James was an absolute activist. He said he was going to the Abbot’s and he immediately found an excuse.
The Abbots was now running a pharmaceutical factory and was seeking investment because of the bad business.
James was not lacking money.
Donald followed James to the Abbot’s.
When they arrived at the Abbot’s, Kason personally welcomed them. Seeing that Kason was in good spirits, Donald and James were somewhat surprised.
Kason was fifty years old this year, but he looked young as if he was in his thirties or forties.
He had an ordinary appearance, a square face, thick eyebrows, and a pair of sincere eyes which made him look reliable.
Donald couldn’t help thinking in his heart, ‘Do the Abbots really have elixirs?’
“Donald, long time no see. This must be Mr. James you mentioned. Mr. James, welcome.” Kason was hospitable.
James was calm. He politely reached out and was about to shake hands with Kason.
Kason was stunned. He glanced at James and then his gaze fell on James’s hand. James was wearing gloves, and Kason seemed to think of something.
Finally, Kason did not shake hands with James. Instead, he made tea for James and smiled amiably.
“Are you thirsty? I’ll serve you some tea.”
James and Donald glanced at each other.
“The tea tastes quite good. Mr. Kason, my friend has ever wanted to enter the pharmaceutical industry, so I brought him to visit you.”
“The medicine produced by our Abbot family must be safe, environmental-friendly, and in line with the policy. Mr. James, since you are willing to come and see it personally, you are really attentive.”
The review process of the pharmaceutical industry was very strict. Not any company could do as they wished.
“Yes.” James was indifferent.
Kason felt that he was being disliked and looked at Donald in confusion.
Donald rubbed his nose awkwardly and explained to Kason in a low voice.
“Mr. Kason, my friend has a weird temper. That’s how he treats people. Please be more understanding.”
As Donald spoke, he glanced at Kason’s teacup.
“So that’s the case. It’s fine. I think Mr. James has quite the character.”
Kason sized up James from head to toe. James was sitting straight with an arrogant expression and his movements captured the elegance. It was clear that his status was not low.
For some reason, Kason felt that James’s face looked a little familiar.
In fact, James looked a bit like Vivian. In order to disguise himself, he had put on some makeup. When he found that Kason was staring at him, he frowned slightly.
“Cut the crap. Let’s get down to business.”
James was impatient and his attitude was arrogant.
Donald was speechless.
He twitched his mouth and thought, ‘Is James out of his mind?’
Kason did not waste time. He took out various certifications, including the qualification certificate of the factory under the Abbot family. And then, he talked about a lot of his ideas about pharmaceutics.
Kason emphasized that the purpose of making medicine was for people’s lives and he sold it at a relatively low price. It was not for money, but goodwill.
James listened quietly and sneered in his heart.
He thought, ‘Every person can say such high-sounding words.’
As Donald picked up the teacup and took a sip, James also expressionlessly picked up the teacup. However, he did not drink tea but secretly cast a glance at Donald.
Donald raised his eyebrows and understood James’s meaning. He stood up to tell Kason that he wanted to go to the bathroom. Kason asked a servant to lead Donald.
James stared at the servant’s walking posture and his mouth twitched a little.
“Mr. James, I wonder how much you’re planning to invest in the pharmaceutical industry?”
James withdrew his gaze and said, “Five billion. I’m worried about an elder of mine who is getting older and older. I want to find some medicine to help her live longer.”
Five billion was not a small amount.
Kason’s eyes lit up and he once again seriously sized James up.
He thought, ‘He is a man of few words, his expression is arrogant, and his aura is strong. It might really be possible for him to offer five billion.’
Kason thought about it for a while and was about to speak when his phone rang.
“Mr. James, I’m really sorry. I need to answer a call.”
“Never mind.”
James remained indifferent.
Seeing Kason walk to the side hall with the phone, James held Kason’s teacup with his gloved hand.
After confirming that Kason’s fingerprints were on the glove, he looked around.
Kason’s living room was simply decorated and there was nothing unusual. James stood up and looked at the painting hanging on the wall. He narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Sorry, let’s continue with the business.” Kason returned, sat down, and continued drinking tea.
After a while, Donald returned and glanced at James. They knew each other’s plans.
After drinking a few cups of tea, James felt that it was about time and got up to leave.
“Mr. James, is there anything else that you are not satisfied with?”
Kason did not get a promise from James and was somewhat unwilling. When he sent them out, he asked again.
“Prepare a financing project. I will let my assistant talk to you,” James replied. As James’s tone was too calm, Kason did not know whether he was perfunctory or he wanted to cooperate.
“Alright. I’m looking forward to the cooperation.”
Kason still wanted to say more, but seeing that James was impatient, he could only send them to the car.
Watching the two leave, Kason narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that James had come with ill intentions, but he could not figure out James’s intentions as James cherished his words like gold.
Five billion was really tempting!
In the car, Donald stared at James’s gloves, deep in thought.
He asked, “Why do you become so annoying when meeting Kason?”
James took off his gloves and placed his elbow beside the car window. His long fingers rubbed his lips and his brown eyes were deep.
“What kind of a person do you think Kason is?”
Donald thought about it seriously. “He is a kind elder, straightforward and sincere. He doesn’t covet benefits when doing business and is good to the people around him.”
James glanced at Donald and put on a mocking smile.
“You are blind. You need treatment.”
“What do you mean?” Donald’s face darkened.
“No matter what, you are a top student and should have learned philosophy and psychology. But you can’t see through his little tricks.”
James leaned against the cushion, his long legs crossed and his posture leisure. His previous arrogance and dominance were gone.
He said, “Kason is cautious, hypocritical, bloodthirsty, and proficient in benefits, but he despises etiquette.
His acting skills are not bad. He pretends to be kind and maybe he is antisocial.”
It was rare for James to say so many words, but Donald did not understand them at all.
“James, why are you jealous of Kason?”
Otherwise, why would he belittle Kason like that?
James continued, “Sure enough, people will publicize what they lack. If you are really kind, will you deliberately emphasize that you are kind enough and will donate your family property to me?”
There must be something wrong with the abnormal!
Donald did not know what to say.
He recalled the scene where he interacted with Kason and frowned. He still did not believe James’s words.
The person James was talking about was completely different from the Kason he knew, and he could not accept it for a moment.
However, James had no enmity with James and Kason, so there must be a reason for his words.
“Where is your evidence?”
“The painting hanging on the wall of his house. From the profile of the painting, Kason is a very dangerous person.”
Donald didn’t believe it. He should know more about painting than James, but why didn’t he see anything?
James gave Donald a profound gaze, with a hint of contempt.
“People are always willing to see what they believe. However, I don’t care about that. I just want to investigate my mother.”
