After hanging up, Kaze got a notification of a wired transfer. Lock gave him 10 thousand dollars to purchase a fitting suit when he was on his way to Golden Scale Corporation. Kaze had to accept Lock’s kindness. Lock would call and give him another earful if Kaze refused. Kaze had no intention of buying or wearing a formal suit. The owner did not need to dress up like the other employees at his place of business. Leaving Rose to roam around the house, Kaze drove the Phaeton from Kent and arrived at the city’s commercial street. Golden Scale Corporation’s office building had quite a visual impact, especially when the public looked up to its sheer size.The building was filled with well-dressed individuals, all looking like they were important businesspeople.Kaze found a spot to park the car before taking strides into the building. He quickly spotted Cyan standing in the crowd. Cyan wore a simple blouse and shorts, showing the skin of her long neck and long legs. A pai
Cyan was in the culture and entertainment division of Golden Scale Corporation. However, she brought Kaze to a sub-department of one of Golden Scale Corporation’s many business divisions. This department was primarily responsible for government procurement projects.Golden Scale Corporation was able to expand due to its connections with the Viper’s Den. These privileges demanded respect from both sides.Golden Scale Corporation acquired many government contracts thanks to these privileges. As Cyan had informed beforehand, the line manager welcomed Kaze with open arms upon their arrival. Kaze’s onboarding was processed swiftly. “Congratulations, Kaze. You’re now a temporary employee at Golden Scale Corporation, making three thousand dollars a month. “Work hard to pass the probation. With hard work, you might catch up to me and make millions in a year,” Cyan said while dumping the paperwork on Kaze. “That reminds me. My dad said that he would make the downpayment for your
“Hadn’t I mentioned earlier? I’m here to check out our new employee.” Wesley’s gaze fell on Kaze, and he said with a pretentious smile, “You sure are lucky, Kaze. You managed to walk out of Bronze Sparrow alive last night.”“Mr. Gwake, what does Kaze have to do with Bronze Sparrow?”Cyan was taken aback. She had heard about Bronze Sparrow. Even Cyan could not get into the high-end club, but somehow, Kaze gained access there. Cyan looked at Kaze in disbelief. She pondered on the possibility that Kaze lived in Wyomspring. Both places were rather abstract concepts to Cyan. Given the exclusive clientele to Bronze Sparrow, the same people on the list would be able to afford Wyomspring too.Wesley scoffed. “Stop guessing, Cyan. Buffy had her birthday party at Bronze Sparrow last night. He was just somebody’s plus-one to get free food. He upset Mr. Presley and nearly got himself killed.” “Oh, I see.” As the realization hit Cyan, she looked at Kaze in disdain. “Can you be a
“Get it to your head that without Buffy’s help, Mr. Presley and I would’ve set you straight, Lee,” Wesley said menacingly, his finger up Kaze’s nose. “Alright. Just carry on living in your fantasy.” Kaze smiled nonchalantly. Cyan furrowed her brows at Kaze’s sarcastic remark and said, “That’s enough, Kaze. Mr. Gwake is your superior. Have some respect. “If you need to get along with Mr. Gwake to work here.“Get it?” Wesley smirked. “If he gets it, he won’t be working here in the first place.“No offense but I can understand why you pulled some strings to get him a job, Cyan. Still, you should teach him some basic manners. “He’s talking back to his superior before he’s even a permanent employee here. I can’t imagine the things he’d do later.” Cyan said in resignation, “I’m sorry, Mr. Gwake. I didn’t know that he needed a lesson in manners.” “That’s fine. I can’t blame you.” Wesley waved his arm and said with a fake smile, “I’ll show the newbie the ropes.” He turned
Wesley spoke without courtesy, showing no respect to Cyan. He wanted to frame Kaze and embarrass him for what happened at Bronze Sparrow last night. Cyan was left speechless after listening to him. If she was not worried about her parents arguing over Kaze, she would not have spoken up. While the others gloated at him, Kaze picked up the purchasing list and went through it. “Riverbank Housing and Renewal Department, Traffic Department, Department of Health and Welfare…” Kaze read the names on the list and then asked without looking, “Wesley, as long as I can bring them here to sign the contract, then I can become a permanent employee here?” “That’s right!” Wesley looked up proud and scoffed. “You have one week. If you can reach out to them and let them sign the purchasing order, not only will I make you a permanent employee but I will also give you a 10% commission on each order. Other employees are only getting 4%. “But let me make this straight for you. If you can’t
Wesley’s expression turned ashen. He said coldly, “Kaze Lee, this is not the time for that. Stop fooling around! I have given you the task and if you cannot complete it, you leave! We do not hire useless trash!” Kaze chuckled. “Useless trash? Are you referring to yourself?” He then texted with his phone. “What is the meaning of that, Kaze Lee?!” Wesley widened his eyes angrily. Kaze was acting like a madman before him. Kaze continued with a smile, “Wesley, you said the company doesn’t hire useless trash, yet you don’t even recognize Derek Freehold of the Housing and Renewal Department and Timothy Pullman of the Traffic Department. “You said you’ve been on this case for a long time and still can’t close the deal? Can I suspect that you don’t even know how to contact those two departments? Who is the useless trash here?” His expression turned scornful as he mocked Wesley. Derek and Timothy were the director and chief of their respective departments. Both of them were in
Kaze calmly said, “Then let’s wait and see. In half an hour, I’ll make you look like an embarrassing fool.” Wesley was shaking with anger as Kaze mocked him. He was Jude’s nephew. Even though distant, he would still be respected in the upper circle of Riverbank. Yet not even he could get to meet the director and chief to get them to sign the purchasing contracts. Kaze simply made a phone call and said he could get them to sign the contract in person within half an hour. Who did he think he was? Wesley could not stand Kaze’s pretentious act. He wanted to slap Kaze but it would only result in him getting slapped back. It was unlikely that he could land a slap on Kaze. He wisely suppressed the urge. Many other employees wanted to curry favor with Wesley. Seeing how Kaze mocked him in front of the employees, a rather beautiful employee stepped up and said with a smirk, “Sir, you don’t have to be angry about this guy. He is here in less than half an hour and he doesn’t eve
“If you keep scolding him and he gets so angry that he jumps off the building, what are you going to do then?” Wesley said with a smirk, mocking Kaze. “That’s his problem for being mentally weak, not mine!” Cyan grunted coldly and then continued, “Kaze, you better apologize to Wesley and the others, or else you are going to be fired within thirty minutes on your first day. You are embarrassing me!” She hated Kaze to the core. Not only was he useless and a coward, but he also aggrandized himself and bragged just to look good. Furthermore, he did it in front of her. Others might not know him well, but Cyan was different. There was no reason for him to brag in front of her. He was kicked out by his wife’s family in Lilyrose and came to her father for help. He was in the slums of his life yet he had the nerve to say that he could bring the director and chief of different government departments over with just one call. Cyan felt ridiculous. If Kaze was that capable, she wo
