Rubus looked at Gilmore with a smile on his face and said, “Mr. Reed, yesterday you gave me a piece of rare ceramic, which left nie unsure of how to express my gratitude.
“Since I have some free time tonight, I decided to visit Mr. Reed and hope to open my heart and be friends with you.”

“I also believe that working with you will be a very pleasant experience.”
Rubus nodded confidently and asked, “By the way, Mr. Reed, did you buy shares of my Kenda Company and Danald Company today?”
Gilmore didn’t deny it and replied, “Yes, Mr. Vergil, both of your companies have great growth potential, so I bought some shares.
Upon hearing this, Rubus thought to himself, “The shares you bought have already accounted for a 30% stake in both of my companies. And you call that buying some shares?”
Of course, Rubus wouldn’t show his thoughts and instead smiled at Gilmore, saying, “Mr. Reed, could you sell some of the shares you bought to me?
These two companies were built from scratch with great effort, and I don’t wish for them to fall into someone else’s hands.”
Rubus was expressing his true feelings.

With a serious expression, Gilmore continued, “And Mr. Vergil, don’t forget that I have invested a huge amount of capital in both of your companies.
