Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 734: Chapter 730: I Just Had Surgery, Not Dead

Roy Lewis stood up, walked calmly onto the podium under the watchful, silent gaze.

The spokesperson made way for him to stand behind the speaking desk.

Roy Lewis was always pragmatic, so his speech was astonishingly brief.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Roy Lewis. During President Kennedy Green’s recovery period, I will uphold Mr. President’s philosophy and do my utmost to serve the Federation government to the best of my ability. Thank you all!”

As Roy Lewis said these words, he felt both a sense of mission and deep guilt towards Richelle Dunn and her children.

The promised first trip after his “resurrection from death”, the promised Mid-Autumn outing at sea to see dolphins…

These, it seemed, were all down the drain now.

It seemed that everyone, the spokesperson and the reporters alike, hadn’t expected his speech to be so brief. So, there was a brief silence before the applause began.

After clapping, the spokesperson leaned over and said.

“Mr. Lewis, or perhaps you could talk a bit about your future plans?”

Roy Lewis said, “Everything will operate as normal in the Federation government. All ongoing infrastructure projects will continue, and negotiations for investments will also proceed. So, I won’t beat around the bush. If any of you reporters have questions, please ask.”

Roy Lewis’s remarkably brief speech did leave everyone quite unaccustomed.

But after one attempt at prompting him, the spokesperson had no choice but to accept the new boss’s concise approach.

So, they announced that it was time now for the reporters to ask their questions.

A reporter from a Federation media outlet was the first one called by Roy Lewis.

“Mr. Lewis, you were previously the CEO of Lewis Group, how will you balance your work now as the Acting President?”

Roy Lewis replied, “Did you not say that I was previously the president of Lewis Group? As you should remember, the current president of Lewis Group is Mr. Dunn, not me, so there is no issue of balancing work.”

In his heart, Roy Lewis silently apologized to Richelle Dunn once again.

He had previously promised her that he would free her from her duty as soon as he recovered.

Now it seemed that Richelle would have to remain as CEO for a while longer!

Another foreign reporter was then called upon.

“Mr. Lewis, it was previously introduced that you were the planner and first commander of the operation, does this mean that you were previously serving under President Kennedy Green? Can you speak about which department and position?”

Roy Lewis replied, “I have indeed been working under President Kennedy since his election, but all information related to my position is classified information of the Federation, and I’m afraid I can’t disclose it.”

Next was another foreign reporter.

“Mr. Lewis, some time ago, there were rumors of your death due to an accident. Are you aware of these rumors? And, you disappeared for a while before, can you explain the reason?”

Roy Lewis motioned for the reporter to sit down, “You’ve asked a good question, my friend. I don’t know who spread the news of my death, I was aware of it but not at the outset. During the time I was absent, I was undergoing brain surgery and then needed time to convalesce at home.”

The rumor that the President of Lewis Group was seriously ill and could die at any moment had been circulating for many years.

Hence, the fact that Roy Lewis was ill was never a secret; rather, it was common knowledge.

At the press conference, reporters asked one sharp question after another, but all were coolly and calmly neutralized by Roy Lewis.

The entire press conference was broadcast live.

Richelle Dunn and the children watched as their beloved husband and father ascended to the highest position of the Federation.

Meanwhile, those who had previously believed unquestioningly in the news of Roy Lewis’s death were now watching him “rise from the dead” in high spirits, veer from his former business path, and suddenly ascend to the high seat of Acting President of the Federation.

Three days ago, when Mason Lilliput learned of Kennedy Green’s critical condition, barely hanging on, he started rubbing his hands together in anticipation. He planned to propose moving next year’s presidential election forward with members of his faction.

He and his faction members had drafted the proposal in just three days and had decided to disclose Kennedy Green’s condition the day after tomorrow. They would submit the proposal to advance the election directly to try and catch the Green Faction off guard. freёweɓnovel.com

However, before he could reveal this, the Federation government announced a meeting.

Mason had assumed it would be a press conference for several Ministers to mitigate public concerns.

He couldn’t believe the first thing he saw at the press conference was Roy Lewis sitting among the Ministers.

Damn, was it a ghost?

Or did they just find someone to impersonate Roy Lewis?

By this time, Mason still firmly believed in the information that Roy Lewis was dead.

It wasn’t until the spokesperson publicly announced Kennedy Green’s injury that he began to realise something was wrong.

And then, he heard the spokesperson declare that Kennedy Green’s presidential position would be temporarily taken over by Roy Lewis.

Mason darkened.

It was well known that Kennedy Green’s success over the years, as well as his popularity among the people, were closely related to Roy Lewis’s behind-the-scenes assistance.
