NovelEnglishChapter 77 The Gardner Group’s Project
Five years later.
In the conference room of the Tapia Group.
Almost all the shareholders of the Tapia Group were present. Each person held a proposal in their hands. When they looked at
this proposal, they were all astonished.
Everyone was talking about it in disbelief.
Beside Giancarlo sat his two capable assistants, Owen and Jimmy. The latter had been promoted in recent
years.
At that moment, Jimmy was reporting the basics of this project to everyone.
“At the foot of Tulip Mountain is a piece of land, covering an area of 405 acres. It has been used to develop. The proposal in your
hands is the development project planned to be carried out in this place.”
Sitting next to Giancarlo was Aaron. His face was a little gloomy, as if he was very displeased.
As soon as Jimmy finished speaking, Aaron directly said, “I’m against the investment in this project. If it is used to build a resort,
it will definitely be very profitable. But if it’s planned to develop in real estate, it will be very unfavorable for the development of
the Tapia Group.”
The moment Aaron opposed it, everyone present looked at the man who had been silent all this time.
At that moment, Giancarlo was wearing a black suit and looked down. He seemed to casually place one hand on the table, but
he looked intimidating.
Everyone present wondered what Giancarlo was thinking about.
In the past few years, Giancarlo had become more and more reserved, making it impossible for others to
know him.
In the past, they just thought that Giancarlo was cold and hard to approach, but now they felt scared..
After Aaron finished speaking for a long time, Giancarlo did not answer. The room fell into a weird silence, and the others did not
dare to casually speak.
He said slowly, “Aaron, come home for dinner on Saturday. Yoselin made the food you like.”
The shareholders all felt confused.
Was it time to talk about dinner?
But no one dared to ask.
Even Aaron had to be cautious because he couldn’t figure out what Giancarlo was thinking. Aaron cleared his throat and smiled.
“Giancarlo, I opposed it not because I targeted you. It is due to the problem with the funds..
If this project was to be started, It would be impossible to make it without 1.5 billion dollars.”
He sighed helplessly. “Moreover, It is relatively remote, and It will not be easy to develop in the future. If the houses are built over
there, how can they be sold?”
Many people nodded in agreement with this point of view.
Giancarlo leaned forward slightly and placed his other hand on the table.
He seemed to be casually tapping his finger on the table and said indifferently, “Well, Is there anyone who has a different
opinion?”
His gaze fell on the third–largest shareholder.
This was a very young woman called Sarah Thompson. The head of the Thompson family passed away a while ago. Sarah was
his only daughter, and these shares would certainly be inherited by her. So, she came to this shareholder meeting.
And the large shareholder had a voice in the meeting.
Sarah smiled at Giancarlo. “Since Mr. Tapia has spoken, if we didn’t speak our own opinions, wouldn’t it be a waste of his efforts
for the company?”
She stood up and first thanked everyone for caring about her family.
Then, Sarah said in an apologetic tone, “I’m still young. Don’t blame me if I say something wrong. I agree with Mr. Tapia. The
demand for houses downtown is already saturated. What we are interested in is the potential behind Tulip Mountain. You’re all
smart. I think you know what I mean.”
Someone muttered.
“We want to create a city on our own?”
This person might sound arrogant, but it was almost the truth.
Group?
Aaron frowned even more.
He could not hold back his anger. “Giancarlo, you’re ambitious. As your uncle, I should not have attacked you. But as you can
see, the Gardner Group also took this path but failed. We...”
“Aaron, the Tapia Group is different from the Gardner Group. We will not take their old path.” Giancarlo interrupted Aaron.
In the end, Giancarlo gave everyone time to think. “This is such a big project. It can’t be decided in just a meeting. I can relate to
you. I will give you a month to think about it. One month later, we will hold another
shareholder meeting. Now, let’s call it a day.”
After the others left, only Giancarlo, Aaron, and their assistants stayed.
Aaron couldn’t calm himself down and was very emotional. “Giancarlo, what’s wrong with you? This is the Gardner Group’s
project. Why do you want to develop it yourself?”
“Aaron, this project now belongs to the Tapia Group.”
Aaron could not control himself. “Don’t think that I don’t know. You are doing this for Jazmine.”
The moment he heard this name, a trace of grief flashed through Giancarlo’s eyes. He lowered his head and then looked up. He
had hidden his grief and only showed scorn.
“Aaron, you are a respected shareholder of the company. How can you have such a childish idea?”
Aaron did not want to hide it since they had reached this point. For the past five years, Giancarlo had been dealing with him. No
matter how secretive he was, Aaron was very clear that what he had done was known by
Giancarlo.
However, they didn’t get ugly with each other, so Aaron could still suppress his anger.
Aaron said seriously, “Giancarlo, all the things I did were for you, as well as the Tapia family. I know that you have some
misunderstandings about me. I can apologize to you, but you can’t be willful about the company.”
Giancarlo’s sneer was even clearer.
He interrupted Aaron. “Aaron, this project has not been finalized. Don’t be so agitated. I just said that Yoselin

Aaron left with anger.
He bumped into the intern, who walked in with coffee. The coffee splashed onto his suit, leaving many stains.
Aaron was so angry. He slapped the intern and shouted angrily, “Are you blind when you walk? Get lost.”
The intern covered her face and gritted her teeth to hold back her tears. Then, she quickly left.
