An incredulous gasp was heard amongst the crowd.
A golden miniature horse statue was sitting inside the box. Although it was only the size of a palm, it was quite expensive! It was an old-fashioned item, but the price was displayed there.
Accordingly, Yohann Stone and Senior Zimmer were o f the same status. There was no need to present such a generous gift when they would meet. However, he was being modest today which allowed the Zimmer family's reputation to greatly increase.
"Sure, sure, sure. Anyone who goes through this door i s our guest. Please take a seat, Manager Stone.
However, please don't be so modest next time. I will humbly accept this gift!" Senior Zimmer's smile was s o wide that he could hardly close his mouth as he nodded profusely.
This was not a matter of money, but of reputation.
Although Yohann had his doubts and found out that Wendy Sorrell and Secretary Xavier were coming over, he was a sly fox himself. He did not expose this side o f him.
After greeting Yohann, Senior Zimmer called Zack over. "Who is this Secretary Xavier that Old Man Stone was talking about?” "Secretary Xavier?" Zack turned delighted. "Grandpa,
Secretary Xavier is the secretary to the CEO of York Enterprise, Yvonne Xavier. Her words are final in this company. Out of all the people she could bring, Wendy chose to invite her along. It looks like the investment we need is in the bag!"
“Good! Very good indeed!" Senior Zimmer’s face was filled with admiration for having a grandson like Zack. This grandchild did not disappoint at all!
Before he could continue, another Benz stopped at the entrance of the villa. Zachariah Brooke, the family head of the Brooke family was seen alighting from the car while smiling.
"Senior Zimmer, I've invited myself over as well. Here's a little gift as a sign of respect!"
As he was talking, he opened the gift box. A Meissen porcelain figurine from Germany appeared. The eyes o f many were blinded at this sight.
This item was worth at least hundreds of thousands. I n fact, it looked extremely elegant.
Within the next half an hour, about five more family heads arrived. In fact, they were those who had their investments cancelled. They each naturally brought a generous gift for the Zimmer family.
Although they did not know what the relationship between the Zimmer family and Yvonne was, they wanted to all hop on the bandwagon and be connected with her. They had to give something in return as a token of appreciation.
At this time, a Bentley which was not far off came over and stopped firmly at the main entrance of the Zimmer family's villa.
This atmosphere was different from when the previous family heads arrived. Its presence was significantly more powerful than all those who came before. Someone from York Enterprise must have arrived.
Everyone in the Zimmer family looked on in admiration. Wendy Sorrell must be someone of high position and big influence. No one in the Zimmer family had a Bentley. Yet, she was able to afford this car.
While they were dwelling in their thoughts, Wendy who was sitting at the front passenger seat opened the car door and alighted. She was stunned at the scene she saw.
