Arthur didn’t just change his phone—he replaced his SIM card too. He had no intention of letting the Gray family contact him ever again. When he got to the meeting spot, Stanley was already waiting outside. The moment he saw Arthur, he stepped forward with enthusiasm. It wasn’t until he saw the news yesterday that Stanley realized Arthur was actually the son of the Gray family. For the longest time, he had been drowning in financial stress and hadn’t had the energy to keep up with the latest headlines. But now that his company’s acquisition was finalized, he had finally been able to relax and check his phone. He didn’t pry too much. From this moment on, Arthur was his boss. His only job was to carry out Arthur’s orders and make sure everything ran smoothly. The company transfer went without a hitch. Stanley had already handled everything in advance. All Arthur had to do was show up and sign. Arthur didn’t waste any time. He sent the remaining funds to Stanley in one go. Staring at the balance in his bank account, Stanley felt his chest tighten. His eyes burned. This company had been his for years. More importantly, this money was his mother’s lifeline. He was beyond grateful to Arthur. Not only had he secured his mother’s future, but he also let him stay at the company. Stanley was determined to give it everything he had. He would do whatever it took to help Arthur take the business to the next level. And he knew, without a doubt, they would make it happen. Arthur decided to name his company Cloudia Corporation. He still remembered overhearing John talk about the meaning behind his name. John had called him Arthur because he wanted him to stay grounded, to live an ordinary and steady life. But Arthur had no intention of staying in the dirt—he was going to rise above it all and reach the skies. Once all the legal paperwork was done, Arthur and Stanley headed back to the company. His first order of business? Cleaning out Cloudia Corporation. Some people were nothing more than leeches. He didn’t care how skilled they were—if they weren’t decent, they were out. No one at the company had heard the news about the acquisition yet. To them, it was just another normal workday. The moment Arthur stepped inside, people started staring. Tammy spotted him and, despite her confusion, put on a polite smile. "Mr. John? Are you here to see our chairman, Mr. Young, again?"Before she could finish speaking, her eyes landed on Stanley, who was standing behind Arthur. She gasped in surprise. "Mr. Young?" Why was he walking in with Arthur? Yesterday, Arthur had gone into the chairman’s office, only to leave shortly after. The whole office had been gossiping about it. He must have been kicked out, they had assumed. After all, if he was actually trying to buy the company, there was no way that meeting would have been over so fast. Stanley showing up at the company today only confirmed what everyone had already assumed. The moment Cindy spotted Arthur, she jumped at the chance to cozy up to Stanley. "Mr. Young, see? I told you he was full of it." Then she shot Arthur a condescending look. "What are you doing back here, kid? Don’t tell me you’re trying to steal from us now." Hearing the noise, Zion quickly came out to see what was going on. After politely greeting Stanley, he turned to Arthur and sneered. "Seriously? You’re just a snot-nosed kid and you actually thought you could buy out our company? Got kicked out yesterday, didn’t you? And yet you still have the nerve to come back today? You must be out of your mind." None of them even considered the idea that their chairman had actually walked in with Arthur. They figured he must have just run into him at the door. Now that Stanley was here, they were convinced Arthur wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble. But before they could keep running their mouths, Stanley’s expression had already darkened. "Cindy! Zion! Who do you think you are, talking to our chairman like that?" He had always known they liked to gossip, but he hadn’t expected them to be this out of line. They had jumped straight into mocking Arthur without even stopping to think. He hadn’t even had time to shut them up. The two of them were stunned by Stanley’s outburst. They looked at him in confusion. Our chairman?Wasn’t Stanley the chairman? Arthur barely glanced at them, his expression unreadable. Years of experience running a company in his past life had left him with a natural air of authority. Without a hint of emotion, he said, "Stanley, these two don’t need to show up tomorrow." "What did you just say?" Zion and Cindy exclaimed at the same time, completely in shock. The entire office went silent.Zion and Cindy sneered. "Are you serious, kid? Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to talk like that? You looking to get knocked out?" "Exactly! Telling us not to come in tomorrow like you run the place. What do you think this is, playtime? You don’t get to make that call! What a joke!" Even the other employees started whispering among themselves. Who does this guy think he is? He was standing in their company, talking to their chairman like he was the one in charge. And now he was acting like he could just fire a manager and a supervisor on the spot? It was as if he didn’t see them as worth anything at all.
