Representative of Titan Group, Sky Reed, naturally took the seat at the center.
In the face of such a God of Wealth, the Radcliffe Family wished they could enshrine him, offering incense all day long.
Zade Radcliffe and Otis Radcliffe sat on either side of Sky Reed, while the other Radcliffe Clan members were seated according to their company positions.
Quella Radcliffe sat at the very end, and Julius Reed had no seat at all.
In fact, there was originally a seat here, but Otis Radcliffe had someone remove a chair at the last minute, so Julius Reed had to stand.
“Now, let us welcome Mr. Sky Reed, representative of Titan Group, to Radcliffe Group with the warmest applause!”
Zade Radcliffe was the first to clap, followed by a room filled with applause.
“The one standing, what’s the meaning of this?”
Sky Reed looked at Julius Reed standing at the door, his tone somewhat unfriendly.
“This man is our Radcliffe Family’s son-in-law, who usually stays at home cooking and washing clothes. I have no idea what got into Quella today to bring him along!”
Otis Radcliffe hurriedly spoke up, with a slight embarrassment in his voice, “I will have him thrown out immediately. A man who’s been nesting at home for three years, is this kind of meeting where he belongs? Having such a person sneak into our partnership is truly inauspicious!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the Radcliffe Family members all bore expressions of watching a spectacle.
Otis Radcliffe’s move could be said to kill two birds with one stone, vicious to the extreme.
Not only did he embarrass Julius Reed by kicking him out, but he also left a bad impression of Quella in Sky Reed’s eyes.
After all, just as Titan Group was investing, encountering such an incident would surely make them extremely disgusted with Quella.
When the time came for the board to kick their family out of the group, it would seem only natural.
Zade Radcliffe nodded secretly on the sidelines, silently praising his grandson.
“Quella, bringing in this good-for-nothing, are you intentionally causing trouble?”
Otis Radcliffe stood up and scolded loudly.
“Julius Reed is a member of the Radcliffe Family, on what grounds can he not come?”
Quella Radcliffe, sitting in her chair, glared at Otis Radcliffe.
That very night, the rift between the two had already lessened significantly.
Therefore, she could not stand by as Julius Reed was bullied.
The atmosphere became particularly awkward for a moment.
“As the General Manager of Radcliffe Group, I’m asking you to leave now!”
Otis Radcliffe’s face suddenly turned cold.
Within the group, he was the General Manager, wielding significant power.
And Quella Radcliffe was merely a regular executive.
If she were to be expelled, it would undoubtedly leave a deep impression on Sky Reed and also confirm Quella’s insubordination.
An employee who doesn’t obey cannot stay!
“Wait a minute!”
Just then, Sky Reed stood up and looked at Julius Reed.
“The grand Radcliffe Group can’t even spare a single chair? You seem to hold this cooperation in very little regard. Such a large meeting, and you can’t even get the number of people right!”
Upon hearing this, the Radcliffe Family immediately panicked.
Being able to cooperate with Titan Group was a tremendous opportunity for the Radcliffe Family.
Titan Group, as the Boss of Gonzalez City, possessed enormous financial power.
And the Radcliffe Family was merely a second-tier power, who wouldn’t ordinarily dare to dream of establishing a relationship with Titan Group.
“Mr. Reed, this is a misunderstanding! We had just the right number of chairs, only someone who shouldn’t have come did.”
Otis Radcliffe quickly stood up to explain.
He had intended to ensure Quella would never have a chance to turn things around, but he hadn’t expected to actually anger Sky Reed.
If this actually affected the cooperation, he would be to blame!
Zade Radcliffe also hurriedly chimed in, “Mr. Reed, please don’t take offense, this was all very unexpected, Julius Reed never participates in meetings of this kind.”
“Someone who shouldn’t have come?”
Sky Reed furrowed his brows, “If I hadn’t come, then would you have had just the right number of seats? Fine, I’ll leave now!”
With that, he picked up the briefcase on the table and turned to leave.
“Mr. Reed, you’ve misunderstood!”
Seeing him serious about leaving, Zade Radcliffe quickly stood up to explain, “You are our esteemed guest! Everyone in the Radcliffe Family greatly admires Mr. Sky Reed. When we heard yesterday that you were coming, everyone was very excited!”
