Chapter 300
Back at the clothing store, Phoebe had bought clothes and was waiting for him. When she saw him
coming back, she came to him with a smile and said, "Finished?"
Tom nodded and explained, "Phoebe, there is nothing between Amelia and me. You mustn't..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Phoebe gently put her hand on his mouth and said with a smile,
"No, no. I trust you."
Tom was stunned and said in disbelief, "Phoebe, why do you trust me so much?"
Phoebe's trust made him uneasy. Amelia was also a top-quality beauty, and her every smile was
seductive. It was difficult for a man to resist Amelia.
Phoebe said, "Why not? After four years of marriage, we sleep in the same room every day. You've
never crossed the line. Is there anyone in this world that can hold back his desire more times than you
did?"
Uh...
Tom was speechless and felt strange. Was Phoebe praising him or insulting him?
However, since Phoebe trusted him, he had nothing to worry about. Anyway, he had a clear
conscience.
After that, they shopped for a while and returned to Dragon Bay. Because Phoebe got her period, Tom
couldn't help but hold Phoebe in his arms and sleep although he was very lustful.
The next day, they got up early and went to resume their matrimonial relations.
When he went to ZQ Inc, Tom held a meeting of high management and asked the management of the
company to report to him the current progress of the company and how the financial income was.
Now, ZQ's market value exceeded 8 billion. It was a lot. Every month's profits were very good, and all
the shareholders had made a good profit.
All of them knew very well that Tom deserved at least 80% of the credit for ZQ Media's success. Tom
had made many good decisions, which not only made ZQ run forward but also made it become bigger
and bigger after avoiding several crises.
They believed that under the leadership of the chairman, ZQ Media would definitely do better and
better, and even be likely to become the largest media company in the country!
Looking at the chairman in the main seat, they did not hide their admiration and reverence for him.
Everyone reported their work and waited for the chairman to speak.
However, what Tom said next shocked all of them.
"ZQ Media has reached a bottleneck in its development. It might suffer from the joint strangulation of
many of our peers. Now stop and sell 30% of the shares in your hands for a reshuffle. We will be facing C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
a tough battle, and everyone should be prepared for it."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What happened? ZQ Media was doing well, and its market value
was rising every day. How could this be a bottleneck? Many professionals analyzed that ZQ Media's
market value could reach at least 12 billion.
Now, Tom's decision was obviously to tie himself up and cripple himself.
So the conference room was quiet for half a minute. Almost everyone was puzzled and dissatisfied with
Tom's decision, but they did not dare to refute it immediately because Tom's pressure was too great.
Tom, who was standing there, was like a mountain, pressing them down so hard that they couldn't
breathe.
Finally, a senior manager of finance and the stock market raised a question and said in a cautious tone,
"Boss, according to my experience, the company is still growing. More than 90% of the projects are
under our control, and we are constantly creating value for the company. We also get along well with
our peers. Forgive me for my ignorance, but in the current situation, shouldn't we increase the scale of
development? Why are we selling stocks and stopping expansion?"
The other manager also said, "Yes, I don't understand very well. Is there a problem in the process?"
Tom had long expected that these people would object. After all, not everyone could reach his level
where he got a breakthrough in his IQ. It was no exaggeration to say that he was learning at least ten
times faster than ordinary people. He could solve many difficult math problems quickly. He was more
accurate and farsighted about the future of the company.
He didn't bother to explain but said, "I know what I am doing. Just do what I said."
Many people wanted to refute, but when they saw the expressionless Tom, they did not have the
courage to do so.
Although they were in high management and were shareholders, ZQ Media was actually owned by
Tom alone. Tom held 60% of the shares and had absolute power.
After a pause, Tom added, "There's one more thing. I plan to establish a security company, which will
mainly offer services for the rich. Anyone who wants to invest can apply to me. The deadline is within
half a month. I won't wait."
Hearing Tom's words, everyone was even more surprised, and many people even began to discuss it
in a low voice.
"Did I hear it right? The chairman wants to set up a security company? This is not easy to do. There
are too many big shots in this trade."
"Right! The security company needs a strong network and professional reserves of bodyguards. We've
always been in the field of entertainment media. They are two totally different fields. How can we do
this?"
"Is the chairman joking?"
"I don't think so. The chair is taking a huge step. He just set up a new advertising company not long
ago. Now he wants to set up a security company. What on earth does he want?"
"In my opinion, the chairman became conceited because of his achievements in ZQ Media..."
"It's possible. After all the chairman is not yet thirty this year. It's normal for him to be conceited."
They thought Tom couldn't hear them since their voice was so low, but in fact, Tom heard all of them.
However, he was not angry. He was not that petty. With his current strength, there were very few
people who could keep up with him. He did not need to explain to ordinary people at all. All he wanted
was nothing but for them to carry out orders.
Elliot's eyes flashed as well. For the first time, he doubted Tom's two decisions. He planned to ask Tom
personally after the meeting.
"Since everyone has no objections, the meeting is adjourned. Just do as I say." Tom stood up, then put
his hands on the conference table, leaned over, and his eyes swept across everyone's faces. "I don't
like people agreeing to my face but acting the contrary. Once I find out, I won't be merciful.
Understand?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"We will carry out your instructions firmly!"
"We won't go against your decisions. In fact, I think your decisions are very good."
"Yes, I firmly support you..."
Tom nodded with satisfaction and walked out of the conference room.
After he left, more than 30 executives in the conference room breathed a sigh of relief and began to
breathe. The pressure Tom had put on them just now was too much.
They couldn't figure out why Tom had such a strong aura at such a young age. They were all
intimidated although they were older than him.
