Chapter 11

Author: Lord Leaf
After the three bows, tears were swirling in Harold’s eyes but he didn’t dare to do anything rash now.

He knew that his grandma was very disappointed and agitated at him now, so no matter what, he shouldn’t enrage her any further.

Lady Wilson heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Harold bowing and admitting defeat.

She didn’t wish for his precious grandson to bow his head at Charlie the loser, but they had made a bet that involved her.

She was a very devoted Buddhist. If Harold didn’t keep his promise, she would certainly be so afraid of the retribution and karma to come at her that she would have trouble eating and sleeping.

Thus, she looked at Harold and said flatly, “Harold, treat these three bows as a lesson for you. Next time, don’t bet on something that you have no absolute certainty of. Even if you wish to make a bet, keep your family out of it!”

With a pouty face, Harold grumbled, “Okay, Grandma, I know better now. I’ll never do it again…”

As he spoke, his eyes glared towards Charlie viciously, thinking, ‘You b*stard! How dare you force me to kneel and bow before you. You made me lose face today, I swear I’ll get right back at you sooner or later!’

Then, Lady Wilson stated, “It is a joyful day today, now that Claire has won the contract. Come on everyone, we must hurry and make our preparations now. We must take this opportunity to build a good partnership with Emgrand Group!”

Charlie reminded, “Grandma, since Claire has succeeded in striking the deal, don’t you think you should announce the appointment of Claire as the director of the company as you’ve promised?”

Lady Wilson arched her eyebrows, thoughts were running in her mind.

She did say that whoever won the contract would be appointed as the company’s director.

However, Claire was not her favorite all this while. Her loser husband had always irritated her too and some ideas were slowly brewing in her mind again.

What if Claire got out of her control after she was appointed such a high position in the company? What would she do then?

In that instant, she wanted to withdraw her promise. After all, she didn’t swear on an oath when she made such a promise, so she wouldn’t feel bad at all if she took it back.

However, saying such a statement right after Claire struck the deal would be unwise, so she said, “Let’s do this instead. Tomorrow night, I’ll hold a banquet, inviting all the prominent and influential people in Aurous Hill to the party. At the banquet, I’ll officially announce our collaboration with Emgrand Group and the appointment of the new director.”

Charlie was relieved with satisfaction after Lady Wilson’s statement.

Claire also smiled, reassured. Finally, the position of the director was hers. She didn’t have to be elbowed and isolated anymore, and her parents could finally stand upright and be proud!

Lady Wilson turned to look at Claire and said, “Claire, I need you to do something for me.”

“Yes, Grandma, what is it?”

“I want you to contact the chairman of Emgrand Group and invite him to attend tomorrow’s banquet.”

After a pause, she continued with anticipation, “If he is able to attend our banquet, it will be an extravagant boost to our family! It will also push our name out to the public, making us more famous!”

Claire pondered for a while and said hesitantly, “But… I only met Doris Young, the vice-chairman, I didn’t see the chairman himself…By the way, don’t you think it’s a little too deliberate to organize the banquet when we’ve just gotten the contract…”

“So what? I want to tell the whole Aurous Hill that we’re now bound to Emgrand Group. We’re going to be very successful and rich!”

Lady Wilson continued, “Even if their chairman doesn’t want to come, you can invite Doris Young, it’s the same. She is the second person in charge of Emgrand Group, she would also be an honorable guest to have at our banquet.”

She was already grinning in excitement when she thought of it. She felt her body pumping with hot blood when she imagined how those big cooperates and families who had discriminated against the Wilson family would have to humble themselves and serve under the Wilson family.

The Wilson family would become more brilliant and lavish in her hands!

Claire pondered for a moment before answering gingerly, “Okay, I understand, I’ll try…”

“Don’t try it! You must!”

Claire nodded reluctantly, then turned to Charlie and whispered, “What should I do? What if the chairman doesn’t attend? What if Doris Young doesn’t want to come too?”

Charlie chuckled and said, “Just try and see. You have Doris Young’s number, don’t you? Maybe she’ll agree as soon as you call her, who knows?”

The purpose of the banquet was not only to demonstrate the strength of the Wilson family but also to announce Claire’s promotion to the director.

As her husband, it would be a joyful event to support his wife and to celebrate her promotion.

At this time, Claire didn’t know that her husband was the chairman of Emgrand Group. She fidgetted her fingers anxiously and sighed before saying, “He is the chairman of Emgrand, I heard that he is some young master from an extremely wealthy family in Eastcliff. This kind of person must be very busy with his daily business, how would he be able to spare the time to attend some whatnot banquet…”

Charlie laughed and said, “I don’t think so. Perhaps he’s someone who spends his time with his wife at home every day, cooking and doing the laundry all day long. Who knows?”

Claire rolled her eyes at him and teased, “Do you think everyone is like you?”

