Mr. Quinn and Mr. Lewis chatted about calligraphy and painting for a while before Mr. Quinn asked Mr. Lewis how things were going for him.
Mr. Quinn’s face was full of concern, but Mr. Lewis was all smiles.
“Everything’s fine. My daughter-in-law is quite capable, and the two little ones can also help with some minor affairs. So far, it’s been passable.”
Since Mr. Quinn had long retired like Mr. Lewis and didn’t use WhatsApp, he was not aware of the sensational gossip in WhatsApp Status and group chats about Richelle and her children’s impressive achievements at the Lewis Group. Hearing Mr. Lewis say this, Mr. Quinn was a bit surprised.
“Just passable? Your daughter-in-law, if I remember correctly, is a designer, right? Can she handle the work of the Lewis Group?”
They say different professions can be worlds apart, and Richelle’s field as a designer was a far cry from corporate management.
“Old Quinn, do you remember who my daughter-in-law’s father is?”
Mr. Quinn was a little baffled.
“What has that got to do with whose child she is?”
Mr. Lewis clicked his tongue, “Richelle’s father is Zachary Dunn. You remember him, don’t you? How he created such a sensation back then and you’ve forgotten it all?”
Mr. Quinn sighed, “I haven’t forgotten. When Zachary Dunn had an accident, you and I even jointly sent wreaths and elegiac couplets. How could I forget?” If Zachary Dunn were still alive, he would be in his fifties, a junior to Mr. Quinn and Mr. Lewis.
But back then, Zachary Dunn was hailed as a once-in-a-century business genius in the Federation. It was a pity that he had died in a car accident at a young age, leaving behind a wife and a young daughter.
At that time, not just Mr. Quinn and Mr. Lewis, but many old-timers from well-known families sent funeral wreaths and elegiac couplets to express their grief for Zachary Dunn and his wife.
“It’s been over 20 years since then…”
Mr. Quinn couldn’t help but get emotional when they brought it up.
“Yeah, my eldest has also been gone for over 20 years. It’s such a pity…”
What a pity it is that their dear, sensible child, as well as their eldest son and daughter-in-law, couldn’t see them now!
“Mr. Lewis, I heard that there have been many actions from the Lilliputs and the Thompsons recently. How about I lend you a hand?”
It wasn’t until Mr. Quinn brought up this topic that they got down to business.
Mr. Quinn knew that Mr. Lewis was stubborn about maintaining face, so he had mentioned it once over the phone but, still uneasy, had insisted on having a face-to-face meeting.
However, Mr. Lewis waved his hand, “Old Quinn, I’m really not being polite with you. You don’t have to interfere. Although Roy is not around, he has fostered many people over the years. With some careful planning at this time, it should be more than enough.”
Hearing Mr. Lewis speak so calmly about Roy, Mr. Quinn looked even more worried.
“Mr. Lewis, the Lilliputs and the Thompsons are not easy to deal with.”
Mr. Lewis nodded, “Hmm, I have Nathan and that young man from the Greens on my side, don’t I? I appreciate your offer, but you’d better not get involved. If it really comes to a point where I need assistance, I’ll ask.”
Unable to reveal that his grandson was recovering in the hospital to anyone, Mr. Lewis tried his best to prevent his old partner from making any rash decisions on his behalf.
Seeing Mr. Lewis’s continuous refusal, Mr. Quinn couldn’t say more and had no choice but to share some information he had gathered recently with Mr. Lewis. On one side, the two old men were discussing the current situation.
Meanwhile, in the Lewis Group office, Richelle led her two children and Nathan Caroule in a regular meeting with the senior executives.
The senior executives of the Lewis Group were originally very proud individuals.
However, in just a few days, these executives had come to admire the acting CEO and the two young masters’ capabilities.
Of course, compared to Roy Lewis, the mother and children were no match.
But considering their achievements during these few days, the learning and growth of this mother and her two children were progressing at rocket speed. What was even more commendable was that this mother and her two children consistently discovered their shortcomings from an angle they had never attempted before. Though they were not major issues, after corrections were made, each of them saw significant improvements.
So, after just a few days, both the senior executives and the employees were discussing amongst themselves.
“The potential of our two young Mr. Lewises is truly boundless.”
“Yes, in the future, our Lewis Group might even become the world’s number one company.”
“Oh, just thinking about it excites me. I wonder if we’ll still be at the Lewis Group when that time comes.”
“Then work harder. The Lewis Group never keeps useless people. If you are capable, why worry about not being around when the two young Mr. Lewises become little Mr. Lewis?”
An older executive couldn’t help but sigh.
“More than a decade ago, when Master Lewis was still Mr. Lewis, I marveled at how strong the Lewis family’s genes were. While other families’ young men were causing havoc in school, our Mr. Lewis was already negotiating and collaborating with the chairman, and his style was quite forceful.”
“I never thought that more than a decade later, these young masters would be even more formidable, as if they were the epitome of genetic superiority. At their age, most kids might still be wearing diapers, but our young Mr. Lewis can already make decisions for billion-dollar deals!”
A beautiful married woman sitting nearby, who was waiting to get pregnant, chimed in enviously.
“It’s true, they are amazing. If my future child has even one-tenth of those young Mr.. Lewises’ wisdom and abilities, I’d be content!”
