“I’m not driving that anymore. Cathy doesn’t like it, so there’s no need to keep it.”
Hadley felt embarrassed. “But will an Aston Martin be too cheap? It doesn’t really match your status.”
“Never mind. Cathy drives an Aston Martin too. Since she drives a white one, you can get a black one for me. Just nice, we’ll have matching cars.”
Shaun hung up after he said that. It was as if changing a sports car to him was as easy as shopping for vegetables.
Cate concentrated on her driving and let him do whatever.
As she drove, Shaun said, “This isn’t the way to Hudson Corporation.”
“Mm, I’m going to Yule Corporation. The toxin in my dad’s body hasn’t cleared yet, so I’m going to his company to have a look.”
It was mainly because Joel told her last night that Old Master Yule had agreed to let Melanie return to the company. As such, she had to go and take a look personally. Otherwise, Yule Corporation would become a total mess because of Melanie and her father again.
“If you’re going to Yule Corporation, it means that you’re going to meddle in Yule Corporation’s matters. Will you be able to manage everything?” Shaun frowned when he heard her words. “Do you still have time to be in a relationship with me?”
“When did I agree to be in a relationship with you?” Cate complained.
“It doesn’t matter whether you agree or not because I’ve agreed anyway.” Shaun smiled at her.
After glancing at him in silence, Cate could not resist saying, “Can you go back and get some sleep?”
“Are you worried about me?” Shaun’s eyes lit up.
“No, your dark circles are too deep. It makes you look like a panda, and it affects your looks.” Cate gave him a merciless blow.
Shaun was suddenly at a loss for words. He had the urge to take his phone out to look at his face, but his pride and honor did not allow that. Instead, he just put on a long face.
The car drove into Yule Corporation’s parking lot.
When Cate parked the car and was about to get down, Shaun grabbed hold of her and said with a hoarse voice, “Cathy, can you add me to your WhatsApp contacts? Remove me from your blocked contacts too. If you don’t, I’ll follow you everywhere you go.”
Cate sighed. Then, she added him to her WhatsApp contacts right before him and removed his number from her blocked contacts. “Can I go up now?”
“Okay.”
Shaun got down from the car with her. “Cathy, I heard Yule Corporation and Campos Corporation are planning to establish a joint venture.”
“There was that news before, but since I’m here, I won’t agree to it.”
Shaun nodded. “Campos Corporation isn’t that simple. In the ten years of collaboration they had with Lyons Corporation, they basically paralyzed the senior management of Lyons Corporation. Be careful.”
Cate was taken aback, but she nodded. After she stepped into the elevator, she noticed that Shaun was still waiting outside.
She lowered her head and smiled. She did not expect that this day would come for him.
The elevator went up and led her straight to the floor where Joel worked.
Joel’s right-hand man, Secretary Coleman, had been waiting there for a while. When Cate turned up, he led the employees of the secretarial department forward immediately and said, “Eldest Young Lady, Old Master Yule has brought Melanie to the company today, and they’re currently holding a meeting.”
“Why does my dad not know of this?” Cate raised her eyebrows doubtfully.
“It was a last-minute decision from Old Master Yule. The senior management of every department and a few important shareholders are at the meeting. By the way, the Campos Corporation’s people are here too.”
“Lead the way. I will sit in too.”
Cate had a bad feeling. She turned around and immediately went into the elevator again.
At the conference room on the › 3rd floor.
When Charlie Campos ended his long speech, he said, “Everyone, we all want to earn money. If we want to earn more money, then we have to enter the finance sector. Now is the best opportunity to do so. Yule Corporation has been developing well in recent years, but it’s still a bit lacking as compared to the Lyons family and the Snow family. Grandpa, what do you think?”
Having not managed the company’s affairs for many years, Old Master Yule was dragged into today’s meeting coincidentally by Melanie.
However, Charlie’s speech had moved him.
He was most upset about the fact that Yule Corporation would never be one of the top three wealthiest families in Australia.
“Old Master Yule, say something. We believe in your views. ” President Parker flattered him. “Now that Director Yule has been poisoned and is not as healthy as he used to be, Yule Corporation can only rely on you.”
