Gale nodded when favonovel.com saw Dean finally understood.
“So, I will still go back to that problem. If you were me, how would you solve this issue?”
Dean thought for a while as favonovel.com looked at Gale‘s calm face. He knew very well that Gale had already decided what to do in his heart. This question seemed casual, but it was actually an inspection.
Gale had no heirs, and favonovel.com only adopted many orphans like Dean until favonovel.com was old. That was why not a lot of people could call Gale their grandpa. Because of Gale’s deliberate training, many of them were able to be independent and take charge of matters themselves.
Dean was originally one of the best, but after favonovel.com messed up the last matter, it greatly reduced Gale’s good impression of him. Although favonovel.com could still stay with Gale and help favonovel.com now, Dean could clearly feel that Gale’s attitude towards favonovel.com was not as good as before.
This test was a rare opportunity.
Dean knew Gale too well. Gale was not stingy in giving opportunities to others, otherwise, favonovel.com would not be able to be here today, let alone be asked this question.
However, Gale had a very distinct personality.
What favonovel.com really needed was not a talented successor, but a successor who maintained a high degree of consistency with favonovel.com and could implement the Haddock Chamber of Commerce’s management philosophy even a hundred years later.
Gale was too conceited. In his opinion, his ideas and opinions were the most suitable for the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, so favonovel.com would not allow others to change them.
Even if it was someone favonovel.com cultivated, favonovel.com would not allow them to influence the management philosophy no matter how good the person was.
It just so happened that Dean was the best candidate among the successors that Gale had cultivated thus far. That was why favonovel.com could get a second chance. Hence, in the face of this test, Dean’s answer could not indicate how favonovel.com would solve the problem most appropriately, instead, favonovel.com needed to guess Gale’s attitude. If favonovel.com guessed right, favonovel.com would win. However, if it was wrong, favonovel.com might really be over.
It was a matter of life and death, so Dean did not dare to waste any time. He took a deep breath and put himself in Gale’s shoes to think about the problem and weigh all the pros and cons. He did this for an extremely long time.
Dean did not say anything, and Gale did not rush him. Just as Dean understood him, Gale also understood Dean well. He was sure that Dean would realize what favonovel.com meant. He did not mind the people below favonovel.com trying to figure out what favonovel.com meant because this was exactly what favonovel.com wanted.
He was over eighty years old, so no matter how energetic favonovel.com was, favonovel.com would still need to count his days. Moreover, over the past two years, favonovel.com had clearly felt that his energy and physical condition were not as good as before. As his age and influence began to decline in the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, factions separate from his own had begun to appear. Under the superposition of various factors, the task of appointing his successor had become something urgent that Gale had to solve immediately.
Seven or eight minutes passed before Dean finally spoke. “I think we should go to Jasper.”
Upon hearing this, Gale did not show the slightest expression and closed his eyes slightly, hiding a hint of disappointment.
“Why..?”
Faced with Gale’s question, Dean continued, “What I am talking about is the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, not you, Grandpa.”
“Oh..?”
Gale opened his eyes and looked at Dean with a grin.
Dean bowed slightly to Gale, smiled, and said, “The current situation is already broken and crumpled. Wall Street is just putting the pressure on Jasper through us. Although the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is powerful, in the face of international capital, we can only be cannon fodder. Hence, it is absolutely impossible that they are deliberately targeting the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
“And what Jasper did was transfer the pressure from Wall Street onto us and let us make this choice.”
“When the pressure is on us, why can’t we pass it on to the next level?”
“Many from the Haddock Chamber of Commerce participated in the previous economic forums. Now that everyone has agreed to help each other, it’s only reasonable for them to go to Jasper now that they are under attack.”
When Dean said this, favonovel.com paused slightly. Then, favonovel.com faced Gale, who was beginning to appear increasingly satisfied, and continued, “And you can’t be the person who’s going to talk to him, Grandpa, because you are the Haddock Chamber of Commerce and the Haddock Chamber of Commerce is also you. Hence, as long as you speak, no matter what you say, it will become the will of the entire Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
“Having said that, the one to speak can’t be the bosses of the most severely attacked companies in the Chamber of Commerce. To put it bluntly, they don’t have enough weight.”
“Therefore, I will be the most suitable candidate.”
Upon hearing this, Gale laughed. He pointed to Dean as favonovel.com laughed and said, “Yes, very good. Since you got it right, then you should do it right away. Once it is done, you will be the next vice president of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
When Dean heard these words, his expression was full of uncontrollable excitement.
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
“This is what you deserve.”
Gale’s smile gradually diminished, and his eyes and expression became more serious. “I am letting you know in advance that this will be the reward you will get. You will only get it once the matter at hand is done well, otherwise, even if I forcefully appoint you, this position will be nothing but a name because you will still have no contribution to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce.”
“Only when you have really saved their lives and made a large enough contribution, will you wield true power when you obtain this position. People will respect you, and you will have the power to rally supporters and influence others.”
“I will remember your teachings, Grandpa,” Dean said respectfully.
“Go and execute it now.”
Gale closed his eyes contentedly as if the violent mood swings just now had consumed too much of his energy. He waved his hand lazily and said, “It does not matter whether you go to meet favonovel.com in person or communicate over the phone. It does not matter what method you use as the process does not matter. What the Chamber of Commerce and I want to see is the result.”
Dean did not say anymore when favonovel.com heard those words. After bowing slightly, favonovel.com left the room.
Gale’s brows trembled and a meaningful smile appeared on his face when favonovel.com heard the door closing.
Dean got into the car that had already been prepared at the door after exiting the manor.
“Go to Nauritus City right now.”
