Chapter 579
Daniel was pleased with Linus' ability to handle significant responsibilities as he no longer needed to worry about the lack of capable successors. However, the overall performance of many newcomers in the organization was still lacking. Some of the older members had not shown outstanding abilities either. They were not even half as good as Linus.
The assistant comforted Daniel, “Sir, there's no need to worry. It's still early. With more training and experience, someone with unexpected talent might appear one day, perhaps even surpassing Linus!"
"You make it sound easy, but it's incredibly difficult. Not only is Linus fast in completing tasks, but he does them with exceptional quality. He's good at understanding and manipulating human nature, a quality that others simply can't replicate.
"Even after decades of experience, most people can't match half of what Linus is capable of. If we randomly pick someone from the organization to compete with Linus in manipulation, few would stand a chance against him.
"How many years do you think it'll take for these people to reach Linus' level?"
Supporting himself with a cane, Daniel's face bore the weight of the years gone by. It was impossible to recall the vigor of his youth.
"I've been wanting to retire a long time ago, but how can I do so with the lack of new talents in the organization? Why else would I still be here in this position if not for Linus being the only one I can rely on?"
Although Daniel's selfish desire was part of it, it was ultimately for the sake of the organization. Now that he was in his 70s, his monopolizing power was even causing dissatisfaction among his own sons.
"Forget it. You may leave now and summon the housekeeper. I want to rest."
"Yes, sir."
Matthew stared at the email from Ted, feeling perplexed. When he received the email yesterday, Kent told him they wanted a 50-50 split, but now they suddenly reverted back to a 70-30 split.
Not only that, but they requested a plot of land on West Side City as part of the exchange.
What were they up to? Matthew
could not understand what tricks Ted had up his sleeve. Since he
could not decipher it, perhaps inviting Ted for a face-to-face discussion would be better
"Kent, could you please check my schedule for tomorrow?"
"Sir, you have a meeting from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm tomorrow and nothing else afterward."
"Alright then. Please schedule a
meeting with Mr. Chorley tomorroet at five. I want to clarify the morroet
him face-to-face."
"Yes, sir."
Kent immediately went to carry out the instructions but was once again stopped by Matthew.
"Is there anything else, sir?"Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Is there a florist nearby? Help me buy a bouquet and have it delivered directly to my house tomorrow evening." Kent nodded with a knowing smile. “Certainly, sir."

Matthew opened up his phone's Notes app. He had written there that he was supposed to go to the mall with Lucy tomorrow. He had not spent quality time with Lucy in days, but he could not free himself with urgent work coming up, so he wanted to buy flowers as an apology.
He knew Lucy was easy to please, but he still felt guilty for not having time to accompany her because of his work.
In addition to sending flowers, he might have to personally apologize and make amends tomorrow.
