Chapter 100: Chapter 97

After a short flight, Westfield and Madison arrived at Mountainview International Airport, over 2,000 miles away.

After getting off the plane, they saw that the Jacob family was already waiting at the exit. They were accompanied by Storm Villageder, Shine Group's vice president.

Madison greeted and introduced Westfield, “Storm Villageder, let me introduce you. This is Jordan Campbell, whom my grandfather invited to deal with the QU Group crisis.Please give him your full support in his work!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Jeremy!" Storm Villageder quickly shook hands with Westfield and politely greeted him.

The news of Westfield being expelled from the Jeremys and John Reed ownership being changed had already spread throughout the upper echelons of the business world.

"Nice to meet you too!" Westfield thought to himself that Storm Villageder was indeed a cunning person.

After exchanging greetings, the look in his eyes indicated that he knew what should not be said,yet he still managed to convey his intended meaning.

People like him best understood people's intentions and knew how to handle things. In terms of speech and demeanor, Westfield gave him a high score. "Douglas Jacob, Mr. Jeremy, please follow me. We've prepared a welcome banquet for you." Storm Villageder said as he led the way. "Mr. Jeremy, we've already booked the hotel for both of you. It's already noon, so please have a meal first. Afterward, Autumnheights tell you the situation regarding QU Group!" Storm Villageder, being a rational man, went straight to the point after exchanging pleasantries. Westfield and Madison had no objections, following him and the others out of the airport terminal.

QU Group was the leading enterprise in Mountainview's real estate industry and has been established for twenty years. It was well-known throughout the city.

The chairman, Frank, made his first fortune thirty years ago by selling goods as a street vendor, and then gradually developed QU Group from a small company into a commercial legend with a market value of billions today.

This was the information Westfield found online before arriving.

He wasn't sure how accurate it was, as various signs during QU Group's rapid development phase ten years ago indicated that there were people supporting Frank in the dark and driving the company's comprehensive rise.

Regardless, Frank's abilities were worthy of recognition. Otherwise, even if he had a backer, he would need some value first to be supported!

QU Group's Tower was one of the landmark buildings in downtown Mountainview. All the way from the airport to the city, Westfield could see the company's towering skyscraper in the core commercial district, luxurious and dazzling.

In Frank's office at the building, he was currently reviewing information regarding the government's plans for a new business district. It was something they had to be aware of in real estate.

At this moment, his son, Louis, pushed the door open and said,“Anthony,I just received news that the Jacob family's people have arrived in Mountainview. It seems to be Madison, Clarence's granddaughter and Nathaniel's daughter.Nathaniel is the family's second son!"

On the other hand, Westfield and Madison had just arrived at a five-star hotel in the city. They dropped off their luggage in the two presidential suites they booked and then went to the restaurant for lunch with Storm Villageder. Frank's eyebrows furrowed,closing the file as he scolded in dissatisfaction, "You're always so lax. Don't you know to knock before entering?" "I was in a hurry! The Jacob family sent some people over this time, and "This hotel is the closest to our group's headquarters,being only a few it's most likely due to those two pieces of land!?" Louis said,looking frustrated.

"Do they not have anyone left? They actually sent a woman over to snatch our goods. Is that possible? Even if Clarence came in person, it would still be useless. What's there to be worried about?" Frank coldly laughed,showing his disdain and strong confidence in his words.

"However, Madison is accompanied by a young man. We took two photos of him from afar when we trailed Storm Villageder to the airport. I've already sent someone to investigate that man's background.”

Louis placed two photos on Frank's desk and said, “Look!"

Frank glanced at them, his eyes widening in surprise. "So, the Jacob family teamed up with the Jeremys, huh? When did that happen?"

“Anthony, who is he?” Louis was intrigued and suddenly remembered something.“Wait, are you saying he's the business genius who was kicked out of Kenneth Scott some time ago?"

Frank< chuckled lightly, making his decision. “What business genius? He's just an arrogant young man. Since the Jacob family has made a move, we should naturally respond. Have someone watch over their activities,especially Westfield. Let's test this guy's abilities when the time is right!"

"Are you suggesting...?” Louis hesitated.

"Now that they've come to Mountainview, they've stepped on our turf. As hosts,we should extenad a proper welcome when the time is right." Frank leaned back on his chair, lighting a Cuban cigar as he blew a smoke ring.

Upon hearing this, Louis smirked. He also wanted to know what it felt like to crush a business genius underfoot! minutes of walking away. Settle down and let me know if you need anything, Autumnheights come quickly!" Storm Villageder said while they were dining.

“Christiannk you for your hard work. You can eat while telling us about any news regarding QU Group.” Westfield knew that the information he had gathered from the internet or the news could only serve as a reference. To truly gain control over QU Group, he needed to go in-depth,particularly with their key figure, Frank.

"Well, during the chairman's coma, Eugene was still Shine Group's president.At that time, he ignored the board of directors' and senior executives'refusals and privately sold me the two plots of land I bought for 5.8billion dollars to QU Group. As of now, they've already signed the transfer contract." Storm Villageder spoke with slight anger in his eyes. It was obvious he wasn't holding back in cursing Eugene!

Westfield squinted his eyes and bluntly asked, “Even if Eugene wants to be reckless, he would still needs to maintain his reputation,no?”

“Reputation? QU Group proposed to exchange 5% of their circulating shares, and he actually agreed! How is that any different from giving it away for free?" Talking about this, Storm Villageder's expression grew even more upset, his tone full of resentment.

“Christiant is the same as...”

“Handing over his company's interests over to an outsider. He's really gone too far!" Madison's face aIso became gloomy.

“You should know that these two plots were within Mountainview's latest planned commercial area. They have bright future development prospects. After development, their total values would estimate to be at least over 10 billion US dollars. It's not just about losing these two lands, but the entire group's future!" Storm Villageder's grief and indignation grew as he spoke. Westfield had been observing the man and could tell that his emotions were genuine, ruling out the possibility of him colluding with Eugene.
