Lauren adjusted Harrison’s tie as she said, “I’m going to the finance department now. You go ahead


    and meet Mr. Yates!”


    Harrison double-checked his appearance before returning to his


    office with the secretary.


    “Apologies for the intrusion, Mr. Harrison. Please don’t take it personally!”


    Andi Yates, a man in his 40s, smiled as he got to his feet and walked forth to shake Harrison’s hand.


    He was wearing a well-pressed suit and was clean-shaven. His hair had beenbed into a neat


    hairstyle. He was a walking example of


    what a sessful man should look like.


    “I didn’t know you’d drop by today, Mr. Yates. My apologies that I was not here to greet you!”


    Harrison used his left hand to shake Andi’s hand while using his right


    to beckon him to sit. “Please take a seat, Mr. Yates!”


    Then, he turned to the secretary and said, “Ruby, bring us my


    treasured collection of Earl Grey tea!”


    As the two settled on the couch, Andi ced the tea, cigars, and wine


    he had brought along on the coffee table. “These are some simple gifts I’ve prepared for you, Mr.


    Harrison. I hope you’ll enjoy them!”


    Harrison chuckled. “You’re too kind, Mr. Yates. It’s enough that you’re here. You didn’t need to prepare


    any gifts!”


    Aged wine from Tuscany, Davidoff cigars, and rooibos tea from 1963. These items cost roughly two


    million dors in total, and though not ridiculously expensive, they were not particrly cheap either.


    Such gifts were perfect for a first-time meeting.


    Andi looked around the office and smiled as he said, “Baroque Group is doing better by the day, but


    your office remains as simple as ever, Mr. Harrison. That’s a rare sight to behold!”


    Harrison chuckled. “You’re too kind, Mr. Yates. I just prefer having a calmer office because they say


    tranquility yields transcendence!”


    The secretary brewed tea while they exchanged pleasantries.


    Harrison poured Andi a cup of tea and then smiled while saying, “One does not drop by unannounced


    without reason, Mr. Yates. I wonder why you’re here to see me today?”


    He motioned for Andi to take the cup after he filled it.


    Andi did not bother with formalities and sipped on the tea as he smiled sadly. He said, “I won’t bother


    beating about the bush anymore. I have a nephew who has just graduated from universi and he’s


    founded a smartphonepany with a few of his friend


    “That young, impetuous man wants to produce high-end phones despite just starting out, and they’re


    interested in using 7nm chips. However, they don’t have ess to any suppliers, and I heard that


    Baroque Group has a photolithography machine for 7nm chips.”


    Harrison paused halfway in bringing the cup to his lips.


    Could things really be this wonderful?


    The other twopanies had monopolized the market for 7nm chips, and Baroque Group had not yet


    found any clients because their skills


    were not mature enough.


    They had just been worrying about this, and a client had arrived at


    their front doors.


    Harrison put his cup down and smiled as he said, “It’s good that the youngsters are full of drive.


    Technology is advancing at a rapid pace today, and smart technology is taking the world by storm now.


    “Only high-end phones will be able to withstand the challenges the market throws their way… The


    world is going to belong to the younger generation soon!”


    Andiughed. “You’re right, Mr. Harrison… We went through the same thing during our times!”


    Harrison asked, “May I know howrge your nephew’spany is and roughly what their demand


    would be, Mr. Yates?”


    Andi smiled knowingly. “Don’t worry, Mr. Harrison. I’ve invest


    two billion dors in theirpany and will continue to mak


    investments if things go smoothly for them. Baroque Group the onlypany supplying them with the


    chips!”


    early


    Mar


    Excitement washed over Harrison, but he arranged his features in calm expression. He merely smiled


    slightly as he said, “In that ca why don’t we arrange to have a meal with your nephew soon?”


    After all, Andi was merely the middle-man here. If Harrison wanted to discuss business matters, he had


    to speak to Andi’s nephew.


    “Sure thing. I’ll have everything arranged!”


    Andiughed. “If you could spare me one of your business cards, I’ll have my nephew contact you


    directly, Mr. Harrison!”


    The secretary retrieved a business card from Harrison’s desk and held it in both hands as she handed


    it to Andi. She said in a soft voice, “Here’s Mr. Harrison’s business card, Mr. Yates!”


    Andi took the business card and nced at the clock before he got to his feet. “It’s gettingte, and I


    still have some business to take care of at work. I won’t keep you from your work any longer, Mr.


    Harrison. We’ll meet again soon!”


    “Alright, I’ll walk you to the door!”


    Harrison walked alongside Andi to the elevators.


    Andi patted Harrison on the shoulder and smiled as he said, “No need


    to apany me any farther, Mr. Harrison. I’ll head downstairs. myself!”


    “Alright. Goodbye, Mr. Yates!”


    Harrison pressed the button that would make the elevator doors


    close.


    The elevator doors closed slowly.


    Harrison was in an excellent mood. He sped his hands behind his


    back and hummed under his breath as he walked toward the finance


    department to share the wonderful news with Lauren.


    Yet, he had only taken a few steps before he received another phone


    call.


    “Mr. Harrison… A man iming to be the heir of the Kennedys wants
