Chapter 372: Transition And Inheritance
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Thank you, Grandfather.” Gloria extended a grateful bow toward Jeffree before sitting back in her seat with irrepressible joy on her veiled face.
Upon hearing that, Cyril’s dejected expression imdiately lit up, and a hint of elation flashed through his eyes. He looked at Gloria, and a mocking sneer appeared on his face.
Looks like Father has no intention of handing over the Moreton Family to a woman after all, Cyril thought to himself, and was very relieved. The Blue Suede Textiles Shop was the first business that was founded by the Moreton Family, and was an old establishnt that had been in the Aden Square for several decades.
However, the only rit that textile shop had was its sentintal value, and its importance in the history of the Moreton Family. It was the most diocre among all of the Moreton Family’s countless businesses, and due to lackluster managent, it had been making losses for the past two years. The only reason why it was still open was because Jeffree had insisted on keeping it open.
Now, Jeffree was making Gloria manage that textile shop. She was just a little girl who hadn’t even been outside the manor much, so how could she possibly reverse that situation? She would most likely waste a few years there to no avail before losing her candidacy to the heirloom.
Mickey looked at Gloria with admiration on his face, and he asked quietly, “Big Sister, you’re so aweso! Are you a boss now?”
“Shh, eat first,” Gloria replied in a quiet voice, but the joy in her voice was quite apparent.
My little girl has really grown up. To think that she dares to speak like that in front of her grandfather; she’s just like her father. Debra appraised Gloria with a warm smile on her face.
Even though it’s a difficult beginning, it’s a beginning nonetheless. If she can experience happiness there, then it’s a good thing. Lance picked up his knife and fork. He was aware of the situation of the Blue Suede Textiles Shop, but he was also very surprised that Jeffree would make such a decision at all.
Regardless of whether she would succeed on her journey, everything would be worth it as long as she was happy.
...
“President, this is the information on the Catering Association and Bastie Prison incidents, as well as the suggestions offered up by our panel of advisors. Please have a look and make the final decision.” Manard, who had replaced Mars as Jeffree’s secretary, placed two docunts on the desk in front of Jeffree.
“Read it out to .” Jeffree leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes with an exhausted expression.
“Yes.” Manard imdiately picked up the two docunts, and read out the two series of suggestions.
“Do as they say when dealing with the Catering Association. Our Chamber of Comrce and board mbers cannot take responsibility for that incident. Warren and the vice presidents have already been detained, so they’ll have to bear the full brunt of the matter.” Jeffree opened his eyes, and looked at the second docunt in Manard’s hands as he jeered, “I pay these guys so much, but so of their suggestions are simply absurd. Our Chamber of Comrce is indeed powerful enough to oppose the Bastie Prison, but they’ve forgotten that the Gray Temple and the city lord’s castle stand behind the Bastie Prison. If we offend those two powerhouses, then there will be no place for us in Chaos City.”
“Then, how should we take care of this matter, President?” Manard asked.
“Give them all of our files on Devoe and Goodenia, and fully cooperate with the Bastie Prison’s investigation so we can make up for Cyril’s attempts to bail those two out. We have to ensure that our Chamber of Comrce isn’t swept up in this matter. As for the money that Cyril took, make him spit it up and return all of it,” Jeffree replied calmly.
“But the panel of advisors have analyzed that if our Chamber of Comrce is unable to protect our board mbers, that’ll damage our reputation, and could even lead so board mbers to turn to the Buffett Family instead.” Manard was a little concerned.
“Heh, I’ve never told anyone that the Chamber of Comrce would be a safety net for them, nor do I have any tolerance for those who break rules. People should learn the importance of having fear, and also learn to use rules rather than change them. If that little brat from the Buffett Family dares to accept those people, then she’s a fool who poses no threat to us.” Jeffree chuckled coldly.
“Yes.” Manard’s expression changed slightly, and he picked up the docunts before quickly walking out the door.
The Chamber of Comrce had encountered countless challenges and threats, but Jeffree was always able to overco them through his unique perspective and way of doing things. That was why it was able to beco such a powerful organization on the Norland Continent.
He was a man who had stood at the pinnacle of the business world in Chaos City, and even on the entire continent, for several decades.
I don’t want to see the battle between the Moretons and the Buffetts beco a struggle between two won in the end. I hope you won’t disappoint again, Cyril. Jeffree tapped his fingers on his table absentmindedly as he stared out the window, and fell into deep thought.
...
“From this day forth, Robert will be your new president. He will take over from Warren and reform the Catering Association. He will establish a fairer and more transparent new Catering Association, and the city lord’s castle will also be heavily involved in the process. A third-party surveillance organization to help our Catering Association will beco a true compass for the foodies of Chaos City.”
Within the Catering Association’s conference hall, a representative official from the city lord’s castle announced the inauguration of the new president before shaking hands with Robert.
“Everything for food! I hope all of us can strive toward that collective goal. I hope each and every one of you can feel proud when you look at the mantra on the statue outside.” Robert looked at everyone below the stage with an earnest expression.
A round of applause erupted, but everyone wore different expressions in response to this sudden change.
“With Vice President Robert as the new president, it won’t be long until our Aden Square food competition rankings receive the support of the custors again!” Rood clenched his fists with excitent.
“Indeed. Who would have thought that the forr president and all of the vice presidents would be arrested in one night? I can finally see hope for our Catering Association.” Arvin nodded in response, and was also very excited.
“There’s going to be a massive revolution, right? Will we lose our jobs as a result?”
“Will we have to share the bla for what the presidents have done? There was a group from the city lord’s castle that ca today, and they took all of our docunts. After so many years in the association, who doesn’t have so skeletons in their closet?”
Far more people were panicked and concerned rather than excited.
“Due to the special nature of this transition, we won’t be investigating any average employees, so please do not worry, and focus on doing your jobs, maintaining the normal operation of the Catering Association. I hope everyone can work hard to make the association a better place.” Robert soothed the concerns in everyone’s hearts before announcing the conclusion of the conference.
