My Substitute CEO Bride
Chapter 725
Lauren adjusted Harrisonâs tie as she said, âIâm going to the finance department now. You go ahead and meet Mr. Yates!â
Harrison double-checked his appearance before returning to his
office with the secretary.
âApologies for the intrusion, Mr. Harrison. Please donât take it personally!â
Andi Yates, a man in his 40s, smiled as he got to his feet and walked forth to shake Harrisonâs hand.
He was wearing a well-pressed suit and was clean-shaven. His hair had been combed into a neat hairstyle. He was a walking example of
what a successful man should look like.
âI didnât know youâd drop by today, Mr. Yates. My apologies that I was not here to greet you!â
Harrison used his left hand to shake Andiâs hand while using his right
to beckon him to sit. âPlease take a seat, Mr. Yates!â
Then, he turned to the secretary and said, âRuby, bring us my
treasured collection of Earl Grey tea!â
As the two settled on the couch, Andi placed the tea, cigars, and wine
he had brought along on the coffee table. âThese are some simple gifts Iâve prepared for you, Mr. Harrison. I hope youâll enjoy them!â
Harrison chuckled. âYouâre too kind, Mr. Yates. Itâs enough that youâre here. You didnât need to prepare any gifts!â
Aged wine from Tuscany, Davidoff cigars, and rooibos tea from 1963. These items cost roughly two million dollars in total, and though not ridiculously expensive, they were not particularly cheap either. Such gifts were perfect for a first-time meeting.
Andi looked around the office and smiled as he said, âBaroque Group is doing better by the day, but your office remains as simple as ever, Mr. Harrison. Thatâs a rare sight to behold!â
Harrison chuckled. âYouâre too kind, Mr. Yates. I just prefer having a calmer office because they say tranquility yields transcendence!â
The secretary brewed tea while they exchanged pleasantries.
Harrison poured Andi a cup of tea and then smiled while saying, âOne does not drop by unannounced without reason, Mr. Yates. I wonder why youâre here to see me today?â
He motioned for Andi to take the cup after he filled it.
Andi did not bother with formalities and sipped on the tea as he smiled sadly. He said, âI wonât bother beating about the bush anymore. I have a nephew who has just graduated from universi and heâs founded a smartphone company with a few of his friend
âThat young, impetuous man wants to produce high-end phones despite just starting out, and theyâre interested in using 7nm chips. However, they donât have access to any suppliers, and I heard that Baroque Group has a photolithography machine for 7nm chips.â
Harrison paused halfway in bringing the cup to his lips.
Could things really be this wonderful?
The other two companies had monopolized the market for 7nm chips, and Baroque Group had not yet found any clients because their skills
were not mature enough.
They had just been worrying about this, and a client had arrived at
their front doors.
Harrison put his cup down and smiled as he said, âItâs good that the youngsters are full of drive. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace today, and smart technology is taking the world by storm now.
âOnly high-end phones will be able to withstand the challenges the market throws their way⦠The world is going to belong to the younger generation soon!â
Andi laughed. âYouâre right, Mr. Harrison⦠We went through the same thing during our times!â
Harrison asked, âMay I know how large your nephewâs company is and roughly what their demand would be, Mr. Yates?â
Andi smiled knowingly. âDonât worry, Mr. Harrison. Iâve invest
two billion dollars in their company and will continue to mak
investments if things go smoothly for them. Baroque Group the only company supplying them with the chips!â

Excitement washed over Harrison, but he arranged his features in calm expression. He merely smiled slightly as he said, âIn that ca why donât we arrange to have a meal with your nephew soon?â
After all, Andi was merely the middle-man here. If Harrison wanted to discuss business matters, he had to speak to Andiâs nephew.
âSure thing. Iâll have everything arranged!â
Andi laughed. âIf you could spare me one of your business cards, Iâll have my nephew contact you directly, Mr. Harrison!â
The secretary retrieved a business card from Harrisonâs desk and held it in both hands as she handed it to Andi. She said in a soft voice, âHereâs Mr. Harrisonâs business card, Mr. Yates!â
Andi took the business card and glanced at the clock before he got to his feet. âItâs getting late, and I still have some business to take care of at work. I wonât keep you from your work any longer, Mr. Harrison. Weâll meet again soon!â
âAlright, Iâll walk you to the door!â
Harrison walked alongside Andi to the elevators.
Andi patted Harrison on the shoulder and smiled as he said, âNo need
to accompany me any farther, Mr. Harrison. Iâll head downstairs. myself!â
âAlright. Goodbye, Mr. Yates!â
Harrison pressed the button that would make the elevator doors
close.
The elevator doors closed slowly.
Harrison was in an excellent mood. He clasped his hands behind his
back and hummed under his breath as he walked toward the finance
department to share the wonderful news with Lauren.
Yet, he had only taken a few steps before he received another phone
call.
âMr. Harrison⦠A man claiming to be the heir of the Kennedys wants
to meet you!â
