The secretary had a bright idea and said, “Chairman, since you're in a bad mood, why don’t you have a video conference with them so you can give them a good scolding to vent your frustration?”Gideon, equally fed up, grinned and said, “Okay! Arrange the video conference, then! I swear I'm going to teach those scammers a lesson today!”The secretary immediately responded, “Please wait a moment, Chairman. I'll call them back right away!”With that said, he pulled out his phone and stepped outside.Wind stretched lazily and grumbled, “I've figured out the tricks of those scammers from Myanmar a long time ago. They either trick you into joining a Tencent or NetEase meeting and then control your computer remotely, or they will try to convince you to open some online financial platform, and they will then sneakily lend out money and transfer it away. Dad, mark my words, it's definitely one of these schemes.”Gideon snorted coldly and said, “I'm already pissed off. No matter what their t

Gideon also knew for sure that the other party was genuine. Judging from the other party’s temperament and the tone of their speech, it couldn't be fake. This made him feel a bit flattered and uneasy, and he became restless.When Sophie's secretary, Shenny, saw that he was silent for a while, she tried asking him, “Mr. Levatt, can you hear me speaking?”Only then did Gideon return to his senses and hastily said, “Yes, yes! You’re Miss Coop, right? Hello, it’s nice to meet you!”Shenny nodded gently and said with a smile, “Mr. Levatt, I won't beat around the bush. The reason we contacted you this time is that our chairman is interested in acquiring Violet Group. So, I want to inquire if you have any intention to sell your business, Mr. Levatt. If yes, we can start discussing the specific acquisition matters directly.”Gideon had long been hoping for a successor to take over his struggling business so he could cash out and retire peacefully. He never imagined that the country's top f

Gideon understood that the other party's worth, influence, background, and confidence far exceeded his own. So, although he felt a bit regretful, there wasn't any negative emotion to speak of.However, he was still curious and asked, “Miss Schulz, why would a big company like Schulz Group be interested in acquiring a small company like ours?”Sophie smiled and replied, “Mr. Levatt, there's no need to underestimate yourself. The size of a company isn't the only measure of its value. As for why Schulz Group wants to acquire Violet Group, to be honest, it's mainly because my grandfather enjoys Pu'er tea. With frequent safety issues in the food industry nowadays, as his granddaughter, I want to acquire a source company to ensure he can drink the safest Pu'er tea. Besides, it's not much money anyway, so it’s really just for peace of mind.”Gideon was dumbfounded after hearing this. He thought to himself, “Damn it, this is what real wealthy people do. They like Pu'er tea, so they just buy

Sophie’s words immediately caused Gideon to break out in a cold sweat. He did not doubt the authenticity of Sophie’s words because for him, he really could not think of any special significance that Violet Group would have for Sophie. In his opinion, if he missed the opportunity for Sophie’s acquisition, he might just end up working until he was seventy years old and then pass the business on to his son. Even Gideon himself did not know what his company would look like when he turned seventy. He had no idea whether the scale of the entire group and his entire family's industries would grow or shrink in a few years.However, one thing he was very clear about was that if he sold the company now and got five hundred million dollars in cash, after transferring the equity and deducting the tax calculated at 20%, he would still have five hundred and sixty million dollars left.These five hundred and sixty million dollars would be enough to ensure that he and his descendants could live

So, just as he got into the car and was ready to go home after work, he hung up Gideon's call and immediately headed to the main gate of the base to wait. At the same time, Charlie also received a call from Sophie. As soon as the call was connected, Sophie respectfully said, “Mr. Wade, Violet Group has received my intention money, and the acquisition has been finalized. The final transaction price is seven hundred million dollars. I've already informed the person in charge of the base and told him your car license plate number. You can head there directly. He'll be waiting for you at the gate and will follow your orders.”Charlie was surprised by Sophie's efficiency. In his opinion, it was rare for a girl to handle things so efficiently. Therefore, he said to Sophie, “Thank you for your hard work, Miss Schulz. Consider this money owed to you. However, the situation is special now, so I won't transfer the money to you for the time being. After I finish my urgent matters, I'll figur

Although Charlie didn't understand tea leaves, he could still grasp Vera's special attachment to the Mother of Pu'er Tea. To him, the Mother of Pu'er Tea was a kind of spiritual anchor for Vera, which spanned three centuries. Therefore, he understood why Vera longed to recreate the taste of the Mother of Pu'er Tea someday.Thus, he said to Vera, “Once the handover at Mount Twint is complete, you can consider this place your breeding ground. You can utilize your experience to see if you can breed better tea varieties.”Vera nodded and said, “Breeding is a complicated matter. I don't really understand scientific breeding, but with traditional breeding, it might take at least ten years or more to see results.”Charlie reassured her, “It’s okay. If you manage to breed it, it'll be a blessing for all tea enthusiasts, but even if you can't, you've already tasted the Mother of Pu'er Tea, and its taste will always remain in your memory.”Vera smiled slightly and said, “Mmhmm. You're righ

