Ethan walked up to Matthew with confidence, handing him a sleek, gold-embossed business card.
Matthew visibly stiffened. When he took the card and glanced at it, his eyes widened in shock. "You... You're the founder of GrainWave Tech?"
The rest of the table quickly followed suit, each person's reaction mirroring Matthew's.
Anyone remotely familiar with the business world knew about GrainWave Tech. Over the past few years, it had skyrocketed to success, breaking the mold with its factory-free, online-exclusive business model. Profits doubled year after year, and just last year, the company had raked in over six billion dollars in revenue.
It was already a powerhouse in the tech industry. Yet, its founder had remained a complete mystery. No one knew who was behind it, only that they must be someone with extraordinary backing—perhaps the scion of an influential family.
None of them expected they'd get to meet him that day. On top of that, he was so good-looking!
The way the entire room regarded Ethan had completely changed. Josephine, however, remained clueless. She had always been laser-focused on Forbes Group, so she'd never heard of GrainWave Tech.
"What's going on?" she whispered to Ethan, feeling slightly anxious. "Why are they all looking at you like that?"
Ethan paused for a moment before replying, "Maybe they think I was too bold for handing out my business card with such confidence."
"It's fine, really. It's normal. You're a newcomer, and it's rare to get an opportunity like this, so you should definitely take the chance to promote yourself," Josephine reassured him, completely unaware of the real reason for their reactions.
"He only debuted a little over a year ago, so he doesn't have much experience and hasn't been to many big events. If he's made any missteps, I hope you'll be patient with him."
Matthew chuckled. "Why did a man like you decide to become an actor, Mr. Dane? Ms. Dunn must have quite the influence!"
