Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu’s Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 684: Chapter 680: That Foolish Richelle Dunn, A Bit Naive

Richelle Dunn initially thought that Roy Lewis was finally unable to hold back due to the matter of Alexander Lewis.

However, after hearing his explanation, she realized that she had underestimated this man.

If he were the kind of person who couldn’t resist such a small matter involving Alexander Lewis, he wouldn’t have become the CEO of the Lewis Group at the age of twenty.

Moreover, his position wouldn’t still be so stable after ten years.

“Alright, I’ll communicate with Denise later, let the headquarters of United Ventures create some tense atmosphere, so that Denise will cooperate.”

With that, the matter was settled.

Two days later, Harris Dunn received a phone call from an old friend.

“Theo, your tireless efforts have paid off!”

That’s right, ever since Denise Munni and Richelle Dunn joined forces to oppose Dunn Group’s establishment of a branch factory in Leutonia,

Harris Dunn spent a lot of manpower and financial resources lobbying the decision-makers of United Ventures behind Denise’s back.

For a while, his lobbying efforts had little effect.

He didn’t know what means Denise used to gain the trust of United Ventures’ CEO.

Regardless of how he demonstrated the benefits and advantages of setting up a branch, the CEO was unmoved.

When he picked up the call from his old friend, he was mentally prepared to hear more bad news.

So, he couldn’t quite believe what his friend told him.

“You mean, the CEO agreed?”

His friend replied, “Not yet, but he took your proposal along with a few others. Based on my experience, the likelihood of him passing your proposal is very high.”

Harris Dunn had always been cautious, and he believed that there must be a reason for this change.

“Why the sudden change? Honestly, I’ve started to lose hope.”

It was inevitable to feel disheartened after having the same proposal rejected three times.

His friend continued.

“The CEO plans to increase the investment budget by more than 10% in the second half of the year. However, our company’s cash flow is not enough to support this increase, so we need to generate revenue from existing investment projects. And your company’s proposal is undoubtedly the most attractive one!”

Harris Dunn finally let go of his worries, “Thank you for always mentioning me in front of your CEO. Once the matter is settled, I will treat you to a meal.”

Although he said he’d treat him to a meal, it was just a polite gesture. In reality, Harris Dunn would surely give his friend generous benefits.

Neither of them needed to clarify this too much.

They both understood!

On Friday, Richelle Dunn and Denise Munni, as usual, took private jet of the Lewis family to the Dunn Group.

People of the Dunn Group had long been accustomed to the grandeur of Richelle, this minor shareholder.

Moreover, everyone in the company knew that she was actually the rightful Princess of the Dunn Group.

They also knew that she was now the CEO of the Lewis Group, the number one conglomerate in the Federation.

As a result, everyone in the whole Dunn Group treated her with utmost respect.

This respect was partly genuine, given Richelle’s identity as a member of the Dunn family.

But for the most part, it was due to her status as CEO of the Lewis Group.

Naturally, Denise Munni also received some flattery at the Dunn Group.

However, compared to the near-abject submission this flattery exhibited towards Richelle, it was a world of difference.

“Wow, being with you, I feel like I have to hold my head up high to match my noble status.”

Richelle smiled, “So, will you eat an extra bowl of rice tonight because of this?”

Denise clicked her tongue, “How could I? I’m on a diet recently.”

Richelle laughed, “Well, that’s why. There’s really nothing to be happy about, it’s not like you’ll gain a few pounds because of this.”

Denise pointed at her, “Your stupidity is appalling.”

The two of them chatted and laughed their way into the conference hall, seemingly oblivious to the major events awaiting them.

Watching Richelle, Harris Dunn sneered in his heart.

“Laugh on! Let’s see how long you can still laugh, and how long you can still jump around!”

In fact, when Richelle first took over as the interim CEO of the Lewis Group, Harris Dunn often had sleepless nights.

At that time, he was genuinely afraid that Richelle would use her power in the Lewis Group to suppress the Dunn Group, or even maliciously acquire it using the Lewis Group’s funds.

But Richelle, that fool, remained inactive after assuming her position.

Back then, Harris Dunn thought that she was probably struggling in the Lewis Group herself and couldn’t even worry about the Dunn Group.

As a result, he had a slightly reassuring period of time.

It wasn’t until Mr. Lewis held a grand banquet and publicly announced that Richelle would inherit all of Roy Lewis’s assets and formally take up the position of CEO of the Lewis Group that Harris Dunn started to worry again.

He wasn’t sure how many shares Roy Lewis held in the Lewis Group.

But one fact was clear: Roy Lewis’s shares combined with those of his three children made them the largest shareholder in the Lewis Group.

Before, Harris Dunn was already uneasy about the powerless and resourceless Richelle.

Now, with Richelle having enough financial and substantive power to crush the Dunn Group, he naturally felt even more like he was standing within a hunter’s shooting range.

He didn’t know when the hunter would shoot, and when he would fall.

Yet his worries didn’t materialize as they had before, and he gradually relaxed a bit.

Richelle, that fool, was just too inexperienced after all!
