The Vengeful Son-in-law novel Chapter 317

Tom was interested and asked, "Oh? Who's this big shot? Tell me."

Now he was famous in H City. His assets were worth tens of billions and everyone had to give him face. There were not many people who could make him meet easily, obediently and respectfully.

Of course, Tom was not arrogant. He was very powerful nationwide. Still, there were many big shots above him and he was well aware of that.

Master Chou nodded and said, "His name is Hawthorne. He is the chairman of Shenyang Group and the former president of G State's chamber of commerce. He is very important in the circle and has great power. People all pay great respect to him. Even the North Sky Association doesn't dare to offend him."

When Tom heard that, he was a little surprised. SY Group was not a small company, but a giant that had been prospering for 20 years, with a market value of more than 100 billion dollars. Moreover, it was not an Internet Co like Penguin or Barry, which was unstable. SY Group was a real company, which involved a wide range of fields. In recent years, it had been ambitiously entering the communications sector.

When Tom was a kid, he had heard of the name of SY Group. At that time, the Howards and SY Group cooperated closely.

Speaking of which, the chairman of SY Group was of a similar age as Tom's grandfather.

In Tom's memory, when he was very young, he was held by this old man. Now that so many years had passed, he wondered if Hawthorne still remembered him.

"Okay, I'll go." Tom quickly made a decision and nodded.

Master Chou breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Tom would be arrogant and not give this big shot face.

That night, Tom went to Hawthorne's house with Master Chou. It was a luxurious manor, covering an area of ten thousand square meters. Tom's big villa in Dragon Bay was just a small cottage compared to Hawthorne's manor.

"Hawthorne is really high-profile. He lives in a manor in China." Tom said.

Master Chou said, "Hawthorne has the capacity to do so. He has contributed a lot of GDP for G State. As long as he is here, SY Group will survive. Even North Sky Association will not dare to provoke SY Group."

Tom was so smart that he immediately recognized Master Chou's insinuation. "Is Hawthorne going to die soon?"

Master Chou nodded and said, "There is a rumor outside that Hawthorne is old, his body is getting weaker and weaker. He's dying. Now he has started to distribute his property."

Tom thought for a moment and knew that the statement was not very reliable. Since Hawthorne was dying, how could he still have the energy to interfere with his affairs with the North Sky Association? He was seeking trouble for himself. After all, it was not easy to be a peacemaker. If he was not careful, he would offend both sides.

"I don't think it's that simple. Since Hawthorne is going to be a peacemaker, it means that he's far from the end of his life." Tom said what he thought.

Master Chou said, "It's possible. Anyway, as long as you see Hawthorne himself, you'll know what's going on."

During their conversation, the car drove into the manor and someone stood there waiting for them.

After getting out of the car, a few people immediately walked over. The person in front of them was a middle-aged man, who was fat and friendly. The man looked honest. Tom was born with a good impression of that kind of person.

"This is Mr. Howard, isn't it? Young and promising. It's a pleasure to meet you!" The middle-aged man came over and shook hands with Tom. His attitude was very warm, which made Tom a little flattered. He said quickly, "Hello, Mr. Paynes."
