Chapter 139 - future collaborations

However, even with her declaration of their relationship, Liam neither blushed or act his usual reaction. He only kept his gentle smile as always. No one knew what's going on his mind as he let no opening of jealousy in his body language.

Since they were all businessmen, Liam's temperament was rather commendable. Because it's clear to them that Wren Tanaka was purposely misleading them to his relationship with Seraphina yet, there wasn't a change of Liam's expression.

By this time, other important guest fawned around Seraphina as they try to converse with her. Which she didn't reject and gladly chatter with them along with Wren and Mr. Tang.

Aside from the compliments towards her, they discussed some matters regarding each business -- making Liam stay silent. It's not that he didn't understand they're conversation. It just that it don't interest him at all. Yet, he stayed with Seraphina's side.

Seeing some important business tycoon's bootl_i_c_k_i_n_g Seraphina, George Yue on the distance smirks disdainfully.

"Ha, they were all currying favor to me months ago but now, those old foxes try to build a good connection with that brat!" he spats out. Few of his minions that were with him immediately agrees with him and boast George Yue's ego while belittling Seraphina.

"Director, that girl thinks too highly of herself!"

"Appointing that insignificant assistant as the president! Hmp! Who does she think she is?!"

"Those board of directors who sided with her were obviously displeased. Director, this is the right time to get them to our side!"

"This is the business world, this girl underestimate these people's facade! One wrong decision and everyone turns their backs on her! Haha!"

"I knew it! She really isn't deserving to be the new head of the company!"

"Director Yue, should we inform Chairman about this?"

"Don't. Let her play for a while. Before the chairman knew it, Seraphina will be kicked out of my company!" George Yue deluded. The words his minions' spats out really did satisfies him.

The old men that were brown-nosing to him were elated as well. Although the little respect Seraphina gained from them improved, her announcement just now vanishes their wavering hearts. Thus, they felt grateful that they sided with George Yue.

In the middle of Seraphina and the business men's conversation, a group of stately men approaches them. They bear the aura of modern imperial scholars in a suit. The man leading them immediately caught Seraphina's attention.

All the upper-class businessmen including Wren and Mr. Tang straighten their posture seeing the cl_u_s_ter of formal men approaching them. Probably it's an entrepreneur instinct, they also bear their respective aura.

As the group of scholars in a suit approaches Seraphina, they deeply bowed to her up to their waist. This only shows that they fully respect her. After the formality, Thomas Yang spoke.

"In regards of the Han Corporation, we congratulate Madam Yue for being the new head of the Yue International Enterprise. We are looking forward to our future collaborations." Thomas Yang sternly spoke. Seraphina arcs her brows, although she was quite surprised seeing Thomas Yang since she didn't invite him here. However, there wasn't much change with her expression and kept her welcoming tone.

"Mr. Yang, what a surprise!"

When the men she was conversing with heard the word 'Han Corporation', they were all stunned including Liam Jin. As they absorb Thomas Yang's words, their stunned expression turned to excitement. They could not help but wonder and express their compliments inwardly.

'I knew this new head is really something!'

'She didn't just gather some business personalities but the Han Corporation also wants to collaborate with them!'

'They came from the Han Corporation? Ha! Chairwoman Yue never fail to impress me!'

'They not just congratulate her but also showed their full respect to the girl! Just how capable this new chairwoman of Yue International?'

George Yue who was witnessing thus scene unfolding before him immediately ordered someone to eavesdrop. By the time the person who he ordered came back, his shocked expression made George Yue's corrupt heart tremble.

"Director Yue, those men came from the Han Corporation. They sent their congratulatory gift and said…" The person reporting the situation gulp a mouthful of saliva leaving George Yue hanging for a second.

"And said what?" his agitated tone startled his subordinate.

"They are looking forward to both company's future collaboration."
