Chapter 180
Chapter 180
Elliot had been waiting for a long time. Several times, he wanted to rush up and announce who the
board director was. But he had no orders from the board director, so he had to restrain himself, which
made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Elliot was not a man with patience. He watched as the board director was ridiculed by jerks like Martin,
which made him so sad. He felt worse than himself being ridiculed.
Unknowingly, Elliot had become a loyal subordinate of Tom. He had a good eye for people and knew
that Tom was a man who possessed capability and valued friendship. It was his luck to follow such a
boss. He would never be too poor in the future. That's why he was really devoted to it. Now that he
finally got Tom's instructions, he immediately strode out immediately.
Elliot was already a man with a certain position here. As president of ZQ Media, Elliot only ranked
lower than one person. Many people tried to flatter him. Even Blaze and Colton were polite to him.
Elliot's appearance indeed attracted a lot of attention!
At the same time, Malcolm was also very excited. He made his own decision to follow Elliot to the
stage.
Martin's eyes fell on Elliot and Malcolm. When he saw their expressions, he suddenly had a bad feeling
and was nervous!
Colton and the others were also in a daze at this time, staring blankly at Elliot and Malcolm who walked
up the stage together. Now their wits were running out.
As for Rory under the stage, his eyes were fixed...
Elliot and Malcolm looked at each other for a blink, then quickly came out of the crowd, walked up to
the stage, quickly walked to Tom, bowed together, and respectfully shouted, "Board director!"
It was quiet.
The weird silence in the huge banquet hall was purer and longer than before. Elliot and Malcolm's
addressing of "board director" constantly echoed in the minds of people present.
Tom nodded gently and said, "Tell them who I am."
Elliot straightened his back and regained his powerful demeanor. Standing beside Blaze and Colton,
Elliot's demeanor did not get undermined at all. He coughed twice and then said loudly, "You have
always wanted to know who our new board director of ZQ Media is. Many of you have also sent an
invitation to our board director. Our board director has rejected it. Now, let me introduce you that this is
the board director of our ZQ Media. He is standing right beside me!"
After saying this, the whole room was quiet for three seconds, then a deafening sound erupted. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Everyone got so excited and made sounds showing that they were shocked!
Words like 'damn it', 'what the hell', 'my God' were a few among a large sum of other comments.
Indeed, Tom's identity to them was really shocking. The powerful influence it brought was no less than
that of a bomb!
At that moment, Martin's eyes were wide open. His head was blank and he was trembling. His hands
and feet became cold!
Tom turned out to be the mysterious board director of ZQ Media? This damn... Why did Martin feel like
he was dreaming?
Rory, on the other hand, was no better than him. Now Rory was completely stunned. The goblet fell to
the ground with a bang.
The news was both a surprise and a nightmare to him.
Board director of ZQ Media, whom he couldn't possibly afford to offend.
Suddenly, Rory understood a lot of things, like why was he rejected when he first invited the board
director of ZQ Group to dinner when he just returned to his home country, why the business that
TengPhoebe Group and ZQ Media had worked together for so long was cut off. Those were all
because of Tom!
But why was it like this? Wasn't Tom just the son-in-law of the Scotts? He had investigated it clearly,
and why Tom became the superior chairman of ZQ Group!
He couldn't figure it out and felt so bad that he wanted to vomit.
He was not the only one with similar questions. It could be said that 99. 9 % of the people present
shared the same doubt.
Martin's legs became weak and he staggered back. The person next to him did not hold him in time. He
sat on the ground and kept saying, "Impossible...".
As for Colton, his eyes were wide open, as if he had seen a ghost. He stared at Tom in disbelief. Even
he seemed to be calm, he actually felt panic and his brain was blank, unable to take reaction to the
scene at all.
It was not because Colton was not resilient enough to bad news, but because the more he got to a high
position, the more he knew about the absurdity of this matter. Why is a tycoon with several billion
dollars of capital willing to be the Scotts's son-in-law in a matrilocal manner? It was simply unscientific
and unreasonable!
All of a sudden, Colton even suspected that it was just an act played together by Elliot. However, the
suspicion was overturned by him in less than a second. First of all, he knew Elliot, who could not
possibly do so according to his character and status! Besides, the admiration and awe showed in
Elliot's eyes just now was not fake.
Besides, there was another Malcolm...
So in a short time, Colton had accepted the fact that Tom was the chairman of ZQ Inc. But this fact was
really hard for him to get comfortable with!
Kaylie was the least shocked one. She was only stunned for a while and soon came to her senses.
Since Tom had long left a powerful impression in her mind, it didn't seem strange to her even though
Tom was the chairman of ZQ Inc.
What's more, she also felt something for Tom. It was a thrill to her to find out that Tom was the
chairman of ZQ Inc. She blushed and had a strong passion for Tom. She was even eager to jump into
Tom's arms...
Fortunately, she held her passion back.
Tom took a step forward, stood in front of the stage. He swept across everyone. At this moment, even
though he wore a cheap suit, no one dared to look down on him. There was only unlimited awe and
flattery in the gazes under the stage.
"I am indeed the chairman of ZQ Inc. I don't care if you believe me or not." Tom said calmly, but
forcefully, "Kaylie is my good friend. After tonight, those who dare to slander Kaylie and speak ill of her
should be careful. You'd better not let me hear it. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
Tom's words were too tough, which immediately brought about a lot of dissatisfaction. Who cared if you
were the chairman of ZQ Inc? No matter how rich you were, you were only a businessman, so were
we. Do you have the guts to fight against us?
Many people were not convinced, but they didn't show it.
Even Elliot felt that the chairman was slightly causing a bad stir.
Rory immediately said with disdain. His voice was not loud but it had just reached Tom's ears. Rory
sneered, "Damn! Who cares if you're the chairman of ZQ Inc? Can you make yourself an enemy of us
all? What a joke!"
In an instant, Tom heard what he said, looked over, and smiled. Tom said, "Rory, I almost forgot you if
you did not utter. Chou, give him two slaps for me."
"Yes, Mr. Howard!"
Mr. Potter, who stood out from the crowd, suddenly spoke and bowed respectfully to Tom standing on
the stage. Then Mr. Potter turned around and slapped Rory in the face. He was so strong that Rory
was slapped out and got bumped into the crowd...
