Jeanine approached me, but when she passed James, her expression froze. "Mr. Canien? You're here too! That's terrific. I see you've already started chatting with my boss, Mr. Grimwald!

"So, what do you think of our project now that Mr. Grimwald is here? Would you like to sign the contract?"

James and I stared at each other, bewildered. In that instant, we both realized the truth.

James was the client I had been sent to meet.

I smirked. "So you're my client after all, Mr. Canien? I guess the idiot who wants to partner with me was you all along."

I sneered and picked up the glass. "Would you like some ketchup to go with this?"

James grimaced, his cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Sebastian was the CEO of Sleeping Giant Inc.? He had been ridiculing both his supposed rival and his potential client, only to discover he had been mocking himself the entire time.

"What are you gloating about?!" James snarled. "You think you've won, huh? If I'd known you were the one running this

    In just five days, profits topped 20,000,000 dollars. By the seventh, we had shattered the hundred-million mark. And by the tenth day, Sleeping Giant's liquid assets had already surpassed those of most second-tier families in Astergrad, just half a step from first-tier status.But even the strongest tide eventually receded, especially in the pharmaceutical world. After ten days of relentless growth, our financial reports finally began to steady."I hereby announce that overtime is officially over! Everyone, you've worked hard these past couple of weeks! Starting today, you all get a full week of paid vacation, triple salary, and full bonuses!"I gathered the dozen or so core members of Sleeping Giant into my office to deliver the news myself. By now, each of them had risen to a senior position in their departments."Thank you, Mr. Grimwald!""I've been dying to take a trip abroad. Time to go wild!""Ever since I started working for Mr. Grimwald, spending money doesn't even make m

    "Since that last poisoning failed because of conflicting drug properties, this time I'll give you a real poison formula."When you start mass-producing it and putting it on the market—when people start dropping dead everywhere—what will you do then?" Terry sneered, his grin twisted and cruel.Terry's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he watched Sebastian nod at Luke and take the formulae. He turned the wheel triumphantly and drove off.-Far away, on a snow-covered peak thousands of miles away, the wind howled like a wild beast. The blizzard raged so fiercely it turned day into night."Hello?"Hello, Sebastian. I miss you!"Have you finally made up your mind?"Metis was bundled in thick gloves and a heavy hat, wrapped up so tightly she looked like a penguin.Her beautiful face was flushed red from the cold as she frowned at her phone. The signal bar was completely empty."What kind of lousy signal is this? It's just a little snow, and I can't even make a call or send a messag

    "We've made more than 10,000,000 dollars in one minute!"What?!I turned and stared at the desktop screen as the figures in our account jumped higher and higher. My heart nearly stopped. Who could've imagined our drugs would become this popular?"Great! Once all our stock is sold, our next step is to monitor customer feedback. We need to respond instantly to every inquiry, complaint, and medical report," I said, nodding and smiling.After handing out bonuses to my employees, I left the office.With our balance replenished, it was time to purchase new formulae ahead of schedule.Metis' dividends were about to soar. I wondered what she'd think when she saw the numbers.I called her as soon as I got into my car.The ringing went on longer than usual before the call finally connected. Her voice came through in broken fragments. "H-Hell… Seba… I…"Wherever she was, the signal was terrible."O Wise Goddess of Medicine, I can barely hear you," I said, half-laughing. "You're cutting

    [This is the most based boss ever!][Are their drugs still in stock? I heard they only produced a small first batch! I need to buy some before the price skyrockets!]Sleeping Giant's drug certificates, components, and the doctor behind its formula had all been dug up by curious netizens.To everyone's delight, every detail checked out—even under the strictest scrutiny. Overnight, Sleeping Giant became the hottest pharmaceutical company in the city.The drugs sold out almost immediately. Demand far outstripped supply.At the office, Sleeping Giant's core team worked late into the night. Their meeting stretched until three in the morning, yet not a single person looked tired.

No other company could've handled today's crisis the way you did!"Their admiration for Sebastian f

    The comment section was just as stunned.[Shit! Holy moly, what a plot twist!][There was someone behind this all along? Absolute cinema!][Sebastian is such an upstanding guy. You don't see men like him anymore!]The livestream's viewership skyrocketed, spreading across every major platform. The first wave of memes had already begun.More importantly, public opinion had swung firmly to Sleeping Giant's side.-Terry gritted his teeth, his expression dark."You said everything would work out, Edmund Castle! Why the hell did you pick this place for your meeting spot?!" he thundered.Edmund flinched under the weight of his fury. The villa was his new home, a gift from Terry. He had spent so much time partying here with women that he refused to leave, which was exactly why he had chosen it for the meeting."M-Mr. Amos, I… I'm so sorry! Please give me another chance!"Terry's response was a sharp slap across the face."Another chance? For what? No, this is all your fault! You d

    "Don't make your father and me despise you, Danny. We are not ingrates. We are not bastards!"The video ended.Silence fell over the crowd. Tears streaked the faces of several older folks and parents who felt the weight of Charles' words.The younger ones stood frozen, unable to speak.On the other hand, the news influencers were dumbstruck."Who could've seen this coming?" one of them muttered."The boss never said this might happen! What do we do now?"One influencer snapped out of it first. "Who cares what the boss said? If this is real, we're the ones breaking the story. That means clicks, ad revenue, money—way more than whatever that guy promised us!""Oh, you're right, sis!"Grifters like them knew no loyalty.
