At 11:50, Pon boarded the car leaving the airport, reviewing the agenda for the afternoon board meeting on the seat.

The assistant in the front seat turned around and informed him, “The proposal to appoint new directors will be discussed today. There shouldn’t be any issues. Mr. Zee is sure to enter the board this time.”

Pon’s gaze was on the tablet in his hand, “How did Benz react?”

“No reaction. Between Mr. Zee or someone else, Mr. Zee’s qualifications are the most suitable. Even President Atthanin wouldn’t find any faults with him,” the assistant said.

Pon raised his head, elbow on the armrest, and casually ran his clean and slender fingers across his chin.

His tone carried a hint of ambiguity, “No reaction at all?”

The assistant affirmed, “Indeed, no noticeable reaction. At least, on the surface, it appeared so.”

Pon wasn’t entirely convinced.

With one more person entering the board from his side, decisions and executions for Benz in the future would become more complicated.

Could his elder brother be so easy to deal with?

“Maybe he’s holding back some big move,” the assistant joked.

Pon looked over, “Just shut up.”

In the office, Benz leaned back in his chair, hands folded in front of him, lightly tapping the desk as he listened to reports.

“This time in Chiang Mai, President Thanapon not only completed the acquisition of Daou Technology but also personally supervised it. He replaced all the board members of Daou Technology except the CTO. Additionally, he signed a cooperation and development agreement for a smart port with Horizon Shipping. This information was submitted on his way back this morning, which is against the rules…”

“He didn’t report to me, but he definitely informed the chairman, and the chairman approved it,” Benz calmly interrupted the assistant.

This wasn’t the first time Pon did such a thing, he would bypass him and report directly to their father. Nothing unusual.

“Anyway, it’s a good thing. Let it be,” Benz said indifferently.

The assistant hesitated and asked, “What about the afternoon meeting? President Thanapon is definitely going to push Mr. Zee into the board. Are we just going to let it happen?”

Benz raised his eyelids, “Do you think there’s a better candidate than Zee Pruk?”

The assistant was somewhat at a loss. In terms of qualifications and abilities, there was no issue.

If it were someone else, the shareholders might also have objections.

However, President Thanapon formed factions within the company, always opposed to Benz.

If he were just a mediocre person, it would be fine, but Thanapon had real abilities, making it a tricky situation.

At 12:40, Pon walked into Atthanin company building, directly heading to the cafeteria on the basement floor. The middle and high-level staff of the investment department were waiting for him in a private room.

The board meeting was scheduled to start at 1:30, and Pon didn’t want to waste time.

On the way, he had his assistant call everyone to the cafeteria for a short meeting while having lunch.

As the Executive Vice President of Atthanin Group, in charge of the Strategic Investment Department, Pon had delivered an impressive performance in just one year.
