Chapter 135
Seeing that Renee refused to give up, Stefan didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He just turned around and left with a cold
expression on his face.
When he returned to the very center of the summit forum, he instantly caught everyone’s attention. Stefan turned his head
slightly, speaking to Elijah who was standing behind him. ” Inform Wyatt Haughey to publicly announce that the summit will be
blacklisting Azure Group. All companies, and I mean all companies, are banned from partnering with them!”
Not only did the annual Global Technology Summit provide the top companies a platform to promote their products, the most
important section within the summit was the forum. With big shots from different countries gathered in one place, they would all
discuss the future development of the industry, similar to a conference meeting.
As the CEO of H Group, Stefan’s electronics company accounted for seventy-five percent of the market, so he was definitely
considered the most powerful of them all.
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.” Elijah gulped, replying carefully, “There’s a rumor circulating that Wyatt Haughey won’t be re-
elected this year, so he might not have the power to publicly announce which company he wishes to blacklist.” (1)
Wyatt had been the president of the Electronics Technology Association for years, so his
position granted him quite a significant amount of power as well.
All companies had to request for approval from the association before joining the industry, and the president was the official
spokesman of the association. Hence, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that one word from the president would be able to
determine one’s fate within the industry.
For the past few years, the president of the association had always been Wyatt, who had been trained by Stefan himself. This
was why H Group could receive so many permits within the field. If there had been an election within the association this year,
Wyatt would have definitely
been re-elected, logically speaking.
Elijah’s words made Stefan narrow his eyes. “He won’t be re-elected?
“Yes.” Elijah nodded and explained, “There were many big shots who were in the running for president in the association, and
Wyatt just seemed rather average compared to them, even with H Group backing him. However, it is rumored that the newly
appointed president is much more powerful, as they had received a vote from Mr. Y himself. That’s how they were able to
win against their rivals, and emerge as the new president.”
“So that guy came to join in on the fun too.” Stefan raised an eyebrow, pondering to himself.
Normally, all the most powerful figures within the business field would cast their votes to support the candidate they wished to
have as president.
Mr. V was able to become a legend within the industry through his great intelligence and abilities. With that, he had earned
himself the power to make the decisive vote regarding the presidential elections in the association. Despite that, Mr. Y had
always been quite mysterious, and had never involved himself in any past elections. He had also been rather low-key for the
past couple of years, and no one knew where he had disappeared off to.
Why is he so active this year?’ Stefan thought, unable to hide his curiosity towards the newly appointed president.
Elijah then continued. “Don’t worry, Mr. Hunt. No matter who the new president is, I’m sure they’d know what to do. If you intend
to blacklist Azure Group, surely they wouldn’t try to go against your wishes. I’ll pass on your message to the new president later.
Today marks the day Azure Group meets their demise!”
Elijah knew exactly why Stefan was so resentful towards that company. Not only had his ex- wife established this company with
her ‘affair partner’, they had even stolen H Group’s biggest client. ‘If I was Mr. Hunt, I’d make both of them go bankrupt!
Blacklisting their company is just too light of a punishment!”
As the forum officially started, the hall was completely silent.
After Stefan made his opening speech, the emcee announced with excitement, “As you all know, recently, our association had
our presidential elections. So, it’s my greatest honor to welcome our new president to the stage!”
