The Bodyguard System

Chapter 297 Samuel

"About that, I actually managed to gain the shares of this company some time back then when I was still back with you guys." Jaden said, but he did not explain how he had gotten the shares of such a large company.

Sylvia and Castro could not help but be amazed by Jaden's capability. Even though they did not understand how Jaden had managed to get something like this, but nonetheless, it was amazing to find that there was a young person like Jaden who owned a big company like this.

If Sylvia did not know about Jaden's background, something that she had found from Clifford, she would have believed that Jaden was actually from a bigger family in one of those first tier cities.

As for Castro, of course he would not believe something like that. He was from a big city, but it was almost impossible for his family to give him such a company to manage, unless he showed great capabilities in management. But, that was something that only those that were already in their early 30s or late 20s would mainly exhibit.

So, it was extremely difficult, nearly impossible to be able to find a young man that was only in their early twenties, being given a position within a company, not to mention being given an entire company to manage.

The Johnson family had a net worth of about $700 million. That was the time before they managed to destroy the Williams and the Browns, before getting everything that the two families had in possession.

For the time being, the net worth of the Johnson family had increased, reaching nearly a billion dollar. It would have been more than that if they had managed to recover everything from the two families, but the two families did not go down without a fight.

Since they were fighting using their full strength, the two families ended up losing a lot, before they were finally defeated. Even though they were facing a family that possessed connections with another family that was in a first tier city, they were unwilling to submit.

Nevertheless, even if they had decided to submit, it was clear that Clifford would not let them go. After all, they had gotten designs on his daughter, something that he would never accept. So of course, he would make sure that they paid the biggest price for the mistake of targeting his daughter, even if it was not directly.

Scarlet did not have anything to say upon hearing Jaden's response. Instead, she seemed to be lost, not sure about her emotions at this moment. She was not sure about the decisions that she had made, while she was also reflecting about the past, and the time that she had spent together with Jaden.

But the thing that was mostly dominating her mind at the moment was a big question about who Jaden really was. Was he just a bodyguard? What was the aim for him coming to the Johnson family?

If he intended to come the Johnson family, then why was it that there was nothing that had happened to the Johnson family? All along, he had been trying to protect her while being her bodyguard.

He had managed to teach her many things, something that made her change the way that she carried herself. Basically put, she could say that she had benefited a lot after being with Jaden even if it had been only for a few months.

Jaden did not pay attention to Scarlet and the others for the time being. Instead, he decided to focus on the CEO of his company.

The CEO of Dazzling Entertainment was known as Samuel. He possessed well trimmed beard, together with short blonde hair that was well kempt. He possessed striking blue eyes, and a medium physique.

Just by looking at him, one could be able to tell that he was quite capable. After all, the aura around him was quite domineering, something that was only possessed by those successful business people.

What was actually unbelievable was the fact that previously, Samuel was the biggest shareholder of this company. But somehow, he had been convinced by 'Jaden' and agreed to sell the shares to him. But he did not resign, instead, he decided to continue holding the highest position of the company, just below Jaden.

He wanted to see this company rising to the top. He felt that he did not have the capability of doing that, but perhaps Jaden did. He wanted to see the success of this company, and that was the reason why he decided to remain as a CEO of the company.

But at the end of it all, it would all depend on Jaden if he was going to retain him as the CEO of the company, or he would hire another person.

Previously, when Jaden had first composed his song, he directly sent it to Samuel through the email. It was Samuel who had made the necessary arrangements to find the best artist in the company to sing the song.

Even though it was the best artist in the company, it was only the best artist within the company that was capable of singing the song according to how it was supposed to be sang.

It would be impossible to look for a person who was very good at singing a certain category of songs, and expect them to perform like stars when trying another different category that they had never been in.

Even though Samuel had previously decided that he had to make sure that the song that Jaden had sent to him performed well, he had not expected that he was going to perform the way that it had.

Even though the song had received promotion and the support of the company, it was not enough to be able to boost a song to the top. After all, the performance of a song would always depend on the reception of the public.

"Mr. Moore, forgive me for not being here on time. I had not anticipated that you were going to come here today, so I was a little caught up with something regarding the next step to be taken by the company." Samuel said as he looked at Jaden.

Jaden noticed that many people were looking at him. It seemed that Samuel and his group of higher ups coming over had raised quite a commotion. So, several people were still coming to this floor, wondering what was actually going on here.

"Let's talk somewhere else." Jaden suggested.

"Sure. This way please." Samuel immediately agreed, before leading the way towards the elevator.

There was an elevator that was set aside for the higher ups to use. Only the CEO and the top managers of the company, together with the chairperson of the company could use this elevator.

It was not located in the same place as the other elevators, but instead, it was located in the hidden corner. This was just to prevent other people from trying to use it, even though to access it, one would need to scan their fingerprints first.

Samuel, Jaden, and the others that were considered as top management of the company all entered into the elevator, before they began going towards the top floor of the building.

Scarlet, Sylvia and Castro wanted to leave, but the person that was in charge of reviewing the songs immediately went after them. From the communication between Jaden and Scarlet, he understood that it seemed that there was some kind of connection between Jaden and this group of three.

Even though he did not understand the kind of relationship that existed between them, he could at least tell that it was not bad. After all, other than shock, it did not seem that there was any other kind of emotion that was exhibited by this group of three.

As for himself, he was feeling a little embarrassed. After all, he had just been trying to recruit his own boss into the company to work under him. Even though he understood that he was not to blame, considering that it was Jaden who did not state his identity first, but he felt a little awkward when it came to facing Jaden in the future.

But just in order to make sure that things would not be bad for himself, he decided that he was going to recruit Castro, even though he felt that Castro was not yet to the level that he wanted.

"Mr. Castro, what do you think about joining our composition department? You can start from the lowest level, and climb all the way to the top. What do you think?" The floor manager asked.

Even though he wanted to recruit Castro, it was not as if he could suddenly promote Castro to the top level of the composition department. He was just in charge of this particular floor, so it was not possible for him to promote Castro that easily.

He might hire him, but it would definitely cause dissatisfaction amongst the other composers in case he was suddenly promoted to be above them, yet his skills could not be compared to them.

Castro had initially wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, he felt that this was actually quite good. At least, even though he understood that it was due to Jaden that he was receiving this opportunity, which was a form of connection, at least, he was not going to the top immediately.

In any case, he believed that it would not be impossible for him to be able to get into the top level in this company, in just a matter of a few months. But now, it seemed that he will be able to learn from the other composers in the department, and improve faster. So, he immediately agreed.
