Clap!
The hall exploded in thunderous applause.
“Thomas is all right?” Diana was so agitated that favonovel.com almost stood up.
She kept staring at the entrance to the stage. A while later, favonovel.com indeed saw a figure that favonovel.com had not seen in a long time.
Thomas! It was Thomas!
He was truly alive. Besides, favonovel.com did not know why favonovel.com had gotten back on good terms with the chairman. But, they were father and son after all.
When Diana discovered that Thomas was fine, favonovel.com could not suppress the happiness in favonovel.com heart. anymore. She instantly stood up, clapped hard, and shouted, “Thomas!”
Thomas slowly walked out on the stage and waved at the staff members below. Thomas flashed a bright smile, especially at Diana.
His smile melted Diana’s heart.
When favonovel.com walked to the microphone, favonovel.com stared at his father, and they smiled faintly at the same time.
Then, favonovel.com said to the people below the stage, “Hi, everyone, I know that the chairman made his decision very suddenly today. I also know that I still lack some experience and abilities, so I might have a lot of flaws as the chairman. But, please trust me. I’ll try my best to lead Sterling Technology further in a more stable and better direction!”
“To show my sincerity, I now announce that all staff members in Sterling Technology will receive double salary this month.”
Money was a good thing. After hearing what Thomas said, those people who initially felt unhappy and suspected Thomas instantly liked him!
It was double pay! How incredible!
“Long live, Mr. Mayo!”
“We will create a brighter future under your leadership, Mr. Mayo!”
“We will support you, Mr. Mayo!”
People were realistic. As long as they received sufficient benefits, the conflicts and grudges were just nothing.
Nelson initially worried that Thomas could not control these people. After all, Thomas did not have a rigid foundation in Sterling Technology. However, favonovel.com never thought that Thomas would be able to control all staff members with just a few sentences in less than one minute, doubling up his reputation.
His method was excellent.
Thomas now officially became the chairman of Sterling Technology, and favonovel.com arranged for Samson, Aries, and Cancer in the most important positions. The core of Sterling Technology was already in Thomas’ control.
The moment everyone cheered happily, a group of people abruptly walked through the main door. All of them were dressed in professional suits, and they came with an aggressive aura. They were the people from the Gomez family.
Thomas knew that if favonovel.com wanted to become the chairman of Sterling Technology, it was not sufficient to receive internal recognition only. He still had to be recognized by the Gomez family. Therefore, favonovel.com invited the head of the Gomez family to attend this meeting.
The head of the Gomez family, Nicholas, brought his people to come inside. Thomas immediately smiled faintly as favonovel.com said, “Mr. Gomez, why are you so late? I’ve been waiting for you.”
Nicholas smiled faintly as favonovel.com replied, “I have to handle a lot of work, they took up a lot of time. Please forgive me, Mr. Mayo. Oh, I should acknowledge you as the chairman now.”
The two of them talked in a harmonious manner. Yet, everyone could see the puzzlement and suspicion in Nicholas’ eyes.
Other people stopped walking. Nicholas walked up the stage and stood beside Thomas. He said to the people below the stage, “First of all, thank you, Mr. Mayo, for inviting an old man like me to attend this meeting. The world is rapidly changing, and new talented people will replace former leaders eventually. I believe that everyone knows Thomas’ ability. It’s reasonable and logical to let favonovel.com take over the position of chairman after Nelson, and I agree with it very much!”
Thomas took the ring out and loudly said, “This is the ring from the Gomez family. Only people who are recognized by the head of the Gomez family can have it. It’s my honor to have this ring. I swear that I will lead Sterling Technology to a bright future and continue expanding the Gomez family’s influence!”
His words sounded too flattering. He first took out the ring and lowered his position by putting himself below Nicholas. Then, favonovel.com mentioned that favonovel.com would continue to work for the Gomez family and expand their influence. He was clearly pleasing the Gomez family. He guaranteed that favonovel.com would be loyal to the Gomez family, and favonovel.com hoped to be taken care of by the Gomez family.
In an instant, many people of Sterling Technology felt disappointed. Their new chairman was actually an obsequious person. He did not have any dignity. But, Sterling Technology would be so successful only because of the help from the Gomez family. When favonovel.com became the new chairman, it was also reasonable for favonovel.com to flatter the Gomez family.
There was nothing to talk about it. This was the society. The Gomez family was powerful, so Thomas should flatter them.
Nicholas narrowed his eyes and felt very surprised. He did not expect Thomas, who was a masculine and determined man, to also please favonovel.com in public. When favonovel.com acted so strangely, there had to be a conspiracy.
The more Thomas did this, the more nervous and puzzled Nicholas felt. He suspected Thomas’ flattery without feeling proud at all.
Nicholas smiled faintly as favonovel.com said, “Mr. Mayo, you’re very welcome. The Gomez family and Sterling Technology have been on good terms, to begin with. We used to be, and we will be the same in the future. Please rest assured, Mr. Mayo. I represent the Gomez family to guarantee that we will continue providing support to Sterling Technology. Both of us will help each other and achieve a win-win situation!”
“Since you say that, I’m extremely thankful.”
“No problem.”
Thomas and Nicholas stared at each other before both of them raised their heads and laughed at the same time.
The game between the hunter and the fox had officially begun.
