A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

Chapter 1580 Seize The Initiative

After Darren left, Jacob sighed and looked around. “What else can I do around here aside from eating?“ He walked around the place and smiled, as if he had thought of an idea. “Oh, how about having a drink with an acquaintance instead?“

Then, holding a glass of wine, he went straight into Darren's private room.

Inside the room, Herman was eating and drinking with Darren. He was surprised when the door opened and a stranger walked in. His gaze turned from the door to Darren, and he saw his gloomy face. He asked, “Darren, who is this?“

The newcomer looked familiar, but Herman couldn't remember his name.

“Mr. Su, nice to see you! I'm Jacob Gu, the president of the HT Group.“ He raised his glass towards Darren. “Mr. Xu and I are old friends,“ Jacob said, looking at Darren contemptuously, almost as if challenging him.

As soon as Herman heard the name of the company, he stood up immediately. He remembered that this was the president of the HT Group, Jacob, who had appeared in the newspapers countless times.

“Oh, it's Mr. Gu! I've heard a lot about you. Nice to meet you!“ With a wrinkled smile on his face, Herman said to Jacob, “Come on, Mr. Gu. Since you are an old friend of Mr. Xu, come and sit. Let's eat together!“

Herman made it all about Jacob, while Darren remained calm.

Darren kept to himself and didn't say anything. The war between the KING Group and the HT Group had already been reported to the media. The food poisoning issue had also caused quite a ruckus in the city, so it was impossible for Herman to not know about it. It was obvious that Herman was trying to cotton up to Jacob, flattering him while he had a chance.

Darren, on the other hand, didn't want to show emotions around Jacob. The three of them sat and ate at the same table, which soon turned the atmosphere a little weird.

“To be honest, I've heard a lot of good things about you, Herman,“ Jacob said. He had already made full preparations in case this moment happened. He had especially checked Herman's information, so now, he praised him sincerely. Finally, he said, “Since Mr. Xu believes in you, I think that you must be trustworthy.“

He had just suggested that the HT Group also wanted to acquire

I'll leave you and Herman alone, since I have something else to deal with. Enjoy yourselves.“ Jacob didn't take Darren's words seriously even though Darren was as stiff as a wall while saying it.
