A Promising Youth novel Chapter 14

When all eyes were on me, the damn “inferiority complex and timidity” instantly made me lower my head again!

I didn't know why, but growing up, I was particularly afraid of being in public and being stared at.

Timid, unconfident, wanting to run away, unable to even speak.

“Oh, he is a new employee of our company. Uncle Lau, his words were wrong, please don’t mind.”

Clara hurriedly said in a roundabout way.

“Heh, I am happy that this boy defended you!”

Director Lau patted me on the shoulder and said with a smile in his eyes.

“By the way, you really don’t know the Stone Family?

That can't be right. “General Grey.” is the Stone Family's exclusive secret formula!”

Not being very good at lying, but never admitting it for my own safety, I finally had to keep my head down and my mouth tight, saying.

“I really don't know them. I found this formula for dyeing cloth unintentionally in a college lab.”

Although he still had some doubts, he didn't ask further, but turned to Clara and said.

“He is a talent, so Clara, keep this talent. And it is possible that in the future you will be able to continue the glory of your mother.”

“Uncle, I got it.”

She smiled and asked coyly.

“The... funds, when will they arrive?

Without money, the workers couldn't start work.

“Hey, I had it ready for you. It will be transferred to you in the morning! The economic summit is held in the weekend, so you have five days. It is a long time, right?”

As he said that, Director Lau instructed again.

“Don't make any more mistakes. The day before the summit, the costumes must be delivered in required quality and quantity, understood?”

“Yes.”

After that, Director Lau left with his men, and Clara sent them to the door. Then she said to the secretary, “Nancy, go out and close the door.”

Later, the two of us left in the conference room. She smoothed her hair and walked towards me.

I stood up and looked at her with eyes full of panic. Once, I had imagined countless times the scene of reunion with her, but I didn’t expect it would be in this conference room at the time of her company's crisis.

I looked at her. Those unbearable memories came flooding back to me!

‘Girl, do you know that if it weren't for you, I would have slit my wrists back in my sophomore year of high school, that if it weren't for you, I would have had a mental breakdown when I was put into prison by my parents, and that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to write the article that changed my fate while I was in prison! You are a light in my life and all I have!’

We looked at each other. I looked at her with mixed emotions, and she didn't blink, sizing me up.

But suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and my heart fluttered. Did she finally remember who I was?

“You were sent by the second shareholder, weren't you?!”

She asked me with wide eyes and a slight tremor in her body.

“What? What second shareholder?” I was baffled by her.

“Stop pretending!”

Her face instantly became cold and she said angrily,

“There's no one else at all but the second shareholder!

Did he ask you use this cloth-dyeing formula technology to take a stake in the company, and then he will be in charge of the company?”

I looked at her with a dumbfounded look on my face while she snorted smugly.

“Then I tell you, your purpose has been achieved. The company is in a life-and-death situation, and in order to keep the “Blue Butterfly”, to keep my mother's factory, I'll let him take charge of the company! Go and tell him now, Now!”
