A Graduation Gift

"Please rest assured that I will personally settle the matter between Rufus and Amanda as soon as possible,"

Horace spoke in a respectful tone. It was rather strange that the owner of Tang Group, the most powerful real estate company in G City, presented himself in such a manner.

"Then we will have the money prepared and look forward to your good news,"

a raspy voice replied. Then, a loud beep sounded as he hung up the call.

Horace rubbed his forehead to analyze the information he had just received.

During the concert, Amanda proposed that the Tang Group would be taking over the construction of the new piano academy. She even invited Rufus to sign the contract already. This was somewhat peculiar as it showed that the two had some sort of past and could have been more than just friends.

Horace did not have much background information on Amanda. But based on what he deduced, as a female pianist who had been acknowledged internationally, she would have very powerful supporters.

It was highly possible that this group of investors were closely related to her.

It could be further concluded, from the ambiguous attitude of Amanda towards Rufus during the concert the other night, that the person she mentioned about to make her stay in G City was none other than Rufus himself.

With that in his mind, Horace knew that if he wanted the investment from their group to strengthen his own company, he should do everything in his power so that these two would marry each other.

Meanwhile, in Amanda's new studio in G City, there was an internal call for her coming from her assistant.

"Miss Ke, the Chairman of Tang Group is coming in for a visit, but he does not have any appointment set for today."

Amanda was actually browsing the news on the internet when she heard the call and it startled her a bit.

'The Chairman of Tang Group, Horace Tang is here? Isn't he out of our dealings with the Tang Group? Why would he come here?' she wondered.

"Ask him to come in!" Amanda ordered.

This was Rufus's father coming in and she was not ready for him. Amanda stood up and straightened her clothes as best as she could before her guest arrived in her office.

Just a few seconds later, Horace was led into the office by her assistant.

He was wearing a conservative dark business suit and looked spirited despite his old age. With an amiable smile, he greeted Amanda, "Miss Ke, I would like to apologize for visiting you without any prior arrangement."

Horace held a warm smile as he spoke. He seemed very friendly and for some reason she felt at ease to converse with him.

But, Amanda knew that he was the head of the Tang Group. No matter how harmless or amiable he appeared on the surface, she knew that nothing was as simple as it seemed.
