But we're all gathered here today because of the development project in the west of Estresa, which holds the key to the city's economic future. I wonder if you have any thoughts on this matter?" Aldwin scanned the room, his tone dripping with feigned politeness.
"Your Welch Group has already started the development, though there's been a minor setback. But everyone knows the Welch Group is a household name, essential to the livelihoods of the people. I'm sure your intentions were to improve the lives of the people in the west of Estresa. Why not share the situation with us, so we can all understand it?

"Mr. Perkins, you've been in business for many years. Surely, you understand the most basic principles, right? The development project has not been divested from the Welch Group. As it concerns company secrets, I, as the highest-ranking person in the enterprise, cannot disclose them openly. I suggest you be mindful of the setting, Mr. Perkins!"

"Look, Mr. Welch, I praised you for keeping your composure, and now you're back to your old ways..." Aldwin was too aggressive, and most of the room silently sided with him.

Amid the sycophantic flattery, Aldwin and his subordinate wore smug expressions, outwardly humble but clearly anticipating control of the project.

Aldwin's calculating gaze disappeared as he shifted his to to plans for maximizing profits after securing the development project, all while ensuring the Welch Group would be left out in the cold.
