Chapter 305 Criticisms

"Letting the Birrell Group go bankrupt isn't that bad," Martin chuckled. Although he thought that it was a pity because he couldn't kill Edwiin, he was also quite satisfied with the result and being able to defeat the Birrell Group.

"Martin, I'll retire after the Birrell Group goes bankrupt. If that happens, I'll give you the position as a chairman of the Gold Group," Morgan said.

"Chairman?" Martin said as he was taken aback. "Grandpa, I'm still young, so you can take your time and think about it for a while, you know?"

"Don't be too humble, Martin," Morgan smiled. "You have the ability. Since you have to deal with the Birrell Group, most of the money comes from you. Not to mention, you also got the Tommy family to declare war against the Birrell family."

"Moreover, I'm in my 70s now and I want to enjoy the blessings that I have so I can travel around the world," Morgan added.

"If that's the case, then that's fine grandpa. It's time for you to enjoy your life to the fullest," Martin nodded and smiled.

"Martin, JD University is trying to hold a public project, I think. Once it's done, we can go for a trip there," Morgan retorted.

"No problem, grandpa!" Martin said.

At that moment, Morgan's phone suddenly rang and he immediately answered it.

"Hello?" Morgan said as he answered the phone. However, in mere seconds, his expression abruptly changed when he heard the words on the phone and hung up as soon as he was done talking.

"What's the matter, grandpa?" Martin couldn't help but ask.

"Darwin had a heart attack," Morgan said with a serious expression. Darwin was the biggest backer for Morgan and the Gold Group, after all.

"What? How is he now?" Martin worriedly said. He knew very well that if something happened to Darwin, the company would lose a great backer and without the backing, the situation that they had might be reversed.

"I don't know, but let's head on over to the hospital now," Morgan immediately retorted.

With that said, Martin followed his grandfather to the Resolute Health Hospital

When they rushed to the hospital, Darwin was inside the ward while he laid on the hospital bed. He looked pale and lifeless, so that made Morgan think that he wouldn't last long after he had a heart attack.

"Are you alright, Darwin?" Morgan worriedly asked.

"I'm not, but I think it's okay for me to die," Darwin meekly replied.

"Mr. Gracie, the patient is in a bad condition now, so it's recommended for him to rest and not talk to anyone for the time being," The doctor said.

"Alright, I'm going out now," Morgan said. "Take a rest first, Darwin."

After Morgan spoke, he took Martin out of the ward. Once they were out, he said, "Martin, go ahead and do the things you want to do first. I'll be with Darwin in this hospital, alright?"

Martin nodded in response. Soon after, he left the hospital so he could go to JD University.

At the gate of the university, Martin didn't call the principal, so he didn't come to the school gate to pick Martin up, which was why the security guard stopped him from entering.

"According to the regulations of the school, foreign vehicles aren't allowed to enter without a pass. Sorry about this sir, but we have to act according to the rules," The security guard said politely.

"It's alright, I'll just get out," Martin said. He wasn't an unkind person and knew that the security guard was just trying to do his job, which was why he didn't need to embarrass him.

After that, Martin entered JD University on foot.

"The environment that JD University has is much better than C City University," Martin sighed.

JD University was the top university in Marleyan Province, which explained why there were a lot of students. Not to mention, a lot of pretty girls also studied there.

On the way to the campus, Martin saw a sanitation worker who was pushing a full-load sanitation truck up a slope. He noticed that the worker had a hard time, so he immediately ran up to the worker so he could help.

Although the sanitation truck was smelly because it was full of garbage, Martin didn't dislike it at all because his mother used to be a sanitation worker which was why he knew the hardships that his mother faced every day.

Because of that, he put all his energy into pushing the vehicle up the slope. A thin classmate rushed over as well so they could push the truck together. Because of their efforts, the truck had been slowly pushed across the slope and the worker thanked them.

"Thank you so much! The truck was out of power and I could only rely on my pushing it," The worker said. "If it weren't for your help, I wouldn't be able to push it up."

When Martin glanced at the sanitation worker, her skin was dark and her hands were already rough and old, just like what his mother used to be.

"It's a pleasure to help," Martin smiled.

"No need to thank us," The thin student said as he shook his head. He then took a glance at Martin and said, "You're too polite, you know? Well, you helped someone in need, so I guess I can't misunderstand that fact."

"That's just who I am," Martin laughed. He then took a closer look at the thin student and noticed that he dressed very plainly and his shirt was faded. Not to mention, there was even a hole in the clothes.

He immediately noticed that the student was poor and concluded that his family was poor as well, just like he was back then.

"I have something to do first, so I'll just see you later!" The thin student said.

After they said their goodbye, Martin went to the principal's office. However, before he could enter, a female secretary stopped him and said, "This is the principal's office and no student should be allowed inside."

"Are you the principal's secretary? I'm the vice-chairman of the Gold Group, Martin James," Martin said. "I've come to talk to your principal."

"What? You're the vice-chairman of the Gold Group?" The secretary snorted. "You're very courageous for calling yourself the vice-chairman when you look like a poor student."

Not to mention, the secretary thought that even if the vice-chairman of the Gold Group came, they should have told the principal in advance to greet him at the school gate.

Martin frowned, "I'm not joking. My time is precious, so please tell that to your principal immediately."

"Look, boy," The secretary said. "If you mess around again, I have to tell the security department, so I suggest that you get out of here."

At that moment, Martin furrowed his eyebrows. He hated people like the secretary, so he took out a document and threw it in front of her. "This is the document that your school sent to the Gold Group and there's an official seal on it,"

When the secretary was about to look at the file, she noticed the watch that Martin had and concluded that it was a one-of-a-kind one. With that, she took a look at the document and it truly turned out to be the file that was sent to the Gold Group.

When Martin James lost the file, his watch happened to be exposed.
