Chapter 558

The uneasiness was evident on Wendy’s face. “D-Don’t do this, Julian. You’ve invested so much of your time and effort into Cunningham Group Wellness Herbary, and its business is expanding so well right now; you can’t do this! We’d be thankful if you just offered Ed a job there.

I’m sure you’re well-aware of his situation; if he could have a simple job that could provide him with the money to care for our family, that would be enough. W-We can’t drag the company’s progress down…”

Julian and Matthew exchanged glances and smiled as they both thought, This girl, Wendy, seems like a pretty decent girl. She’s kind, pure, and not the slightest bit greedy; how rare it is to be able to find a woman with such qualities!

Everyone else, conversely, stared at Wendy like she was an idiot. Why would she reject such a great opportunity? But what the majority of the people couldn’t comprehend was this—Julian had worked so hard to get the Wellness Herbary to the peak of its performance; anyone who heard his name would identify him as the king of herbs in Eastcliff. The company’s income was high and business was good, so why would Julian want to hand his position as the CEO over right now? Could he bear to just let go of such a huge company?

With a laugh, Julian replied, “Don’t worry about Ed’s illness; he’ll be healed soon. Furthermore, I’ll have other things to focus on in the upcoming days, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope with all the things going on at the Wellness Herbary.

Even before Ed returned, I’d already had plans to let go of the company in three months’ time; the difference is just who I’m handing the company to. Since Ed’s back, I’d feel the safest if he were to take over the company.”

Once the crowd heard this, they finally understood why Julian had to do that. A man in the crowd chuckled and asked, “Does that mean you’ll be starting a new company soon, President Davis? Can I invest in your company?” This man was one of Julian’s partners and had a pretty good relationship with him, which explained why he dared to be so straightforward with his words.

Julian laughed heartily as he asked, “Hamilton, are you asking to invest in my company when you don’t even know what sort of business I’m planning to work on?”

The man laughed along with him as he replied, “I’ll definitely support and invest in anything that you do in the future, President Davis. I’m not investing in your projects; I’m investing in you as an individual! I trust you!”

Once he said this, there were loads of nods and murmurs of agreement coming from the crowd.

Everyone had witnessed Julian’s capabilities with their own eyes; they also recognized how popular he was through the wedding they attended today. A man like him would definitely succeed regardless of the sort of field or career that he decided to dabble in!

Soon enough, more people in the crowd began to voice out their wishes of investing in the new company. With a faint nod, Julian uttered, “Alright. I want to thank all of you for your support. All of you are welcome to come over and visit once my new project is more stable. You guys can invest in it if you’re interested then.

Throughout my years of working with Wellness Herbary, I only managed to bring the company to where it is today because of the support of all my friends. Ed is a friend of mine too, so I hope everyone here would extend your grace to him once he takes over the company. Thank you, everyone!” He placed his hands against his chest and bowed to them.

Everyone smiled and nodded. Since the Wellness Herbary was already doing so well, anyone who formed partnerships with the company would definitely earn good money. In that case, who wouldn’t want to become partners with them?

Leo and the rest who stood at the back were filled with envy the minute they heard Julian’s speech.

How did Ed just end up taking control over such a huge company like Wellness Herbary? Perhaps we’d be able to get a few benefits if we had been closer to Matthew and Julian in the past.

The business is worth a few billion dollars; any position in the company would probably supply us with a yearly income of a few hundred thousand dollars. Leo and the rest blamed themselves for lacking the foresightedness to have expected this. How did we miss this opportunity during our schooling days?
