One second... two seconds... three seconds...
Twenty or thirty seconds passed, and no one answered. Everett frowned, wondering why.
The phone rang for almost a minute before being answered. Everett immediately greeted him politely.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Gerald Herbert?"
"I am Gerald, who are you?"
A cold, aged male voice came from the opposite side.
“Mr. Gerald Herbert, I am Everett.”
"Everett, don't you know him?"
Just as Everett was about to get down to business, Gerald Herbert's answer left him speechless.
Don't you recognize me?!
Wait a minute, Orlando just told me that he had made the contact, so why is Gerald Herbert suddenly saying that he doesn't know me?
Everett was stunned for a while before he suddenly realized what was going on.
“Mr. Gerald Herbert, I’m a friend of Orlando’s. I own an entertainment company with lots of beautiful women. I’d like to invite you to come and ‘have some fun’ in a few days.”
Everett made a meaningful suggestion to Gerald Herbert.
According to Orlando, this Gerald Herbert, although over sixty, is "young at heart" and has a particular fondness for long-legged beauties.
Everett speculated that Gerald Herbert didn't actually not know him at first, but rather wanted to get something out of him.
After all, it's impossible to do something for someone who is a complete stranger, so it's not "for free".
Coincidentally, he owned a medium-sized entertainment company with a plethora of beautiful women, which perfectly met Gerald Herbert's requirements.
"Oh, I remember now, hello."
Seeing that Everett was very sensible, Gerald Herbert's attitude softened.
What do you want from me?
"That's how it is..."
Everett told Gerald Herbert about Ye Chen.
"Ye Chen is the third largest shareholder of our Kaiyun Group. It would be difficult for me to put pressure on him."
Gerald Herbert said with a "difficult" expression.
In fact, Gerald Herbert was 100% confident that he could easily resolve this matter.
If I just make a phone call to Ye Chen, he'll obediently hand over the person.
After all, besides being the second largest shareholder of Kering Group, he also holds a certain position in Europe's wealthy circles and is a long-established figure.
How could Ye Chen, a junior, dare to disrespect him?!
However, Ye Chen is the third largest shareholder of the group, and if I do this, I will definitely offend him.
Everett just wanted him to "have some fun" at that modeling agency, and he thinks he can put pressure on Ye Chen? Isn't that too simplistic?
Everett understood Gerald Herbert's meaning and couldn't help but curse inwardly:
That greedy old fox is really going to fleece himself.
But for House's sake, Everett agreed.
"Here's what we'll do, Mr. Gerald Herbert. If you put pressure on Ye Chen and help me resolve this matter, I'll give you half of the shares in that entertainment company."
"Any female star in the company can have a private one-on-one or one-on-several in-depth conversation with you, if you wish."
Everett said with a pained expression.
"make a deal."
Gerald Herbert was satisfied with the terms, and he had previously promised Orlando that he would help Everett.
"Just wait for my news. If nothing unexpected happens, your employee will be back tonight."
Gerald Herbert made a solemn promise.
After exchanging a few more words, Gerald Herbert obtained Ye Chen's contact information through the group and called Ye Chen.
On the other end of the phone, Ye Chen was celebrating Su Ling'er's birthday when he suddenly received the call.
"Release Everett's henchman immediately. I want Everett to see him within an hour."
A commanding voice came through the phone.
Hearing this, Ye Chen was stunned.
Suddenly, he received a phone call, and the person on the other end ordered him to release the middle-aged black man.
Are you kidding me?!
Why should I listen to you?
Ye Chen retorted, "Is the person on the other side crazy?"
Why should I listen to you?
"Because I am Gerald Herbert!!!"
Gerald Herbert proudly stated his name.
In Gerald Herbert's imagination, Ye Chen, after learning who he was, would respectfully apologize to him while voluntarily releasing Everett's men.
As a result, when Gerald Herbert was daydreaming, Ye Chen's words immediately broke Gerald Herbert's defenses.
“Gerald Herbert, never heard of him.”
Never heard of it?!
This Ye Chen hasn't heard of me?!
Gerald Herbert was completely devastated.
In the company, how could someone of lower status than myself not know me?!
Gerald Herbert felt that Ye Chen was deliberately trying to provoke him.
"I am the second largest shareholder of Kering Group!"
Gerald Herbert introduced himself.
"oh."
Ye Chen calmly replied with an "oh," his tone unchanged.
So what if I'm the second largest shareholder? There are quite a few shareholders, big and small, in the Kering Group. I've only been a shareholder of the Kering Group for a short time, so it's normal that I don't know them.
"Now you know who I am, quickly release Everett's men."
Gerald Herbert continued to give orders.
"What right do you have to order me around?"
Ye Chen simply replied and hung up the phone.
"ill."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen muttered something.
Let alone being the second largest shareholder of Kering Group, even the largest shareholder, the big boss of Kering Group, has no right to order me around!
I am a shareholder of Kering Group, but not an employee. Why should I take orders from the second largest shareholder?
Moreover, Ye Chen absolutely cannot let that middle-aged black man get away with it!
That was the case before, and now that the game has released challenges, it's even more impossible to bypass him.
"Brother-in-law, who's looking for you?"
Seeing the change in Ye Chen's expression, Su Ling'er asked.
Su Ningshuang and Zhao Shuxuan also looked over curiously.
Just when they thought Ye Chen would answer with something like "business partner," his answer made them burst out laughing.
