Ackermann Pharmaceutical was currently headed by the patriarch of the Ackermann family, Oswald Ackermann. However, Oswald was already planning to step down.
Therefore, all the pharmaceutical company's affairs were mainly handled by his two sons.
Like father, like son—Oswald was a man of real substance, and his eldest son, Abel Ackermann, was equally impressive.
In Blumedale, Abel was regarded as being on the same level as Elon from the Goldings, Xavier from the Haywoods, and Quinton from the Wrights—all top-tier heirs from prestigious families.
However, Oswald's younger son, Horatio Ackermann, was quite lacking in comparison. Perhaps it was true that when God opened one door, he must close another.
Abel was exceptionally talented and a renowned young entrepreneur.
Horatio, on the other hand, was a complete good-for-nothing who spent his days drinking, partying, and chasing women.
Unfortunately for Andrew, when he arrived at the Ackermann family company, he encountered Horatio.
"Ugh, not another guy coming for money! Get out of here. I've got no cash for you, and I'm busy doing real business!"
In an office decked out in tacky decor, Horatio was lip-locked with a secretary in black stockings when Andrew walked in, and his arrival earned nothing but irritation and a brush-off.
Outside, in the reception lounge, several others were still lingering; every single one of them had come to collect money owed by the Ackermanns. None had succeeded. All had been told to get lost.
"It's useless, trust me—we've all tried. The Ackermanns are shameless."
Another grumbled, "Their family pharmaceutical business makes tons of money daily, yet they refuse to pay their debts. The Ackermann family really is inhuman!"
"The person in charge is hiding and won't see anyone, just sending out this spoiled brat to deal with us. Mr. Abel is really ruthless," they muttered with frustration.
These complaints echoed in Andrew's ears. Seeing him get kicked out, the others all showed sympathetic looks.

Brilliant piece of work. I am enjoying the novel. The only problem is that it is taking longer to update more chapters....