“Good! Then you come over here, sit next to me.”
Sky Reed hesitated, then beckoned to Julius Reed.
“Hmm!”
Julius Reed nodded and then began walking toward the center seat.
“Julius, don’t make a scene!”
Quella Radcliffe grabbed Julius Reed in one quick motion.
Although the clanspeople were unfriendly towards her, today’s matters related to the future of the Radcliffe Family, and she couldn’t stand by and watch Julius Reed act recklessly.
“It’s all right.”
Julius Reed gently pushed her hand away and briskly walked up to Sky Reed.
“Mr. Reed, that is unacceptable! You are our honored guest, how can you yield your seat to a good-for-nothing?”
Otis Radcliffe hurriedly stood up to block their way.
“I don’t need your instructions on how to handle my own affairs. Since you don’t want me to stand, then yield your seat to me.”
Sky Reed sat back down on the chair, looking at Otis Radcliffe coldly.
“I would like to offer it to him, but I’m afraid he wouldn’t dare to sit!”
Otis Radcliffe hesitated, but ultimately stood up.
“Julius Reed, you had better be aware of your own place!”
For three years, he had been bullying this son-in-law who joined the family, yet today, he found himself having to yield his seat to such a loser.
“I also hope that you will see yourself clearly!”
Julius Reed shoved Otis Radcliffe away and turned to sit down in the chair.
“You…”
Just as Otis Radcliffe was about to explode, Zade Radcliffe coughed a few times from the side.
Today’s meeting was very important, and they couldn’t afford any mishaps.
Otis Radcliffe’s mouth trembled slightly, standing to one side with resentment.
“I am entrusted by Mr. Ovidiu Cook, the chairman of the Titan Group, to discuss cooperation with your company.”
Sky Reed pulled a stack of documents out of his bag.
“The Radcliffe Group specializes in semiconductor chips, and Titan Group also intends to expand into the electronics industry, so we have decided to join forces to establish a special department.”
“It is an absolute honor for the Radcliffe Group to partner with a large corporation like Titan Group!”
Zade Radcliffe smiled, his heart already blooming with joy.
“We will provide the funding, and you will contribute the technology!”
Sky Reed placed the documents on the table, looked around the room, and continued, “This department will be dedicated to a project, so I hope you can select a project manager.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than the crowd began to discuss among themselves.
Without a doubt, this was a good opportunity.
Whoever became the project manager would certainly make a fortune.
Moreover, within the Radcliffe Family, their status would become very high.
“In theory, I should be the project manager. But as you all know, Titan Group has many different businesses, so I may not be able to attend to them all.”
Sky Reed looked at Zade Radcliffe, patiently explaining.
“I can understand that, Mr. Reed. You hold an important position, and we wouldn’t want to trouble you. But rest assured, even without you, we will maintain high quality!”
Zade Radcliffe assured him, thumping his chest.
If it was as Sky Reed had said, the Radcliffe Family stood to make a killing.
“Why not select a manager today, so I can report back?”
Sky Reed took out a pen, ready to take notes.
“Our Radcliffe Group general manager, Otis Radcliffe, is young, capable, and the clear choice for the position!”
Zade Radcliffe spoke first, effectively silencing everyone else.
The other Radcliffe Clan members who were eager to try, could only bow their heads.
Who would dare to disobey the old man’s words?
“Mr. Reed, please rest assured, I will definitely not let you down!”
Otis Radcliffe promptly stood up and guaranteed, thumping his chest.
He looked at Julius Reed with a smug expression in his eyes.
It was as though he was saying, even if you sit in my seat, you will still be a good-for-nothing.
“Any objections from the others?”
Sky Reed looked around the room.
“We agree.”
The Radcliffe Clan members nodded one after another.
They knew that even if they disputed, they could not win.
“Mr. Reed, since everyone agrees, let’s talk about the specifics of the cooperation!”
Otis Radcliffe straightened his suit, feeling as though he had already become the project manager.
“Hold on! Not all of the Radcliffe Family members have expressed their opinion yet!”
Sky Reed turned to face Julius Reed and asked, “What do you think?”
