Zalman Michael finally left, carrying with him unwillingness and anger, as he departed amidst Julius Reed’s unrestrained laughter.

Meanwhile, the ceremony was unknowingly already underway.

Because Zade Radcliffe and his grandson Otis Radcliffe had been focusing their attention on the stage, they had not noticed what had just occurred.

They hoped to use this opportunity to reclaim the corporation that belonged to them.

However, from the beginning to the end, other than a director and general manager showing up, the truly influential figures had not appeared at all.

This inevitably left the attendees feeling somewhat disappointed, but being able to attend the Willson Group’s grand celebration also brought them a sense of honor.

After the third round of toasting, Zade Radcliffe got acquainted with a wealthy businessman from Five-river Province. This person had followed Stanislaus Potter in his early years and later set up his own business, amassing assets of several billion.

When Zade Radcliffe heard this news, his heart surged with excitement. Everyone knew that Stanislaus Potter and Julius Reed had a feud, and if they could get to know Stanislaus Potter through this businessman, it would definitely help them pull Quella Radcliffe down from the chairman’s position.

But the businessman did not agree on the spot.

Zade Radcliffe understood what this meant. But now that he had been expelled from the Radcliffe Group, he simply had no money.

So he could only promise to show his gratitude generously once he regained control of the company.

With that, the businessman nodded in agreement and led them to Stanislaus Potter’s table.

By that time, everyone was free to move about, and the Willson Group had merely given a brief speech before inviting everyone to eat and drink freely.

“Boss Potter, I have a friend who would like to meet you!”

Derrek Michael approached with Zade Radcliffe and his grandson, smiling as he made the introduction.

He had been Stanislaus Potter’s assistant in the early days and, even though he later became independent, he had not cut off contact with Stanislaus Potter. On the contrary, their relationship was still very close.

“Boss Potter, hello!”

Zade Radcliffe, a man accustomed to social interactions, immediately extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Stanislaus Potter, “I have long heard of Boss Potter’s renown, and seeing you today, you truly are a giant amongst men!”

But Stanislaus Potter did not take his hand, instead, he nonchalantly nodded.

Not just anyone could shake hands with him. If it weren’t for Derrek Michael’s sake, Zade Radcliffe wouldn’t even have the chance to talk to him.

“Boss Potter, I have a matter I wish to discuss privately with you!”

Zade Radcliffe looked around at the people nearby and spoke in a secretive manner.

The table was filled with wealthy businessmen from Five-river Province, all of whom he recognized, but none of whom recognized him.

Furthermore, since this matter was related to the Radcliffe Family, he did not wish to let more people know about it.

“Speak directly! If it’s inconvenient, feel free to decline, as my time is limited!”

Stanislaus Potter’s face remained stern, giving Zade Radcliffe no face at all. The gap between them was not just a little bit; apart from his respectful treatment of Julius Reed that day, he showed no favor to anyone else.

In other words, Zade Radcliffe was not qualified.

“Alright!”

Zade Radcliffe nodded awkwardly but still kept a smile on his face. He needed a favor and being able to meet Stanislaus Potter was already a great honor, so he dared not ask for too much.

“Who is this? Chattering on and on!”

Miguel Abbott leaned back in his chair, raising his eyebrow inquisitively.

Their table was located in the front row, seated with the top businessmen of Five-river Province.

Including the adjacent tables, all were of this caliber.

The levels of hierarchy were clearly defined.

The sudden appearance of an old man naturally made them a bit displeased.

“I am the chairman of the Radcliffe Group, Zade Radcliffe!”

Upon hearing this title, the attitudes of Stanislaus Potter and Miguel Abbott changed drastically.

Aren’t these the relatives of Julius Reed’s wife?

How can that be overlooked?

Must not neglect them!

“So it’s Mr. Radcliffe!”

Although they knew that Julius Reed had some unpleasantness with them, wasn’t Quella Radcliffe also here? Who knew if a whisper in the ear could lead to their downfall?

Miguel Abbott was the first to stand up and walk to Zade Radcliffe, taking his hand, “Mr. Radcliffe, how could you come yourself! If I had known you were coming, I would have personally gone to toast you!”

“That’s right, for you to toast me, wouldn’t that be too much!”

Stanislaus Potter also picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Zade Radcliffe, “Let’s drink this one first!”

“And this is?”

Miguel Abbott asked, looking at Otis Radcliffe behind him.

“The General Manager of Radcliffe Group, my grandson, Otis Radcliffe!”

Zade Radcliffe was a bit flattered; he had not expected his old bones to be so highly regarded.

At the same time, he couldn’t help feeling proud.

“Otis, take a picture for grandpa quickly, drinking with the business elites of Five-river Province is such a fortunate event!”

After instructing him, Otis immediately took out his phone and began snapping photos.

“Mr. Radcliffe, you are too polite! When it comes to business, you are the senior,” Miguel Abbott said after finishing his drink, placing the glass on the table, “Next time you visit Five-river Province, let me know in advance, and I will certainly host you!”

This address as “young brother” completely delighted Zade Radcliffe.

“Boss Abbott, I’m not worthy of such an honor! It’s my privilege to have a conversation with you!”

Zade Radcliffe couldn’t stop smiling. He hadn’t expected that merely trying his luck would result in connecting with two bosses in a row.

“Absolutely! Mr. Radcliffe, if you have any requirements, just tell me! My Golden Eagle Group had some unpleasantness with your Radcliffe Group before, but I hope you won’t take it to heart! By the way, in a few days, I’ll personally visit your company to discuss a business cooperation,” Stanislaus Potter replied very officially, with a constant smile on his face.

Derrek Michael was stunned watching this unfold; he had known Stanislaus Potter for many years and was well aware of Potter’s personality.

Being so courteous to a small businessman from Five-river Province was simply unbelievable!

Even when dealing with those wealthy businessmen, Potter had never been this polite!

And Miguel Abbott’s attitude was the same as Potter’s, which completely baffled Derrek Michael.

Who on Earth could be worthy of such initiative from the two bosses to make their acquaintance?

“Oh! Boss Potter, you’re too kind! The past issues were our fault, and being able to cooperate with the Golden Eagle Group is like a blessing I’ve cultivated across three lifetimes!”

One would have thought that prior grievances would cause some awkwardness at the meeting, but who could have guessed that Stanislaus Potter would bring it up first and even propose a collaboration!

Naturally, Zade Radcliffe wouldn’t bring up Julius Reed’s issues again. With Stanislaus Potter’s pressure, alongside the prospective cooperation with the Golden Eagle Group, it was enough to force Quella Radcliffe out and let himself retake the chairman position.

“No worries, I of Moonlight Group also wish to cooperate with you. Let’s find an opportunity, and I will visit alongside Boss Potter!”

Miguel Abbott wouldn’t be outdone. Clearly, he had been aligned with Julius Reed first and he wouldn’t let Stanislaus Potter overtake him.

“Then I’ll prepare as soon as I return, and will surely welcome you! Welcome both of you, the great bosses!”

Zade Radcliffe could hardly speak for excitement; now when he would return, Quella Radcliffe would certainly have to make way for him!

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways.

As the ceremony concluded, people began to leave one after another.

Meanwhile, not far from Willson Building, on a street, a monk was sitting cross-legged at the roadside.
