Chapter 168 Rather Overwhelming
"What do you mean? You look down on me?" Bryce's face flushed with anger as he pointed at Jayden and
retorted, "I also majored in finance. How can you say | lack business acumen? You're just jealous of me."
Jayden stayed quiet, meeting Bryce's gaze calmly.
Feeling the weight of Jayden's stare, Bryce's anger ebbed away, leaving behind a flicker of guilt. "So, just
because you majored in finance, you think you're ready to run the company?" Jayden quipped with a hint of
sarcasm.
Annoyed, Bryce snapped back, "I can do everything you can. Mom believes I'm now our family's beacon of hope.
As for you, you're just a has been with no chance against me!"
With a newfound assurance, Bryce relaxed and said condescendingly. "Once I'm in charge, I'll
make sure you have a job here. Am | not a generous brother?"
Jayden couldn't help
but be amused by such naive confidence.
Bryce couldn't even deal with the director of the design department

Bryce was taken aback by Jayden's bluntness.
Just as Bryce's temper neared its peak, the door swung open.
In walked Brook's assistant, who addressed Jayden with a pompous tone. "I'm Mr. Brook Owen's
assistant. There's a meeting to review the first half of the year. Mr. Owen would like you to join them and sit in."
Jayden's response was devoid of emotion. "I've been away from the company for a year. Its business is no longer
my concern."
The assistant was caught off-guard by Jayden's indifference. "Mr. Owen believes you're quite familiar with the
company. Perhaps you could offer sadvic
Jayden merely replied, "He regardswell, then." After a brief pause, he consented. "Since Brook requests it, I'll
attend."
The assistant stepped aside, but as Bryce attempted to follow, he blocked the way.
Frustration colored Bryce's face. "Why am | being barred? I'm family too!"
With a haughty lift of his head, the assistant retorted, "You weren't invited. This meeting is not for

Bryce, a mere design department employee, was clearly out of his depth.
Realizing he wasn't taken seriously within the company, Bryce felt a surge of ambition to prove his worth.
Jayden reached the executive meeting room on the eighth floor, where semployees outside greeted him
enthusiastically. "Mr. Owen? You're back at the company?"
Jayden replied with a shake of his head, "No, I'm just here to take a look."
The employees exchanged glances before opening the door for Jayden.
As he entered, the executives in the room reacted with noticeable surprise.
Those who had previous disagreements with Jayden were visibly restless, while others who didn't recognize him
scrutinized him closely.
Brook took a moment to survey the room before inviting Jayden to join. "Jayden, we're reviewing the overseas
business department's report Please, have a seat."
Jayden accepted the invitation and moved closer to the action

liquid assets stand at 224 billion and our liquidity rais 275%."
Jayden interjected, "No, it's 215.31%."
The director, caught off guard, echoed, "215.31%?"
As the numbers were recalculated, a colleague confirmed in surprise,
"Indeed, it's 215.31%, not 275%."
Realizing the error, the director was visibly embarrassed but quickly attempted to recover. espite the
miscalculation, our cash flow remains robust enough to support this initiative."
Jayden, maintaining a stern demeanor, pressed further, "Even with sufficient cash flow, shouldn't you approach
such a significant acquisition with greater diligence? Your plan seems too vague. How realistic are our chances of
achieving these ambitious goals within a few years? If you aim to really impress the staff, | suggest you draft a
more comprehensive strategy." <
Sweat beaded on the director's forehead as he avoided Jayden's gaze, overwhelmed by the intensity of the
critique and the firmness of Jayden's stance.
