All Chapters of The Rise of Marvin Rock: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"It seems my wife is too overwhelmed to say it out loud because she's so excited." Marvin shifted his gaze to his father-in-law and said, "Father, if tomorrow Winsoil secures a full year's supply of crude oil from Rockxill and also obtains government approval, then Gennifer must be immediately promoted to corporate secretary—or even better, to the board of directors—so she can properly supervise incompetent subordinates." The heavy burden resting inside Roderick's head was now exacerbated by the nagging of this overly talkative son-in-law. He slumped back into his seat to calm his throbbing brain. His darkened heart and the tangled mess of thoughts in his mind had blinded him to any light. Marvin's words were like a rare beacon attempting to pierce the darkness enveloping the Winston family. At this moment, Winsoil was also grappling with a severe financial crunch, though they had no outstanding debts with traditional banks—primarily because banks refused to lend to them, let alone

In the family room, Russel vented his overflowing excitement. "Mr. Zavier sent two representatives from Rockxill to meet with me. We had quite a lengthy discussion regarding our partnership." Having secured this triumph, Russel immediately petitioned his father to promote him to a corporate director position. However, his father withheld approval. "Your sister, Gennifer, went to the Rockxill office this morning to meet directly with Mr. Zavier. It is entirely thanks to your sister's efforts that Rockxill agreed to dispatch such a massive supply of oil." Caught off guard, Russel looked genuinely startled. "Did Father instruct her to go to the Rockxill office? Why wasn't I informed of this?" "No. It was Marvin who told her to go to Rockxill and meet with Mr. Zavier. You were still at the office yesterday afternoon, Russel, which is why you missed our conversation." Consequently, Derick refused to elevate Russel to a higher position just yet. Instead, Derick opted to award a highly s

This morning, at the multipurpose hall of the Chemisland Central Government Office in the capital city of Gloriston, over three hundred seminar participants gathered. The attendees included student representatives, university elites, government officials, and prominent business figures. A speaker from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources delivered a presentation on the topic: "The Devastating Impact of Coal Usage." Several critical points were highlighted: First, coal combustion is a primary driver of global warming. Coal-fired power plants release significantly more greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide compared to other energy generation methods. Second, it is a major catalyst for air pollution and acid rain. The burning process also yields sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. When these hazardous compounds react with water and oxygen, acid rain is formed. Third, it poisons soil and water sources. Toxic residues left behind from coal waste severely degrade

"You look stunning in that white dress, my love," Marvin Rock said, handing her a small, expensive-looking white clutch. Gennifer Winston caught her reflection in the mirror. She smiled shyly and replied, "Even if you say that for the thousandth time, I'll never get tired of hearing it." As Gennifer spun around, Marvin pulled her tightly into his arms. Their hands intertwined, and though they couldn't dance on the spot, Marvin swayed gently from side to side. A moment later, he pressed a tender kiss to his wife's lips. Meanwhile, Marvin looked impeccably sharp in a black shirt and matching black trousers. Seeing his handsome facade stirred Gennifer's desires anew, but Marvin quickly put a stop to the mounting passion before it could consume too much of their time. "We have to leave now, darling. We can't be late to tonight's reunion... which promises to be quite lively," Marvin murmured, wiping his lips, which were now stained pink from the force of Gennifer's soft, eager mouth. S

Xiever burst into laughter, rubbing his tickled stomach. His eyes blinked repeatedly to reassure himself he wasn't dreaming. "Calvin, I never knew that inhaling too much carbon dioxide and toxic gases in prison could cause specific brain damage." Calvin smiled weakly and chimed in, "His right brain is a bit scrambled. So whenever he tries to use his imagination, his fantasies just go completely off the charts. Ha-ha." "His left brain is damaged too. He predicts the future without any calculations, making his guesses almost impossible to comprehend. Ha-ha-ha." "I feel so sorry for his wife. How can she still want him?" Viola scoffed, rolling her dark eyes lazily. Her lips twitched in utter disgust. Marvin would never forget a single word they had uttered. And naturally, he wouldn't forget his own words either. For now, he maintained a friendly and calm demeanor. Unwilling to cause a massive scene, he chose not to go on the offensive just yet. However, one thing was certain: Marvin
