Life at the Top

A video call that spanned the distance of half the earth was established.

Celine Maynard sat in front of the computer. She stared at the image of Paulson on the screen with a calm expression.

Due to the time difference, it was now afternoon on Paulson’s side of the world.

Evidently, he was extremely busy. After accepting the video call, he immediately said, “Celine, you have ten minutes to talk to me. There’s another important meeting that I need to attend in ten minutes’ time.”

Celine nodded to indicate that she understood. “In that case, I’ll get straight to the point. I don’t mind if the headquarter sends a team to investigate me, but Jasper Laine’s listing plan for Sena cannot be put on hold because of this,” she said intently.

Paulson shook his head. “Celine, although I’ve always admired your capabilities, you let your emotions get in the way this time,” he said in a regretful tone.

“You have to understand that the questions raised by the directors are perfectly reasonable, and they also have the right to do so. This is the power that has been granted to them during the shareholders’ general meeting, and I cannot do anything about it.”

Celine replied solemnly, “Even so, anyone can tell that this listing benefits not just Jasper, but also our investment bank, right? We cannot just push Jasper into the hands of our competitors just because a few directors disagree.

“If that happens, Layman and Merlene Investments will be laughing at us in their sleep.”

Paulson frowned. He fixed a deep gaze upon Celine and said, “Celine, tell me right now. Why did you take the initiative to reduce Jasper Laine’s commission by 20%?”

“I did that to win him over,” Celine replied immediately without thinking twice.

“As I had previously reported to you, Jasper Laine is undoubtedly a business prodigy that everyone is underestimating. Sena, which is an extremely high-achieving company in our eyes, is simply one of the many companies in the diverse group of businesses that he owns.

“I think that our investment bank will benefit greatly from working together with someone like that.”
