The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 340

The live stream's popularity was skyrocketing, soaring from half a million viewers to well over a million, and it was still climbing.

Herman was the face of Elysian Technologies, the company's poster boy. This was a fact that was well recognized. Even Collin, who had once teased Herman, agreed that if Herman was willing to use his charm, Elysian Technologies could reach new heights. If Elysian Technologies ventured into women's skincare products, and Herman was to promote them, they would definitely sell out in a heartbeat.

Two types of people were easy to make money from: women and children. Women controlled the purse strings of households and, by extension, the economy. And Herman, he had the potential to tap into that.

Gianna was also in the live stream. Unable to attend the event in person, she was content to watch from afar. Watching Herman on stage and seeing how popular he was, Gianna felt a sense of joy for him. Every move he made and every word he spoke kept Gianna's attention firmly on him.

"Gianna, could you fetch the scissors for me?" Cynthia called several times. Gianna was sitting on the couch, engrossed with her phone, and didn't budge.

Intrigued, Cynthia went over and saw Gianna staring at a man on her phone screen. Cynthia found him familiar, "Isn't that Anastasia's husband? Is he in a talent show?" Cynthia was unaware of Herman's true identity. Seeing him in a suit and tie, looking handsome and eloquent on stage, she assumed he was participating in some sort of reality show.

Gianna corrected her, "He's the CEO of Elysian Technologies. Today is their anniversary celebration and he's giving the speech. It's not a talent show."

"Elysian Technologies?" Cynthia gasped, "The company that ranks among the top in the world's wealth list?"

"Yes." Gianna replied, smiling, "Mom, look, isn't Herman handsome? He's only thirty. In just a few short years, he's turned Elysian Technologies into a leading corporation both domestically and internationally."

"Oh my, Anastasia really hit the jackpot. She's married into a wealthy family." Cynthia exclaimed, "I didn't see it before. I just thought he was handsome, but he's actually quite influential. How come your aunt and Anastasia never told us about this? Are they afraid we might try to climb the social ladder?"

The revelation of Herman's identity left Cynthia feeling less superior, even a bit envious. People were like that. They could wish you well, but they certainly didn't want to actually see you doing better than them.
