Chapter 135
Seeing that Renee refused to give up, Stefan didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He just turned around
and left with a cold expression on his face.
When he returned to the very center of the summit forum, he instantly caught everyone’s attention.
Stefan turned his head slightly, speaking to Elijah who was standing behind him. ” Inform Wyatt
Haughey to publicly announce that the summit will be blacklisting Azure Group. All companies, and I
mean all companies, are banned from partnering with them!”
Not only did the annual Global Technology Summit provide the top companies a platform to promote
their products, the most important section within the summit was the forum. With big shots from
different countries gathered in one place, they would all discuss the future development of the industry,
similar to a conference meeting.
As the CEO of H Group, Stefan’s electronics company accounted for seventy-five percent of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarket, so he was definitely considered the most powerful of them all.
“I’m afraid that won’t be possible.” Elijah gulped, replying carefully, “There’s a rumor circulating that
Wyatt Haughey won’t be re-elected this year, so he might not have the power to publicly announce
which company he wishes to blacklist.” (1)
Wyatt had been the president of the Electronics Technology Association for years, so his
position granted him quite a significant amount of power as well.
All companies had to request for approval from the association before joining the industry, and the
president was the official spokesman of the association. Hence, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say
that one word from the president would be able to determine one’s fate within the industry.
For the past few years, the president of the association had always been Wyatt, who had been trained
by Stefan himself. This was why H Group could receive so many permits within the field. If there had
been an election within the association this year, Wyatt would have definitely
been re-elected, logically speaking.
Elijah’s words made Stefan narrow his eyes. “He won’t be re-elected?
“Yes.” Elijah nodded and explained, “There were many big shots who were in the running for president
in the association, and Wyatt just seemed rather average compared to them, even with H Group
backing him. However, it is rumored that the newly appointed president is much more powerful, as they
had received a vote from Mr. Y himself. That’s how they were able to
win against their rivals, and emerge as the new president.”
“So that guy came to join in on the fun too.” Stefan raised an eyebrow, pondering to himself.
Normally, all the most powerful figures within the business field would cast their votes to support the
candidate they wished to have as president.
Mr. V was able to become a legend within the industry through his great intelligence and abilities. With
that, he had earned himself the power to make the decisive vote regarding the presidential elections in
the association. Despite that, Mr. Y had always been quite mysterious, and had never involved himself
in any past elections. He had also been rather low-key for the past couple of years, and no one knew

Why is he so active this year?’ Stefan thought, unable to hide his curiosity towards the newly appointed
president.
Elijah then continued. “Don’t worry, Mr. Hunt. No matter who the new president is, I’m sure they’d know
what to do. If you intend to blacklist Azure Group, surely they wouldn’t try to go against your wishes. I’ll
pass on your message to the new president later. Today marks the day Azure Group meets their
demise!”
Elijah knew exactly why Stefan was so resentful towards that company. Not only had his ex- wife
established this company with her ‘affair partner’, they had even stolen H Group’s biggest client. ‘If I
was Mr. Hunt, I’d make both of them go bankrupt! Blacklisting their company is just too light of a
punishment!”
As the forum officially started, the hall was completely silent.
After Stefan made his opening speech, the emcee announced with excitement, “As you all know,
recently, our association had our presidential elections. So, it’s my greatest honor to welcome our new
president to the stage!”
