Thus, many capitalists exploited this weakness to plunder technical resources in order to expand theirown businesses. At the same time, they would limit the company’s domestic development while killingoff every potential competitor. This was how they fortified their control over the economy.

Clearly, Ashton would never betray Fuller Corporation. This was not only because it was his familybusiness, but more importantly, he had his personal aspirations.

Cameron and Emery had mentioned many times that Ashton was no ordinary talent. Under hismanagement, Fuller Corporation would expand internationally sooner or later. Indeed, it took just fiveyears for him to move the company headquarters to K City. As expected, there was more developmentin the pipeline within their business development plan.

Just like any other man, there was no end to his career aspirations. The more capable he was, thefarther his goal would be.

Of course, like what Ashton had said, plenty of uninvited guests would come knocking when acompany reached a certain scale. GW was the best example here. In order to open up the Aplothmarket, they humbled themselves before Fuller Corporation and practically presented funds to themwith their own bare hands. While GW would rely on Fuller Corporation in order to develop in the Aplothconstruction market, Fuller Corporation would still be their first acquisition target in the end.

Dealing with capitalists was akin to getting blood from a stone. Therefore, Ashton was understandablygrim when the topic of financing came up.

I knew that he had been very worried about it, so I changed the topic after falling silent for a while.Looking at the door, I asked, “Is the project at Moranta completed?”

From where I was, I could see Stella’s cubicle clearly. When I was talking, she was right there workingaway, and I could see her every movement; she would occasionally switch her position between sitting

and standing.

Is this how Ashton and Stella work on a regular basis?

After some time in the corporate world, I had gained some understanding of the things that happenedbetween secretaries and their bosses. Those lecherous bosses usually deployed subtle tricks to takeadvantage of their female staff. Who then arranged this vantage point for Stella and Ashton?

When I took a closer look, Stella was not the particularly attractive type. When she was looking downwhilst working, she looked very obedient. Generally speaking, she just emanated a down-to-earth vibe.

The boy I met in the mall, Justin, looked quite compatible with her. However, she seemed repulsed bythe idea of being with him. Is it because of Ashton?

At this thought, I subconsciously shifted my probing gaze to Ashton.

There was nothing different about him as he sat upright on the sofa. There was no expression on hisface as well as he said blankly, “Joseph reported some problems during our video conference thisafternoon. They will only be able to resume work after the new year.”

“Oh..” I could not help but smile as I saw his almost robotic expression.

After all these years together, I understood him well.

With his good looks and business talent, there was always an unending trail of women throwingthemselves at him. Some could only flaunt their looks, while those who lacked in the looks departmentmade up for it with their business acumen. Finally, there were also those beautiful girls with strongfamily backgrounds. However, Ashton probably did not even remember their faces. When it came to hisstaff, he treated them equally regardless of their genders, and Stella was no exception.

However, this did not erase the possibility of Stella’s continued interest in Ashton. Hence, I decided tohave a private chat with Joseph later and have him come back earlier.
