The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life

Chapter 1588: Chapter 636: I Won (2)

That person is now the chairman on the surface of the Morgan Consortium, which makes him the spokesperson for the current head of the Morgan family outside.

Immediately, Han Suying started thinking quickly, analyzing what Vice President Ding Junxian meant by asking Charles this question.

At this moment, Charles looked at Ding Junxian with a half-smile, then picked up his wine glass and clinked it with him, nodding lightly, ”Yes, I indeed went to Europe last month.”

Hearing Charles’ answer, Han Suying instantly felt that Vice President Ding Junxian’s breathing had become heavier, and his expression also became more respectful and attentive in an instant.

Not just Vice President Ding, but another vice president by his side hurriedly raised his wine glass, seemingly offering a congratulatory toast to Charles.

While Han Suying was feeling confused, she saw another CJ Group director representative sitting next to her, who, after a brief moment of contemplation, showed a look of sudden realization, and immediately also appeared excited.

Han Suying couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer and asked in a low voice, ”Director Zhao, what does Chairman Ding mean... why do all your emotions seem to have become so excited?”

Director Zhao glanced at Charles, who was drinking and laughing with Chairman Ding, seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to their side, he then lowered his voice and quickly said:

”Don’t you understand yet? Do you remember that the chairman once mentioned that these years are very crucial for the Morgan family, because... it involves a change of generations...”

As Director Zhao said this, he quickly shut his mouth, but Han Suying already trembled and completely understood, her gaze towards Charles turning into one of shock, along with a hint of disbelief and eagerness.

Transition of generations!

Right, she nearly forgot such an important matter...

The current head of the Morgan family, due to health reasons, has had thoughts of retirement a few years ago, thus the entire Morgan family entered into the unavoidable cycle drama of major families...

Succession dispute.

Although the ancient heritage of such a colossal consortium has very refined systems, making even the head unable to act with impunity, the power of the head still far exceeds ordinary people’s imagination.

And Vice President Ding’s question just now contained an obvious hint.

As a member of the younger generation, why was Charles able to act as the chairman’s representative of the Morgan Consortium, replacing him to attend the financial summit?

Unless...he has already been designated as the next successor of the family, or at least the Morgan Consortium already has this inclination internally, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a ”misleading” move.

The reason why Han Suying didn’t think in this direction just now is not only because she lacks sensitivity to such matters but also because she met Charles once a few years ago...

But the Charles she remembered, although rather high-spirited, seemed more modest, and he never revealed any desire to compete for the family succession.

After all, although Charles was excellent, in the family sibling succession order, he was merely ranked third... along with two others.

His older brother and sister were both extremely outstanding individuals, otherwise, they wouldn’t have qualified to compete for succession.

How did Charles suddenly become the first in succession order after just two or three years?

Moreover, he seemed so confident in his victory, otherwise, he wouldn’t visit CJ Group so prominently... it turns out everything could be traced, as Han Suying suddenly connected all the clues.

Because a few years ago when Charles came to Korea, she was the one who received him, she believed she was more familiar with Charles, now that knowing this inside story, is there any room to maneuver?

As long as she could further deepen her relationship with Charles, if Charles truly takes power, perhaps she could naturally advance further.

Though she is currently a director representative of CJ Group, the real power she holds is minimal, and more often, she’s just a mascot relying on the family’s shade, but now, there seems to be an unprecedented opportunity before her...

Various exciting thoughts flashed through her mind, it didn’t stop Han Suying from quickly picking up her wine glass, following behind Director Zhao to also toast.

As she toasted, Han Suying said with a smile, ”Mr. Charles, when I first got to know you, I thought you were a true genius, and now that your wishes have come true, it proves my vision was right, so I’m truly very happy...”

”No, compared to my brother and sister, I’m indeed far behind, they are the real geniuses.”

To everyone’s surprise, Charles earnestly refuted Han Suying’s words, then seemed to sigh with emotion, ”I might just... have had better luck.”

Han Suying was momentarily at a loss, and the others also looked at each other.

Seeing the crowd that was just praising him seemed a bit embarrassed, Charles smiled slightly, ”You don’t have to look that way, I’m speaking the truth.”

”Mr. Charles, I still don’t understand.”

Seeing that Charles didn’t seem displeased, Han Suying couldn’t help but ask, ”What do you mean by ’good luck’?”

”It’s a wager, no, it’s a gamble, and it’s a gamble staking everything.”

A slightly tipsy Charles, who usually couldn’t find the right person to share such matters, said a bit more than usual.

”Can you believe it, someone with 10 dollars in their pocket walked onto Wall Street, and in just one year, he not only multiplied that 10 dollars by a billion times but also became a guest among top financial consortium families...”

Charles held up one finger, his eyes still filled with extreme incredibility when speaking of these past events.

”And an idiot, just during a cup of coffee, chose to believe in this destitute Huaxia person and helped him book a presidential suite in the best hotel on Wall Street for a month.”

Vice President Ding and Han Suying exchanged glances, seeing the blank expressions in each other’s eyes.

Was Charles actually talking about a real event, or was it the plot outline of the movie ”The Wolf of Wall Street”?

dollars turned into a billion times?

In a year?

Even the protagonist of ”The Wolf of Wall Street” took over a decade to rise...

In the midst of the silence, Director Zhao might have wanted to break this strange atmosphere, so he forced a laugh and spoke:

”Exchanging a cup of coffee for a month in the presidential suite, this idiot is indeed quite the fool, huh...”

As Director Zhao finished speaking, Charles said in a low voice:

”That fool was me.”

”...”

Director Zhao’s smile immediately froze, hurriedly standing up, ”I’m so sorry, Mr. Charles, I didn’t mean to...”

”It’s alright, I know how unbelievable such things sound.”

Charles didn’t mind and waved his hand, taking another sip of wine, squinting, he said with a mix of pride and sigh:

”When everyone in the Morgan family sneered at him back then, I was the only one who chose to believe in him. It was a wager, no, it was a gamble, and a gamble staking everything, but fortunately... I won.”

...

The waves rippled gently, and the luxury yacht sailed along the Han River, lights twinkling on both shores.

In the second-floor hall of the yacht, by the window at a dining table.

Zhou Wang, who had just convinced Jin Zhixiu to drink with him, raised his glass and clinked it with hers, preparing to tell a few raunchy jokes to tease this woman who, although mature, was quite easily flustered, when the phone rang.

Zhou Wang picked it up and looked surprised.

This person... almost never contacted him proactively, Zhou Wang once wondered if there might be some invisible restriction imposed by the system inside, just not having found a suitable method to verify it.

”Hello, Old Wang?”

”Mr. Zhou, it’s me.”

From the other end of the line came the steady voice of Wang Ruixi, with no unnecessary words, directly to the point:

”Here’s the thing, I just got the news that George Charles Morgan is visiting Korea for a business trip soon, I heard from Old Chen of Tyrant Security that you also went to Korea, and since Charles Morgan has previously inquired about you many times through me... if there’s an opportunity, could you meet with him?”

George Charles Morgan?

Who is that...

Zhou Wang was first taken aback, then felt that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

He carefully recalled for a moment before finally remembering.

Isn’t this the Beautiful Country young man who welcomed him at the Hawaii International Airport during his first retrieval of Memory Fragment in the Time Gear?

The other seemed to be the third young master of the Morgan Consortium...
