Upon the arrival of ten new members joining the executive seats at the grand meeting room in the Brown Company Building, it naturally caused a stir of admiration and raised many questions among the employees.The remaining five veteran executive members, however, were not pleased. They felt slighted that these young faces were now a part of the same circle they had been part of for years. Nevertheless, they kept their grievances to themselves, knowing full well that Arthur was the one in charge."Well, what an eventful day this is!" Arthur exclaimed. "Thank you all for being so enthusiastic about this big change."All eyes in the room, as well as those watching via the large screens, were eagerly anticipating Arthur's next words. Everyone knew that, on that day, he would be announcing the people who would be taking up important positions in the company. “I don't want to spend too much time on what I need to say today,” Arthur said, motioning towards the ten individuals seated in the

Cosmo, a thirty-something man, stepped out of his vibrant red sports car. He had a t-shirt on, a pair of training pants, and a pair of glasses perched atop his face. His gaze shifted to a nearby luxury vehicle, and he uttered a soft whistle of appreciation as he walked closer. "Phew… Is this a Roll-Royce Silver Shadow II?" Being a car enthusiast, he quickly recognized the car. He took a few steps closer, examining it with admiration, and said with awe, "This is a car that only ten units exist in the world." Someone opened the car window, and Cosmo recognized Benno right away. "Huh?! Benno? Is that really you?!" he exclaimed in disbelief, as he hadn't expected to see Benno in that place. "Yes," Benno replied, his voice urgent. "Please get away from here immediately. You're acting very strangely just standing here watching this car like this." With that, he closed the window again. Cosmo looked surprised and said, "If he really is Benno, then I'm not surprised this car belongs t

As the sun started to dip below the horizon, Arthur and Alicia remained at the shooting range, both in awe of Alicia's progress. Her face was still glowing with enthusiasm and excitement. "I can't believe how far I've come," She exclaimed, looking at Arthur with a proud smile. "You should be proud," Arthur replied, giving her an affectionate smile. "You've done an amazing job." She then took the gun back, rotating the weapon in her fingers with the familiarity of a long-time shooter, and fired at the target with extreme accuracy. Bang! "Whoa, I actually hit the target," Alicia exclaimed in surprise. She quickly put the gun back on the plate and, with an agility born from practice, pulled it back out and fired three quick shots. Bang! Bang! Bang! Each and every shot struck the target without a single miss. "Is it really possible that I'm already a pro after just one day of practice?" Alicia said softly in amazement, shaking her head. She finally felt satisfied that she had

"Why did I feel the urge to punch that guy the second he showed up? Do you know him?"Patrick asked Cash with a hint of exasperation in his voice, feeling instantly provoked by Arthur's presence. Even more so, Patrick had never seen him before, indicating he was certainly not someone of great importance.It was natural for Patrick, who had a vast network, to be acquainted with many remarkable individuals in Southlake and even beyond its borders; however, this was not the case with the man standing before them."I haven't got a clue who that jerk is," Cash Todd fumed, his irritation growing as he saw Arthur, so young and yet presumptuous enough to think he was worthy of sitting next to him and Patrick, who had so much influence. "Let's give him a lesson in manners and respect – show him who's boss," he added."I guarantee you," Patrick replied confidently, "that I will make him kneel before me in front of everyone."Arthur stepped confidently up to Patrick and Cash with a nod and a w

Arthur quickly pressed the green button, which immediately drew the attention of Patrick, Cash, the audience in the studio, and the viewers on television. "I believe Mr. Fan Tian's product is truly revolutionary. He has devoted a great deal of time and effort to developing his Artificial Intelligence, and I'm confident that it will be incredibly impactful when used to its full potential. I also agree with Fan Tian's funding proposal. Oh, I didn't hear how many shares you are offering for the 10 billion dollar fund. How much is that?" Fan Tian was speechless upon hearing Arthur's words. He swallowed hard, nodded quickly, and then tried to explain himself. “Mr. Gardner, I'm not asking for any shares. You can keep 100% of the shares, as long as I can finish this project. All I need is a monthly salary. I'm satisfied.” He still couldn't believe what was happening. Someone had granted his wish to continue the project he loved so much. "Alright then," Arthur said, "we can continue discus
