Joseph was so scared that he craned his neck and said, "Dad, Dad, isn't your dream too unrealistic?
What kind of man Charles is? He is so shrewd and outstanding. How can his reputation be ruined? The
reason why I don't let you wake up is that I'm afraid that your reputation will be ruined as soon as you
did. You can't even protect yourself. How can you ruin Charles' reputation? Is your brain really broken?
Is there still water in it?"
Back then, Joseph used to hate Charles. But now, he was afraid of him.
Even Derrick couldn't easily change that.
As Charles was decisive and resolute, Joseph knew very well how capable he was. But he couldn't be
that kind of man forever.
Therefore, he wanted to rely on Derrick and Frederic to manage the TS Group. He never thought that
Charles' reputation would be ruined one day.
His father's words were ridiculous.
With gritted teeth, Derrick kicked him again. "You idiot! How can you say that I'm an idiot? I think you're
the idiot! Don't I want to wake up earlier? But can I wake up in the current situation? Once I wake up, I
will be over. I will become a piece of meat to be slaughtered." Derrick sighed. "So, my son, you have to
get the control on the TS Group as soon as possible. I think your grandfather doesn't have much time
left. When he dies, you can completely take over the company. When that happens, you can do
whatever you want. As your father, of course I will be powerful too, and Charles wouldn't dare to do
anything to me."
Slowly, Joseph blinked a few times and asked, "Dad, are you waiting for my grandpa to die? If my
grandfather can't die for a year or so, you will lie in bed for a year or so, won't you? Do you think you
can stay in bed that long? What if... If there are bedsores on your back, can you bear the pain? I'm
afraid that if that happens, you'll be in a lot of pain and groan every day. At that time, you can't even
pretend to be dead!"
"You bastard! You are here to take care of me. How can you watch me suffer from bedsores? Besides,
won't I turn over? Can't you help me wipe my body? Joseph, look at you. You are incompetent and lazy.
How can you be so useless?" Just by thinking about it, Derrick got angrier.
"You underestimated me again. I'm stronger than you think. I held a board meeting today, and those
shareholders showed full respect to me. I memorized every word you said to me and told them. Guess
what? Ah, what I saw in their small eyes was all admiration. Dad, I didn't expect that you are good at
managing a company!" A complacent smile appeared on Joseph's face.
"You'd better study hard." All of a sudden, his brows furrowed when he thought of something. "Joseph,
majority of the company's employees are all Charles' men. If you want to have a firm foothold, you
have to start from the closest person of Charles, and then expand and eliminate them bit by bit. Step by
step, you will make his power in the company collapse, and then support your own men to get the
position. Even if Charles is capable, it's more difficult for him to go back!"
Like a proud son, Joseph gave him a thumb's up. "Sure enough, dad, you are really something."
Derrick snorted with disdain, "If you're not shrewd or ruthless, how can you grab the food from
Charles's mouth?"
"Yes, dad is right!" Because Joseph didn't have the ability, he had to listen to Derrick now.
As a matter of fact, Derrick was indeed a talented man, and Frederic was well aware of that.
However, his fatal weakness was his conceit and evil mind.
Meanwhile, Charles had predicted early that Joseph would hold a general shareholder's meeting on his
first day in the office.
When Derrick said that Charles had a lot of men in the company, he was right. That was why someone
immediately sent him a video of Joseph's meeting as it happened.
At first, Charles was scornful about it. He knew Joseph very well. He was a spoiled kid, and he was
good at playing with women, but in a board meeting; he might not be able to say anything.
However, as Joseph talked more and more, Charles' face gradually became serious.
He lit a cigarette and squinted at Joseph in the video.
Indeed, it was Joseph. But his serious posture made people feel uncomfortable.
What was wrong?
Speech? Expression?
No. Joseph had a clear idea of the future development of the TS Group, which was even similar to
Charles'.
How could Joseph think of it?
How could he know so much about TS Group?
"Charles, is this Joseph?" Just like him, Jay was also watching the video.
Needless to say, he was also shocked with Joseph's performance.
He had thought that Joseph would be kicked out by the board of directors in a few minutes.
However, he didn't.
If he was not mistaken, Jay even saw admiration in the eyes of the shareholders, which was beyond
his expectation.
After taking a drag on his cigarette, Charles slowly puffed out a cloud of white mist and asked, "Did my
grandfather teach him this?"
"Is your grandfather determined to give the TS Group to Joseph? But your grandfather should be
aware of Joseph's personality. He could control himself in front of the shareholders for a while, but what
should he do in the future? After your grandfather passes away, Joseph will be unable to lead the TS
Group, won't he?" Worry was evident in his eyes.
To be honest, he couldn't understand what Frederic was doing now. He had been wise all his life, so
how could he suddenly be stupid? Was he going to let the TS Group be destroyed by Joseph?
"Well... Let's wait. Grandpa's attitude is forcing me to come back to the TS Group. I don't think he will
really let Joseph manage the group from now on." It seemed that things were not going in the direction
he had expected, which made Charles confused.
"What if Joseph really manages the TS Group well?" With a confused look, Jay paused for a few
seconds. "As soon as he came in the office today, the stock of TS Group bounced back."
After thinking for a while, Charles replied, "I've seen it too, but it's very strange. I can't figure out
Joseph's real strength for the time being. And it's hard to tell if there's anyone behind him."
"Well, if you need me to do anything, just tell me. Doris is very obedient recently." As Jay spoke, he
turned around and took a look at Doris, who was eating fruit.
Glancing at him mischievously, Doris said, "Don't mention me!"
Shrugging, Jay only smiled.
"Keep an eye on this matter for me. I'll observe what's going on with Joseph." It could be said based on
his tone that he was determined to know what was really going on.
"Okay," replied Jay.
