In one of Paris' skyscrapers, a bespectacled man stands by a glass window. He watched the crowd below with a glaring look. His whole world turned upside down in an instant. His well-established and stable life in Japan disappeared in one night, even his fiancee is now married to someone else, his name and family changed, his entire identity had already vanished as he disappeared in the Zeotrope in a wounded state.
Fortunately he was still able to use his new identity to acquire the company and the shares he owned on behalf of Kobayashi Hiro, yeah. The man seemed to have deliberately ensnared him with all that kindness in order that he really could not wrinkle anymore.
“Mr Hansel, can the meeting start?” A formally dressed woman who had been waiting restlessly by the door finally opened her voice. This was the first time they had to meet with representatives from other companies who wanted to work with Injan Production, but their CEO instead daydreamed and spent his pack of cigarettes in the room.
The man snorted and picked up a lighter on his desk. Yep. Now his name is Hansel Roux, silly and disgusting, but he has to accept it if he wants to stay alive.
“Betty, you said tomorrow my cousin will hold a wedding reception where?”
The unprepared secretary heard a question that had nothing to do with the company meeting was stunned, but then regained her consciousness quickly and replied, “In the Ballroom of Hotel Le Bristol, Sir. The time and place are listed on the electronic invitation sent to your email.”
Hansel frowned and showed an expression of disdain. Seeing the name of the bride on the invitation made her eyes hurt, how could she read the contents until it was finished?
Betty's forehead was furrowed in. Strange, why did his boss look unhappy at the news of his cousin's wedding? Foreigners were also happy to know the news of the wedding which was said to be held magnificently. Unmitigated, Phoenix.Co invites everyone to come and enjoy the banquet provided at the Le Bristol hotel. Two road blocks along the route were closed specifically for the sake of the wedding. Of course not closed for free, the Roux Family paid fantastic compensation for every building and store that was closed for the sake of the event. Who can refuse it?
“Has everyone gathered in the meeting room?” hansel asked, then sucked his cigarette deep.
Betty sighed and closed her eyes for a moment. He then raised his index finger and replied, “Since an hour ago, Mr. Hansel.”
Really weird. He heard rumors from his co-workers about Andrew Roux who had just run Phoenix.Co for six days, they said Andrew was very disciplined and decisive, all the work was completed on time. The entire board of directors is even required to stand by in the room before the meeting starts. But behold this attitude of his cousin, it is like heaven and earth. If this is the way, they can lose clients before starting cooperation.
“Why not tell me?” reprimand Hansel while turning off his cigarette and grabbing the folder containing the files on the table.
Betty smiled stiffly but did not reply, she knew it would just be a waste of her energy. He walked silently behind his boss who had already gone out and walked towards the room for a meeting on the 9th floor. A Marketing Manager and Head of Public Relations Division immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him enter with CEO Hansel. Judging from their facial expressions, it seemed to have tried very hard to keep the guests from leaving the meeting room. Betty gave a grateful look, then immediately distributed the module to everyone in the room.
However, now all he has to do is prepare to go to Andrew and Keiko's reception tomorrow. Maybe there he could meet some officials or important people who can facilitate his career. It has become a responsibility, as well as just taking advantage of his new identity as a member of the Roux family, it will certainly be very easy to get connections.
“Master, meeting minutes attachment I have sent to your email.”
Betty's rebuke brought Hansel's consciousness back. He turned to his secretary and replied, “Good. Thank you for all your hard work today. Arrange a dinner for everyone today, I'm the treat.”
Betty spring. It was not in vain that he maintained his patience throughout this day. Who doesn't like parties? Free anyway. The girl rushed out and told the happy news to all the section chiefs.
Inside the empty meeting room, Hansel was left alone. The man opened his phone and opened an electronic invitation in his email. A photo in the form of a hologram instantly floated in the air as it opened the existing link. The white dress worn by Keiko sparkled in stark contrast to Andrew's black tuxedo suit. Contrast but harmonious. The glare of the eyes that were staring at each other clearly showed that they loved each other, were also very happy.
Hansel squeezed his phone until his knuckles turned white. He wanted to shout at the world he felt was so unfair, but that wouldn't change anything, would it?
Looks like it's time to let go ....
