Chapter 388


    I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 388


    After Zayne left, David pulled Celia over to sit on the sofa.


    “Good job, Hugo. I can’t believe you managed to familiarize yourself with a prominent figure i n Capital


    City’s business industry. I’m doubling your annual bonus,” David said casually.


    “Thank you, Mr. Lidell! I’m just doing what I’m supposed to.” Hugo stood up to thank him.


    With Zayne gone, Hugo did not dare to act pompously before David.


    Not when David was his superior and the boss of the trillion-dor East League Capitals.


    David was also the only shareholder of East League Capitals, something extremely rare in the business


    industry.


    This was becausepanies with only one shareholder are usually passed down withinrge and old


    aristocratic families.


    “Sit, sit. There’s no need to act with so much restriction in front of me.”


    “Yes, Mr. Lidell!”


    “Celia, East League Capitals was thepany I was telling you about yesterday. Thepany belongs


    to me, and I’m the one sole owner,” David told Celia.


    Celia had already guessed as much when David brought her into the room, but it was still shocking to


    hear David say it himself.


    ording to David, thepany was only worth a few hundred billion yesterday, but it was worth more


    than a trillion today.


    “Hugo, do you know of a woman called Mindy Graham?” David asked Hugo aftering clean about his


    identity with Celia.


    “Who’s Mindy Graham?” Hugo asked.


    “It’s thatpany that sells makeup products. What’s it called again?”


    “Beautylish Group!” Celia replied.


    “That one. She’s the chairman of Beautylish Group. I thought you bought her shares?” David asked.


    “Beautylish Group? Oh, I remember now. I did buy her shares, at a very low price too. I remember


    putting in an extra billion funds or so, under the condition that I would hold more o f Beautylish Group’s


    shares if I don’t make my principle and interest back in a year.” Hugo replied.


    “Beautylish Group’s chairman’s outside now. Go and call her inside.”


    “Yes, Mr. Lidell.”


    Hugo got up to leave.


    “No need to actually look for her, just stand outside and she’lle to you. All you need to do i s bring


    her here to this room.”


    “Yes, Mr. Lidell!”


    Hugo left the room to wait in the hall.


    Following David’s instructions, Hugo stood in ce and waited for Mindy to look for him.


    However, he had not stood for long when a crowd began to gather around him.


    “Hello, Mr. Carlos, I’m from XXX, this is my name card. I’d like to talk to you whenever you’re free.”


    “Hello, Mr. Carlos, I’m from XXX. Ourpany has a great project in need of partners. This is my name


    card, perhaps we could discuss the details whenever you’re free?”


    “Hello, Mr. Carlos. I’m…”


    “Hello, Mr. Carlos. I’m…”


    Hugo felt speechless. If this was any other day, he would be very interested to talk to these people.


    Especially when David’s method of investment was “anyone and everyone”, and money was not an


    issue.


    However, David was waiting for him today and he did not dare to make his superior wait pointlessly in the


    room.


    While Mindy talked to a few acquaintances, she was also waiting for Hugo toe out.


    When she saw Hugoe out, Mindy began to look around for David and Celia.


    Only toe up empty-handed after looking around the hall.


    She was vexed. She had told them to stay close, but they did not listen at all.


    Now they were missing when she needed them.

    Still, she decided to greet Hugo first, lest he disappears again in a moment.


    “Hello, Mr. Carlos, we meet again,” Mindy walked up to Hugo and greeted him.


    Hugo looked at Mindy and quickly tried to recall her identity, then he confirmed that she was indeed the


    chairman of Beautylish Group and the person David wanted him to bring over.


    “Are you Ms. Graham of Beautylish Group?” Hugo asked.


    He confirmed again, afraid that he mixed her up with someone from anotherpany East League


    invested in.


    “I am! Thank you for remembering me, Mr. Carlos!” Mindy said happily.


    “Perfect. There’s something I need to talk to you about, Ms. Graham. Please follow me. Thank you for


    your name cards, everyone. I’ll contact you another day. Thank you for believing in East League


    Capitals.”


    With that, the crowd dissipated after handing Hugo their name cards.


    “Could you give me a moment, Mr. Carlos? I am with my daughter and son-inw, please allow me to


    look for them. I was hoping to introduce them to you.”


    “There’s no need. Please follow me.”


    After this, Hugo walked off. He could not make David wait too long.


    Mindy had no choice but to follow, all while internally scolding David and Celia.


    They just had to vanish during this great opportunity to meet someone powerful.


    Hugo brought Mindy to the back of the hall and through a quiet corridor.


    Mindy’s heart stuttered, she had a bad feeling about this.


    She wondered if Hugo was nning to do something to her, with how he declined when she asked to


    bring Celia and David along.


    Mindy was confident in her looks, knowing that she had the looks of a thirty-year-old when she was


    already in her forties.


    She knew she was very attractive among mature women and Hugo was also in his forties.


    He could have developed feelings for her.


    Mindy did not know what to do.


    She was afraid that Hugo would force himself onto her once he brought her into an empty room.


    As improbable as that was, they were all prominent figures in the industry, so it was not impossible.


    Mindy refused to let something like that happen. She was faithful to her husband.


    However, she could not cause a ruckus and attract attention either.


    Not when Hugo was the representative of East League Capitals, apany that was not only a huge


    shareholder in Beautylish Group, but apany that Beautylish Group owed a billion dors to. If


    Beautylish Group could not repay the debt in a year, East League Capitals would then be


    Beautylish Group’s majority shareholder.


    Mindy could not make an enemy of her creditor, nor was she willing to betray her husband.


    Mindy felt conflicted.


    Many people within the business industry offered bedroom services in exchange for investments.


    If not for her husband and his old superior’s connections in Capital City, Beautylish Group could not have


    grown so smoothly when she first started her business.


    At this moment, Mindy scolded David and Celia internally again.


    After all, Hugo would not have the chance to do anything out of order if the two of them came with her.


    She was put in a reactive position now, unable to take control of the situation and stuck between a rock


    and a hard ce.


    After a short moment of conflict, Mindy decided that she would follow him first.


    Worsee to worst, she could always just get up and leave.


    She did not care if leaving would make Hugo an enemy of Beautylish Group, but she was not going to


    betray her husband no matter what.


    Not even if it cost her Beautylish Group.


    With that decided, Mindy felt much more rxed as she followed Hugo.


    Still, her body tensed instinctively when she followed Hugo into the room.
