Charlie drove the car to the administrative building of Aurous Hill University of
Finance and Economics, and according to the room number told by the
security guard, came to the door of the office of the deputy dean of the School
of Economics and Management.
After hesitating for a moment, Charlie knocked on the door.
After three beeps, Pollard’s voice came from inside: “Please come in!”
Charlie pushed the door in and saw Pollard wearing a decent suit, now
wearing glasses and sitting at his desk reading information.
After a few seconds, he put down the file in his hand and looked up at
Charlie, a little startled.
Immediately, he asked in surprise, “Charlie? Why did you come here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing his surprised look, Charlie knew that he had not connected himself with the identity of the chairman
of the Emgrand Group.
So, he smiled slightly and said seriously: “Hello Professor Watt, I asked Doris to make an appointment with you on
my behalf.”
“Ah?!” Pollard stood up suddenly, and said in shock, “You…are the chairman of the Emgrand Group?!”
Charlie nodded and said frankly: “Yes, Professor Watt, I am indeed the chairman of the Emgrand Group.”
“My God…” Pollard couldn’t help but exclaimed: “When I ran with your Meiqing yesterday, she told me that you are
a Feng Shui… That’s good, the group The chairman’s identity seems to be a bit bad…”
Charlie smiled and said: “The so-called Feng Shui is just a rumor among some friends in Aurous Hill. I have
studied a little Feng Shui, but the overall business is relatively business and it’s not enough.”
As he said, he explained: “As for the identity of the chairman of the Emgrand Group, I also hope that Professor
Watt can help me keep it secret. Even my wife and my father-in-law don’t know my identity. Don’t tell others,
especially Aunt Meiqing.”
Pollard couldn’t help asking: “I’m not sure about one thing. With such a big identity, how did you hide it from
your wife and your father-in-law? Did they know nothing about the whole process of establishing the Emgrand
Group?”
Charlie explained: “Even though the Emgrand Group is mine now, it was not founded by me. The Emgrand Group
has been established for nearly 10 years, and I only took over it last summer. As for the family, it is mainly
because of some individuals. The reason is not convenient to tell them for the time being.”
Pollard was silent for a moment, nodded lightly, and said, “Okay, I promise
you not to tell anyone else about this, but I am not sure, what is your
purpose for looking for me today?
Charlie said seriously: “Ocean shipping has been gaining momentum
recently. I personally want to invest in this business, but I have been

With that, Charlie looked at Pollard and continued: “Doris introduced you to
me, saying that you are very capable and respected by her, so I want to
ask, Professor Watt, are you interested in following me for cooperation.”
After hearing this, Pollard shook his head slightly, and said sincerely: “I’m sorry,
Mr. Wade, since the day I went to teach at MIT, I have decided to give up this
work.”
Charlie didn’t expect that Pollard directly rejected him as soon as he came up,
so he asked: “Professor Watt if it is about money, everything is actually easy to
talk about. You just have to say the number and you will be accommodated.”
Pollard shook his head and said, “No, it’s not a question of money. It’s my
personal decision. I have worked in several Fortune 500 companies for 20
years. I have been racking my brains for the past 20 years to think about
how to help companies earn money. More profit, which makes me feel
particularly meaningless, so I decided to teach and use another way to prove
my value.”
