"The monthly Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square Aden Square There were more than 30 people sitting in a large conference hall. A middle-aged man with neatly combed hair stood up and said loudly. Two servants went up and distributed a stack of white lists in front of everyone.
Most of the people sitting in the conference hall were men. They were all dressed luxuriously, and one could tell that they were wearing expensive accessories. Any one of them was a big shot in the Aden Square, and a core member of the Aden Chamber of Commerce.
However, at this moment, they were all sitting in silence, quietly listening to the middle-aged man speak.
There was a woman in a bright red dress sitting in the corner. Her lips were flaming red, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. She looked at this scene with a hint of mockery, but she just sat there quietly and didn't say anything. A coin that was half dragon coin and half gold coin was seamlessly twirling at her fingertips.
At the head of the table, a thin old man with a somewhat old-fashioned expression sat beside the middle-aged man. He was wearing a grey-white long-sleeved shirt that was buttoned up meticulously. His sparse white hair was neatly combed to the back of his head. The shape of the white beard on his chin was a little strange. The lower end of the beard was not naturally pointed, but had been cut flat in the middle. Therefore, the shape of his face was a little square and looked even more old-fashioned.
"President, do you have any other instructions?" The middle-aged man bowed and asked humbly.
Everyone looked at the old man with respect and awe.
Geoffrey Moreton was the founder of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. Back then, he joined forces with the Buffett Family, the Dodges Family, and the Marquis Family to establish the Aden Chamber of Commerce. After more than 50 years of development, it became a famous chamber of commerce on the entire continent. The Family Moreton was also very famous on the Norland Continent. They held a dominant position in the spice market, as well as in the food and cloth market. Their business territory had long encompassed the entire Norland Continent.
"What are you doing here?" Geoffrey ignored the middle-aged man's question. He looked up at the woman in the red dress sitting in the corner. Even though his face was expressionless, one could tell from his sharp gaze that he was a little displeased.
Everyone couldn't help but look at the woman. Her bright red dress made her very conspicuous in the conference hall, especially when there was only one woman in the room.
She looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years old. Her wavy brown hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her appearance was quite beautiful, but her pair of eyebrows were raised like two small knives. She did not appear delicate, but instead gave off a strong feeling.
She didn't need any makeup on her tender white face, but her lips were bright red, just like the red dress she was wearing. It was a stark contrast to her snow-white skin, making it hard for people to forget her face and her sexy red lips with just one glance.
No one looked at her with disdain in their eyes even though Geoffrey had called her out. Instead, they were all waiting for her response.
Hill Buffett held the coin between her fingers. She looked up at Geoffrey without any hint of fear or fear on her face. She smiled, and said, "President Geoffrey, as the representative of the Buffett Family, why can't I attend a board meeting of the Aden Chamber of Commerce? Our three major families generally don't excessively participate in the decisions of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, but we can't forget that we're also founders of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. "
Hill Hill's voice was very calm, but there was a sharp glint in her eyes as she looked at Geoffrey. Their age gap didn't inspire any fear or respect in her.
The entire conference room fell deathly silent. No one dared to make a sound.
The leader of the Buffett Family was also one of the founders of the Aden Chamber of Commerce. The Buffett Family's half-gold, half-dragon insignia could be found all over the Norland Continent. Anyone with a deposit certificate from the Buffett Family could withdraw all of their money from any Buffett Bank on the continent. This greatly reduced the amount of trouble and danger that merchants had to face when carrying large amounts of cash. Even the ruling class of all races had guaranteed the safety of the Buffett Bank, and it was undoubtedly the number one bank in the world.
Miss Hill Buffett wasn't just a pretty face. She had been in and out of the bank since she was three years old. By the time she was six years old, she had become an accountant in a bank, and by the time she was 10 years old, she had opened her first bank.
On the day of her 18th birthday, the leader of the Buffett Family announced that Miss Hill Buffett would be the first in line to inherit the Buffett Family as the eldest daughter of the third generation of the Buffett Family.
While the Buffett Family's decision seemed absurd to the outside world, the Buffett Family was exceptionally calm internally. Ian Buffett began to take a back seat, and the transfer of power within the family was proceeding in an orderly manner. Everyone began to cooperate with Hill to become the helmsman of the Buffett Family.
Those who were paying attention to the Buffett Family weren't surprised by this. Miss Hill's sudden appearance had accelerated the Buffett Bank, which had been sailing steadily for decades. Her personal savings model had broken the Buffett Bank's sole function of depositing and withdrawing money from other places.
The stable monthly interest rate had attracted many ordinary people to deposit their excess cash in Buffett Banks. It was convenient and fast to withdraw cash at any time, and Buffett Banks had gained a large amount of savings just by relying on this method. It had largely solved the high costs and risks of transferring gold coins from one place to another.
"Miss Hill is a genius." This was the only comment Ian Buffett had made about Miss Hill. This alone was enough to establish her position in the Buffett Family.
To the directors present, Miss Hill's reputation and status was still somewhat inferior to Geoffrey's. However, at the age of 18, she had limitless possibilities. The Buffett Family's giant wheel was still accelerating, and in the next few decades, she could stand at the top of the business world. How long did Geoffrey have left? He didn't even have a qualified successor.
"Choosing a little girl to take the helm? That old man Ian must have fished too much. His brain must have been eaten by the fish." Geoffrey's mood didn't change in the slightest because of Miss Hill's provocative words. He reached for the black cane on the table and stood up. There was a trace of disdain in his voice as he turned and walked towards the door.
The directors present all stood up to show their respect for his departure.
