"Ms. Brooks."

People addressed her politely along her way only to be ignored by her.

She walked to Quincy's office and knocked on her door.

"Who is it?"

Quincy was talking to James. She responded in annoyance, "Can't you see I'm busy here?"

"James, it's me, Scarlett."

They could hear Scarlett's voice from outside, loud and clear.

James grimaced. 'Why is Scarlett here?'

Quincy was initially taken aback. After she exchanged looks with James on the couch, she walked to the door and welcomed her in herself, "Ms. President, welcome. I wonder what brought you here?" Scarlett stepped into her office and stopped right in front of James, "James, why didn't you tell me you're visiting the company? I could've welcomed you myself."

"Well..."

Quincy was dumbfounded.

'What on earth is this?'

'Why is the president of Transgenerational Group addressing James so affectionately?'

'Who really is this guy?'

Scarlett turned to Quincy, who was still in shock, and said coldly, "Ms. Xenos, you're a dedicated worker indeed. Do you really care that much about every worker's progress?"

"I, I... Ms. Brooks, please let me explain..." Quincy was like a cat on hot bricks. She would have died for a chance to talk this out.

James interrupted them. "Don't worry about it. It's nothing."

"Fine."

Scarlett finally let her go, and reverted back to her respectful tone, "James, I'm sorry about yesterday. It was my fault. I will do my best to follow your wishes the next time around."

"It was a small mistake, don't dwell too much on it. The Callahans were too egoistical, it was time for them to repent anyways."

"Understood."

Scarlett dared not to say anything more.

A million thoughts raced through Quincy's mind.

She really could not make heads or tails of this guy.

"Oh right," James spoke, "What are the companies that launched their campaigns against Transgenerational Group?"

Scarlett glared at Quincy, and hissed at her, "What are you waiting for? Report our the company's status to James right now."

Quincy was beyond terrified and puzzled simultaneously.

Since the president had asked her personally, she had to provide a reply. She quickly answered, "There are a few companies that have been targeting us recently. They are Infinite Commerce, The Five Provinces Alliance, and some other enterprises. Our company has been losing money every day. The funding left in the company account is running low. Currently, our company is focusing on creating businesses that are related to people's livelihoods..."

Quincy reported in a concise, professional manner.

James took it all in.

It was all unfolding as he had expected

Quincy carried on with her report. "The influential families in the capital collaborated to buy a piece of land in suburban Cansington. They intend to build a new city."

"Right now, many enterprises have plans to infiltrate Transgenerational New City. They are all observing the situation currently."

"I see."

James nodded. "Later, I will transfer one trillion to the company account. Do whatever you need to do. We're not aiming to profit for the time being. I want to build a true business enterprise."

"O-one trillion?!"

Both Scarlett and Quincy were stunned.

James smirked, and turned to Quincy smugly. "If you fail to utilize this one trillion effectively, you should prepare for your early retirement."

Quincy nodded affirmatively. "Yes, yes, understood!"

Scarlett said respectively, "James, I won't bother you any further. I'll go back to my work."

James waved his hand dismissively, "Go, then."

Only after Scarlett had left, Quincy responded sharply to James, "Y-You were the hidden boss behind Transgenerational Group all along?! Scarlett was just a puppet that follows your orders?! Who the hell are you?"

She stared at James with all her might, hoping that it would finally reveal some clue as to his true identity.
