Chapter 5

I stayed in Singapore for two days. Besides having tea and chatting with the mentor and handling the onboarding procedures, I also found a place to live near the company.

I had my assistant inform several business partners in advance about my plans to go abroad, and thanked them for their support over the years.

There were no signs of Saylor having returned home. Everything was as usual, so I took the opportunity to change the passcode on the front door.

After resting for a day, the business partners called me one after another saying they wanted to arrange a farewell dinner. I couldn't refuse, so I had to attend.

The private room door was ajar, and I heard Ryan chatting happily with the business partners.

I was a bit puzzled, not expecting that a simple farewell dinner would invite Saylor and Ryan.

I paused for a few seconds, but still pushed the door open and went in.

Ryan was sitting in the main seat, leaning against Saylor.

Saylor glanced at me and said, "Everyone here today is a friend, so just sit wherever."

"There was some confusion at the banquet that night. Now that everyone's here, let's have an open discussion."

The business partners' gazes all fell on me. Seeing my gloomy face and silence, they didn't say anything either.

Ryan's eyes were full of smugness as he smirked at me.

I didn't want to sit near them anyway, so I casually pulled out a chair and sat down.

During the meal, Ryan kept toasting the business partners, loudly discussing the bright prospects after signing the cooperation.

He was clearly very happy tonight.

My phone also kept flashing. Saylor sent me several messages.

"I'm going to announce something later, please give me some face. If you have any questions, we can discuss them when we get home."

"You should be able to see today that there's nothing between Ryan and me. I have nothing to hide from you."

I kept reading until the last message popped up.

"Ryan will probably drink too much today. I might have to send him home first after we're done."

I raised an eyebrow and briefly replied "Whatever."

After a few rounds of drinks, Saylor saw the atmosphere was right and stood up with Ryan to make a toast and announce: "From today on, Ryan will be our company's newly cultivated person in charge. He'll be responsible for liaising with you all in the future. Please take care of him."

At this point, the business partner closest to me asked in confusion:

"Liaising? What liaising? Frost Corporation has already decided to withdraw from River City, and we're all prepared to withdraw our investments too. Who are you going to liaise with?"

"What?! Withdraw from River City? Yannick, you..."

Saylor was shocked, suddenly turning to look at me.

I nodded calmly: "Yes, I plan to move Frost Corporation overseas."

Saylor's eyes widened in disbelief: "You want to take Frost Corporation overseas? What about me?"
