Chapter 220 I Wanted to Take Down the Everlasting Orient Fund The two left the classroom. Someone saw Greyson and Bertha walking side by side, and the teasing started again. However, Bertha simply ignored all these idle talks. The two arrived at a café near the school and ordered two cups of coffee. Greyson asked, “What do you want to say?” Bertha said, “Among the stocks we have laid out, there is intervention from Everlasting Orient’s fund.” “I knew it!” Unexpectedly, Greyson responded casually. Bertha looked surprised, but she quickly recovered Most of the information Paloma used to arrange the work was provided by Greyson, who should have analyzed it a long time ago. There were many stocks with overt and covert manipulators, and even some lurking institutions and speculators, all of which needed to be clarified before intervention. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know who your opponent was. How would you play? “I wanted to take down this Everlasting Orient fund.” Bertha solemnly sought Greyson’s opinion. Greyson took a sip of coffee, his gaze fixed on the other person. “You had to consult Paloma about this issue, you couldn’t by pa ss the hierarchy.” She was Paloma’s assistant, she couldn’t break this rule herself. Bertha hummed in agreement, “I will talk to Ms. Frazier,” she said. “I just couldn’t fully ascertain which stocks Everlasting Orient had participated in at the moment?” “He kept insisting that he only engaged in value investing and didn’t manipulate stock prices. I didn’t believe his nonsense at all.” Greyson laughed, “You wouldn’t tell the truth to others if you were in this situation either.” “Fine, if I lose, then I don’t want the three billion either.”
Hearing Bertha’s words, Greyson was taken aback. Bertha indeed was a person with a temper. Her courage was unmatched by other girls. What does thirty billion represent? It’s probably a concept that many people wouldn’t dare to imagine in dozens of lifetimes. Some people had a few tens of thousands of dollars in their hands and thought they were awesome. I was like the best in the world.
On the contrary, it was the truly wealthy people who were humble. Greyson said, “You can do it, but you can’t be impulsive.” Bertha nodded, “Of course not, I am now part of the company, I still need to consider the bigger picture.” She looked at Greyson, “Aren’t you going to ask why? Why I targeted the Everlasting Orient Fund?” Greyson chuckled, “Your expression tells me he has a grudge against you. It’s a personal vendetta between you two, why should I ask?” Bertha paused, “You knew everything?” Greyson laughed without a word, his eyes now able to see through everything. How could Bertha possibly hide anything from him? As long as he was willing, he could even know a mole on Bertha’s body like the back of his hand. Of course, for Bertha to take down Everlasting Orient, she needed divine assistance from someone. She wanted to understand the warehouse position and dynamics of Everlasting Orient. Truly achieving the knowledge of both oneself and the enemy, one would be invincible in a hundred battles. As the two were discussing the matter, two girls were approaching from another direction, they were about to pay the bill. Seeing Greyson and his companion there, she was taken aback. Greyson had also seen her, “Hey, Lillian, come over here.” Lillian had intended to avoid him, but to her surprise, Greyson greeted her, leaving her no choice but to
approach him bravely. Bertha hadn’t expected that Greyson also knew Lillian. She hadn’t known Lillian before, but she had seen her picture on the school forum. Besides, Lillian was so adorable and came from such a prominent family that it was hard not to draw attention. It was just strange to Bertha, how could Greyson have any connection with Lillian? Seeing Lillian coming over, Greyson called out, “Let me introduce you.” “No introduction needed!” Unexpectedly, Bertha and Lillian said in unison. “You guys…” Really? Greyson was also staring at the two in astonishment. He knew that Lillian had learned about Bertha, but the two had never formally met. But Bertha shouldn’t have known Lillian. Bertha stood up, extending her hand towards her, “Hello, junior!” Lillian looked at Bertha in front of her, “I know you too, you are senior Bertha.” “Yes, yes!” Greyson looked at the two and laughed, “Sit down!” Then he asked Lillian and another girl, “What would you like to drink?” “Whatever!” Greyson was somewhat overwhelmed, a common problem with girls. Greeting the two to sit down, Greyson waved his hand, “Waiter, two cups of coffee, please!” Although the coffee here was not of high quality, it was very popular among students. Greyson ordered two lattes for them. “Just now, Bertha and I were discussing something here, and we were about to look for you.”
He said to Lillian. Lillian looked at Bertha, “Did you need something, senior?” Bertha changed the subject, “How did you two meet?” Now she was more curious about this issue. Lillian hadn’t expected Bertha to be so nosy, she really didn’t know how to answer this question. Fortunately, Greyson solved this problem for her in time, “I knew her father, Mr. Hyde, and also helped Mr. Hyde with some antique-related issues.” Bertha’s eyes widened even more, antiques? She really didn’t know that Greyson had this ability. What was even more impressive was that he actually knew Raymond. Although in many people’s eyes, Bertha was an unattainable existence. The daughter of the CEO of a listed company, with a family wealth of tens of billions. But in the business circle, they couldn’t even reach the level of the Finn family or the Oak family, let alone the existence of families like the Frazier family or the Hyde family. Why had Bertha worked so hard? Because only those who entered this circle knew how big the world was. Greyson actually had connections with Raymond, which inevitably shocked her. After hearing Greyson’s words, Lillian obediently nodded, “Hmm.” “It was still early, so let’s have a coffee first, and have dinner together in the evening!” Seeing that there were outsiders present, Greyson didn’t bring up work. The girl next to Lillian was probably her classmate, sporting a student haircut. She wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she wasn’t ugly either. After finishing this cup of coffee, she might have felt that she couldn’t fit into this group, and took the initiative to suggest going back to the dormitory. Because she also sensed that the boy in front of her, as well as Bertha, had extraordinary identities. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
If it had been a usual day, Greyson would have definitely insisted on staying, after all, having a meal together wasn’t a big deal. When it came to work and confidentiality, a few polite remarks were made and that was it. The three people found a nice restaurant in the Higher Education Park and booked a private room. To set the mood, Greyson had ordered another bottle of red wine. After the dishes were served, Greyson formally introduced, “You might not know each other’s identities yet, it was inconvenient for me to reveal earlier as there were outsiders present.” “Now let me formally introduce you to Lillian, Bertha. She is now also part of our company, responsible for some of the stock market investment projects.” Lillian nodded, so that’s how it was! Then Greyson introduced, “Lillian is the head of our company’s intelligence department. Don’t underestimate her, she is a super genius.” Upon hearing this, Bertha’s mouth fell open, “The intelligence department?” Suddenly, she associated those business war dramas from the TV series in her mind. No matter when, intelligence was extremely important. Unexpectedly, Lillian turned out to be of this identity. Just how big of a scheme had this guy Greyson set up? I had always thought I knew him well, but it turned out I only saw the tip of the iceberg. Of course, she knew that if she wanted to deal with Everlasting Orient, she couldn’t do without Lillian, such an important intelligence agency.
