Chapter 421

Lance also reminded me of the same thing before. Tucker understood the reason I came here. He showed me around, gave me a tour of the company, and introduced the various departments to me. The Schick Corporation had a very extensive industrial chain. By the time I went through all the departments and core organizations, it was already evening. I learned that the Schick family had a unique core organization—Azure. With the help of Azure Cloud, Azure controlled knowledge and data relating to the company’s influences, dealings, and others. Not only that, they excelled at the cognition and analysis of the world’s big data, including data obtained from their mass surveillance network. The data included the Jean family’s information. I recently came to know about the Jean family. They used to be a political family, so they did not venture into commercial businesses. However, during the half-year period where Zachary lost power, things changed. They hastily devoured Zachary’s influences in the European Region and rose to power. They became the second-biggest tycoon after Charles. Although, it was the first time I heard about this core organization. Puzzled, I asked Tucker, “Why didn’t you inform me about such a core organization that existed in our company before? Also, they weren’t in the information you gave me.” Tucker explained with patience, “Master, the Schick family’s core organization records a tremendous amount of information related to the company’s influence from a few hundred years ago. We didn’t tell you previously because you had limited knowledge of the company back then. Before Mr. Wale left, he reminded us to transfer the knowledge in bite-size, thus... My apologies, Master. There’s still plenty of time ahead for you to study these carefully.” I did not blame him for concealing the information. Instead, I asked curiously, “Since the Jean family’s information is included here, how about Zachary’s?” “The latest data was not ready for collection,” Tucker replied. I asked with doubt, “The information of the Jean family is latest and updated recently, then why does Zachary’s... Is there any reason behind this?” “There are no particular reasons, but Mr. Schick’s information is harder to obtain due to tight security.” “Oh, then there’s no need to investigate him,” I instructed. Tucker was surprised. He exclaimed, “That’s inappropriate.” I sighed. “Tucker, this is the only thing I can give him,” I explained, “Don’t worry, he will not become the Schick family’s enemy.” Zachary knew everything about the Schick family. If he intended to go against the Schick family, no one could stop him. Moreover, I understood he was not someone greedy for power. His power was more for self-protection, especially since he stood at the pinnacle. If he were to fall, everyone would devour him. Tucker took my order. “Understood, Master.” I changed the topic. “Where’s Chuck?” “Chuck is on a business trip,” Tucker explained patiently, “Since he’s Master’s recommendation, I couldn’t directly assign him to a high position. It would easily cause dissatisfaction for the middle or lower management. Thus, I needed to position him lower to train him. Master, please be rest assured once the moment is right, he would become your best right-hand man.” Tucker gave his plans a thorough consideration. I nodded as an acknowledgment then left the core organization. By the time I left the Schick Corporation, it was already eight o’clock at night. I went into the car. Before I could close the door, Tucker came over with his laptop and showed me. He informed, “Master, Mr. Schick just one-sidedly announced his engagement with you. Shall the Schick family respond with a formal response?” I was surprised to hear that and took Tucker’s laptop. I saw that Zachary posted a public announcement via his social media account. It read: [Zachary Schick: We are happy to announce our engagement dated 201x November 27th. The marriage ceremony would be held in 201x. Cordially request the world’s blessings for our joyous celebration. Zachary Schick and Caroline Shaw.] His short announcement was full of energy. Not only that, but he also tagged the Schick family’s official account. Why did this man not inform me about anything before he took action? I told Tucker, “Share the post immediately. Let me think of what to write. Oh my god, I don’t know how to reply! Tucker, I truly love him. With just a few words of his, he made my heart flutter!” Even if it was only just a few words. Tucker reminded in a neutral voice, “Master, you can share the post too, but the content can be slightly reserved. After all, you would represent the Schick family.” Reserved?! I shared the post. [Caroline Shaw: By the mountain lived the tree, By the tree where branches sit, By my unspoken love for you, Even if you never knew.] Tucker had a look and commented, “Quite reserved.” The moment right after I shared Zachary’s post, he sent me a message. Zachary: “Where are you? Assistant Yair will come and pick you up.” Pick me?! Perhaps he planned to propose?
