686: Chapter 121: A Meeting with Ulterior Motives, Where Everyone Speaks Sincere Lies_2 686: Chapter 121: A Meeting with Ulterior Motives, Where Everyone Speaks Sincere Lies_2 Achilles’ subordinates, of course, knew Mi’er.
Although they didn’t have a good relationship, that was a matter for the master’s family.
In the presence of Mi’er, they naturally showed great respect.
“Please follow me!”
The servant led CEO Cheng through the estate, which was even larger than Gru’s suburban estate.
Judging by the exterior of the building, it seemed to have quite a few years under its belt.
The so-called heritage of the noble families, just like this old house, was gradually accumulated over a long and arduous family history.
Achilles had the strength to become a wave, to compete for the position of future leader of the party, and all of this could not be separated from the innate advantages his family provided.
“We’re here, he’s inside, Miss.”
After leading the two to the back, the servant stepped away.
“This is the gym, Chan.
He is somewhat contemptuous of us.”
Mi’er was very familiar with this house.
Her face didn’t show any dissatisfaction, but her words still were always filled with disdain towards Achilles.
“Right.”
CEO Cheng opened the door and saw Achilles, this gigantic powerhouse, exercising on a rowing machine with several personal attendants around him.
Some held towels, others water, and one with a tablet was making a report.
“…, regarding the copper mine prices, due to the reduction in production in South America, both LME and COMEX copper continue to rise, and the CIF prices remain robust, we…”
Achilles noticed CEO Cheng’s arrival—he didn’t even glance at Mi’er, his own sister, but instead first looked towards CEO Cheng.
“Alright, stop there.
We will also reduce production, arrange a fire to affect mining or a landslide to block transportation, you handle the specifics.”
“Yes, so should I leave now?”
“Yes, arrange it as soon as possible.
Copper prices are still too low.”
Achilles’ behavior of manipulating the market to support prices could be considered instinctual, but after all, he was a capitalist.
From this point of view, it seemed there was nothing wrong with it.
“Chan, long time no see.
What have you been busy with recently?”
Achilles, while drinking water, stood up from the rowing machine.
He took the towel to wipe off some sweat and began to chat with Cheng Daqi.
“The usual, except that a gunman attacked me recently.
I thought you were dissatisfied with me.
I was so afraid that I went into hiding for quite a few days.
Then Mi’er told me that you aren’t that kind of person.
I came here specifically to apologize to you today.
It was a misunderstanding on my part.”
Temir furrowed his brow.
What CEO Cheng was saying was entirely different from what they had planned.
He wasn’t following the script.
Xiao Cheng truly cared about Mi’er.
Knowing that Mi’er was reluctant to bow to her brother, he chose to express his stance to Achilles in this indirect way, through the act of bowing himself.
The black-haired wealthy woman was feeling very complicated at the moment.
She somewhat hated CEO Cheng.
Why would you do so much for me?
If you really don’t want me, why still do so much for me?
Subtle and twisted, this kind of nuanced sentiment was so convoluted that she even forgot where she was at the moment, and who she was facing.
In the social environment of smart people, CEO Cheng’s gesture had already revealed a lot of information.
First: CEO Cheng believed the gunman was sent by Achilles.
Second: CEO Cheng was scared and concerned, so he chose to bow down.
Third: Brother, Mi’er has actually bowed too.
You should be able to understand.
But Achilles really was a bit confused.
He asked perplexedly.
“I sent a gunman for you?
Chan, I’ve been busy recently, but my memory is probably still not too bad.
I don’t think I’ve done such a thing.
Explain to me what exactly happened.”
Compared to Achilles’ reaction, the remaining attendants beside him showed no surprise.
The business assistant who had just left, now leaving only those close to him.
The three people present, two of them core scions of the Caramakris family, all the attendants were old hands of the Caramakris family, the kind inheriting ancestral business.
Not to mention that Achilles had ordered a hit on CEO Cheng, even if Achilles blatantly planned an audacious scheme right there against the Great Commander, these attendants would neither snitch nor leak secrets.
This perplexity from Achilles brought Mi’er back from her distraction.
She didn’t believe Achilles’ nonsense and wanted to interject some cutting remarks.
CEO Cheng quickly intercepted to prevent Mi’er from casting her spell.
“Mr.
Achilles, that night I hid after…and then I started hiding away.
Later, I saw some incidents happening in California, regarding Gru, Forbes and such, so I thought, maybe at that time, you intended to warn me.”
After hearing CEO Cheng’s explanation, Achilles merely laughed it off.
“Hitmen, assassinations, these things seem very useful, but actually, they can backfire.
They are a double-edged sword.
Only those who are desperate, those who have nothing left, these fools, harbor illusions that they can solve real problems with such off-field tactics.
They can have a moment of rampant success, but it won’t last.
Chan, if I wanted to kill you, I could do it right now.
I could do it whenever I want, why would I need to send someone to attack you?”
Although it was a threat to Cheng Daqi, Achilles was looking at Mi’er.
He understood that the two had come to submit today.
But just because they were submitting, didn’t mean Achilles would choose to face them with a good attitude.
How did Achilles deal with the California Clique?
He used dual tactics: extreme pressure!
How had Achilles interacted with CEO Cheng previously in Florida?
Achilles’ words were very unkind.
Fearing that Mi’er might not be able to contain her anger, CEO Cheng went with the flow and joined in the conversation.
