Chapter 226: Unreliable

Sitting behind a desk that was located next to a floor of ceiling glass window was a middle-aged man who raised his head from a pile of documents, to gaze at the two people that had arrived inside his office.

This man had shiny black hair that was combed backwards, gray eyes that looked deep, with well trimmed beards. He possessed quite a huge body frame, with an aura that exhibited power and authority.

The moment that he sported Jaden, he was surprised. Then, he suddenly stood up from his chair, as he came towards Jaden from behind the desk.

There was a wide smile on his face as he approached Jaden, with his hand stretched towards Jaden.

"It is nice to see you Mr. Moore. It is good to finally see you in person." The man stated as he shook hands with Jaden.

Then, with an awkward expression on his face, he cleared his throat and said, "Forgive my manners. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Sibi. I am the current CEO of the Nightstar Security company."

"It is nice to make an acquaintance with you." Jaden responded, as the two of them stopped shaking hands.

"Please have a seat." Matthew stated as he pointed towards the chair behind the desk.

"There is no need for that. I'll just sit on the couch here." Jaden responded. He did not feel comfortable sitting behind that desk. All of his life, he had never sat in such a position.

Nonetheless, he understood that he would have to get used to that. After all, if the system awarded him another chance of acquiring shares, he would not just continue having the chance, and not claiming the shares, right?

As he was thinking of that, Jaden sat on the couch that was not that far away from the location of the desk. Matthew went ahead and sat opposite from Jaden on another couch, that was separated by a coffee table in between them.

"I do believe that you already know the reason why I am here." Jaden stated after a moment of silence.

"Oh, yes. Just give me a moment." Matthew responded as he got onto his feet. Then, he went to his desk, opened a drawer, before retrieving a stack of neatly arranged documents. Then, he came back and handed them to Jaden.

Jaden received the documents and began going through them. Matthew did not say anything as he watched as Jaden went through the documents.

Jaden skimmed through the documents. There were a lot of things in these documents, impossible for him to read in a short period of time even with his current reading speed.

He basically skimmed through them, without paying much attention to the details, while mainly focusing on the highlighted points.

He would have to read this thing later on after he got back. But for now, he was surprised by the signature used to sign the documents. The signature was his, exactly.

Jaden was once again awed by the ability that the system possessed. But despite that, he put aside the documents as he looked at Matthew.

Upon noticing that Jaden was no longer focused on the documents, Matthew spoke up, "We completed everything that had to be dealt with, and so, you can take the documents with you."

Jaden nodded in response without saying a word. And as he was about to say what had brought him here, Matthew beat him to it.

"Mr. Moore, when should I arrange a meeting with the other shareholders so that you can get to know each other?" Matthew asked.

Ever since Jaden had taken over 51% shares of the company, this was the first time that he was making an appearance. Even the documents for the share transfer agreement had been sent to him, before they were brought back with his signature.

But, the documents came back together with a passport size photo of Jaden. That was how the receptionist and Matthew had been able to recognize him.

Nonetheless, Matthew was surprised at how young Jaden was. Even though he had seen it before in image, seeing him personally had a different feeling.

Matthew was worried and anxious at the same time. He did not know the reason why Jaden had acquired the shares of the company, and what were his future plans. That was what made him anxious, in case Jaden had plans that would hinder the development of the company.

The thing that made him worried was the position that he held. He was not sure if he was going to be able to maintain this position with Jaden taking over the position of the chairman of the company.

Every emperor has their own courtiers. So, it would not be strange if Jaden decided to change the layout of the management of the company.

He had that power. As the biggest shareholder, he had every right to make that decision. As for the other shareholders, most of them could be ignored. Sёarch* The NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Among them, the one with the largest share only had 9%. And even if they pooled together all their shares, it would only add up to 49%, not able to shake Jaden's position at all.

The gap that existed between the first and the second shareholders was something that game Jaden enormous power over the company.

"There's no need for that, at least for the time being. I'm not ready to get involved with the issues concerning company management and so on for the time being. So, you can continue handling things the way you used to." Jaden responded as he waved his hand.

He was obviously not interested in managing this company at all. Additionally , he did not have the skills to make the right decisions involving bigger matters of the company. So, it was better for him to leave these things to the experts.

There was a CEO that was in charge of the company. So, they could just do things like before.

Jaden had already investigated about this company before taking the shares. With his information added to the one that was provided by Steven, Jaden had a deep understanding of the company and how it operated.

According to him, other than the ignorable things, the company was running smoothly. So, there was no reason for him to change anything for the time being.

Matthew was relieved when he heard that. From what Jaden had said, it was clear that he did not want to get involved in the matters related to management.

With this, he could at least continue carrying out the plans that he had made for the company. All that he needed was Jaden's support.

It was not that he looked down upon Jaden. Instead, most of the times, most of the youngsters this days at the age of early twenties were quite reckless. So, he of course did not believe that Jaden had the ability to run a company like this.

More than that, he thought that perhaps the reason that Jaden had decided to buy the shares of this company was simply because he wanted to play.

Matthew had not investigated about Jaden at all, even though he was curious. He was worried that if he ended up offending Jaden by doing that, he would be in trouble.

But so far, from what Jaden had showed, it seemed that he was an easygoing person. Still, Matthew had to be careful before he fully understood Jaden.

"Okay. You will tell me when you are ready and I will make the arrangements for all the shareholders to gather." Matthew responded, despite the thoughts that were running in his mind.

"Other than this, there is something else that brought me here." Jaden stated, making Matthew nervous.

Could it be that Jaden had changed his mind about not getting involved with the management? Matthew looked at Jaden, as he nodded, waiting for him to speak.

Even though he was feeling nervous, he did not show it on his face at all. This was something that he had learnt after spending decades in the business world.

"It's like this. I need to withdraw from the company a certain sum of money. There is a project that I'm currently dealing with, but I'm a little short on funds." Jaden stated.

He was quite confident even in the face of a person like Clifford, not to mention Matthew. So, he did not look timid at all, as most of the youngsters would be.

Matthew was dumbfounded when he heard what Jaden had said. For a moment there, he thought that Jaden was joking around.

But looking at the serious expression on his face, it was clear that he was not messing around at all. He was actually serious about what he had said.

Matthew tried as hard as he could not to show much reaction, but it was almost impossible for him to do that. After all, this was a big matter on what Jaden had asked for.

'Just as I thought. This youngster is definitely not reliable. The first thing that he does after coming to the company for the first time is to ask for money.' Matthew thought in his mind, but dared not to say that out loud.

Jaden had already seen the shift I'm Matthew's expression, and was not surprised. That was to be expected considering the current situation that they were in.

Nonetheless, Jaden did not have the intention of backing down at all. Instead, he asked, "How much money can be retrieved from the company within two days?"

Jaden understood that even though the company was valued at $500 million, that did not imply that it had $500 million in it's account. So, he had to know how much liquid cash could be found within two days by the company. Enjoy new chapters from m-v l'-NovelFire.net
