He knows

Before James left the meeting room far, a man in a neat suit came rushing because he had just come from far away while running.

 "Why don't you just call? It's a waste of your energy," James said. He was a little pitiful when he saw one of his old subordinates walking around in a daze.

 "S-sorry sir, it would be presumptuous for me to do that. I-I want to tell you that there are 10 company units that have submitted a cooperation agreement with us," said the man. He looked very shocked because he was surprised by the news he conveyed

 James wasn't surprised at all, like he already knew it was going to happen. Whatever it looks like now, it was part of James' plan.

 "Just do the cooperation procedure as usual, I have some business to do. Prepare the documents that I need to sign. Tomorrow if possible there will be a meeting between the companies that work with us," said James with dignity, he looked calm and unpretentious.