Charlie nodded. “Yes, maybe the boss of Emgrand Group is just like me…”

Claire pursed her lips and snorted, “Cut it out! That’s impossible!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6756

    Julien was left exasperated, but he couldn't argue. "Yes, Father. I'll do as you say."Just then, Lady Eliza and an elegantly dressed Helena entered.Both Julien and Harrison stopped talking and stood up as Helena glided toward them gracefully with a faint smile, "It's alright. Please, sit."As both men sat, Harrison couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, may I ask if there's anything that I can help with, now that the handover is complete? Please, you can ask for anything. Once it's all done, I'll be dropping by New York before returning to discuss our future investments."While Harrison was skirting around the most important subject, Helena naturally read between the lines—all Harrison wanted was for her to hold up her end of her bargain as soon as possible so that he could return to New York soon.Smiling, she said, "Well, there's nothing that needs your attention right now. You should return to New York tomorrow if it's urgent."Harrison was at first delighted since that meant

    Meanwhile, Helena had invited both Harrison and Julien to her palace once more.In truth, Harrison couldn't wait at all. With the handover of the AI module complete, it was time for Helena to hold up her end of the bargain and sell him half of one Healing Pill.And this invite might mean just that.Still, he wasn't entirely sure if that was the case, as he and Helena had agreed not to mention the pill around Julien. It was hardly good timing, even if she was going to hand it over in the evening!On the other hand, Julien was completely uninterested in the palace at this point. All he wanted was to return to New York and pack for Oskia, so he was completely distracted during the dinner.Still, Helena called Charlie before they met, asking, "I'll be having dinner with the Rothstchilds again, so can I ask when I should hand over the pill? I'll be vague if you intend to delay him."Charlie smiled. "Just make sure he eats his dinner, and I'll drop by later to pass you the pill as well

    Hugo nodded, "Yes, in theory—because the Earth is round, the best satellite angles are from vertical shots. But that also means each satellite has limited coverage, and you'll need enough satellites to cover the globe."It's like trying to envelope the world in a ball of thread to cover every inch of the world, with one satellite passing through orbit every few dozen seconds. Of course, the orbit will extend if you don't have enough satellites."Charlie then asked, "In that case, how many satellites do we need to cover one place in a day?""Two to five with technology maturity," Hugo replied. "Most civilian enterprises in the States have that capacity, and some of the best can cover a target area up to eight times a day. That means the satellite can orbit that area every three hours per day if necessary.""How much are companies like that worth? Are they purchasable?" Charlie asked.Hugo thought about it. "Around three to four billion, if memory serves… but it's troublesome since

    Hugo was confused since he didn't know much about Charlie's style of doing things, and he blurted, "If only he were older? Does his age have anything to do with negotiating a contract?""Of course," Charlie smiled. "At present, I love trading with the elderly, and I'm on a hot streak as we speak."That left Hugo further confused. "Do you have some sort of advantage over them?""Of course," Charlie smiled. "The elderly are especially generous, and they won't spare any expense as long as you can offer something they need. That's not the case for youths, who have much more to consider in their lives."Having been listed as the world's richest man, a man like Elon Musk would never need money, and throwing money wouldn't be an effective way to buy something off his hands.While it was possible enough to draw interest when enough money was thrown, that was not Charlie's style—he preferred trading items. If something could be traded for just a couple of pills, he would definitely not use

    Pausing, Hugo continued, "Now, let's liken Planet Earth to a stadium that can accommodate 50,000 people. If we take a single photo that contains everyone, the faces will be nothing more than dot pixels—we're not going to be identifying a thing, let alone finding someone we want in the mix."But if we set up the cameras at the center of the stadium and split it into, say, ten zones, and take photos from each zone before combining each into one big picture, the pixels are naturally ten times more precise. However, it remains that finding someone is still impossible because there are just too many faces to comb through—they would all look like one big glob altogether."Now, if we split the 50,000 people by taking photos of every one hundred people and then combining every one hundred photos into one, the pixels would naturally be way more precise, and we could more or less guess the gender of each person, but that also means a lot more photos would need to be stored. If we stay on that

    Pausing for a moment, Ira then added, "Oh, and I think I should inform you that His Lordship has delivered our weapons from Sweden, and is expected to arrive tonight."Charlie nodded. "Good. Don't worry about me—just go at your own pace."After all, running guns always required special permits and channels through any country, which Charlie was aware neither he nor Helena could help with. And since Ten Thousand Armies had their own methods, he didn't have to pry.Ira nodded. "Yes, sir! If there's nothing else, my men and I shall leave for recon and plan our sentry positions, as well as the rest.""Okay. Good work."And with that, Ira saluted Charlie before leaving him and Hugo.Once it was just them, Hugo asked eagerly, "Mr. Wade, has the AI module been handed over?""Yes. We have full admin privileges, but we still need time to get familiar with its functions and use it to its full potential… that said, do you think it's going to be useful in your field?"Hugo thought about
