Chapter 1107

Thus, many capitalists exploited this weakness to plunder technical resources in order to expand their

own businesses. At the same time, they would limit the company’s domestic development while killingnovelbin

off 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 family

business, but more importantly, he had his personal aspirations.

Cameron and Emery had mentioned many times that Ashton was no ordinary talent. Under his

management, Fuller Corporation would expand internationally sooner or later. Indeed, it took just five

years for him to move the company headquarters to K City. As expected, there was more development

in 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, the

farther his goal would be.

Of course, like what Ashton had said, plenty of uninvited guests would come knocking when a

company reached a certain scale. GW was the best example here. In order to open up the Aploth

market, they humbled themselves before Fuller Corporation and practically presented funds to them

with their own bare hands. While GW would rely on Fuller Corporation in order to develop in the Aploth

construction 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 understandably

grim 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 working

away, 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 happened

between secretaries and their bosses. Those lecherous bosses usually deployed subtle tricks to take

advantage 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 down

whilst 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 by

the 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 his

face as well as he said blankly, “Joseph reported some problems during our video conference this

afternoon. 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 throwing

themselves at him. Some could only flaunt their looks, while those who lacked in the looks department

made up for it with their business acumen. Finally, there were also those beautiful girls with strong

family backgrounds. However, Ashton probably did not even remember their faces. When it came to his

staff, 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 to

have a private chat with Joseph later and have him come back earlier.
