Edward sighed helplessly. “It seems like Eugene won’t be getting better for a while. What about the company? Dad, you have to put someone in charge!” Merlin shot Edward a fierce glance. “What do you mean?”
Edward felt guilty that his thoughts had been interpreted. “What I mean is that the company can’t be without a leader. During the past two days that Eugene was hospitalized, the public was abuzz and the company was in a state of panic. Stocks have begun to fall, and many business partners seem to be waiting it out. We must look for someone to revive the Nolan Group!”
A resigned Merlin shook his head. What my grandson said earlier is indeed correct. His eyes darkened a little before he looked up at his son, who was nearly half a century old. Merlin’s voice was full of disappointment as he said, “Rocky is seriously ill, yet I don’t see you being sad at all. All you can think of is how to acquire the Nolan Group. You’re his father. Aren’t you sad at all?”
Taken aback, Edward explained, “How am I not sad? When I came back from the hospital that day, I didn’t sleep much all night. My son broke his bones and tendons, so how could I not be sad? That company is Eugene’s blood, sweat, and tears. I don’t want to see everything he has worked hard for go to waste.
Dad, if you have a suitable candidate in mind, I don’t necessarily have to take up the position of president. I know you’re distressed about Eugene, and I’m only thinking about his future. If he gets better, as his father, I will definitely return the position to him. However, if it were anyone else, there would be a barrier, so it would be hard to tell whether they’ll return the position. I don’t think you want to see such an outcome, right, Dad?”
Merlin took a deep breath and suddenly looked several years older as he muttered to himself, “Nothing has happened to Eugene yet, but you’re already so impatient. You didn’t even show any effort on the surface. Just how eager are you?”
The wrinkles between Edward’s eyebrows deepened as his face sank. “Dad, I said that you can also introduce a suitable candidate to be in charge. I didn’t say that it has to be me. I’m just worried that the company will end up suffering serious losses.”
