The shareholders took turns ttering Gregory. He couldn''t help but beam with pride. Who would''ve thought his reputation had be so impressive that folks from Club 257 wereing to him by name? Just then, his secretary called again, her voice even more urgent than before. "Mr. Gregory, Stonnell International is on the line, and they want to coborate with us!"


    "What?!" Gregory was so shocked he nearly dropped his phone. Stonnell International wanted to work with them too? What was going on today? Why were all these big shotsing to him? "Quick, transfer the call!"


    The secretary hurriedly connected the call. "Is this Mr. Gregory?" A somewhat cold male voice came through the line.


    Gregory tried to keep his tone calm. "Speaking."


    "Is Gale Corporation working on a simtion robot program?"


    Gregory''s heart raced. Could it be that Stonnell International, like Club 257, was interested in this project? "We are indeed developing in that direction. Is Stonnell International... also interested in this proposal?"


    "Our Mr. Connor isn''t interested in the proposal itself, but he''s willing to invest seven hundred million as a favor to you, Mr. Gregory," the man said. "When are you avable? We''d like to visit and discuss further details."


    As a favor to him... Gregory was genuinely ttered. The shareholders, who had been listening in, looked at him with a mix of awe and confusion.


    They had been with Gregory for so long, but they never realized he was so well-connected. Both Stonnell International and Club 257 hade to him. He was really on the rise!


    "How about tomorrow morning at ten?" Gregory suggested, hesitating just a bit. He had already nned to meet with Club 257 at that time. If Stonnell International''s people came over too, they''d see how in- demand the simtion robot program was.


    Both Stonnell International and Club 257 were big yers in Maple Grove. Seeing both parties at once would highlight the program''s value. Maybe the twopanies would feel a sense ofpetition and urgency, leading them to invest more.


    "Then tomorrow morning at ten it is."


    The caller agreed curtly and hung up.


    "Mr. Gregory, when did you get to know people from Stonnell International?" One of the shareholders couldn''t contain their curiosity.


    "I''ve had one or two interactions with Stonnell International. I didn''t expect them to reach out to me proactively," Gregory replied diplomatically. He had indeed contacted Stonnell International before, but he hadn''t even managed to meet their executives.


    "This just shows, Mr. Gregory, that you''re a genius. Even with just a couple of interactions, Stonnell International recognized your unparalleled business talent!"


    The shareholders praised Gregory so much he almost lost hisposure.


    "Is Aisha back yet?" Gregory asked.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    At the mention of Aisha, the shareholders'' expressions turned disdainful. "She went out early this morning, probably begging someone to invest in her project. How could shepare to you, Mr. Gregory, who knows people from both Club 257 and Stonnell International?"


    "Call Aisha back, then announce a shareholders'' meeting."


    With representatives from both Club 257 and Stonnell International visiting tomorrow, they needed to hold a shareholders'' meeting first to discuss the hospitality arrangements. Plus, it was probably time to change the person in charge of the simtion robot project...


    The shareholders were quickly gathered, including Aisha, who had been called back. Gregory briefly exined the potential coborations with Stonnell International and Club 257, leaving the shareholders astounded.
