Chapter 1600: Shareholders’ Meeting (3)
In the grand meeting room on the 66th floor.
The atmosphere was very oppressive.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats and whispered with those they were close to.
Enna Clark held a small amount of Lawrence Corporation shares, making her a shareholder as well, so she sat with Edward Jackson.
"Master, this lady must be the Habsden heiress, right? Hearing of someone’s reputation can’t compare to meeting them in person; indeed, she has an excellent demeanor," the man sitting next to Edward Jackson said, courteously complimenting Enna.
Edward Jackson was always more cordial to those who praised Enna than to those who praised him. Indeed, a gentler smile graced his elegant face. "Not at all, Brooks, you’re too kind. She’s just a kid, what demeanor can she have?"
"Oh, you are just being modest, Edward. Don’t pretend you don’t know about the outstanding capabilities of the Habsden heiress. In just over a year, Rhine’s revenue increased by 25% under her management. If she’s still a kid with that kind of ability, then my own kid should just go back to kindergarten," President Brooks said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Ah, my child, everything is fine but they just show no interest in the company. If they were half as sensible as Ms. Clark, I wouldn’t have to worry so much every day."
Edward Jackson’s tea-colored eyes were profound, and his mature and steady face brimmed with a smiling expression. "Don’t worry, your young master is still young; he’ll understand when he gets a little older."
"I hope so."
The man beside him glanced around the conference room and lowered his voice.
"Luckily, we’ve only got him. If there were a dominant sister as well, it would probably spell trouble down the line."
After saying this, he patted Edward Jackson’s shoulder and added, "I know you have a good relationship with Young Master Baron of the Lawrence Family. We’ve been friends for many years; I’ll definitely be on your side."
