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
“Alright. Talk to you later, Cyan.” Wesley waved at Cyan and then turned around to light a cigarette. He took a puff, then looked at Kaze. “Kaze Lee, are you leaving, or should I make you? Here at Golden Scale Corporation, you are no match for me.” Kaze wore a poker face and said, “Who said that?” “Me!” Wesley spat a cloud of smoke in his face. Kaze smirked and said, “I’m sorry but you are not going to matter very soon.” Wesley scoffed. “What? Are you trying to get me out of the company…” “Who is Wesley Gwake?” Before he could finish, the voice of a middle-aged woman sounded across the office, followed by a group of people entering. The owner of the voice was the leader of the group. Upset, Wesley furrowed his brows and said, “I am. What is this about? You don’t know me? Who are you? Who gave you permission to come in here? Get out!” He spoke sternly like a department manager and scolded the people who had barged in. The woman glanced at him and said, “I am
Wesley turned in shock to see someone who made him clench his teeth. “Collier! It’s you!” Collier, with both his arms in casts, strolled in with a group of men. “Wesley Gwake, I heard you talk shit about me yesterday at Bronze Sparrow. You must have a death wish,” Collier said coldly as he arrived. Wesley might be arrogant but he paled in comparison to Collier. His heart skipped a beat when he heard Collier. He stuttered, “C-Collier, i-it’s a misunderstanding!” “Misunderstanding my ass!” Collier kicked Wesley, sending him crashing into a desk. Wesley fell on the floor with his hand over his stomach, groaning in pain. Collier then gestured at the people from the disciplinary office. “Bunch of useless shit. You can’t even take care of this properly? Take him away and don’t let him ever appear before my master’s eyes!” Master? Everyone else was shocked. Collier’s status and authority were second to Hannah in the company, yet he referred to someone as master. Wesley
“You want to make me the chairman? Is it because you are afraid that I won’t blow my cover?” Kaze had a frosty glance at Collier. Collier’s heart raced. He quickly said, “No, sir! That’s not what I meant! I mean it’s completely fine with the current situation but I think it’s not that appropriate for you to become a new recruit and an ordinary employee. “Why not become a team leader or something like middle management? You won’t have to worry about your identity and you can participate in the company’s affairs.” Kaze nodded in agreement. “Interesting. Then let’s go with your suggestion. Just put me in Wesley’s position.” “The Sales Department’s manager? I guess that’s middle management as well. Alright. It’s fixed!” Collier nodded. He straightened his back, and turned around to the other employees but with a different expression. Kaze smiled. Collier was a natural in serving others as a loyal dog. “Welcome Manager Lee!” The team leader of the department, Ronald, was the
Half an hour later, Kaze arrived at the mayor’s residence. He parked the car outside the house and noticed Kent and his family waiting for him at the front yard entrance. Myra, Kent’s daughter, was also behind her parents, looking lively and healthy. Other than Kent and his family, there was another young man who looked tall and stern. The young man then said, “Mr. Synder, this is more than enough. I’ll have to make a move first. I will be in Riverbank from now on, and there’ll be more chances to visit you and Mrs. Synder. Of course, Myra as well.” A few more chatters later, the young man walked out. An army green jeep with a military number plate arrived before him. Kaze was just walking into the front yard and the young man noticed him. He knew Kaze was also a visitor to the mayor’s residence, so he nodded respectfully. He hopped into the jeep and left the premises. Kent was surprised to see Kaze. He came over quickly and said, “Kaze, you’re here already?” “Dere
It was surprising to Kent and Jane that their daughter displayed such intimacy toward Kaze. Strictly speaking, it was Myra’s first time meeting Kaze in person. Even though they met twice before inside the house, the girl was still under another’s control and was not being herself. The two of them could not understand the situation, so they simply assumed Myra was grateful that Kaze had saved her, hence the intimate interaction. “Okay, Myra,” Kaze said with a helpless smile. He liked the innocent and adorable girl quite a bit. Myra nodded happily. She then dragged Kaze into the house and made him tea. “The girl is like a completely different person now. She rarely even made me tea,” Kent said with a helpless smile. He was quite jealous of Kaze. Kaze smiled, but when he glanced at Jane, he slightly furrowed his brows. “Mr. Mayor, I thought Myra had already recovered. Yet your wife seems troubled. Is there anything else troubling you?” Jane looked anxious. The smile that s
