Chapter 151 Gathering Everyone
In the evening, Katharine insisted on William staying for dinner at their house. For this, she personally cooked many dishes. This time, her impression of William had completely changed.
"William, eat more. These dishes were all made by me for you." Katharine was very enthusiastic, which was completely different from her previous indifferent attitude.
Noad couldn't help but tease her. "I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about William. You always had a disdainful expression when you looked at him before. What's the matter today?"
Michelle chuckled on the side, but she was also happy to see that her parents liked William.
"Well, things have changed. Now I think William is pretty good." Katharine sincerely appreciated William this time. If it weren't for his help, she wouldn't have been able to surpass Hannah, let alone become the chairman.
"By the way, I have another good news to tell you. My dad wants to retire early, and next month, he will let me take over as chairman." Katharine was very proud, but at the same time, she felt sorry for James, who was hurt by their affairs. It was because of this incident that he wanted to retire early.
"Congratulations, auntie! You can finally become the chairman!" William congratulated her. After so much effort, she could finally become the chairman. It was indeed a joyful thing.
"Congratulations, mom!" Michelle was also thrilled.
However, Katharine's happiness only lasted for a while. She frowned and said, "But my dad gave me a test. It seems that the mayor wants to create a new area called Bay Area in the North district. They will start auctioning land soon and prepare for investment. He asked me to establish a branch company there."
"The mayor wants to build Bay Area there?" Michelle furrowed her brows in confusion.
"I've heard about this. In fact, my grandfather is very concerned about this matter. He is even planning to establish a new company and let us children invest. He is aiming to snatch a piece of land in Bay Area." Noad also nodded.
"Grandfather is old now. Will he take control of the business again?" Michelle asked in confusion. Even though Grandfather Munro was still strong at the age of 80, he might be overexerted if he continued to be involved at this age.
"He says the Bay Area is crucial for the future of the Wilson family for the next ten or twenty years. He also received news that a bridge will be built across the sea, connecting Long Island on the other side. Furthermore, the Bay Area is expected to become an economic special zone," Noad explained excitedly.
"Directly connected to Long Island? And a future economic special zone?" Katharine widened her eyes. This was indeed a big piece of news. It would explain why James valued it so much.
Long Island is at the forefront of the country in terms of economy, culture, and emerging industries. Being directly connected to such a region would undoubtedly accelerate the development of the Bay Area.
"Well, as expected, the Bay Area will definitely become an economic center in the future. Previously, it would take a long detour and at least two hours by high-speed rail to reach Long Island. But once the bridge is completed, even a bus would only take around half an hour. The efficiency would be incomparable," Noad nodded.
William overheard their conversation and noted it in his mind.
He wanted to develop and grow himself, and he couldn't miss this opportunity to contribute to the development of the Bay Area. However, he needed to find a way to participate without revealing his identity. The charity auction last time felt too conspicuous to William, and this time, the land auction and investment promotion couldn't be so high-profile.
"It seems like I need to discuss it with Antony. This is a big opportunity, and I'm sure the Power Group will also be involved!" William thought it was necessary to consult Antony. After all, he was experienced in the business world, and it would be wise to seek his guidance on such matters.
When he returned to Ring Villa, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening. However, Fiona ordered takeout and was the only one having dinner, looking rather pitiful.
"Why are you having dinner so late?" William asked curiously.
"I filmed short videos all day, and I even worked overtime in the evening. I just got back home, and I still have to livestream for another hour. It's really exhausting," Fiona said in a pitiful tone.
"Not bad, keep up the hard work! If you want to become a big star like your cousin, a little hardship is necessary," William smirked, then added, "Remember to sweep the floor later. You haven't done it for two days."
"I'm already so tired, and you want me to sweep the floor? How can you bear to see a cute and sweet girl like me suffer?" Fiona said, pretending to be helpless while acting spoiled. This move worked on other men, but of course, William was different.
"Your cousin told me to discipline you well. I have no choice, your little tricks won't work on me," William shrugged, smiling.
"Damn it!" Fiona cursed William several times, making him itch with annoyance. But, after finishing her food, she obediently went to clean up.
That night, while lying on the sofa, William opened the company's streaming platform, Flying Live. He found Fiona's live broadcast page, and to his surprise, she fell asleep on the desk just a few minutes into the stream.
The camera happened to capture her sweet and adorable face. This scene was being broadcasted live!
"This girl is livestreaming her sleep!" William was speechless. However, many viewers enjoyed watching this scene and found it quite entertaining. When they discovered that the streamer was such a cute and sweet girl, they became even more enamored with Fiona. Some even tried to wake her up by sending gifts, but all efforts were in vain as she slept deeply.
"She's really pretty. People will watch her no matter what she does," William sighed. He casually created an account named "Raining" and gifted her one hundred thousand US dollars. "Consider it an encouragement!" After all, Flying Live was his company.
William then turned off his phone and went to sleep.
The next morning, William was startled awake by a cry. He heard hurried footsteps coming from upstairs, followed by someone shaking him awake.
"William, wake up! Someone gifted me one hundred thousand US dollars last night!" Fiona had slept on the desk all night and only woke up early in the morning. Opening her eyes, she realized she forgot to end the livestream last night.
Upon seeing this, she was shocked. Not only did her fans increase by over a thousand overnight, but many people also sent her gifts. One big spender even gifted her one hundred thousand US dollars. Although this amount meant nothing to her as a wealthy girl, it was the first time she experienced the adoration of her fans.
The excitement and thrill were indescribable, as if she had come closer to her dreams.
"Really? Congratulations then. Keep up the good work," William yawned, encouraging her.
"I have fans now! This is amazing!" Fiona was extremely excited. Her sparkling eyes were filled with excitement.
"Now that you have fans, you must listen to me. After breakfast, wash the clothes you changed out of last night," William said with a smile.
"You want me to do laundry?" Fiona became unhappy again. This despicable William was becoming more and more unreasonable. But he was her most adorable fan from last night.
"I'm in a good mood today, so I won't argue with you. I'll just wash the clothes after breakfast," Fiona said and ran off to her room. Seeing her so happy, William couldn't help but smile.
Fiona had made progress in various aspects, and William was quite satisfied. However, today was the day to negotiate with the Bell family. William called Sharon early in the morning, and after finishing breakfast and getting in the right mood, they left.
Levi had already gathered with Bund and a few loyal subordinates. When William got out of the car, Levi quickly approached respectfully.
"Mr. Brown, as instructed, everyone you wanted to bring is here."
"Well, let's go!" William glanced at the elite subordinates selected by Levi and nodded in approval. The negotiation with the Bell family wasn't going to be smooth, so William had to be cautious. After all, they were not easy to deal with.
