When the call ended, Charles turned off his computer and lit up another cigarette.
His mind was busy thinking about what had been happening recently. At some point, he felt like he had forgotten something but no matter how hard he tried to remember it, he couldn't.
All of a sudden, he received a call from Nancy.
Charles answered the phone in a hurry. "Nancy, why are you not busy?"
"I've just had an operation. I'm free now. Charles..."
"What's wrong?" Her voice sounded a little heavy, and Charles felt like his heart was inexplicably hanging.
"Don't you think Derrick is a little strange?" After thinking for a while, Nancy added, "I always feel like Joseph is hiding something from us."
"Do you mean... Is Derrick awake?"
If that was the case, then that explained how Joseph could speak confidently in front of the shareholders. Derrick must have taught him everything he had to say, word by word.
After all, Joseph's ability was still a shock for Charles.
As she was really bothered by this, Nancy suggested, "I don't know either. I just feel like something is wrong. You don't have much work to do at home anyway. How about you go to the hospital and have a look at Derrick? Maybe you will understand." 'Okay," Charles agreed.
Since he had nothing to do at home, Charles dressed up and drove to the hospital.
As soon as he walked into Frederic's ward, he heard his loud laughter.
It made Charles pause for a while, before he finally opened the door.
Today, Frederic looked more energetic, at least much better than yesterday. As for the reason, Charles was quick to figure it out.
It was obvious that Frederic was happy to see that Joseph could manage the company.
When Frederic saw Charles come in, he asked, "Charles, what do you think? Isn't Joseph commendable?"
"Is Grandpa so confident in him in less than one day?" Disappointed, Charles gave his grandpa a disdainful glance.
"I know you are waiting for Joseph to make a fool of himself. But let me tell you, even though his reputation in the business world is not as good as yours, he has grown up in the Fu family and has been influenced by the way we do business. Some things are natural. As long as Joseph stops playing and wasting his energy on women, I think he will make a great achievement in the business world one day!"
Instead of refuting, Charles chuckled. "Joseph is so promising now. I should congratulate Grandpa, shouldn't I?"
Since Joseph went to the TS Group, Frederic had been checking on his phone, which made Angelina so pissed off.
Seeing that Joseph had intimidated the shareholders, Frederic was so elated.
"You see, Joseph used to loaf around and have nothing to do. I didn't expect him to speak so well in front of the shareholders. Well, after all, he is the descendant of the Fu family. That's right. You're the only two grandchildren I have. Anyway, you two should be evenly matched. Back then, I was always worried that Joseph would be idle all his life. Now it seems that I have worried too much! Fortunately, Joseph didn't let me down!" Happiness was evident in his eyes as he spoke so proudly of his grandson.
As she was a little jealous, Angelina rolled her eyes. She was looking forward to see Joseph retreat, so she didn't expect him to do better than she thought.
Did Joseph really hide his real potential just like what Frederic said?
