Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1756

Two days later, a sleek sports car roared down the street, gliding to a smooth stop at the curb outside Grand Cathay Commerce Tower.

The car door swung open, and Jenson stepped out. After adjusting his clothes, he put on his sunglasses and locked the car behind him.

As he turned to head toward the building, a familiar license plate caught his eye, and soon Chandler appeared.

Jenson took a couple of steps forward and asked, "You're not here to see the Secretary of Commerce, are you?"

Chandler glanced at him but chose not to respond.

Jenson's gaze shifted to the grand building behind them, his brow furrowing as he muttered, "What's the real reason we were both called here?"

"There's no smoke without fire. Let's be cautious with our words when we get inside," Chandler advised, leading the way toward the entrance.

Before long, they found themselves in the office of the current Secretary of Commerce, Orson Cook.

Both parties sat across from each other, and Orson was visibly enthusiastic. "Meeting you two in person is even more impressive than the reputation that precedes you. You both are truly exceptional talents!"

"Mr. Chandler, your contributions to the national economy are nothing short of remarkable, and Jenson International Financial Corporation is on the brink of a successful IPO.

"At just 30 years old, you've already established yourselves as pillars of Grand Cathay's economy. The Newton family is indeed an extraordinary powerhouse of talent!"

"You flatter us," Jenson replied with an awkward smile, feeling slightly uncomfortable with the excessive praise.

"Mr. Cook, you're too kind. Our success today is largely due to Grand Cathay's policies, and contributing to the country is simply our responsibility. May I ask the purpose of today's meeting?" Chandler maintained a steady demeanor, carefully concealing his emotions.

"Ah, yes. I wanted to discuss the joint brand initiative with Yorga. The higher-ups have decided to offer significant support for this project, and Destiny Corporation is currently the frontrunner.

"Don't overthink it. This decision comes from higher up—consider it a reward for the researchers. Rest assured, they won't interfere with your decisions; they'll only be figureheads. While your shares may be diluted, you'll still retain your position as CEO.

"With official backing, expanding the company should be no problem. This is a significant opportunity for you," Orson explained, framing it as though Jenson were receiving a major advantage.

Jenson's lips twitched in frustration, struggling to force a smile.

"I built this company from scratch, and now you think you can just waltz in and start making decisions because of your investment? You can keep your so-called opportunity," he thought to himself.

Thankfully, Jenson was no longer the naive rookie people once underestimated; he had become skilled at formulating quick responses when the situation called for it.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Cook. However, decisions at the company are not solely mine to make. I'll discuss this with the team at our next meeting and get back to you with our decision."
