"I've already found a suitable company and I should be able to get all the paperwork done by tomorrow afternoon," Hugo said. "That's good, but getting the paperwork done by tomorrow afternoon may be a little too late. You need to hurry things up, Hugo," Renee was relieved but still wished that Hugo could hurry for safety measures. That way, they could avoid any unexpected interference and obtain a partnership with Cynthion Group. "Renee's right. Hugo, you need to speed things up and try to finish things up by tomorrow morning. Whatever you need, we'll cooperate. Mistakes aren't allowed!" Caleb said and placed all his hope on Hugo. The other elders felt the same. Due to Renee's interference, they all regained their composure and no longer trusted Jayden. Instead, they placed their hope on Hugo. "I'll do my best," Hugo nodded. "Dad, it's still not appropriate! I told you that Hugo's theory about the pharmaceutical firm is just a guess and it may not be what Leon wants. If H
"But," Jayden was reluctant to give up but was immediately interrupted by Renee. "Uncle, you are worried over nothing. Leon has already started preparing for the establishment of the branch. The pharmaceutical firm we acquired for him would be exactly what he needs. We won't be working in vain." Her tone was determined and unquestionable. "What a joke! You're not Leon, so how would you know that this is what he needs? Did he tell you that himself?" Jayden scoffed. "Of course, I know. Even if Leon didn't put it into words, it showed in his actions," Renee said calmly and proceeded to explain how Leon recruited a saleswoman. The fact that Leon recruited the saleswoman to be the branch's vice president in preparation for the next step. Leon had no connection in the western region and if he wanted to establish a firm here, acquiring a preexisting pharmaceutical firm would be the quickest option. Hence, she could be certain that Hugo was wise. So long as Hugo managed to comp
The next morning in a hotel room, Renee arrived shortly after Leon woke up. "Renee, why are you here?" Leon was quite surprised that Renee would come to him two days in a row. "Leon, I came because I needed to speak with you about something," Renee said. Last night, Hugo and the others agreed to speed up the process of the acquisition. However, the paperwork required time. To prevent any accident from taking place, she came to the hotel to look for Leon early in the morning. This was her way of stalling and preventing Leon from visiting the Dagleshs before Hugo completed all the procedures. If Leon ended up working with the Dagleshs, everything would be too late. "What is it?" Leon asked. "I'll tell you about it later on. Just come with me. I'll take you to a place. You'll know what it is once you arrive." Renee intentionally acted mysteriously. "Um, alright! Let's go!" Leon was thoughtful and could not figure out what she was trying to do. Hence, he intended to fol
"Leon, what do you think of this company? Can it compare to Cynthion Group in terms of facilities and scale?" Renee asked with a smile. "It's not bad. It's grand with sufficient facilities, making it comparable to Cynthion Group," Leon said. "Great! That means you are satisfied with this company, right?" Renee became even more confident. "Yeah, I am! But why does that matter?" Leon nodded, before realizing something was off. "It's good to know that you are happy with this, Mister Wolf!" Just then, a refreshing voice sounded. Hugo strode out of the pharmaceutical firm with two middle-aged men who were dressed in suits, looking like the stereotypical elite. "Mister Morrison, why are you here?" Leon was surprised to see her. He glanced at Renee, then at Hugo in bafflement, not knowing what they were up to. "Mister Wolf, this pharmaceutical firm was acquired by the Morrisons as a gift to Cynthion Group. If you are satisfied with it, you can have it. With this firm, you woul
"Leon, what happened before is our fault, but Hugo never meant for things to turn out this way. He's always wanted to work with Cynthion Group and has worked hard for it. Out of consideration for his effort, please agree to partner with us," Renee chimed in when she spotted the troubled look on Leon's face. She stared at him, doe-eyed, pleading for Leon to hand over the opportunity to the Morrisons. "I-" Leon paled. He, too, knew that Hugo was a talented individual. Back in the southern region, Hugo saw through the potential of Cynthion Gorup and decisively sought a partnership on behalf of the Morrisons. That was how they reached the initial agreement. This proved that Hugo was perceptive and sharp. On top of that, Hugo was reliable as well. To work with Cynthion Group, he managed to gather all the herbs Leon needed for the alchemical pills within a short period, then acquire a pharmaceutical firm to resolve Leon's concern for the branch in the western region. This s
"Good!" Upon learning that Jayden was punished, Leon realized that Caleb and the elders recognized their mistakes and were relieved. He considered for a moment and added, "I have another demand! If we form a partnership, I want all matters to be controlled by you or Miss Morrison! Others, including Elder Morrison, will have no right to interfere with any decision-making! Otherwise, I reserve the right to revoke the partnership at any time!" Leon said. Since Caleb and the elders were too arrogant, Leon had a horrible impression on them all. Though they recognized their mistakes, he was still concerned. For safety measures, he wished for Hugo to be fully in charge to avoid the others from meddling and causing any loss for Cynthion Group. Apart from Hugo, Leon also had a decent impression of Renee after spending a few days with her. Back at the hotel, he was prepared to give up on the Morrisons. It was Renee's words that changed his mind and convinced him to give the Morrisons
"It's fine! Mister Wolf, my grandpa, and the elders have offended you. Consider this pharmaceutical firm a gift from us as an apology. You don't have to pay me back," Hugo smiled. Though they spent a fortune on this pharmaceutical firm, he successfully obtained a partnership with Cynthion Group. This was more than enough. To make up for the Morrisons' mistakes and show how sincere they were, he intended to offer the company as a gift. "No way! I didn't do anything to deserve this. The Morrisons acquired this firm for Cynthion Group and this saves me a lot of time and effort. I'm already thankful for that. I can't just let the Morrisons pay for it!" Leon shook his head. There were appropriate ways to make profits. This was a large pharmaceutical firm that would cost hundreds of millions. As a friend, he could accept a gift from Hugo that cost a few million, but not a firm that cost this much. He could not possibly accept something so expensive and allow the Morrisons to
"Mister Wolf, here's the thing; You've just taken over this company and may not know much about it. If you want to transform it into a branch for Cynthion Group, you'll need quite a lot of time. These two are talented individuals and capable. If it's okay with you, I can arrange for them to help with managing all related matters so that your branch can be up and running as soon as possible," Leon explained. "I see!" Realization dawned on Leon. Now that he reached an agreement with the Morrisons, his priority was to establish the branch and produce alchemical pills as soon as possible. However, the need for alchemical pills was high and this would take him a lot of time and effort. He was only one person and may not be able to manage this branch or transform this pharmaceutical firm into a branch for Cynthion Group. Hugo was considerate enough to consider his struggles and even arranged for two talented individuals to manage the new branch. This worked perfectly for Leon and
