Chapter 760: Chapter 756: Obedient Master Lewis
“I got it. I will reset the alarm to six o’clock.”
Roy Lewis sincerely promised, relieving Richelle Dunn’s worries a little.
“Remember you agreed to do this. I’m not forcing you.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Yes, you aren’t forcing me.”
The two said goodnight and disconnected the call.
After a while, Richelle Dunn received a screenshot from Roy Lewis on WhatsApp showing his alarm set for 6 o’clock.
…
The next morning, Richelle Dunn, upon waking up, had another message on WhatsApp from Roy Lewis, sent at six o’clock.
“Baby, good morning, I am up!”
A smile played at the corners of Richelle Dunn’s lips,
“Morning, I’m up too!”
The time she sent her message was seven o’clock in the morning.
After she sent her text, Roy Lewis didn’t reply. Apparently, he was already at work or on his way there.
Richelle Dunn didn’t know if this was part of Roy Lewis’s initial career plan but she did know he was the type to go all out once he decided to shoulder a responsibility.
So, even though she felt heartache for him, she never complained.
And Roy Lewis, understandably, knew about her worries, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so obedient.
At that time, Roy Lewis was on his way to another meeting in South Asia.
Since he had slept an hour more than the previous few days, he had to make the most of his time in the car, checking work details with Benjamin Fred.
“Master Lewis, the Minister of Commerce in South Asia is famously difficult. He is a master of laying traps. Be careful when negotiating with him.”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Okay, I have done some preparation in advance, I will be careful.”
Roy Lewis didn’t tell Benjamin Fred that the Minister of Commerce in South Asia was an old acquaintance of his.
Moreover, he was Roy Lewis’s senior disciple from the same martial arts school.
Later, the South Asian Commerce Ministry officials received Roy Lewis in the hotel ballroom.
“Mr. Lewis, I’ve heard a lot about you!”
The Minister of Commerce in South Asia was surnamed Gyons, named Charlie Gyons.
Yes, his name was Charlie Gyons.
After hearing about Royce Gyons from Richelle Dunn, Roy Lewis had deliberately done some research, and indeed, these two were brothers.
“Mr. Gyons, long time no see!”
Everyone around them was somewhat surprised.
Roy Lewis then explained directly,
“Mr. Gyons and I are martial brothers. Putting aside our official statuses today, I have to call Mr. Gyons elder brother.”
Upon hearing this, Charlie Gyons’s entourage immediately complimented,
“It turns out that Mr. Lewis and our Mr. Gyons both belong to the same martial arts school. Both of you are rarely seen talents. Amazing, amazing!”
Roy Lewis was open and candid, but Charlie Gyons seemed cold.
“I’m truly not worthy for Mr. Lewis to call me a brother. Back in the day, Mr. Lewis was the undisputed favorite disciple of our master.”
Charlie Gyons’s secretary, on hearing his master’s discordant words, quickly made peace.
Roy Lewis and Benjamin Fred were led to their assigned seats, and the staff was busy preparing for the meeting.
Benjamin Fred, pretending to continue checking documents with Roy Lewis, asked in a low voice,
“Master Lewis, do you have any personal grievances with Mr. Gyons?”
While carefully reviewing the materials, Roy Lewis whispered back,
“Just as he said. When our master asked him to assist me in completing a project, he flatly refused.”
Benjamin Fred frowned. The discussions to come seemed more challenging than expected.
Given the attitude Charlie Gyons just showed towards Roy Lewis, it seemed like new grudges and old resentments were all to be settled today.
Roy Lewis glanced at Benjamin Fred, “Relax, he couldn’t beat me then, and he can’t now!”
Upon hearing this, Benjamin Fred gave him a reassuring smile.
Kennedy Green suddenly collapsed, and Roy Lewis was appointed in a time of crisis.
Although this was already the best choice, Benjamin Fred still was very worried.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Roy Lewis’s capabilities, but after all, Roy Lewis excelled in the business field. In the political arena, he had always been a supporting role. Now he was the leader, and it was impossible not to worry.
But since Roy Lewis took office, apart from the first two or three days when the efficiency of work was slightly lower due to unfamiliarity with the business, there had been no mistakes.
Even during this visit, meeting with different kinds of people and facing many different difficult situations, Roy Lewis performed commendably.
It seemed that Benjamin Fred could really feel relieved.
The negotiation meeting quickly began in earnest, with the two sides engaged in a fierce verbal battle, completely unlike their initial cordiality and gentleness.
Roy Lewis and Charlie Gyons, as the top persons in charge of the negotiations, initially were just responsible for listening to their respective subordinates negotiating a list of issues.
As the discussions between the two sides heated up, Roy Lewis and Charlie Gyons took the lead.
Charlie Gyons was sharp, impassioned, and aggressive, listing a set of conditions, trying to take the initiative in the negotiations.
Roy Lewis, on the other hand, remained calm and unhurried. He didn’t rush to counter each of Charlie Gyons’s points. He carefully deconstructed each of Charlie Gyons’ points and refuted them one by one.
In the end, he listed the advantageous conditions for choosing his side, striving to gain the most favorable terms for himself in the negotiations.
