Chapter 58 Make Him Feel Ashamed of Himself
"Sorry, I rarely shake hands with women." Elbert squinted and smiled, releasing his hand. Aldrich stepped back repeatedly, his face twisted in pain.
"You..." Aldrich's face turned red, and he was about to explode.
"Aldrich, it's your first time at the estate; let me show you around." Rex smiled warmly, opened his arms, and wrapped them around Ethan and Aldrich, leading them away.
Mr. Brown saw everything clearly and smiled. "Well, that's young people. Meeting for the first time and already full of tension."
Elbert also smiled faintly. "Sir, to be honest, I don't feel much tension with these 'young talents' because the difference in level is just too great."
"No wonder you're a descendant of the Brown Family. It's good for the young generation to be a bit arrogant; go for it. If you get into trouble, I'll back you up," Alan said.
In the distance, Rex frowned and said seriously, "Aldrich, you have a fiery temper. Small impatience spoils great plans. Losing your composure in front of Alan won't do you any good."
Aldrich calmed down, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.
Rex squinted and said, "You two, you should know what kind of person Elbert is by now, right? Before he came to the Brown Family, he was just a worker, with nothing but brute strength. But other than that, he has nothing. No power, no background. He can't compare to you two at all."
Seeing the increasingly angry expressions on their faces, Rex continued, "To be honest, I don't like that guy either. I want to kick him out of the Brown Family, and you both want to get rid of a competitor for Lori. The three of us can totally unite."
They suddenly looked up and said, "How do we unite?"
Rex smiled coldly. "You know some elders will be coming later, so according to tradition, there will be an opportunity to speak at the luncheon, which is actually a chance to showcase yourself."
"At that time, Ethan, you publicly announced Paul’s concert, choosing my plan. Of course, I will give you extra benefit. I will publicly promise that the concert's product sales will guarantee at least 20 billion dollars. Additionally, I'll add another 200 million dollars to Paul’s appearance fee. "
"And Aldrich, I promise to introduce you to investors for your company's third round of financing, ensuring your success. You can boldly reveal your company's IPO plans at the luncheon. This way, your achievements will definitely impress everyone."
"And what does Elbert have? Just brute strength. It's simply a joke. Everyone will realize the gap between him and us. Aldrich, even if you punched him twice just now, so what? It would only make you look reckless. Our circle relies on what? It's power, status, and connections. When Elbert is humiliated in front of Alan and the other elders, with nothing to show for it, he will naturally be eliminated because no one will need him."
Ethan and Aldrich seemed to be enlightened by Rex.
Yeah. This was the luncheon of the richest man in Wavehaven. It was the perfect time to showcase their abilities. And truly crushing Elbert meant demonstrating abilities that he couldn't even dream of.
After receiving Mr. Brown's call, the two of them immediately investigated Elbert. He was just a part-time worker at a restaurant, who stumbled into saving Lori, and thus rose to prominence. It was almost laughable. They wereboth company owners, worth billions, and yet they were competing with such a lowly person? It's unnecessary. Power was everything. Make him felt ashamed.
"Aldrich, thanks to your reminder." Aldrich smiled self-deprecatingly, "If it weren't for you, I might have punched that little loser just now. That would have been humiliating." Then, Aldrich patted Aldrich's shoulder, "Let's do as you said."
"Great." Rex nodded and looked at Ethan. "Ethan, what about you?"
Ethan frowned slightly. "If I finalize the plan with you, won't Lori have an opinion about me?"
"Ethan, you don't understand. Elbert came to my house for the first time and somehow managed to fool Alan with some rhetoric. Alan let Lori be in charge of new product sales, actually relying on Elbert. If you help me complete the sales, and Elbert achieves nothing, his abilities will be completely exposed. Then he will no longer be valued by Alan, and you'll have more opportunities to get close to Lori," Rex said coldly.
"I see." Ethan suddenly looked up. "No wonder that guy kept questioning Paul, he was actually scared." Ethan, who had been intimidated by Elbert's aura, suddenly understood. He thought Elbert had some dirt on him. He turned out to be just a jealous loser.
The three returned to the pavilion. They had already put on a composed smile.
"Elbert, I was rude just now." Aldrich smiled. "You are the benefactor of the Brown Family, and you drive for the Brown Family. As descendants of the Brown Family's family friends, we must respect you and treat you with courtesy."
This statement, without giving anything away, emphasized Elbert's lower status and highlighted his own noble family background. Moreover, it seemed like an apology.
"The courtesy of a few spoiled brats, I can do without." Elbert smiled indifferently.
"You..." Aldrich trembled with anger again.
"Sir, I just received a call saying Miss Clark has suddenly visited." Jesse, standing beside Mr. Brown, bowed and said.
"Which Miss Clark?" Mr. Brown tilted his head and asked, clearly not expecting this visitor.
"Melissa Clark, daughter of Aaron Clark from Celestria City." As soon as Jesse spoke, Alan's eyes widened. Everyone present was also stunned.
Aaron Clark was a well-known figure in Veridiania. He was a senior official and the Minister of Finance of Veridiania, a person who controlled the national finances. His mere footsteps could shake Veridiania. Aaron had three remarkable children.
His eldest son, Gabriel Clark, shone in the political world, already serving as a mayor at the age of 36. He was one of the 11 youngest city officials in Veridiania, with limitless potential. His second son, Maxim Clark, was a renowned scientist overseas. Six years ago, he developed a solar photovoltaic technology patent, and now his company, EnergyTech Group, is one of the Fortune 500 companies. Aaron's third child was the 'most beautiful genius,' Melissa Clark.
Melissa Clark had been smart and talented since childhood, excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She was also cute, well-behaved, and deeply loved by Aaron. Compared to her two brothers, Melissa preferred to stay out of the spotlight. After graduation, she came to Wavehaven alone and started an antique business. It was rumored that with her unique insight, in just a few years, the value of her antique collection had become astronomical.
A senior official father with three children excelling in different fields, the Clark family of Celestria City was formidable in both politics and business. They were well-known and respected by all. In terms of power comparison, the Clark family of Celestria City could easily had swallowed ten Brown Families.
"Jesse, are you sure Miss Clark is here?" Mr. Brown asked excitedly.
"Sir, Miss Clark said that General Jeffery and Chief Leonard, who will be arriving later, are close friends of her father. But because Mr. Clark couldn't leave Celestria City, he specifically arranged for Miss Clark to come and visit the two elders and you, sir."
"I see." Mr. Brown nodded woodenly.
As they spoke, a very low-profile Audi drove into the Brown Family estate. Mr. Brown, who had remained composed no matter who arrived, suddenly tensed up. He stood up directly and went to greet them.
