Chapter 230:
"Is it... Mr. Neo?" When Vera heard Lynch mention that Neo was behind this matter, she momentarily lost her composure.
For a long time, as a semi-housewife, she lived around Gap, who would often talk about interesting things within the Listoan Group and some anecdotes about CEO Neo and the board of directors.
These stories could be considered a part of corporate culture. People liked to talk about the higher-ups, as if their opinions could be heard and validated by those at the top.
In Vera's understanding, Neo was not just a simple symbol. His name represented the ultimate aspiration for which Gap had strived for a long time.
It was an aspiration, not a goal, because Gap knew he couldn't reach it, but it didn't stop him from working towards it.
Lynch sat beside her, the television on but muted.
The people on the screen continued their performance, like a silent film.
He asked curiously, "Do you know Neo?"
Vera, snapping back to reality, nodded and took a small sip from the glass on the coffee table. "Yes, I once attended a management celebration event held by Listoan for their new stock peak. I saw him from a distance at the party. He felt very imposing, just like those big figures on TV."
