Chapter 960: Chapter 952: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey 2

Tiana Thorne looked outside and immediately saw the employees standing in two rows. Everyone was neatly dressed, hands placed in front, respectfully.

The scene could be described as grand and imposing.

May Sloane watched this scene, her heart somewhat shocked. It turned out that the scenes of domineering CEOs visiting their companies seen on TV weren’t fake.

Jordan York saw the car arriving and quickly walked over.

The door opened.

He welcomed Tiana Thorne out of the car. This was also the first time he had seen her face up close.

In the prime of youth, with delicate skin, a rosy complexion, and a head of long, black hair, she possessed an intellectual beauty. Her makeup was light yet exquisite, with a face that could topple nations.

She wore a white shirt with a small blazer, paired with slender trousers that made her appear very tall.

Each step she took carried a powerful aura, especially with those starry eyes. When they slightly narrowed, there was an awe-inspiring, intimidating presence. Yet, when she smiled, it was utterly captivating.

No wonder this woman could make Lord Ford lose his mind. Just one glance and she felt unreachable.

As she walked toward the company’s entrance, the employees on both sides bowed uniformly, loudly saying, "Hello, President!"

The momentum could be described as mighty and spirited.

Tiana Thorne led May Sloane and her brother inside.

Jordan York introduced from the side: "This is the lobby, over there is the waiting room, and the elevator is this way."

After going upstairs, they first stepped out on the second floor. Jordan continued to introduce: "This floor is the Human Resources Department, mainly responsible for recruitment. This is our HR Manager, Cole Walsh."

Tiana Thorne extended her hand for a handshake: "Manager Wagner, thank you for your hard work."

Cole Walsh cautiously replied: "Thank you, President."

Then he introduced the size of the HR Department and moved to the third floor: "Here is the model’s office, over there is the runway, and there’s the makeup room."

Jordan York patiently introduced each point: "The fourth to seventh floors are all celebrity offices, the tenth floor houses the training camp, and the broadcasting studio is also on the tenth floor."

"The eleventh floor is used for auditions, with directors working on this floor. The twelfth and thirteenth floors are for editors and voice actors’ offices. The fourteenth and fifteenth floors store filming equipment."

Tiana Thorne nodded in agreement without any objections, as everyone was working hard, and the office environment was excellent and clean.

Upon reaching the sixteenth floor, Jordan York added: "This floor is your office."

As Tiana stepped in, she felt a sense of coming home. The decor seemed familiar, like she had seen it in both the Thorne and Ford family rooms.

She was a bit surprised: "Who arranged this?"

"It was organized by Lord Ford."

Tiana was slightly taken aback, softly murmuring: "Sixteenth floor, sixteen..."

Then she gently laughed.

Unexpectedly, Aiden Shaw had a romantic side.

Afterward, they proceeded to the seventeenth floor. No space was wasted; every area was utilized, and all employees were diligently working. When they saw her, they nodded: "Hello, President."

Tiana Thorne amicably greeted them and added: "Everyone continue working; I’m just looking around."

"Yes."

Then they walked upstairs again: "The nineteenth floor is the conference room. I’ve already gathered the company’s key members waiting for you."

Tiana Thorne did not ask why there was no eighteenth floor.

Because real estate developers unanimously believe that the eighteenth floor represents the hell of the eighteenth layer, so they skip numbering this floor.

Tiana Thorne turned back to confirm: "I remember from the documents that this building was leased?"

"Yes, President."

Tiana Thorne proposed: "Make arrangements to negotiate with the developer to purchase it. Judging by this scale, it will continue to expand in the future."

Purchase...!!!

Jordan York was momentarily stunned but quickly realized that this was Aiden Shaw’s fiancée, eldest daughter of the Ford family, on the cusp of becoming the leading figure in the entertainment industry.

If she wanted to buy, it was merely a matter of a word.

"Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately." He seemed to remember something and added: "Oh, President, this office building is owned by your brother."

Tiana Thorne: "..."

May Sloane: "..."

Jordan York immediately explained: "When Zenith Media was established, it leased it. At that time, Sunfire Group funded it. Now the company has picked up, so Sunfire Group has withdrawn investment. Actually, it was just in name. Currently, we and Sunfire Group have separate holdings with no direct connections."

"Does that mean we still have to give Sunfire Group thirty percent of the net profits every year?"

Jordan York nodded: "Yes."

Tiana Thorne, being a businessperson, and having invested so much since taking on the role of president, naturally didn’t want to give Sunfire Group so much money.

Back then, Sunfire Group merely invested. Now, having withdrawn, she could recognize one percent of the stocks, but wouldn’t pay more.

Thinking of this, she said: "Since the Ford family has taken over, I will negotiate with Sunfire Group’s president to completely separate and let Zenith become wholly independent."

Jordan York felt he had found the right investor this time. Tiana Thorne had this kind of boldness, and Sunfire Group’s Executive Old Gu would not make things difficult for her either.

He nodded: "Alright, I can first send someone to handle this matter."

Tiana asked: "Company’s legal department?"

"Yes."

Tiana Thorne introduced while pulling her brother: "President York, meet my brother, Theo Ford. I believe you’re not unfamiliar with the name?"

Jordan York had felt he was familiar earlier but couldn’t recall it at the moment. Hearing this now, he suddenly realized: "Attorney Ford!"

He quickly extended his hand for a handshake: "Nice to meet you, nice to meet you."

"Hello, President York."

Jordan York nodded.

Tiana Thorne said: "Regarding negotiations with Sunfire Group, I’ll have my brother handle it. If you have any questions, feel free to consult him."

Jordan York said: "That’s indeed of great help."

He suddenly felt Tiana Thorne was not only capable of doing business but also an incredibly impressive figure, even able to rely on her brother to help with matters.

May Sloane watched all of this, no longer as shocked and excitable as in the beginning. Tiana had given her too many surprises and exhilaration.

Now, all she felt was that everything was rare, truly unique.

Tiana Thorne achieving what she had now also could not be separated from her own efforts.

Such a girl, is an angel on earth.

Afterward, Jordan York led them to the conference room.

Upon entering, May Sloane’s heart began to stir, with so many bigwigs from the entertainment industry, each one immensely famous.

Especially Iris Sterling at the forefront, now the leading figure in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps this persona had been with her for too long; just sitting there, she exuded an immensely powerful aura.

Upon seeing Tiana Thorne, she looked over at her.
