With a sneer, Philip said, “Bring him up. You can handle him while I observe on the side.”
“Yes, Young Master Clarke,” Hoyt replied.
A few minutes later, Liam approached with a face full of smiles. He stretched his hand out and said fawningly, “Oh, Director Luther, we’re finally meeting. I’m full of excitement and anticipation.”
Hoyt smiled slightly and said, “Manager Johnston, you’re too kind.”
Seeing that Hoyt was shaking hands with him, Liam immediately smiled. It seemed that there was a chance for him to cooperate with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce today. Sure enough, Liam Johnston was the cream of the crop and the future of the Johnston family. As long as they could cooperate, the position of general manager in the company would be his!
However, with a flick of his eyes, he suddenly saw someone else in the office. The said person was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee in a dignified manner.
“Philip Clarke? What is a wastrel like you doing here?”
Liam’s face changed as he looked displeased. There was a hint of coldness and contempt in the corners of his eyes.
Why was this loser here?
Moreover, he was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee so nonchalantly!
Did this guy know where this was?
This was the office of the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce’s director!
Philip chuckled, raised his hand to wave, and said with a smile, “Hello, Liam.”
“Cut the crap! Why are you here?!” Liam was immediately angry. His eyebrows were furrowed together, and his eyes looked cold as he shouted.
Why was Philip acting so relaxed here?
“Also, what gives you the right to be sitting down? And drinking coffee? Do you know where this is? Stand up at once!”
Liam was annoyed. If Hoyt got angry because of this insolent Philip, neither of them would end well!
He was angry! Livid!
How dare Philip hurt his dad and even try to bring Martin Pharmaceutical down? He must be delusional! Philip did not reply, but a faint smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
With an unhappy expression, Hoyt spoke up at this time and asked, “Manager Johnston, are you here to talk about cooperation?”
Liam immediately stepped forward, nodded fawningly, and said with a smile, “Director Luther, you’re very attentive. Martin Pharmaceutical is a large enterprise in Riverdale and we’re looking for like-minded companies and chambers of commerce to cooperate with. The medical industry in Uppercreek is well-developed and needs a large group like Martin Pharmaceutical to push out Uppercreek’s medical services more effectively. Moreover, our ranking in Riverdale’s medical industry is second to none. This is our company’s introduction and project cooperation agreement. Director Luther, please go through it.”
After saying that, Liam handed over a stack of materials.
Hoyt just glanced at it and said, “As far as I know, Beacon Group is in Riverdale, which is also a large enterprise. Moreover, they’re more famous than Martin Pharmaceutical and have been recognized by the medical community.”
Liam quickly said, “Director Luther, you may not be aware that Beacon is suffering from both internal and external problems right now. Their overall efficacy is a mess. I was in Beacon for some time. They’re facing some problems internally and have lost all funding. Furthermore, half of the company’s shareholders are gone, and even five to six investors have left. As for Martin Pharmaceutical, we have plenty of talents and investors. We’re definitely the best choice for the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce.”
Philip scoffed at this time. “Do you think Beacon Group is done for? Do you think that Martin Pharmaceutical can reach a cooperation agreement with the Uppercreek Chamber of Commerce?”
