Jason walked past the crowd of people before walking toward the security guard and saying, “Brother, I am the deputy general manager of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center. My family owns this convention and exhibition center. Could you allow me to step closer to appreciate the two cars at a closer distance?”“No!” One of the security guards who had recently retired from the army replied firmly. “Our boss has already instructed us not to allow anyone to approach the cars. Only the owner of the car is allowed to approach the cars!”Jason was very angry and frustrated at this moment.D*mn! He was really not allowed to touch the cars at all.This was extremely embarrassing. Moreover, this exhibition center was owned by his family!If he was truly not allowed to touch either of the two cars, wouldn’t that mean that he was exactly the same as Charlie?No! Jason could not afford to lose face to Charlie.Jason suppressed the frustration that he was feeling as he continued
At this time, a manager dressed in a suit hurried over as soon as he heard the commotion.There was a group of sturdy and muscular bodyguards following closely behind him.“What is happening? Who is causing a commotion here?”When Jason saw the manager, he asked him arrogantly, “Are you the person-in-charge?”“Yes.” The man nodded before he continued speaking, “I am the executive manager of the auto show exhibition. My name is Luke Marshall. You are?”Jason snorted before he said, “I am Jason Grant, the owner of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center!”Luke nodded slightly before he replied, “So, you are Mr. Grant. What is the matter?”Jason spoke to him coldly, “Your subordinates are truly very incapable! I want to go up to the platform so that I can take a closer look at the cars, but he refused to let me do so. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?”Luke smiled before he replied, “Sorry, Mr. Grant, but these two cars have already been bought by a cu
”Mr. Quinton, there is a Mr. Grant from the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center who is insisting on touching the Aston Martin ONE-77. There is a fight going on right now. What should I do now?”Graham was extremely shocked, and he immediately burst out, “I bought that car for Mr. Wade! I don’t care who wants to touch the cars. Other than Mr. Wade, no one else is allowed to touch the cars! If anyone tries to touch the car, I want the security guard to break his hand!”Luke hurriedly replied, “Mr. Quinton, the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center belongs to the Grant family. Wouldn’t it be a little too much if we did that?”“So what?! Who cares about the Grant family!” Graham yelled violently over the phone. “The Grant family is nothing to me! I am giving you an order right now. If that kid with the last name Grant dares to lay a finger on the car that I bought, I want you to get out of Aurous Hill, and you’d better pray that I never see you again!”Graham had just g
Jason was extremely frightened, but he was also very furious and angry at this time.He had gotten beaten up in the convention and exhibition center that he owned, and he even had to kneel and apologize to the person who had beat him up. Most importantly, he was beaten up and humiliated in front of Claire. This was the biggest humiliation that he had ever suffered in his life!However, Jason knew that he could not afford to provoke the Quinton family. Therefore, he could only curse at Charlie in his heart.He felt that all of this had only happened because Charlie was the one who had challenged him to touch the car. As a result, he had been beaten up and humiliated in front of Claire. He had to exact revenge on Charlie! He had to make him pay for what he had done today!At this time, Luke quickly ordered the security guards, “Okay, stop beating him already.”The security guards stopped hitting him immediately. The security guards working for the convention and exhibition center ha
Jason laughed even louder when he heard Charlie’s words. “Charlie, are you addicted to lying? Do you even know your own place or status at all? Do you really think you have the qualifications to ride in this car?”Jessica also said disdainfully, “Claire, I am honestly disappointed that you have married such a useless person who likes to boast.”At this time, Claire felt completely helpless and could only stare at Charlie with a disappointed expression on her face.Was this guy seriously mentally retarded? Did he truly not understand the consequences of his actions even on an occasion like this?Charlie could not be bothered to explain himself, and so, he simply took out the two smart bracelet keys from his pocket before waving them in front of Luke who was in charge of the auto show. After that, he asked lightly, “Have you seen these before?”Luke was shocked when he saw the smart bracelet keys in Charlie’s hands.After that, he suddenly recalled what Graham had told him over the
Everyone on the scene was shocked when Charlie unlocked the Aston Martin ONE-77 with the smart bracelet key.They could only exclaim in their hearts: The Aston Martin ONE-77 actually belonged to Charlie!Jason was also dumbfounded at this time. What was happening?!Wasn’t Charlie just a broke son-in-law?How could he possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?!Jessica was also stunned. “This… this is unbelievable. How could this man possibly afford to buy an Aston Martin ONE-77 when he was such a poor and useless man?”Then, Charlie led Claire to the passenger seat before smiling and saying, “My dear wife, why don’t you get into the car? I will take you for a spin!”Claire looked at Charlie with a confused expression on her face as she asked, “Charlie, is this car really yours?”Charlie nodded. “Of course. The key is already in my hand. Why would I lie to you?”After saying that, Charlie quickly whispered into her ear, “Wife, to be honest, Graham lent this car to me so that
Jessica was also beaten until her hair was disheveled and her mouth was crooked at this time. Jason could not help but yell out in pain.After beating them up, Luke ordered the security guards to throw them out of the exhibition hall.Jason lay on the concrete floor as he yelled angrily, “D*mn it! Who the hell is this Mr. Wade?!”Jessica also said angrily, “He is just the son-in-law of the Wilson family. I think that he is just a driver. How could he possibly have any status at all?!”Blood was already spewing out of Jason’s mouth as he yelled, “That useless piece of trash! I will never let him off so easily.”Gritting his teeth, he continued, “And Claire! She will never be able to escape from me!”Therefore, the Aston Martin ONE-77 was driven out of the exhibition hall just like that.The super luxurious sports car aroused the attention and curiosity of countless people on the street.Claire also felt that it was a very thrilling and novel experience as this was her first time
After sending his text message, Charlie kept receiving text replies.The first to reply was Jasmine. “Mr. Wade, don’t worry! I will definitely come over to congratulate your wife tomorrow!”After that, Graham replied: “Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Wade. I will definitely come over to join you for the opening ceremony tomorrow!”Zeke replied: “Mr. Wade, I will make sure to bring my son and nephew along with me to congratulate your wife tomorrow! After all, I really want those two rascals to apologize to you in person…”In fact, everyone was very excited to receive Charlie’s invitation because they felt that it was a good opportunity for them to get closer to him.Claire initially had some qualms about her opening ceremony tomorrow. She would never have expected her husband to prepare a grand opening ceremony for her!After getting back home, Claire quickly washed up so that she could rest earlier and prepare for the opening ceremony of her studio tomorrow morning.Charlie al
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