At this moment, the security guard stepped into the middle of the road and stopped Charlie's car, saying, “Young man, why are you back again? Didn't I tell you before that you need to make an appointment with the group first?”Jeevan was surprised to see the security guard approaching the guests and implying that they had been there before. He quickly went up to the security guard and pulled him aside, then asked Charlie, “Hello, Sir, are you the expert sent by Schulz Group?”Charlie pointed to Vera, who was beside him, and said with a smile, “I'm not the expert. This lady here is the real expert.”The security guard looked puzzled and said, “Young man, when did you two become experts?”Jeevan hurriedly said, “Mr. Dmitri, why are you talking to the guests like that? These distinguished guests are here to guide and inspect our work. You shouldn't interfere. Open the gate quickly!”Although Mr. Dmitri was surprised, Jeevan's authority made him comply, and he quickly opened the gat

In Jeevan's eyes, Charlie and Vera were equivalent to his God of Wealth, so if they wanted to go up the mountain, he naturally had to cooperate fully.So, he immediately said to them, “Please wait a moment, distinguished guests. I'll gather some people and bring more lighting equipment to accompany you up!”Charlie waved his hand and said, “No need. We're still in the stage of secret inspection. We don't want any news to leak, so you don't need to arrange anything deliberately. Let the others finish work and rest. Withdraw all the staff and security guards from Mount Violet. In addition, have the security guards shut down all the surveillance cameras on Mount Violet. We'll just go up and take a look.”In the past, Jeevan would never have agreed to such a request. Although the Mother of Pu’er Tea on Mount Twint was not the best Pu'er tea tree, it was still famous in Yorkshire Hill. It was also the core competitiveness of the entire Violet Group. If someone stole its branches to graft

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with

At this point, Don Albert could very well be Jacob's personal messiah.Even if he did threaten Zachary with calling Charlie persistently, he actually wouldn't dare call Charlie.After all, how would he start explaining that he was involved in a crime? And telling Charlie was basically telling his daughter—what would they think of him after this? Would he ever be able to hold his head high in the family again?As such, his only option now was to ask Don Albert and see if he would help.What he didn't know was that Don Albert was with Charlie, who had already anticipated Jacob's move.When Jacob realized he couldn't stop Zachary, Jacob would find someone who could, and Don Albert was the best man for the job!To no surprise, Don Albert's phone soon started ringing with a call from Jacob.Don Albert didn't answer right away, however, instead turning toward Charlie as he asked gingerly, "So, shall I stick to your script, Master Wade?"Seeing Charlie nod, he pressed on, "Should I

As soon as Jacob sent the voice message, Mr. Bay called.Jacob quickly answered, asking nervously, "How are things over there, Mr. Bay?""How, you ask…?" Mr. Bay sighed in exasperation. "The entire Calligraphy and Painting Association was demanding your dismissal as soon as Zachary Evans posted his statement, thinking that you have no business being the administrative vice president let alone have a place in the association."Even those officials came asking me questions, and you know how they are—gossipers, every last one of them, always finding out about the juicy stuff instantly even if it's really no big deal. The only excuse I have to stop them is that we don't have the facts, but this issue still needs to be taken care of."So, be straight with me. Were you a part of this? If you don't, do you have any definitive evidence that can refute Zachary's claims?""I… Uh…" Jacob stammered, unable to answer.He certainly wanted to say no, but he had no evidence to back himself up.

Jacob bellowed furiously, "Raymond Cole made over 19 million dollars! From my bronze sculpture! Yet you're telling me to refund that 300 thousand too?! You're just fucking with me, aren't you?!""Well, if you don't like it, just do what you like, then," Zachary replied calmly and quickly hung up before Jacob could answer.Jacob was left twitching and shaking endlessly, and there was no telling if it was from rage or fear.Beside him, Elaine quickly asked, "What did Zachary say, dear? Can he get that bronze sculpture back?"Caught by surprise at her question, Jacob flinched, and his phone slipped out of his grasp.As it seemed to hover in the air, he tried to catch it twice but failed, but Elaine managed to grab it.It was then that she noticed that he was sweating all over his face, and she promptly asked, "What's wrong, dear?"Coming to his senses, Jacob's eyes went wide with rage. "Zachary is trying to kill me! He leaked the whole thing to his Twitter page—it's like he's pulli
