Chapter 715: 715: The Fake Gorilla
Displeased, Michael’s face seemed to be coated with a thin layer of ice as he coldly ordered, “Call Chief Daniel Marshall.”
Adam Howard, who was sitting behind the CEO’s seat, immediately said, “Chairman, Chief Marshall decided to fly to Kyoto yesterday on short notice. I’ve taken over the affairs of the CEO’s office. If there’s anything you need, I can liaise directly with you or pass the message on to Chief Marshall.”
Michael, with his unpredictable gaze fixed on Adam, insisted to Secretary Garcia, “Call Chief Daniel Marshall.”
Secretary Garcia dared not disobey and immediately made a video call to Chief Daniel Marshall.
In an instant, the video call was connecting. It appeared on the large screen in the meeting room.
Immediately, all the high-level executives in the room stared unblinkingly at the large screen in the meeting room.
Before Daniel Marshall connected to the video, Michael’s face gradually darkened.
Furrowing his brows, Michael’s tightly pursed lips were about to speak when finally, Daniel Marshall picked up the video call.
Daniel’s figure appeared on the big screen, and one could immediately see the backdrop of the presidential suite’s office in the hotel on the video.
Daniel’s deep eyes squinted slightly. His handsome face carved like a masterpiece showed no expression, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.
Daniel’s voice was indifferent, he said calmly, “What meeting is happening today? Do I have to attend? Chairman!”
An overwhelming aura emanated from Michael’s face as he retorted, “Is Chief Marshall very busy? So busy that you left the corporation without informing me?”
A slight smirk tugged at the corners of Daniel’s mouth, his eyes filled with sarcasm, “Chairman, did you suddenly remember to check on me? If you need it, from today onward, I will report every day. I dealt with some matters, so I had to fly to Kyoto temporarily yesterday.
Today, I have a lunch meeting and some business to discuss, can’t return to Serene City in the short term. My absence in Serene City has not conflicted with my work arrangement, the CEO’s office is functioning as usual. If Chairman doesn’t believe, you can inspect the CEO’s office yourself.”
Michael cast a casual glance over the executives in the room, “Begin the meeting. Let Chief Marshall listen in as well.”
Daniel’s inky eyes darken slightly, “No problem, I happen to be free.”
Michael chaired the meeting, with Daniel’s video connection continually on the big screen.
Daniel had anticipated this and had flown back to Kyoto by helicopter from Binzhou as soon as dawn broke.
Daniel was well-informed about the progress of the meeting. The key points he pointed out were spot-on, just as if he were present in person, his presence was undeniably noticeable.
In Marshall Corporation, there was no doubt about Daniel’s position. He had always been the main figure, as if he were the one truly in control.
Even if there were doubts about him, there was nothing to fault him for at this moment.
…
When the meeting ended, so did Daniel’s video call.
As the other executives began to leave, Michael suddenly called out to Adam.
“When did I, as a father, become less significant than an assistant? Is the Chairman also disdainful enough to overlook?”
Adam, with his devil-may-care handsome face and a hint of a faint smile, his eagle-like keen eyes calmly meeting the Chairman’s gaze, “Should I interpret the Chairman as being jealous? You are the Chairman, naturally incomparable, and all subordinates respect you equally. I get along well with Chief Marshall, and we work together very smoothly. Perhaps it’s because we are of similar age.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Michael glared fiercely at Adam, “Don’t play the hypocrite in front of me, tell him, everyone’s watching him, he better be careful.”
