Aida walked in with a smile and nodded at Floyd in greeting.
“Good morning, Dad!”
Floyd nodded. His expression eased a lot. “You’re here! You’re much more understanding than Grant. It’s such a big day, but he’s not even here yet!”
Floyd really never missed a chance to complain.
Nicole looked at Aida speechlessly before she pointed at her watch.
“Dad, it’s not even 8:00 am yet. Grant went to the office early to work overtime!”
“Hmph! The company won’t go bankrupt if he doesn’t go for a day anyway. He’s just worrying for nothing!”
Floyd indignantly turned around and walked away.
Nicole helplessly looked at Aida and shrugged her shoulders.
”He’s really too excited…”
Aida laughed. ”But why does dad look kinda nervous?”
Floyd was the Chairman of Stanton Corporation and had single-handedly built this business empire, so he had seen all kinds of people before.
Why was he so nervous then?
Nicole looked like she could see through it all and mysteriously leaned in.
“He has low self-esteem!”
Although Floyd was gifted in doing business and was invincible, he was lacking in terms of education.
Merely getting a high school diploma was Floyd’s lifelong regret.
Nicole ate the snacks Aida brought while she told Aida about Floyd’s history.
“After my father founded Stanton Corporation, he made it quite big, but at that time, the circle was all about networking. Some people were jealous that my father single -handedly built such a big empire and deliberately isolated him in the business circle, saying that his level of education is too low…”
Aida looked surprised. “Uncle Floyd’s generation cared about education?”
“Of course. There were ten of them, and nine of his good friends were highly educated, so my father was singled out,” Nicole said with some frustration.
She certainly knew that it was not easy for Floyd to get to where he was today.
Nicole also knew that Floyd was still hung up on this matter.
Otherwise, Floyd would not have sent his children abroad for higher education. Nicole and Grant both went to first- class universities abroad, so their level was self-evident.
Maverick’s genius genes were an anomaly. His existence had always been a ceiling that others could only look up to.
Only Kai had completely deviated from the track that Floyd envisioned for his children.
Even if Kai did not want to study business, Floyd wanted Kai to at least engage in academics.
If Kai did not have a preference, he could become a university professor or something of the sort.
However, Kai hid it from everyone and secretly enrolled in acting school.
Although the business world interacted with people in the entertainment industry, business people were always condescending to people in showbiz.
After all, the entertainment industry was dependent on the business world to make a living.
Kai chose this line of work and did not want to be a pure performance artist. Instead, he wanted to become a superstar and enjoy having a huge following.
Kai’s choices made Floyd very exasperated.
Thus, up until now, Floyd felt that Kai’s Best Actor awards were bought with money.
Aida listened to Nicole talking about the past and looked very interested. She sighed and felt emotional.
“Your big brother never told me about this. He just mentioned that Dad treats all of you very well. Dad’s very strict with him and particularly spoils you. Grant also said that Mav is quiet, and Kai is naughty, but everyone’s very happy.”
Nicole laughed. The corners of her lips curled up.
“Grant always sees things very simply. He’s the first child in the family, so my father loves him the most. I heard that when the family was going through a tough time, Dad would make sure that Grant was well-dressed when he sent him to school every day. Dad loves him very much!”
