“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
The man was the director of the Housing and Renewal Department, Derek Freehold. After he spoke, the other government departments’ chiefs and directors behind him nodded at Kaze and introduced themselves respectfully. Everyone in the room was stunned, including Wesley and Cyan. Was it really happening before their eyes? One call and Kaze brought forth five people in charge of different government departments? It was unbelievable. Most importantly, not only did they arrive within half an hour, but they also looked afraid that they had kept Kaze waiting. How could this be? Wesley and Cyan could not understand why the directors and chiefs would respect a man whom they looked down upon as if he was some prominent figure. “Impossible!” Wesley could not believe his eyes. He looked at Derek and the others, shouting, “Are you people paid actors? Did Kaze hire you for this fiasco? Impersonating a government official is a crime! “Ronald, call the police! Arrest them immediat
Even though Golden Scale Corporation had been negotiating with Derek and the others for some time now, due to the instability of the company’s management previously, they chose to wait and observe first. Now, they signed the contract without even looking at it, which was shocking. “Mr. Lee, it’s done.” Derek kept his pen and handed the contract to Kaze respectfully. Kaze took it with one hand and said with a smile, “Thank you for coming, guys. I am in your debt.” “It’s nothing, Mr. Lee! Anytime!” “It’s our honor to serve you, Mr. Lee!” Derek and the others smiled and nodded politely. Although they were unclear of Kaze’s background and status, he was the first young man that Kent, the mayor, invited to lunch personally. Derek and the others were smart enough to understand the reason why Kent invited them over to have a meal with Kaze before this. It was not just a meal or a simple introduction. Kent was hinting at them to listen to Kaze and serve him well. The so-c
Tap! Wesley slapped Kaze’s hand away and said coldly, “Three million of commission? Keep dreaming! This company is not yours! “Not only will you not get the 10%, but you also won’t even get the original 4%! And you want to be a permanent employee on the first day? There’s no rule about that! Probation for all new recruits is at least a month!” It was a surprise that Wesley backed away from his promise, even when the other employees were watching. Kaze narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “So you are not keeping your promise? That’s not what you said earlier.” Wesley grunted coldly. “I said it but what I meant is that you have to make them agree to sign the contracts for me to keep my promise. “But what did you do? Everyone saw you make a phone call and that’s it. You called that work? You really think you made a call and they came over to sign the contract?” Kaze smiled. “Did I not? If it’s so easy, why didn’t you call them and ask them to sign it before this?” “Hmph! If
