Leo was the chairman’s godson, a prestigious person in the company, and also someone Lester was trying to flatter. “Where’s Kaze Lee? Tell him to meet me and we’ll talk about it.” Leo smiled as he took the report from his men. Soon, Kaze came out. “Brother Lee, this is Vice Manager Leo Lionel.” Lester introduced Kaze to Leo. “Leo?” Kaze was surprised. “I bet you didn’t expect me to be your superior,” Leo said with a grin. Then, he shredded the report that Lester sent him into pieces. Everyone else was surprised and baffled. Leo then said coldly, “An idiot with a mental disability getting a job here at Lefteria Group? Who recruited you?” Kaze had a mental disability? Everyone looked at Kaze in shock, including Lester. Lester stammered, “M-Mr. Lionel, I don’t know what happened. Pauline from HR brought him to us and told me to help him start work.” Pauline, the HR from Golden Shield Security Company, was brought over. “You are from Golden Shield? Well, you a
“I thought even Mr. Lionel looked down on him. Why would the chairman be so polite to him?” “Is he some mysterious VIP?!” Everyone looked at Kaze in shock. They knew their chairman well. Alan was a notorious underworld lord twenty years ago. He retired from gang life and turned his company legitimate, yet he remained a man of his word in the city. Even the mayor would have to be humble before him and call him Mr. Cummingham. If a man like Alan treated Kaze with such humility and politeness, then Kaze must be someone important. Kaze said, “Mr. Cummingham, I am not here to visit, I am here to work.” “Mr. Lee, you really know how to make a joke.” Alan did not believe him at all. The chairman of Perfect World Group and Shangrila Group working at his Lefteria Group? Who would believe it? Kaze shot a glance at Ruby. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask your HR director. Before you came in, she wanted to fire me and ask the security guards to throw me out on the street
Darcy was the chairwoman of Quartet Group. Only the position of vice manager was appropriate for Kaze’s current status. Alan believed since he already agreed to Kaze's staying, why not do him a favor and give him the nominal title of vice manager? Kaze smiled and shook his head. “It’s fine. I like being the security manager. I kinda enjoy talking with the boys, it’s relaxing.” If he became a vice manager in Lefteria Group on his first day, he would not know how to explain it to Darcy. Darcy would never believe he got the position with his own capabilities and would assume Miru helped him. If so, it would put Kaze in a passive position before Miru. He did not want Darcy to think that she owed Miru a lot and could not be proud in front of that woman. “Alright. I’ll tell HR to make the necessary changes.” Alan called his assistant over to give the order. Suddenly, he thought of what he saw downstairs and remembered he owed Kaze an explanation. He said to his assistant
Alan Cummingham, the man who used to rule the underworld, sounded humble and polite on the phone. On the other end of the phone was the man known as the No. 1 Doctor in South River State, Charles Anemo. Even wealthy families of Sunrise City would have to humble themselves before the man, let alone Lilyrose’s ex-gangster. It was a trend for rich people to cherish their health. They might not live for five hundred years but they would spend a fortune to live as long as possible by staying as healthy as they can. Charles was famous because he saved a lot of people from dying and he was famous among wealthy families. Alan had a history with Charles, so he was able to ask the man to come to Lilyrose. Otherwise, no matter how rich or influential a person was, he would have to go meet Charles in person instead of the other way around. Charles was at Sunrise City at the moment so he agreed to visit on the same day. …After coming out of Alan’s office, Kaze returned to the se
“Yes, Brother Lee! We’ll go run after work!” As if Lester and the security guards were triggered by Kaze’s nonchalance, they replied strongly and promised to run after work. Kaze did not say anything and left the office. He was bored, so he thought of visiting Darcy at her company. He headed to Clover Center. The first floor was still in a mess as the trucks were moving office supplies into the building. “Mr. Lee!” Riley, who was in charge of coordinating the trucks and liaising with the moving company, saw Kaze. She came over with a bright smile, showing admiration and gratitude. “You are working already? Why didn’t you take two days off?” Kaze simply asked. Riley answered, “Ms. Quint rewarded me with two million dollars and she’s already working hard. As her assistant, I can’t just slack at home. Besides, I was no longer scared when you shoved the cigar into Dave Pamela’s mouth.” Kaze’s ferocity the other day left an impression on her. He was looking extremely coo
“I went, and I got the job,” Kaze smiled. Darcy breathed a sigh of relief before she glared at Kaze and continued lecturing him, “If you got the job, why aren’t you working? Why are you loitering here? That’s a company that you are working for, not your house!” Kaze looked at her affectionately. She went through so much just to protect his pride and chose to lie to him with her lousy acting. “That’s because I got promoted to security manager. I lead a team of security guards now and I have flexible working hours.” “Really? You got promoted on your first day?” Darcy was surprised. While Kaze excused himself to the washroom, she called Miru to verify. She thought Miru gave Kaze the position of manager because of her, which made her feel bad. She had only wanted a simple job for Kaze, like a common security guard. Yet Miru made him a manager, which made Darcy feel that she owed her friend big time. “Darcy, I just got the notice as well. Kaze beat up the security guards o
“What are you talking about, Miru?” Ruby screamed. Miru strode over to Ruby and slapped her in the face. “Mind your words. Who gave you the right to say my name?” Ruby covered her face as her body shuddered in anger and embarrassment. Leo’s expression turned grim. “Miru, Ruby is an executive of the company. How can you just slap her?” Slap! Miru slapped him before he could finish. “Executive? Don’t forget what Lefteria Group started as. Other company’s systems don't apply here. If she’s disrespectful, she’s going to get slapped!” Ruby looked at the palm mark on Leo’s face and suddenly felt that her slap did not hurt that much. “Miru, you crossed the line!” Leo covered his face and shouted back. Miru did not care. She turned around and walked to the exit. “Leo, I got Kaze into the company, so he’s under me. You embarrassed him in front of others means you embarrassed me. Why can’t I slap you for it? If there’s another time, I will slap you again!” Bang! She slamm
“Hehehe.” Angel laughed grimly. “Don’t be so resistant, Mr. Lionel. My king isn’t interested in Lefteria Group. There’s only room for one Godfather of Lilyrose in the underworld.“With your godfather gone, Lefteria Group enters a new era with you at the helm.“When that happens, no one would have the audacity to lay a hand on you.” Leo touched his face. Ruby’s words haunted him, slowly poisoning his mind. As malice flickered in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and asked, “When do we strike?” “Tomorrow. We will aid you whenever possible.” Angel went ahead and told the time, probably knowing Leo would eventually come around. “Aid me? I doubt I have the ability to kill Alan.” Leo scoffed. He did not want to do it himself. Leo was playing with fire by working together with Angel. The murder of his godfather could be linked back to him, and he would be forced to take the blame. Angel said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Mr. Lionel. We won’t sell you out. Otherwise, no one
