Chapter 1183 Westonâs eyes gradually darkened, and his attention drifted from what the person next to him was saying.
He was distracted until Daisy nudged him as a reminder. Weston glanced at the people in the room and pointed out all the mistakes they had just said.
Daisy froze for a moment. She knew Weston was clearly distracted earlier, but she never expected that heâd still see through their plans at a glance.
Weston was born to be in the business world. His perceptiveness and insight were very rare and one of the best in the world.
The investors sitting next to Weston heard Westonâs comments and nodded in agreement. âWe werenât going to work with such a young principal initially, but your name is just too big.â
One of them casually said, âAfter this project, we plan to involve ourselves in the entertainment industry.
Itâs a profitable time. I heard a movie has the potential to earn over a billion or two at the box office.â
âThatâs true, but youâll need enough upfront capital to invest,â someone interjected. âDonât just look at the movies that make money. There are even more unprofitable movies out there. Some have invested over a billion into it only to lose everything.â âRight? Some lowâbudget films could stand out and earn a lot...
they turn our eyes red with envy. Some spend a lot, only to get nothing in the end.â
When it came to movies, someone said, âWasnât there a big production movie made three years ago?
But that one was lucky and became a hit, except for the actress who played Sophie⦠What was her name?â
âElla!â
Some of their faces had changed. They warned that guy to stop talking, but the man had been drinking a little and was slow to react. He didnât realize the actress Ella was Westonâs wife, Stella.
The drunken man continued with a smile, âI really liked that actress. She was at a good age. I think she was still very young. At that time, I thought of getting to know her if I got the chance. What was the reason again... Anyway, it didnât work out...â
T The person beside him hit the manâs hand twice hard, but he still did not realize what he had said wrong.
He continued talking about Stella with great interest until he felt the strange atmosphere inside the private area.
It felt very chilly and cold.
When he looked up and met Westonâs brooding and cold eyes, he had a chill down his spine. He finally turned sober and stuttered, âMr. Ford ...â The drunken man finally remembered why he had not messed with that little actress in the first place. She was Westonâs wife!
The drunken man was stunned into silence. Realizing the grave mistake he had just made, he began apologizing profusely. âI am so, so sorry! I drank too much and said the wrong thing. Please accept my apology!â
As he said that, he picked up the glass and downed several rounds of wine. He felt it was not enough and slapped himself twice. âIâve said too much!â
Weston seemed a little impatient. He casually rested his hand on the back of the chair and shook his wrist slightly.
The person next to him immediately understood and gestured to the drunken man. âIf you know youâve said too much, donât be an eyesore! Youâve drunk a lot. Youâre not needed here anymore. Get out!â
That man knew he had said the wrong thing and offended Weston. He got up and bowed to Weston. âIâm sorry, Mr. Ford. I said the wrong thing. Iâll never do it again. Please forgive me!â
After that, he did not stay and left the room immediately.
Weston did not show any reaction. His eyes were as cold and sullen as ever.
The people around him feared offending Weston and tried their best to please him. âMr. Ford, let us know if you need anything. Weâll do anything within our capabilities!â
The other man next to Weston was going to get right to the point. The drunken man clearly spoke without thinking. Upsetting Weston because of this would only put them at a loss.
The man came up with an idea and suddenly suggested warmly, âWe know all the managers here. There are some pretty girls around... Mr. Ford, are you interested?â
