Chapter 715: 715: The Fake Gorilla
He Clings to Me Every Night
The regular meeting of Marshall Corporation was due, and Michael Marshall had not seen Daniel Marshall yet.
Displeased, Michaelâs face seemed to be coated with a thin layer of ice as he coldly ordered, âCall Chief Daniel Marshall.â
Adam Howard, who was sitting behind the CEOâs seat, immediately said, âChairman, Chief Marshall decided to fly to Kyoto yesterday on short notice. Iâve taken over the affairs of the CEOâs office. If thereâs anything you need, I can liaise directly with you or pass the message on to Chief Marshall.â
Michael, with his unpredictable gaze fixed on Adam, insisted to Secretary Garcia, âCall Chief Daniel Marshall.â
Secretary Garcia dared not disobey and immediately made a video call to Chief Daniel Marshall.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In an instant, the video call was connecting. It appeared on the large screen in the meeting room.
Immediately, all the high-level executives in the room stared unblinkingly at the large screen in the meeting room.
Before Daniel Marshall connected to the video, Michaelâs face gradually darkened.
Furrowing his brows, Michaelâs tightly pursed lips were about to speak when finally, Daniel Marshall picked up the video call.
Danielâs figure appeared on the big screen, and one could immediately see the backdrop of the presidential suiteâs office in the hotel on the video.
Danielâs deep eyes squinted slightly. His handsome face carved like a masterpiece showed no expression, making people unable to guess what he was thinking.
Danielâs voice was indifferent, he said calmly, âWhat meeting is happening today? Do I have to attend? Chairman!â
An overwhelming aura emanated from Michaelâs face as he retorted, âIs Chief Marshall very busy? So busy that you left the corporation without informing me?â
A slight smirk tugged at the corners of Danielâs mouth, his eyes filled with sarcasm, âChairman, did you suddenly remember to check on me? If you need it, from today onward, I will report every day. I dealt with some matters, so I had to fly to Kyoto temporarily yesterday.
Today, I have a lunch meeting and some business to discuss, canât return to Serene City in the short term. My absence in Serene City has not conflicted with my work arrangement, the CEOâs office is functioning as usual. If Chairman doesnât believe, you can inspect the CEOâs office yourself.â
Michael cast a casual glance over the executives in the room, âBegin the meeting. Let Chief Marshall listen in as well.â
Danielâs inky eyes darken slightly, âNo problem, I happen to be free.â
Michael chaired the meeting, with Danielâs video connection continually on the big screen.
Daniel had anticipated this and had flown back to Kyoto by helicopter from Binzhou as soon as dawn broke.
Daniel was well-informed about the progress of the meeting. The key points he pointed out were spot-on, just as if he were present in person, his presence was undeniably noticeable.
In Marshall Corporation, there was no doubt about Danielâs position. He had always been the main figure, as if he were the one truly in control.
Even if there were doubts about him, there was nothing to fault him for at this moment.

When the meeting ended, so did Danielâs video call.
As the other executives began to leave, Michael suddenly called out to Adam.
âWhen did I, as a father, become less significant than an assistant? Is the Chairman also disdainful enough to overlook?â
Adam, with his devil-may-care handsome face and a hint of a faint smile, his eagle-like keen eyes calmly meeting the Chairmanâs gaze, âShould I interpret the Chairman as being jealous? You are the Chairman, naturally incomparable, and all subordinates respect you equally. I get along well with Chief Marshall, and we work together very smoothly. Perhaps itâs because we are of similar age.â
Michael glared fiercely at Adam, âDonât play the hypocrite in front of me, tell him, everyoneâs watching him, he better be careful.â
