“The Gillete Group?” Jason frowned slightly.Kuhn immediately explained, “Mr. Queen, the Gillete Group is one of the top enterprises in Clouspring. They are financially stable and have a strong network. They are in a completely different league when compared to Wolfenden Corp.“Mr. Queen, if you are looking for a collaboration partner in Clouspring, the clear choice would be the Gillete Group. On the other hand, Wolfenden Corp. is not financially strong, and there have been rumors of poor quality issues…”Jason patiently listened to Kuhn’s explanation without interrupting him. After getting the most out of it, he calmly queried. “From what I have heard, Wolfenden Corp. seems to be operating without any problem. The few projects that they have undertaken in Clouspring have gotten them some good reviews.”“Those projects are just of a mediocre standard. There is nothing much in their portfolio worth shouting out about,” Kuhn replied with a disdainful look on his face. “If you are ava
“Grandpa, I’m calling it a night.” Sadie announced her departure.“Okay, go on along,” said Hugh.While Kayson was making his next move on the chessboard, he asked, “Grandpa Hugh, I have something that I would like to ask.”“Go ahead and ask. I will tell you everything I know,” Hugh replied while making his move.“Actually, I wanted to ask about how you got acquainted with my mentor. What happened between the two of you? He told me that he owed you a favor. I know my mentor quite well and suffice to say, it’s not something common for him to owe someone a favor,” said Kayson.Hugh’s brow twitched before he moved one of his chess pieces and said quietly, “Your mentor… Owes me quite a lot. It’s not something that you can put a price tag on. Kace, why are you suddenly asking about this? Could it be that you are planning to leave when the favor is paid back?”Kayson maintained his composure while replying, “No. It’s just that I’m curious about what happened.”“Hahaha, what your mento
“Ms. Sadie, I was wondering if you would be available tonight? I have some details about Plot No. 8 that I would like to discuss with you,” asked Jason.Sadie was caught off guard. She carefully asked back, “Mr. Queen, are you referring to the Westcity Plot No. 8?”Jason answered, “Of course.”Sadie felt a surge of happiness and excitement. However, she calmed herself down and cautiously probed, “With regards to Westcity Plot No. 8, I heard from Mr. Lawson that…”“Are you referring to Trevor Lawson?” Jason chuckled. “He most likely duped you. Why would I discuss such an important thing with a mere shareholder?”“Thank you, Mr. Queen! I am free and available at any time!” Sadie replied excitedly.“Okay then. Let’s arrange to meet up at 6:30 p.m. tonight. Let’s meet up at the lobby of the Shengville Hotel. Oh, and if it’s possible, perhaps you could invite the chairman to join us as well,” said Jason.After ending the call, Sadie was so happy and grateful for this opportunity that
Sadie, Liam, and Kayson stopped in their tracks. They saw two familiar faces, Johnson and his son, Kuhn!Johnson and Kuhn were equally stumped to see Liam and Sadie. Why would Liam and Sadie be there?Liam did not expect to meet them both. With the smile from his face gone, he greeted them. “Mr. Zigler, Kuhn, nice to meet you two here.”Kuhn squinted his eyes slightly and asked with a condescending tone, “Are you here for dinner, Liam? Which client are you meeting up with?”It was at this time that Liam recalled the call between Johnson and Hugh and felt bitter at how the call had gone. And now, Kuhn was condescendingly talking to them.Liam replied, “I am just meeting up with a regular client, who is definitely not as important as your client.”Kuhn chuckled. “That is without saying. Tonight, we are meeting up with Mr. Gillete and Mr. Queen, the director of Triumph Land. We don’t have dinner with just anybody.” Kuhn was trying to agitate Liam on purpose. After all, they had alre
Johnson and Kuhn’s faces froze. They stood still like two figurines. Even Liam was surprised and only regained composure after a few seconds. He hurriedly held out his hand to shake Jason’s hand. “Mr. Queen, you are too humble. We too have just recently arrived.”In his mind, Liam was absolutely shocked. Jason had walked right past the Ziglers to greet them!This was something that none of them expected. It seemed like Jason couldn’t be bothered to meet up with the Ziglers. Although Liam was unsure about what was happening, he understood that he should just go along with the flow.“Mr. Queen…” Johnson was now trembling. It wasn’t clear if the trembling was due to anger, fear, or other factors.Jason turned his head around and asked, “is there anything I can help you two gentlemen with?”Johnson was totally shocked. Kuhn intercepted upon seeing what had just happened. He smiled. “Mr. Queen, did we not have an agreement to meet up tonight?”“Oh! A meet-up tonight, right? Isn’t this
“Why are you addressing me as Mr. Queen? I’m older than Mr. Wolfenden, so you can address me as Uncle Jason.”Sadie was overwhelmed by Jason’s kind mannerism. ‘Is Jason Queen such an easygoing person?’“May I know who this is?” Jason pretended not to be acquainted with Kayson after noticing him. After all, Zachary and Kayson had instructed him to do so.Sadie’s expression appeared slightly uneasy. She hesitated for a moment before she said, “This is my friend, and his name is Kayson Yarde.”Jason nodded indifferently. “Kayson Yarde… I shall remember you.”Yvette wanted to laugh, but she held back the urge to do so by the side.Kayson was calm and composed.Jason chuckled and said, “Let’s order first. We shall talk more while we eat.”After placing their orders, Jason lived up to his reputation as the director of a large corporation by completely taking control of the conversation during the meal.Both parties discussed Plot No. 8 and arrived at the topic of Trevor.Jason shoo
Wilson’s pupils constricted, and he stood over there in embarrassment.He did not expect that Jason would actually disrespect him like that.Even though Jason had no fear of him, generally, they would show some respect for each other in public even if they were not close.After all, perhaps they might need each other in the near future.He utilized this ideology and waited there for more than two hours.It was a waste that he had underestimated Jason.Jason walked past him straightforwardly without bothering to show him any grace.Let alone the fact that Jason despised Wilson from the start. It would be impossible for him to regard Wilson kindly now that Wolfenden Corp. influenced him.“Liam, Sadie, this is as far as I will send you off. I’ll pay a visit to your company once the contract is drafted.”Liam said in haste, “Do notify me by then, and I’ll drop by, Jason.”Jason said in all apparent seriousness, “I have yet to visit your company, so please tour me around the build
Hugh was already at his golden age, yet Johnson had still insulted him. Thus, he had trouble making peace with that incident.Sadie’s face was glowing with joy. “Hmm! Uncle Jason actually invited the Ziglers and us simultaneously. We thought that we were doomed in the beginning.“Unexpectedly, Uncle Jason showed up when the Ziglers were making sarcastic remarks at us, and he humiliated them!“Uncle Jason took Dad and me upstairs for a meal before the Ziglers and ignored them completely!“Grandpa, it’s a waste that you didn’t get to see their faces. I could see that Johnson almost died from anger.”Hugh’s eyes widened in surprise, and he said incredulously, “How did that happen? We are not bound by any friendship with Mr. Queen…”Liam said smilingly, “It’s possible that Jason can’t stand the Ziglers’ mannerism.”Hugh furrowed his eyebrows tightly and felt the situation was more complicated than it seemed.‘Even if Mr. Queen can’t stand the Ziglers, he can’t possibly disrespect J
