could have just sent Angela.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A spark lit Angela\u2019s eyes, and she couldn\u2019t hide her excitement. \u201cGot it! I\u2019ll prepare right away! Thank you, Barney!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her so animated, a faint smile curved Barney\u2019s lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWill you be ready before the end of the day?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Angela hesitated, unsure of what he meant. \u201cYes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been busy the past couple of days and didn\u2019t get a chance to host you properly,\u201d he said. \u201cHow about we grab a quick meal at a nearby restaurant later? I\u2019ll invite your parents too-we can have a small gathering.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Billionaire\u2019s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 382 Advertisement Read Billionaire&#039;s Match By Tangy Candy Novel Chapter 382 \u2013 Love [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[78],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26903","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-billionaires-checkmate-novel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26903","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26903"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26903\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26903"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26903"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26903"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
