Chapter 506 - The emergency meeting (2) (1/2)

Mr. Long has a lot of things to say to his son and the whole journey to the office was filled with the nag. Jeremy, on the other hand, did not speak at all.

He knew better than to reply to his father.

The driver kept quiet, focussing on his driving even though he felt sorry for the young master.

They finally reached the tall building and the driver quickly opened the door for Mr. Long. He was about to open the door for the Young Master but the security was faster than him and already opened it for Jeremy.

Jeremy waited for his father and walked slightly one step behind his father. Both Jacob and his father's secretary quickly greeted them and walked with them to the elevator. Jacob, being the youngest in seniority and in age quickly pushed the buŧŧon for the elevator.

The secretary for his father said something but Jeremy ignored it. His focus was on his phone, thinking his girlfriend would at least send him another message. But to his disappointment, she did not send him anything more.

They reached the meeting room and stopped in front of the door. Instead of going in, Mr. Long signaled everyone to stop and waited. He wanted to know what everyone in the room was thinking and talking about.

”I don't understand why we have to have this meeting. The lad... I don't see anything wrong with him replacing his father,” one of the shareholders said. He was a man who was with Jeremy's grandfather when his grandfather was still a chairman. And this man actually gave a lot of support even when Jeremy just came to help his father when his father went on his second honeymoon at that time (the one with no ending date).

Of course, Jeremy noticed some of the shareholders were dissatisfied when he came and being his typical serious and no-nonsense man. He refused to be bullied by these older men and of course, in order to put everyone in their place, he has to show his authority.

The other person said something. And it was clear those words made his father angry. Jeremy watched as his father's face darkened. But Mr. Long still did not make a move to get into the room.

Jeremy pursed his lips thoughtfully. It seemed like his father has a lot of patience. If it was him alone, Jeremy would not waste so much time just to listen to their talk. He would rather finish this once and for all.

He would not waste time like this.

Jacob quickly opened the door and announced the arrival of Jeremy and his father. Every pair of eyes looked at the father-son duo and quickly stood up. Even the ones who were behind the meeting stood up respectfully.

Mr. Long took his seat as the chairman while Jeremy sat on his right side.

”All of you are aware why we're having this meeting?” Mr. Long asked after he greeted everyone. Just like his son, he did not make small talk to ease the tension. He was too angry to care what they felt about this meeting. His eyes were actually at the perpetrator and the man quickly lowered his head nervously.

Everyone looked at the same man. Of course, those who found this meeting ridiculous but still had to attend it gave a ridiculous look at the man while those who supported him hid a smile of anticipation.

Jeremy, upon seeing those men, just smirked.

This was going to be interesting.

”Stuart, you can start,” Mr. Long ordered as he accepted a file from his secretary. He flipped it quickly but did not give any comment upon it nor putting down his signature. Instead, after he read the file, he handed the file to his son, Jeremy.

Jeremy read it while waiting for the man to start his 'speech'. He read it quickly and it did not take too long for him to notice the mistake in the figures. He used his pen to make circles at the numbers and even a huge question mark at the conclusion.  He handed the file to the secretary before gestured for Jacob to come closer. He whispered something to his ȧssistant.

Even after he was done talking with Jacob, that Stuart still did not say a word. Jeremy ċȯċked an eyebrow.

|Are we here for a meeting or a session of staring at each other?” he asked sarcastically.

Stuart gulped. He actually did not expect for both the Long to come. He thought only Jeremy would come to the meeting as it seemed that the elder Long preferred to enjoy his retirement too early.

”Sorry, we're late,” Mika said loudly as she helped her grandmother into the room. Mrs. Long was following behind.

Stuart's eyes widened especially when he saw the Dowager. What had he done?
