Chapter 1038
Henry heard Jared's voice and turned to him in his swivel chair, looking at him with pride.
"Excellent.The feeling of sitting here is really different.Even the scenery is so breath-taking.Call me Mr.Chairman from now on, Jared.By the way, what are you busy with now?"
"Nothing.I have just recently taken on a new project."
Jared would not tell him about his investment in Martin's Beacon.
"Oh, you don't seem to be doing anything worthwhile.I mean, how come the company is not doing well? But it doesn't matter.Now that I've taken over, there is a very popular project abroad that I think our company should compete for.Of all the people in the company, I think you are the only one who knows the company best.So I will appoint you to represent the company to compete and try to take the project."
Henry was on his first day as the acting chairman and already started to flex his muscles.
The first person he wanted to fix was Jared, and he was going to use this nice -to-have project as a pretext to send Jared away.
"Okay.Send me the information later, Mr.Chairman.Enjoy the view."
Jared shot Henry an icy glance and then left.
"The flight is on the day after tomorrow.I have already booked the ticket for you." Henry said aloud as Jared left.
Back in Jared's own office, Max asked, "Why did you say yes to him just now when you could have said no?"
"It is his first day as the acting chairman.If I don't let him get what he wants in the first round, he will surely make more trouble later on.By then, it will be hard to control him."
Jared knew Henry well, and he would play along as long as things did not affect the company's interest and his deal with Martin.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмThe only thing was that he was worried about Mr.Johnston Sr., who had not yet awakened.He sat in his chair and suddenly thought of Nicole.
"Order two meals and go to the hospital afterward."
"Okay."
In the hospital, Nicole was guarding Mr.Johnston Sr.by the bedside.
Even when the nurse came in to change the medication, Nicole had to check it before allowing the nurse to do so.
Jared pushed open the door to the ward and saw that Nicole had been sitting at the bedside in the same place when he last saw her.
Jared went over to her and asked, "You have been sitting here all along?"
"Yeah.The nurse came in a few times to change the medication, but your grandpa's condition has been stable."
Nicole looked over at Jared.He stroked Nicole's hair and felt sorry for her.
