The shareholders took turns flattering Gregory. He couldn't help but beam with pride. Who would've thought his reputation had become so impressive that folks from Club 257 were coming to him by name?
Just then, his secretary called again, her voice even more urgent than before. "Mr. Gregory, Stonnell International is on the line, and they want to collaborate with us!"
"What?!" Gregory was so shocked he nearly dropped his phone. Stonnell International wanted to work with them too? What was going on today? Why were all these big shots coming to him?
"Quick, transfer the call!"
The secretary hurriedly connected the call. "Is this Mr. Gregory?" A somewhat cold male voice came through the line.
Gregory tried to keep his tone calm. "Speaking."
"Is Gale Corporation working on a simulation robot program?"
Gregory's heart raced. Could it be that Stonnell International, like Club 257, was interested in this project? "We are indeed developing in that direction. Is Stonnell International... also interested in this proposal?"
"Our Mr. Connor isn't interested in the proposal itself, but he's willing to invest seven hundred million as a favor to you, Mr. Gregory," the man said. "When are you available? We'd like to visit and discuss further details."
As a favor to him... Gregory was genuinely flattered. The shareholders, who had been listening in, looked at him with a mix of awe and confusion.
They had been with Gregory for so long, but they never realized he was so well-connected. Both Stonnell International and Club 257 had come to him. He was really on the rise!
"How about tomorrow morning at ten?" Gregory suggested, hesitating just a bit. He had already planned to meet with Club 257 at that time. If Stonnell International's people came over too, they'd see how in-demand the simulation robot program was.
