âHmph.â Jacob Clark still had a gloomy face, looking rather unhappy.
Dingâ
The elevator door opened.
People from the Secretary Office were already waiting outside. As soon as he arrived, they hurriedly followed his pace and asked while walking, âPresident Clark, reporters from Dawning World called to schedule an interview with you. The bosses of Rowan Corporation, South Steel Group, Southgate Construction Company,⦠all want to make an appointment with you as well. When I received the calls, I told them you havenât arrived at the company yet. How should we handle these appointments?â
Jacob Clark felt the veins on his forehead throbbing. All these companies had business dealings with the Clark Family, and some were even currently working on projects together.
Dawning World, which the secretary specifically mentioned, was a financial media outlet backed by the government.
âIf they call again, tell them Iâm not here,â he said. Just as the words left his mouth, it seemed like he suddenly remembered something, and the veins on his forehead bulged again, his expression turning even uglier. Stopping the secretary in charge of answering calls, he instructed, âDonât say Iâm not here, just say Iâm busy in a meeting right now and have no time. Once Iâm free, Iâll contact them.â
There must be spies from other companies within his own firm. If he really let the receptionist say he wasnât at the company, his lie would be exposed in no time. If someone showed up, he would be slapped in the face.
Jacob Clark had never been so passive before. Annoyed, he pushed open the door to the Presidentâs office, turned on the computer, and checked the stock market prices.

Meanwhile, the secretary who had been told to contact Rhineâs representative returned, holding his mobile phone and hesitating, âPresident Clarkâ¦â
Seeing his expression, Jacobâs heart swelled with an inexplicable irritation, âSpeak.â
âRhineâs people said that their schedule for this week is fully booked, and they canât make time to meet with you. They said you should make an appointment in advance for next weekâ¦â
Before he could finish, Jacob Clark slammed his fist down, shattering the water cup on the table. His barely maintained composure crumbled completely. He suddenly stood up, his hands propped on the desk, gasping for breath! His expression was extremely terrifying, as if he wanted to eat someone alive! Dark and dreadful!
âToo much bullying!â
Wasnât it too much?
First, the other party had secretly completed a stock transaction with small shareholders behind his back, quietly putting the Clark Familyâs bank up for acquisition. Then, when he proposed negotiations, they didnât even give him a chance and outright refused.
This wasnât a simple acquisition at all; it was a downright hostile merger with strong-arm tactics!
As he vented his anger, the secretary stood still, not daring to even breathe. He quietly waited for Jacobâs fury to subside.
Jacob Clark was indeed infuriated to the point of dizziness. However, after the most infuriating moment passed, his emotions calmed down slightly. He told the secretary coldly, âGo and check Rhineâs representativeâs schedule.â
He didnât believe he couldnât see the person!
With the company in such bad shape, he had to find Rhineâs representative no matter what. Only by finding a way to make Rhineâs rep stop the acquisition would he still have a chance to turn the tide!
âAlright.â
The secretary was very efficient in his work. Soon, he found the information and reported to Jacob Clark, âPresident Clark, I found it. Rhineâs representative will attend a charity dinner tonight!â
âFind a way for me to attend as well!â Jacob Clarkâs face was icy, his gloomy eyes filled with determination.
Attending the event was a good start. As long as the acquisition wasnât completed within a day, there would still be a chanceâ¦