“That’s right, Old Master Yule. Come back to the company.” A few shareholders advised him. “ Campos Corporation has been developing rapidly over the years, and they’ve advanced to the second largest corporation in Australia. I think we shouldn’t miss out on this chance.”
“Yes. Regardless of personal grudges, if it weren’t for the e-commerce that we’ve previously established with Campos Corporation, Yule Corporation wouldn’t have developed so fast for the past few years.”
“Old Master Yule, you should lead Yule Corporation to glory again.”
Old Master Yule was instantly fired up by the comments. Although he had retired for many years, he was still as ambitious as before. The reason he retired was due to his health problems. However, his health had gotten better from recuperating all these years, so he started to become ambitious again.
“Old Master Yule, let me tell you the truth.” President Parker went to Old Master Yule’s side and whispered, “Although Director Yule appointed Cate as his successor, her last name is still Cox. Yule Corporation can’t possibly change its name to Cox Corporation in the future, right?”
Old Master Yule’s expression changed. If no one had brought that up, he would never have realized it.
Melanie smirked. She turned her head and said,“ Grandpa, I’ve heard Charlie mention about starting a joint venture many times, and it is indeed viable. Currently, there are many people who want to become shareholders as well. If it weren’t for our marriage between the two families, Charlie wouldn’t have prioritized Yule Corporation for such a good project too. But to invest tens of billion dollars into this project, we’ll need someone as bold as you to make a decision.”
Old Master Yule took a deep breath before he pounded on the table. “Okay. It’s decided, then. ”
“Grandpa, what did you decide on?”
The office door was suddenly pushed open. Cate entered in her high heels with a smile. She was in a white blazer that made her look competent and not any less beautiful.
“About starting a joint venture with Campos Corporation. I think it’s very viable, ” Old Master Yule said as he smiled. “Cate, why are you here today?”
“Dad said Melanie is coming back to the company today, so he told me to come over and have a look. ” Cate gave Melanie and Charlie an eloquent glance. “I didn’t know that Sis had planned something grand to do on her first day back.”
“I’m only doing it for the sake of the company’s development, ” Melanie said humbly. “Besides, Campos Corporation has already been preparing this for half a year. It cannot be delayed anymore.”
Cate’s eyebrows moved. Melanie would have been smug in the past, but today, she could keep her composure well. Sure enough, she changed a lot ever since Nicola went to jail.
“So you’ve agreed to it, Grandpa?” Cate looked toward Old Master Yule.
“I’ve heard Charlie explaining it in detail just now, and I’m quite satisfied. We’ll get a net profit of more than 1o billion dollars in the first year. Why shouldn’t we do it?” Old Master Yule was full of confidence.
Cate frowned. “Grandpa, sometimes when a plan sounds overly good, it’ll easily…”
“Ms. Cox, I’ve never been unrealistic. This is not the first collaboration between Campos Corporation and Yule Corporation either. Everyone is clear on what kind of person I am, and I always keep my promises. After all, the success of the Campos family today did not come for free. ” Charlie raised his eyebrows. “I understand that you have a grudge with my wife. However, it’s not the time to fuss about those small grudges when it comes to bigger things.”
What he really meant was that if Cate did not agree to the plan, it would be because she could not stand Melanie.
Deep down, Cate sighed. Melanie’s trick was a clever one. She had secretly egged Old Master Yule on to come to the company and let him make the decision. If Cate did not support his decision, she would be offending him.
However, Cate still did not agree to the collaboration with Campos Corporation.
“Grandpa, I still think it’s better to inspect this matter thoroughly. For example, after the joint venture has been established, who will provide the professional team? Who will be the managing director? Yule Corporation isn’t well versed in the finance sector, so we don’t have the necessary resources as well. If we step into the sector rashly…”
“What do you mean? Are you questioning my decision?” Old Master Yule’s expression darkened. “ Cate, I’ve been in the business world for tens of years. I’m more experienced than you. There’s no need for you to meddle in the affairs of Yule Corporation any more.”
