Assuming that Charlie was simply joking, Claire didn't take it seriously. She walked aside and dialed Doris's number.
Soon, the call was answered.
Doris’s sweet and pleasing voice resonated from the other end of the line. "Hello, Miss Wilson."
"Hi, Miss Young. I have a favor to ask from you," Claire said timidly.
"Okay, what is it?" Doris replied.
Claire rehearsed the sentence in her head once again, taking a deep breath before she said determinedly," May I know if the chairman is available tomorrow night? My family will be organizing a banquet tomorrow to officially announce our collaboration with Emgrand Group. I hope that the chairman would kindly accept my invitation..."
There was silence at the other end of the line before Doris spoke again, "Miss Wilson, I'm sorry but I cannot make the decision on behalf of my chairman. Or, perhaps I could ask him for you, would that be alright?"
Claire said respectfully, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble caused."
After the call was ended, Claire held her phone nervously, anticipating her reply.
Right at this moment, Charlie's phone suddenly rang.
Charlie was taken aback, quietly cursed himself for forgetting to mute his phone. It must be Doris who was calling to ask for his opinion...
He pretended to answer the phone calmly and mumbled, "Yes?"
As expected, Doris’s voice came from the phone, "Mr. Wade, Wilson Group will be holding a banquet tomorrow night. I would like to ask if you would want t o attend the banquet."
Charlie replied, "Oh, is that so? Okay, I will...Alright, that's it, bye..."
Then, he quickly hung up the call and mumbled," These marketing spam calls are really annoying..."
Claire didn't suspect anything, but very soon, her phone rang again.
Doris’s voice echoed into her ear again. "Hello, Miss Wilson, our chairman has agreed to your invitation, he’ll drop by the venue then!"
"Huh! Really...that's great...thank you so much for your help. Please thank Mr. Chairman on my behalf too..." Claire muttered in disbelief followed by an excited shriek. She didn't expect that the chairman would actually agree to come.
She hurriedly turned to Lady Wilson and said delightedly, "Grandma! The chairman of Emgrand
Group has agreed to come!"
"Really!?” Lady Wilson was extremely thrilled!
She turned and ordered the family members on the floor immediately, "Quick, make the necessary preparations! Book the most luxurious hotel, order the best meals and drinks! Let's make it big to welcome the chairman of Emgrand Group!"
"Next, contact all the big companies in the city and invite them to our banquet! Inform them that
Emgrand's chairman will be there!"
Then, the office became very busy with everyone bustling here and there to make phone calls!
Everyone was stoked, constantly contacting their business partners and the high-profile figures of Aurous Hill.
The news exploded like an atomic bomb in the city that it spread like wildfire! 2
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the Aurous Hill knew about Wilson Group's banquet.
The mysterious chairman of Emgrand Group would appear at the Wilson family's banquet tomorrow night!
Lady Wilson responded to the countless inquiries over the phone with a wide smile on her face.
