“That’s why it’s worrying. Henry used to pretend in front of me, but now he’s back to his original identity.” Wendy said.
“Don’t overthink it. Even if the Moses Group wants to enter Oshary, it’llake time. While Henry is still abroad, we need to solidify our base. The Quinn Group is stable. So is the Fred family. All that’s left is Cloud Hospital and Typhoon Corp. That gives us the window we need. Chase tried to calm her.
“You’re right. That’s the only way to look at it.”
Typhoon Corp.’s grand opening banquet was scheduled for five days later. The tailor had already delivered Chase’s suit, which Melody carefully tucked away. Wendy’s dress was custom–made and supplied exclusively by the Quinn Group’s fashion label.
The building was completely renovated. Departments were up and running, but the CEO and vice president had yet to officially assume their roles.
“The Meyer family is fighting again. They say Mario has too much control and want Caesar to take back some shares. It’s been going on for days,” Wendy told Chase.
Chase looked at Wendy as she removed her makeup, clearly intrigued. “But Caesar has full control. What can they even do?”
“They worry about public perception. The Meyer family is a large household, much like the Freds. It’s impossible to manage every member; but they try to keep things in check. I think you should support them this time.”
Wendy had her hair pinned up, drops of water still on her face. She looked at Chase and said, “Cloud Hospital is going public. Typhoon Corp. has always been a top brand in paper media. Go with Melody and secure a partnership. Lend Mario some support.”
This had to be done before the opening banquet to avoid disrupting the event.
“Got it. If you say so, I’ll do it.” Chase said.
This time, Wendy wasn’t asking for herself; she wanted Chase to make a name for himself in the business world.
She explained, “Cloud Hospital going public with only the Quinn Group behind it isn’t convincing enough. People need to see the connection between Typhoon Corp and Cloud Hospital. You, as Mr. Goodman, need to step up.”
Chase still wasn’t used to this kind of business maneuvering. But he trusted Wendy completely. The xt day, he took Melody and went to the Meyer family’s main house.
At that moment, the house was in chaos. Mario and Caesar didn’t seem to care.
The constant bickering of the others meant little to them. In one ear and out the other.
The butler, Jack, announced, “Mr. Goodman, chairman of Cloud Hospital, is here.”
Neither Caesar nor Mario had been informed beforehand. They exchanged glances. Mario just said, “Let him in.”
