Charismatic Charlie Wade
CHAPTER 5
The two announcements issued by the Emgrand Group had completely shaken the entire Aurous Hill like an earthquake with great force.
When the Wilson family understood that the ownership of the Emgrand Group had changed, he knew why the cooperation with the White family had been terminated.
It seemed like the new owner of Emgrand was not too interested in the White family.
Going back to that point, who exactly is Mr Wade? He easily bought the Emgrand Group which was worth hundreds of billions of dollars in the blink of an eye—wasn't he too great? In fact, the richest person in Aurous Hill would not be too royal!
Instantly, the entire wealthy family begins to make a move, they hope to establish a relationship with the mysterious Mr. Wade while on the other hand hoping to marry off their daughter to Mr. Wade.
Plus, the announcement that the Emgrand Group is investing two billion dollars in a hotel building project shook up the construction and interior design industry in Aurous Hill.
Two billion!
In fact, from the remnants of the project tender, they could still earn a lot of money!
Many companies want that very lucrative business, including Mrs Wilson, who loves money more than anything else!
Mrs Wilson was on the moon for a while. Two billion project! This is the Wilson family's best chance to get a contract out of this super big project.
Therefore, he immediately held a family meeting at his residence to discuss how to get a mega project from Emgrand Group. Everyone must come!
On that night, at the Wilson family residence, Charlie is present because Mrs Wilson asks everyone to participate.
She knew the main agenda of the meeting, so she wanted to take that chance to boost Claire's confidence!
When Harold, Claire's cousin, saw her at the residence, he scoffed in disgust, “Sial! Charlie Wade, you are so shameless. How dare you meet Grandma now!”
With a different expression, Claire said, “Stop your nonsense. Grandma asked all the Wilson family members to come. Charlie is my husband, so of course he is also a member of the Wilson family!”
Harold laughed with sarcasm, “He's a member of the Wilson family? Haha! She's nobody but a daughter-in-law!”
Charlie rubbed his nose from a slight itch and said to Claire, “Honey, just let him go, don't fight with him. Come on, we're fast in, Grandma's waiting.”
Claire nodded and walked inside the house without looking at Harold.
Harold grinned in annoyance, getting ready for the embarrassment they were about to receive.
After entering the room, Charlie and Claire got a seat in the corner of the room.
Soon after, Mrs Wilson came in and the official family meeting began.
Mrs Wilson sat at the end of the table. He tapped on the table and started with passion, “We, the Wilson family, have been waiting for years for this opportunity, an opportunity that will take us to level up, to the top of the social pyramid at Aurous Hill! This opportunity has finally come!”
He continued his sentence aloud, “This time, Emgrand Group announced a mega project of two billion dollars. If anyone can win that tender, it will bring great luck and profit!”
“Add again, it is the first big project of Emgrand Group after the change of ownership. This is a great opportunity for us!”
“If we can cooperate with Emgrand Group and give a good impression on the new Director, in the future we will become very strong and famous!”
The people present were rather indifferent and uninspired compared to Mrs Wilson.
In fact, it is nothing new in the Wilson family to partner with the Emgrand Group. However, for a very long time, the Emgrand Group had never heeded the request of the Wilson family. What made Mrs Wilson think they could get a piece of that mega project?
Disturbed by the silence, Mrs Wilson's face reddened in anger and shouted. “Why? Are you all being stupid now? Are none of you confident to take part in the two billion dollar project?”
Mrs Wilson now started to fidget, she gritted her teeth and roared, “You all listen to me! Anyone who can get a thirty million dollar deal from Emgrand Group will then become a Director at the company!”
Everyone's jaws were like falling to the floor when it was as if a bomb had exploded inside the room.
Mrs Wilson led the family and the company with an iron fist, so she never appointed a Director at the company. After all, the Director had great power in his hands the entire time, only the successor of the company was worthy of getting the position.
Now that he was giving the position as a reward, he definitely hoped that he would find someone to do the job with a lucrative reward. He was certainly very excited about the project.
Although the reward was very comforting, it was not an easy task to do.
To get a deal with Emgrand Group and plus get a thirty million dollar contract? It was a joke of the century for members of the Wilson family. Even though Lady Wilson himself spoke directly to them, the company executives would not heed it, let alone talk about cooperation.
The meeting room became as quiet as a church.
Mrs Wilson hit the table angrily and shouted, “You all are descendants of the Wilson family, no one can solve this problem for the family?”
Then, he turned his head and looked towards Harold. “Harold, I leave this task to you!”
Harold laughed bitterly and quickly spoke, “Grandmother, even the White family alone was kicked by the Emgrand Group. Our family level is lower than theirs, how could we possibly get a deal with Emgrand.”.
Mrs Wilson scolded her loudly, “Junk! How could you dare to refuse, even before you try it! You don't even have any hope compared to Charlie's loser!”
In fact, Mrs Wilson herself did not have the confidence to do so, but she did not want to always be the head of the family at the second or third level in the social pyramid. He wanted the Wilson family to be able to climb a higher level, even in his dreams.
Emgrand Group's mega project is his only chance to make his dream come true. Therefore, he did not want to give up even though this was difficult.
He thought that his eldest grandson, Harold, would accept this task willingly, but unexpectedly, he immediately refused in front of his face!
Harold was also feeling sad and depressed. No sane person would accept this impossible task. He was confident that he would be kicked out immediately, even before he walked towards the door of the Emgrand Group.
At that time, not only would he fail in the task but he would also be humiliated and ridiculed. That was what made him disagree with Grandma's orders, whatever the reason.
Mrs Wilson glared at everyone and shouted loudly, “How about you guys? Any of you dare to take on this challenge?”
At that moment, Charlie nudged Claire with his elbow and whispered, “Honey, accept this mission!”
Claire shouted in surprise, “You are crazy? It is impossible for Emgrand Group to cooperate with small companies like us!”
Charlie smiled and spoke confidently, “Don't worry, you can definitely get this deal!”
Claire opened her eyes wide. “You sure?”
Charlie nodded seriously and said, “Of course! I don't think that's a problem for you! Trust me, take this opportunity. Your status in the Wilson family will increase in the future!”
Claire could not explain why, but she was hypnotized by Charlie's words. He stood up before he could digest what Charlie said and he said to Mrs Wilson, “Grandmother, I am willing to give it a try.”.
