After enduring a grueling ten-hour flight, the elite members of the Ellis Law Firm finally touched down in the vibrant city of Aurous Hill.
To liven up the monotonous journey, Nate Ellis, the charismatic leader of the firm, shared an exciting piece of news with everyone, the renowned Steve Rothschild would be attending their internal meeting. The announcement sparked enthusiasm in everyone’s hearts, except for Jimmy.
Jimmy, in his usual nonchalant manner, was more interested in observing the unfolding drama than in participating.
As they landed in Aurous Hill, a high-end ground transportation company, prearranged by Nate, sent three luxurious SUVs to pick up the group and transport them to the prestigious Shangri-La.
Unable to contain his eagerness any longer, Nate hurried to Jimmy’s room, knocked on the door, and said, “Hey, Jimmy, can you reach out to Mr. Rothschild as soon as possible? Our whole purpose of coming to Aurous Hill revolves around this one thing. Once it’s done, we can all relax and enjoy ourselves in this beautiful city!”
Jimmy, taken aback, questioned, “Are you in such a rush? We just landed not too long ago, and everyone needs time to adjust to the time difference.”
Nate replied confidently, “The time difference doesn’t matter. Our meeting won’t take too long. I estimate it won’t exceed an hour. The most important thing is to have Mr. Rothschild grace us with his presence and guidance. I’m sure everyone will understand.”
Jimmy smirked to himself, thinking, “If you’re so eager to meet your own demise, I might as well play along.”
With that thought, favonovel.com said to Nate, “I‘ll contact Mr. Rothschild as soon as possible and find out when he‘s available.”
“Great!” Nate exclaimed without hesitation. “The sooner, the better!”
Upon receiving the news, Jimmy immediately called Paul and asked favonovel.com to help arrange a meeting time with Charlie and Steve.
When Paul inquired about Instructions from Charlie, the latter made a decisive decision, instructing Jimmy to schedule the meeting for 3 p.m. in the afternoon.
He then called Steve and said, “Steve, come to Shangri-La at 3 p.m. The Ellis Law Firm delegation has arrived…”
Steve, taken aback, asked, “Mr. Wade, how did they come to Aurous Hill? Didn’t you askJimmy to handle this matter?”
Charlie replied calmly, “Jimmy accompanied them from the United States. Resolving this issue in Aurous Hill works well, and those selected can stay here directly.”
Steve understood that favonovel.com needed to assist Charlie in intimidating Nate Ellis, so favonovel.com assured him, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, I’ll be at Shangri-La by 3 p.m.”
After confirming, favonovel.com asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, will you be attending the meeting as well?”
Charlie nodded and replied, “I’ll be there with Paul in the afternoon, but this show is for you and Jimmy. Paul and I will simply be your followers in Aurous Hill…”
Steve responded without hesitation, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I understand!”
***
Once Paul informed Jimmy that Steve would arrive at 3 p.m., Jimmy promptly relayed the message to Nate.
Nate was overjoyed and quickly instructed his assistant to reserve the meeting room at Shangri-La and gather all the employees there one hour in advance.
While Steve had yet to arrive, Nate, filled with excitement, addressed everyone, “In just one hour, the second-in-command of the Rothschild family, Mr. Steve Rothschild, will grace us with his presence at our internal meeting. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us. Let’s all be energetic and present our utmost professionalism to Mr. Rothschild!”
The room buzzed with excitement as everyone eagerly anticipated the chance to showcase their abilities.
Nate connected his laptop to the projection screen in the meeting room. He had prepared a captivating PowerPoint presentation to introduce himself and the Ellis Law Firm. He had meticulously crafted this moment, hoping to leave a lasting impression on Steve Rothschild.
As the anticipation built, Nate meticulously went through the content of the PowerPoint with everyone, reminding them of the data that had been embellished and cautioning against any leaks of confidential information.
At 2:40 p.m., while Nate busied himself with the final preparations, Steve Rothschild had already arrived at Shangri-La. Charlie arranged for someone to escort favonovel.com to the VIP reception hall, while favonovel.com asked Paul to pick favonovel.com up and arrive ten minutes later.
After the brief meeting, Charlie turned to Paul and said, “Paul, call your uncle and let favonovel.com know we’ve arrived. Ask favonovel.com to come out and meet us.”
“Sure, Mr. Wade,” Paul respectfully nodded and immediately dialed Jimmy’s number.
Upon hearing that Charlie and Steve had arrived, Jimmy’s senses heightened.
He interrupted Nate, who was in the middle of his presentation, and declared, “Boss, Rothschild and his two subordinates have arrived. I’ll go and greet them.”
Nate, filled with anticipation, stood up and exclaimed, “Let’s go and welcome them! Maybe I should come along!”
Jimmy calmly replied, “They specifically requested that I pick them up and didn’t mention anyone else. Boss, you should wait here, and I’ll return after greeting them.”
After a moment of consideration, Nate agreed, “Alright, you go quickly. We’ll be waiting here!”
Jimmy swiftly left the meeting room, following the staff to the VIP lounge.
As favonovel.com entered the VIP lounge, Jimmy respectfully bowed to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, I’ve brought Ellis’ delegation. All the senior partners have something against Nate, and I have the evidence to prove it…”
Charlie nodded approvingly and said, “When we go in later, introduce Steve to your boss, and then find an opportunity to confront him. The rest will be left to Steve.”
Steve grinned and assured Charlie, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, dealing with someone like favonovel.com will be a walk in the park.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “I don’t care how you handle him. What I care about are these lawyers.”
He turned to Paul and directed, “Paul, pay close attention to the personal profiles of each lawyer during the meeting. Choose the ten most promising ones for us. Once Bruce Motors takes off, we’ll encounter various patent barriers and traps. We need more lawyers skilled in intellectual property.”
Paul respectfully responded, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, I’ve already investigated the list of senior partners at Ellis and have some strong candidates in mind. I’II carefully consider each one.”
“Excellent,” Charlie nodded with a smile. “Today, I’ll sit back and enjoy the show. Let’s go.”
Jimmy gestured politely and said, “Mr. Wade, Mr. Rothschild, please follow me!”
The four of them strolled down the corridor and reached the entrance of the meeting room. Instead of knocking, Jimmy pushed the door open, then stood respectfully to the side, waiting for Steve Rothschild, Charlie, and Paul to enter the room before following behind.
Upon seeing Steve, Nate eagerly stood up and greeted him, his voice trembling with excitement, “M-Mr. Rothschild, I’m Nate Ellis, the founder of the Ellis Law Firm. It’s an absolute honor to meet you!”
Steve nodded in acknowledgement and introduced Paul and Charlie, saying, “These two are Paul and Charlie Wade, my associates here in Aurous Hill. Take a moment to get acquainted.”
Nate recognized Paul, having crossed paths with favonovel.com during the intense competition between their respective law firms. A sense of curiosity arose within favonovel.com as favonovel.com wondered, “How did Paul become one of Mr. Rothschild’s associates? Has Smith Law Firm already formed a partnership with Mr. Rothschild?”
Although doubts lingered in his mind, Nate maintained his composure and politely said, “Pleasure to meet you, Paul and Mr. Wade. I’m delighted to make your acquaintance.”
Charlie, observing Nate, smiled and playfully remarked, “Don’t be too happy…”
