Chapter 274 Another Identity
The venue was already crowded, and she couldn’t spot Zane anywhere.
Someone noticed Elijah in the corner and walked over. Elijah deliberately avoided socializing, which was why he had brought Freya to sit in the corner.
“I heard that you’ve left Headence Group. I suppose we can’t address you as the CEO anymore, right? What should we call you now? Elijah? Headence Group is in chaos right now. I also heard that Thorne has accumulated a huge debt, but it seems like the matter has been resolved. You must know whether it’s true or not, right?”
Elijah used to be the person everyone respected and feared in this circle. His methods in the business world were ruthless and unforgiving. But now, Elijah had left Headence Group. People felt that he was nothing anymore, which was why they dared to casually call him by his first name.
Thorne Silverton had made such a big mistake. The Silverton family was no longer what it used to be. They were no longer an untouchable family. Elijah raised his gaze coldly, his tone tinged with indifference and disdain. “If you’re interested, you should ask the person involved.”
“But you’re Thorne’s cousin, so I…”
“Mr Lee,”
At that moment, a man in a suit approached.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Mr Lee, who was speaking earlier, turned around and saw Mr Greyson from Heaven Entertainment. He immediately smiled and said, “Oh, Mr Greyson. You’re a big shot now, aren’t you? Your internet celebrities have already made you a fortune, haven’t they?”
Maddox Greyson smiled and replied, “Not bad.”
“Everyone knows that Heaven Entertainment is the pioneer of creating internet celebrities. With the internet so developed now, you’ve reaped the benefits. We don’t compete with you, because we can’t possibly surpass you. There’s no need for you to be so modest.” Lee’s words carried a hint of bitterness. He was in the real estate industry. In recent years, business had been declining, year after year. In order to sell their products, they had to rely on internet celebrities with a large fan base to promote them. Profits were dwindling. However, those internet celebrities only had to sell a product to take a large chunk of the profits.
“I wonder if you are free tonight, Mr Greyson. How about we discuss a collaboration?” asked Lee.
He wanted to use Heaven’s internet celebrities, who had fifty million followers, to promote their products at a low price.
Maddox Greyson declined directly, “I’m afraid I’m not available.”
After saying that, he walked over to Elijah and respectfully asked, “Mr Silverton, are you going to the company? I have something to discuss with you.”
Elijah’s approach was to trust no one and use no one.
“It’s up to you,” he replied.
“Alright.” Maddox Greyson pulled out a chair and sat down at Elijah’s table.
Lee couldn’t understand why Maddox Greyson was being so deferential to Elijah. No matter what, Maddox Greyson seemed to have more status than the seemingly insignificant Elijah, who had just been asked for his opinion.
“Mr Greyson, do you have a collaboration with Elijah?” he asked.
Maddox Greyson glanced at him and said, “No.”
“Then you…”
“Mr Silverton is the actual owner of Heaven. When it comes to major decisions, I have to consult the boss’s opinion.”Maddox Greyson smiled.
Lee’s satisfied smile slowly froze on his face.
Elijah was the actual owner?
Didn’t he already leave Headence Group?
Did he have another identity?
“Elijah.” At that moment, an older man in traditional Chinese attire approached. He used to be the wealthiest person, although times had changed, his status was still high. He was respected wherever he went. In front of him, Elijah was a younger generation, and addressing him directly by name was not a sign of disrespect, but rather a display of status.
“I heard that you started a venture capital company overseas. Without a strong financial backing, it would be impossible to succeed. Among the younger generation, you are the most promising,” the older man said.
Elijah still showed respect to the older man, standing up from his chair, raising a glass, and toasting him, “Mr Tang, you’re too kind. When it comes to achievements, it’s still you.”
Tang shook his head with emotion, waving his hand, “No, no. It’s your generation’s world now. The younger generation always surpasses the older generation.”
Lee was completely baffled.
Tang was a prominent figure, and even he spoke so highly of Elijah. Did he miss something? He asked in frustration, “Mr Tang, Elijah… Mr Silverton, didn’t he leave Headence Group?”
He couldn’t understand how Elijah could establish a venture capital firm and control Heaven Entertainment.
