"Enough with the act, Alex!" he snapped, his voice cold and sharp. "We're not here for drinks or small talk!"
He stepped forward, cutting straight to the point.
"Let's not waste time. The city redevelopment project is massive, and Reid Industries is trying to take it all for itself? That's just pure greed." His eyes narrowed. "You can't handle it alone. So why not share the project… and profit with the rest of us?"
His words were immediately met with agreement from the crowd.
"That's right! There's more than enough money to go around—why should Reid Industries monopolize it?"
"It's only fair that we all get a piece of the pie!"
One by one, the other company executives voiced their support, pushing for a division of the project.
Alex, however, remained completely unbothered by them or their remarks. He didn't even bother sitting down, simply standing with his hands in his pockets, looking down at them as if they were insignificant.
