Conrad and Colin were already in the conference room. After Jasper led Henry, Julian, Dwayne, and several of his employees into the room, the main door was closed.
The shareholders meeting had officially begun.
Countless forces and individuals in Southeast Province stared at the main door of the conference room.
In a sense, this was Jasper and Dawson, both emerging bigwigs, challenging the veterans of Southeast Province, the Monty family.
The result of this battle could potentially affect the trend of the entire upper class circle in Southeast Province.
In other parts of the country, the hot money market institutions involved in the mineral industry and even the real estate industry had their eyes fixed on this event today.
The shareholders meeting had a much wider scope of influence than anyone would have imagined.
In the conference room, Jasper and the group’s arrival caught everyone’s attention immediately.
After exchanging glances with Colin, they both tore their gazes away. Jasper was about to speak to Henry when he heard a fit of laughter.
Conrad walked toward them with open arms.
Obviously, he was here to greet Dwayne, not Jasper.
Conrad and Dwayne seemed really close.
“It’s been half a year since we last met, Dwayne. I remember you have rheumatoid arthritis, are your legs better now?”
Jasper mulled over Conrad’s deliberate show of friendliness.
Dwayne seemed a little awkward, but he still hugged Conrad lightly and said in a polite tone, “Thanks for your concern, Mr. Monty. My legs are much better now.”
“Much better means that they haven’t completely healed, then.” Conrad seemed to be unaware of how awkward Dwayne looked. He finished his sentence with a smile and turned around to say to Benjamin, “Remind me to send Dwayne a jar of my old medicinal wine after this. That’s the best cure for rheumatism. Even my father is drinking it.”
