178 The FMC fundraiser (4)

The evening progressed well. The band on the stage was playing light tunes, people were chatting, and the overall atmosphere was great.

During dinner, Chairman Lee is at table number one and he regretted that he didn't sit at the table with the number five or at least at number four. 

The number one table is good as well, but those other two tables are hosting donors who have higher donation budgets. Each company is making donation budgets based on their profits (it's related to the amount of tax benefits), and he is currently entertaining guests ranked as third on his list.

When he checked the party-attendance records for the donors, the highest-ranking donor with a good chance of not sending proxies was Coreworks Inc. so he placed them at his table.

Coreworks Inc. is the third one on the guestlist (sorted based on the profits). The second one is Novabank (at table number four) and the first is the Alpha group (at table number five).
