Chapter 140 The Power Behind the Name
Jack bowed slightly and stepped out.
“Cloud Hospital? The one going public this year?”

“I heard the Quinn Group is backing it. The chairman, Mr. Goodman, is young, but several hospitals have been trying to recruit him.”
“What did Uncle just say? Did he try to kick him out? If Typhoon Corp handles Cloud Hospital’s first feature report, it’ll be an instant hit!”
Chase nodded at Caesar and Mario. “Up to you. Ms. Quinn will be joining us later tonight. Shall we find a quiet place to talk now, or do you want to attend to family matters first?”
“No need.” Caesar stood and straightened his casual clothes, still managing to look effortlessly elegant. “Upstairs, please.”
The group went into the study, leaving the rest of the room in stunned silence.
Inside, Melody and Mario discussed work while Caesar and Chase chatted nearby.
“Thanks for coming to help,” Caesar said as he poured Chase a cup of tea.
I’d heard that Chase doesn’t like coffee. Fortunately, the Meyer family is old-fashioned and has a much better supply of tea than coffee.
“It’s nothing. Wendy said you and Mario were under a lot of pressure, so I came to help in any way I could.”
“Bah, this bunch can’t make any real trouble. Let them rant all they want. They won’t get a single share from me.” Caesar said.
After the way they’d treated me back then, there is no way I’m going to give them a break now that I’m finally on top.
My parents had left me everything they had. The others were not even given a house. Now that Typhoon Corp is thriving, they become greedy. Property isn’t enough; they are after the company itself.
This chaos has only one goal, to gain a position within the company.
They want to be on the payroll and get dividends but contribute nothing.
I’m not having it,
“Typhoon Corp is a place where talent from all over the country comes together. It’s a dream workplace.or writers, journalists, and students. I will never let parasites like them tarnish it. This is my parents‘ legacy. I’m simply honoring their vision.”
Chase nodded. “There are few people like you left in this business. In family businesses, leeches are inevitable. Even the Quinn Group has a few. But Wendy only gives them entry–level jobs, not volunteer positions. If they underperform, they’re out the door. Still, there’s a whole bunch of them who complain nonstop.”
No matter what you do, someone is going to criticize. You might as well do it your way.

finalized the draft,” Melody told Mario. The meeting had gone smoothly, and the partnership was practically a done deal.

When the business talk was over, Melody found a corner to sit quietly. She lowered her head and messaged the legal team to confirm the contract clauses, making sure not to interrupt the others.
“Your assistant is impressive. She picks things up quickly. With her by your side, everything runs smoother, Mario said as he sat next to Caesar and casually sipped from his teacup.
Chase nodded in agreement.
“Of course. With Melody around, I can just be the mascot. She takes care of everything at Cloud Hospital, even my personal affairs.”
“That strategy was Wendy’s, wasn’t it?” Mario asked. “You came to see me instead of Caesar to send a message, to show the Meyer family that I have support.”
“Of course.” Chase didn’t hesitate to praise his wife. “Wendy is always full of smart ideas. And this one clearly worked.”
They stayed in the study chatting until nightfall. Wendy called to say she had left the office and was on her way to The Vine.
The group finally went downstairs. Chase deliberately walked next to Mario.
“Great. We’ll follow Mr. Peter’s instructions. The terms will be fixed in the contract. I’m looking forward to working with you,” Chase said.
Mario opened the door for him personally. “I’m not sure if The Vian’s desserts are to your taste. Wendy mentioned that you like Western food.”
“I’ll follow the host’s lead.” With that, the group left.
With the guests gone and the living room quiet, the rest of the Meyer family grew restless. Someone even pulled Jack aside to ask questions.
“What’s going on? How does Peter know Ms. Quinn of the Quinn Group? And how is he so close to the chairman of Cloud Hospital?”
Chase is a rising star. Although he is not yet a top authority in the medical field, his youth and current status already mark him as a prodigy. In a few years, he will surely have a solid place in the industry.
Rumor had it that he had not only won scholarships as a student but had also published many influential papers.
