Chapter 2 The New Chairman

"As long as you agree to be the new chairman, I'll arrange everything for you. How's that, Martin?" Morgan said with a smile.

"I'm in!" Martin nodded as he smiled back.

When Morgan saw Martin's smile, he immediately knew that Martin accepted him as his grandfather and this made Morgan happy.

Morgan then pat Martin's shoulder. "Once you graduate college, I'll make you the future heir of the Gold Group company."

After a few minutes, Morgan said that he still had a lot of things to do so he had to rush back. He also told Martin that he shouldn't hesitate to ask him if he needed anything else.

And with that, Morgan left in a blink of an eye.

"I can't believe I became Morgan's grandson. Not to mention, I'm going to become the heir of the Gold Group company." Martin murmured to himself as if he couldn't believe it.

He then looked at the bank card that Morgan gave him and swore to himself that he'd take revenge on every single person who looked down at him.

After Morgan went out, the secretary immediately followed behind him. "Mr. Gracie, I don't think it's a good idea to give the young master the position of a chairman when he doesn't even know anything about running a company."

"It's a test, don't worry. If he acts like a spoiled brat, then I'll have no choice but to expel him myself." Morgan replied.

He knew that the company wasn't hard to actually run. After all, the company had professional managers and executives running the company already. He simply just needed someone to look after them.

And he thought that Martin fit the job perfectly.

"What if the young master can increase the profits though?" The secretary said.

"Of course, That's better. But I doubt that'll happen." Morgan said as he shook his head.

Morgan never expected Martin to do better than him. After all, he just needed to behave himself and look after the company for him. If he managed to do that, then he'd be the rightful heir to the Gold Group company.

However, Morgan also never expected that Martin would exceed his expectations.

At eight o'clock the next morning, all the staff heard the astonishing news and more than a hundred employees lined up outside the company. Warner Joseph stood as the general manager in front of the line. The same goes for Michel Bess as he stood as the deputy general manager.

Meanwhile, standing in the second row were the five department managers, including the Rudolf Joseph, who was the person that took Martin's girlfriend.

The rest of the managers and employees lined up neatly so they could celebrate the new chairman's arrival.

"I don't know who this new chairman is, but he suddenly made his way onto the board!" An employee said.

"If that's the case, then he must be really rich." Another employee said as she snickered.

At that time, Jessie was mixed in with the employees and she giggled. "As far as I know, the new chairman is one of Mr. Gracie's relatives."

"A relative of Mr. Gracie?!"

"Are you sure about that, Jessie?"

"Of course, I am! After all, Rudolf told me about it. He wouldn't lie to me." Jessie said triumphantly.

For a while, every single employee asked about Jessie's relationship with Rudolf and that made her happy. She then concluded that it was a wise choice to break up with Martin because she thought that he truly was a poor loser.

If she hadn't done that, no one would pay attention to her.

All of a sudden, Martin appeared. This made Jessie and Rudolf frown in disgust.

"What is he doing here?!" Jessie murmured to herself.

Rudolf then stood in front of Martin and blocked his way. "Hey, Loser. What the heck are you doing here? I thought we talked about this. We have something important to celebrate today and I don't have time to argue with you, so get out of here!" Rudolf shouted as he grabbed everyone's attention.

"Don't you know how to shut up, Rudolf?" Martin said as he glared at Rudolf.

"You're telling me to shut up?" Rudolf said as he laughed hysterically. "You're just jealous that Jessie picked me to be her boyfriend."

At this time, Jessie ran over to where Rudolf and Martin were.

"What a coincidence, Jessie. We meet again." Martin said, smiling at Jessie.

"Martin, didn't I tell you that I wanted to break up with you?! I can't date a loser like you anymore!" Jessie said as she frowned.

"Jessie, I'm not here to get back together with you. All in honesty, even if you beg me to be with you again, I'll never do that." Martin said as he sneered at Jessie.

"Wait, you want me to beg for you?" Jessie laughed. "Are you serious? I would never do that! Not with a poor loser like you!"

When Warner saw everything, he sighed and decided to stop Rudolf and Jessie's nonsense. "Son, who is this guy? Do you even know what day it is? If the new chairman sees this, he'll be furious!"

"Dad, he's nobody. I'm just asking him to leave immediately." Rudolf said with a smile. After that, he looked at Martin then glared at him. "Either you get out here yourself or I'll ask the security to make you leave."

"To tell you the truth Rudolf, I'm the new chairman here. You can't just kick me out."

"Wait, what? You're the new chairman? What a joke!" Rudolf said as he burst into laughter once again.

Even the employees couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh. Martin was dressed like a normal college student and there was no way he could be the chairman.

Jessie felt embarrassed. "Martin, would you just stop humiliating yourself already? You look like trash. I doubt that anyone would ever believe that you're the chairman."

"But really am the new chairman." Martin retorted.

"Who do you even think you are, Martin? This is exactly why I broke up with you." Jessie scoffed.

"Security! Get this kid out of here right now!" Rudolf said as he called the security guards directly.

All of a sudden, more than a dozen security guards ran over to where Martin was. However, just as they were about to kick Martin out, a Bentley came slowly.

It was the same Bentley that Martin saw in front of his home yesterday.

"Look at that car! That must be the new chairman!" The employees said one after another.

General Manager Warner simply smiled as soon as he saw the car and shouted. "Everybody, get ready to greet the new chairman!"

"Martin, didn't you say that you were the chairman? I think all you did was give us false hope. I mean, look at the car the new chairman is in!" Jessie said as she laughed.

"Yeah, Sure." Martin smirked.

As soon as Martin looked at the car, a middle-aged man came out.

Martin recognized the man immediately. He was the one who was following his grandfather yesterday and he seemed to be Morgan's secretary.

"Secretary Jeremy, why're you the only one here? Where's the new chairman?" Warner said, bewildered.

"The new chairman just arrived. Haven't you seen him?" Jeremy said.

"I... don't see him anywhere."

Jeremy simply sighed. He then looked around and his eyes fell on Martin. Jeremy hurriedly went to him and Warner followed after Jeremy even when he didn't know what was going on.

When Jeremy reached where Martin was, he bowed immediately. "Young master, I'm sorry I'm late."
