At Nicole’s words, everyone unanimously looked at Old Master Ferguson.He was the person in charge of the Ferguson family. Although he stepped down from Ferguson Corporation, his prestige was still there, so he could not be taken lightly.On occasions like this, he was the eldest and had the most seniority, so he would undoubtedly become the focus of the whole event.The silent Eric had no intention to steal the limelight.No one noticed that Eric was unusually quiet today.Old Master Ferguson saw that it was almost time and there were enough people.He stood firm with his old back and walked away, his shrewd and cunning eyes flashing with pride.Soon, he stood there with all eyes on him.“Dear friends, it’s a great honor to invite you to Ferguson Corporation’s party today. I’m sure you all are curious about what the theme of today’s banquet is.”His eyes slowly swept through the crowd and gazed at Eric’s face below the stage.Eric leaned lazily against a wine cabinet, casual
Anyone could see that this was Old Master Ferguson’s revenge on Eric.Eric could force Old Master Ferguson to leave, but he could not force him to dispose of his shares.This matter also made people wonder if Eric’s domination in the business world had come to an end.“Next, please welcome Cyndro International’s Vice President, Mr. Asher Sullivan to reach a friendly agreement with us on behalf of Cyndro International!”Old Master Ferguson stretched out his hand, and an unfamiliar but handsome face appeared from one side.Asher Sullivan.Nicole narrowed her eyes. If she was not mistaken, she had worked for Asher when she was abroad as an intern.However, Asher was just a department manager at that time. She did not expect him to become a vice president so soon!Nevertheless, his ability was outstanding, so it was only a matter of time before he made a name for himself.Without thinking much, Asher stood on the stage, smiling quietly no matter how many eyes were staring at him,
Everyone was shocked.Old Master Ferguson frowned. “The President of Cyndro International is here?”He had clearly only heard about the Vice President, Asher Sullivan, coming to Mediania.The President of Cyndro International was mysterious, and very few people had met him. All of Cyndro International’s matters, whether large or small, were handed over to professional agents.However, those professional agents acted in accordance with this mysterious president’s intention.Unqualified agents who had been working for them for several years would be replaced directly.That was until Asher was accepted. He stayed in the position of Vice President for the longest time.Therefore, the name Asher Sullivan of Cyndro International was well known in the industry.Asher could fully represent Cyndro International. Everyone was interested in the person behind Cyndro International, but they could not figure it out.Therefore, when Asher suddenly announced the presence of Cyndro Internation
Asher smiled calmly and spoke appropriately.“Perhaps I didn’t make myself clear just now. Let me formally introduce you to the President of Cyndro International, Mr. Eric Ferguson!”As soon as he finished, Mitchell, who was standing in front, suddenly took the lead in clapping.One after another, applause rang out in the venue.They were undoubtedly welcoming the President of Cyndro International and acknowledging the multiple identities of Eric from Ferguson Corporation.Was it surprising?Everyone was already in awe of Eric’s power, but it turns out that he was also the President of Cyndro International. His status was even more unreachable.Eric’s face was cold as his dark eyes glanced at all the people present. The moment he saw Nicole, he paused slightly, and his thin lips curled into a small smile. Then, he said with a low and cold voice.“Everyone, the cooperation between Cyndro International and Ferguson Corporation is a brand-new beginning. This was Old Master Ferguso
Old Master Ferguson was trembling with anger as he pointed to Mitchell beside Eric.“Mitchell introduced Asher from Cyndro International to me just so I would sell the shares to retaliate against you. Since your eyes are everywhere in Mediania, I would definitely choose a foreign company instead of a domestic one… You— You planned all this!”Mitchel calmly stood by Eric’s side and spoke unhurriedly.“Old Master Ferguson, no one forced you to sell your shares. If it stayed in your own hands, you would still be a part of Ferguson Corporation. President Ferguson doesn’t care about Ferguson Corporation’s scattered shares. Everyone can have a piece of the pie. It was you who united with people from Ferguson Corporation’s branches to go against the president. Have you ever thought of Ferguson Corporation’s fate if it fell into the hands of other people?”“Shut up. You have no right to speak up here!”Old Master Ferguson took his anger out on Mitchell.This person who had seemingly betr
Eric’s back was firm and despondent as if he was rejecting people from a thousand miles away.He really had not changed at all.Old Master Ferguson was already in his twilight years. Although he could not be compared to Eric, his power was still there.Trying to attack someone stronger than oneself would only bring about one’s own destruction.The glass in Clayton’s hand gently touched Nicole’s, his smile gentle and light.“What are you thinking about? I didn’t expect Mr. Ferguson to turn the tide like this. He won beautifully.”Nicole looked away. The resplendent and magnificent hall did not drive away the lonely figure in her mind.She tried to make herself indifferent.Her tone also became relaxed.“Yes, it was really unexpected.”She knew that Eric would not lose, but she did not expect him to win so thoroughly.“Nicole, do you feel sorry for him?”Nicole froze and turned her head to look at Clayton.Clayton pursed his lips as his expression became slightly complicated
Asher saw Nicole’s cold attitude and decided to take a different approach.Since the emotional route did not work, he tried to throw out the bait.After all, there were too many countries in Mediania that wanted to cooperate with Cyndro International.Nicole smiled and lifted her eyes coldly.“Sorry, but I don’t think we have a chance to cooperate.”When Clayton heard this, he understood that Asher and Nicole were just acquaintances.Clayton looked at the coldness on Nicole’s face and walked forward with a smile, putting his hand gently on her shoulder.“Didn’t you say that you wanted to watch a movie? It’s about time…”Nicole looked at him and smiled, nodding naturally.“Then let’s go!”The two of them left under Asher’s gaze.Asher cursed silently and helplessly finished the wine in his glass in one gulp.Mitchell saw the scene earlier clearly.He walked over. “Mr. Sullivan, do you know Ms. Stanton?”Asher nodded and did not hide it since Mitchell was one of Eric’s men.
Seeing Nicole fall silent, Clayton pursed his lips.“I’m sorry. I’m not trying to force you into anything, but you promised me that you’ll give me a chance. You… Won’t go back on your word, right?”Nicole bit her lower lip and suddenly felt her face burn up a little.She thought it might be because of the lack of air circulation in the confined space of the car.“I won’t.”She answered quickly and immediately changed the topic.“Mr. Sloan, aren’t you curious about how Asher and I met?”Clayton paused and smiled. “How did you meet?”Nicole was eager to make the atmosphere casual and normal again, so she simply spoke of the past.“Asher was just a low-level manager in Cyndro International a few years ago. I worked under him when I was interning abroad.”Clayton looked at her in surprise.There was too much information in her words.With her background in Stanton Corporation, did Nicole still need an internship?Did Asher become the Vice President of Cyndro International in j
