Chapter 3274: Divine Envoy
"If anyone else came asking to buy these shares, I wouldn't even bother seeing them. But since it's our little angel, that's another matter entirely."
The meeting was held at the Bicycle Company. The inventor of the bicycle and the company's usual manager stood somewhat stiffly behind Xu Yue.
Under the original plan, he would have attracted a wealthy investor to buy shares and gradually expanded their channels.
But Xu Yue had taken everything over this time and even brought in the Church of the Evernight's backing. So while he remained responsible for operating and managing the company, Xu Yue was effectively the only person with the final say.
His appearance here this time was merely to show that he was valued. He was essentially a mascot with no real right to voice an opinion.
"Then I truly must thank Instructor Franklin."
Audrey said with a bright smile. Beside her, Alfred pulled out a chair and sat down.
"It's a pity that Mr. Franklin has far too many romantic scandals. Otherwise, I might have considered matching you with my sister."
"That truly is regrettable. I can't give up the whole forest for a single tree."
Xu Yue raised his glass.
"Why do I get the feeling that, according to Instructor Franklin, all you need to do to obtain a certain tree is give up the entire forest?"
Audrey was smiling, but her words were anything but polite.
"That's just your feeling."
"..."
As they chatted, the lawyer placed the prepared contract before them.
Looking at the shares that had originally belonged to Baron Sherlock, as well as Baron Sherlock's letter of authorization, Audrey fell into thought.
It was known that Baron Sherlock was one of Mr. World's identities.
Could Mr. Franklin possibly be Mr. The Lovers?
