"What should we do about his birth registration? Has he already been registered under the Murphy family?" Annika asked me with a hint of concern.I thought for a moment, realizing that it was indeed a bit troublesome. Charlie's household registration must have ended up with Matthew. After all, Matthew finally had a son, and it was only natural for him to be proactive about the registration.The Reese family's main concern was his registration. Their precious grandchild was the apple of their eye, and they could not bear the thought of his registration being in someone else’s name. I knew exactly how the Reese family felt about this.Annika's bringing up this matter indicated that this was already a topic discussed within the Reese family.I hadn't thought about this before, and now it seemed a bit complicated. After all, I had returned the child to the Reese family without discussing it with Matthew, who was in prison. It wouldn't be easy to handle this situation.If Matthew fou

Ryan chuckled even more triumphantly. "The good news is that the Hartz Group in the capital received a massive development project, three times the size of Bourdamun."Upon hearing this, I was completely fixed in my chair. Three times the size? In the capital? This seemed a bit exaggerated, didn't it?"So, we need to go to the capital. Grayson has already made some preliminary arrangements. I just received the good news. It looks like it's time for Hartz Group and Tanum to merge," he said with enthusiasm.That got me lost in thought. When I initially registered Hartz Group, it was purely to win the divorce lawsuit against Matthew.In reality, the results had little impact, so I had completely overlooked the situation at Hartz Group in the capital.I had delegated management of Hartz Group to Grayson, and I had entrusted Ryan with many major decisions. Although Ryan would seek my final approval on major issues, they had already taken care of everything. After reporting it to me

When I arrived at the Huffman residence, Anson was sitting alone on a recliner in the backyard gazebo. He looked lonely.He immediately perked up when he saw me walk in. "Why are you here, Chlo? Aren't you busy?""I came to have lunch with you." I smiled, walking over and taking a seat across from him.He sat up and looked at me, smiling. "That's nice of you, Chlo.""I've been busy and I haven't had a chance to see you. I don't know how you've been feeling. I have to go to the capital tomorrow, so lunch is the best I can do." I reached over to pour him a cup of tea."Yeah, I know you're busy. I heard Bourdamun went smoothly." Anson looked at me, aware of my project in Bourdamun."Don't even talk about that. I almost didn't make it here to see you. But luckily, everything turned out okay." I sighed, taking a sip of tea."What happened?" he asked, sitting up straight and putting down his teacup."You know Bourdamun. There's always someone manipulating things behind the scenes. Th

I pondered momentarily before speaking. "I don't advocate for a merger, at least not at the moment.""Why not?" Atlas asked seriously.I shared my thoughts and reasons.He looked at me, nodding approvingly. He pulled me closer and kissed my forehead, exuding a sense of satisfaction."Great minds think alike. You're right. This isn’t the right time for a merger. While Tanum has opened up opportunities, it lacks successful cases to support Hartz Group. And the foundation behind Hartz Group won’t suit an alignment with Tanum. It needs to operate in a low-key way, so merging isn't the right move for now."His words made it clear that Hartz Group did have a foundation backed by Atlas. He must have injected many resources into it and used his connections discreetly."And the future doesn't necessarily require a merger. They can each flourish and complement each other's strengths and weaknesses and connect in a different way, for instance, through cooperation. Hartz Group can maintain i

Eleanor continued, "Tobshampton Group is no longer what it used to be, and Tanum is certainly not the same Tanum anymore. The current state of Tobshampton Group could tarnish Tanum's high-quality corporate image."I chuckled and said, "They clearly lost someone exceptional after you left. I’m not surprised they declined. It just proves my knack for recognizing talent. Their troubles today were caused by the pits they dug for themselves."Eleanor shook her head. "It's not just about me. The key is their management flaws. The company's situation is rapidly deteriorating and even the boss's wife is getting involved. From what I've gathered, there have been several quality issues recently, and their industry reputation is very poor."I knew Eleanor was downplaying it. Even a pig could figure out what issues the Tobshampton Group had faced after Eleanor left. I had confirmed this when I poached Eleanor. Eleanor had been in the market for many years. Her vision had matured, and when Tob
