President’s Twins: Buy One, Get One Free
Chapter 235: A Glorious Rise after Three Years

Looking at the grinning smile on Samuel's face, Viola cursed "country bumpkin" inwardly, but she put on a gentle and admirable smile on her face. "Samuel, according to my knowledge on Hayden, you can't go up like this, you need to be like this..."

Samuel nodded agreeably after hearing Viola's words.

"This is a good idea, if I succeeded, I will get you anything you want."

Viola smiled, "This is a piece of cake for you, isn't it?"

Viola bottomed up the champagne after seeing Samuel leave. She looked vicious, she was bored to death lately, this could bring her some fun.

A voice came from behind soon as she put down her glass.

"Ms. Kidman, it's been a long time."

Viola's back stiffened, and her face changed when she saw the man in a suit behind her.

"What brings you here?"

"Am I not allowed?" The man acted gently but gave out a cunning feeling. "Seems like Ms. Kidman is busy lately, have you not know about Nanking and the change of situation?" Viola's face turned serious, "What do you mean?"

"My new name card, keep in touch?"

A golden name card appeared in front of Viola, the gold foiled letters were outstanding, Viola read, "ST Group CEO Franklin Hawkins... you..."

"I'm such a useless man, it took me three whole years to finally rise again."

Franklin looked cunning, "On the other hand, Ms. Kidman seems unlucky, you are serving even a country bumpkin like Samuel Shawn?"

Viola's face turned white slightly hearing his words, "Just to kill some time."

"Keen to change a venue?" Franklin lifted the corner of his lips and said with a gentle but sharp tone. It was hard to reject.

Viola clenched her fists and forced a smile, "Of course, it's been so long."

Under the moonlight, a silver-grey limousine stopped in front of the hotel, Magnus got down to open the door.

"Mr. Beckham, you have never participated in a small corporation gathering like this, what brings you here tonight?"

"Franklin Hawkins is here, isn't he?"

Joseph tidied up his sleeves and said coldly, "He has finally held the position he dreamt of but still attend to this gathering, you know why?"

Magnus was puzzled, "Why?"

"The group is huge, lots of subsidiary companies can easily declare independence, getting loose from HQ's control. What do you think makes Franklin the CEO so easily?" "Isn't Old Master Beckham appointed him?"

"He needs to be capable even if he was appointed."

Magnus now realized after hearing Joseph's words. He opened his eyes wide, "You mean he has been contacting the subsidiaries all this while?"

Joseph did not reply, both of them arrived at the hall.

Despite being a cocktail party by Shanghai and Nanking clothing corporations, it was grand and full with guests from various field.

They bumped into a few familiar faces at the entrance.

Joseph chat casually with his acquaintances, he signaled Magnus to look for Franklin.

"Mr. Beckham, we didn't expect to see you at such a small party, it's such a pleasure." The organizer came greeting him with a smirk.

All insiders know he was no longer the CEO of ST Group. If he hadn't received the invitation a month ago while he was still the CEO, he won't be invited now.

He was calm. He took a sip of drink to finish up the greeting and start wandering at the hall. He saw a familiar figure after a few steps, someone with a wine-colored dress, like a beautiful rose chatting with others at the resting area. Joseph's sight was attracted.

Didn't expect to see her here, he thought.

Hayden had no idea that there were few pairs of eyes locked on her. She was introducing Green Lemon Clothing's designers' team and their exceptional performance to Mr. Wright enthusiastically. Under Edwina's introduction, they were chatting pleasantly.

Although Green Lemon was not well known in the clothing line, it was an old name with years of experience and stable root. It used to be a subsidiary of Downey Group, but the relation was cut off now. Edwina was a smart person, she spoke only when required, looking at Mr. Wright's reaction, this collaboration had a very high success rate.

"If time permitted, Mr. Wright should make a field trip to Green Lemon to verify what I've told you."

Looking at Hayden's calmness and sincerity, Mr. Wright smiled.

"Ms. Downey does not seem like a newbie in business, my daughter had been my apprentice for few years, but she's still nervous, you are way better compared to my daughter." "I'm flattered."

Hayden smiled modestly.

"I guess Mr. Wright is busy tonight, we shall not take up more of your time."

Mr. Wright left after they greeted each other.

Hayden let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks, Edwina."

"You're welcome." Edwina looked at the clock, "There's something I need to take care of, you can arrange to contact Mr. Wright directly from now on, call me when needed." "Alright."

After seeing Edwina leave, Hayden took a glass of juice from a waiter and had a sip. A familiar face fell into her sight when she raised her head.

She never expected to bump into Joseph Beckham here.

They were not far from each other, people were walking across with glasses. Joseph's sight was locked on her, there was no sign of avoidance nor emotion, he was just looking. Hayden took a step forward unconsciously.

"Ms. Downey from Green Lemon Clothing?"

Someone appeared in front of her, blocking her way and her sight.

Hayden stunned. There was a man in a royal blue suit standing in front of her, the dazzling bright yellow was a bit annoying to one's sight.

She couldn't recall who this person was, "You are?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Samuel Shawn, vice president of Porry Group." Samuel passed her a shiny gold name card, "I've been watching you since your arrival, it seems you are close to Mr. Wright from Joann Group, aren't you?" Hayden had no intention to chat with this playboy looking young man, she simply nodded. "Not close, we've just got to know each other. Excuse me, I need to go there."

Samuel smiled, "Why in a hurry? You are not close with Mr. Wright, but my father is. If you would like to collaborate with him, I can help, I'm sure he will agree."
