The Toyota Prado stopped in front of the Loxus Consortium.Queenie made a few calls on the road for someone to send a complete set of uniform and makeup in a van.Stepping out of the van half an hour later, she had turned into quite the delicate beauty.With her steadfast way of doing things, she wouldn’t waste a single second so she could rise to power.After making a few more phone calls, she realized that her position of the executive CEO wasn’t low at all. Out of the entire company, she would be considered as the second-in-command.But personnel and financial authority was still being governed by the head of the head house, Cory York.Queenie was in charge of marketing.No one would dare oppose Cory’s decision, either. After all, he was the true holder of the Loxus Consortium; he was the chairman and the CEO of the company.Cory had displayed enough respect to assign Queenie as the executive CEO after one phone call from Marcel.Queenie knew full well that some things just
Harvey didn’t say a single word. He only stood behind Queenie quietly, as if he was her bodyguard.He wanted to see how this so-called capable woman would control the people around her.Queenie ignored the crowd’s gaze completely and took the CEO’s seat.“My name is Queenie York. I’m sure you know who I am, so I’ll cut to the chase.”“I hosted this meeting today to tell you all this: the lord himself has appointed me to be in this position.“Everyone here has a deep connection with the Yorks of Hong Kong.”“I hope we’ll all help each other and stick together at any cost.”“I, Queenie, will never treat any of you poorly.”“Another thing. Let me introduce you all to another person, Harvey York.”“He has no position within the company. He’s just a consultant.”“But his words are my own.”“His requests are the same as mine!”“If you go against him, you go against me.”“Understood?!”Queenie’s resolve had taken control of the crowd. Not only did she reveal her greatest support
The man in the Givenchy suit put on an intimidating expression.“If you can’t take responsibility for all this, then I’m afraid your position might not stay yours for long.”“This kept man here won’t survive for much longer, either!”Harvey glanced at the man in the Givenchy suit, curious. What a fierce man!He was already disrespecting Queenie on her very first meeting!Was he not scared of dying in the hands of the Yorks?After all, Queenie’s identity was still ever present. That was a fact no one could ignore.After flipping through the files, Harvey finally figured out who the man was. His name was Dante Castro, and he was the marketing manager of the company.At the same time, he had quite an interesting identity. He was said to be the son of Cory’s butler, and was raised under his wing. He was considered to be Cory’s trusted subordinate as well.Even Vince would have to be polite to him.With this identity, it was only natural for Dante to be this fearless when facing t
At Dante’s words, the higher ups in the room had playful smiles on their faces.They knew he was using the opportunity to bring Queenie down.After all, everyone knew that Ishikawa Corporation had the best selling electronic appliances.Because of its cheap price, the products were sold all over the entire world.As they were trying to get into Country H’s market, they were looking for a local distributor.Even Cory’s secretary wasn’t good enough to make a deal.Since that was the case, then surely Dante had no chance to gain the corporation’s favor.Even if he did, the Ishikawa Corporation wouldn’t use such a poor excuse to cancel the deal.After Queenie took position, it would be plausible to make her take the blame instead.After all, who else could take the blame? She had quite a high status, after all.The higher ups were all on the same side as Dante.Nobody would stand up for Queenie.Everyone looked at Queenie with faint smiles, waiting to see how she would deal wit
Bang!Before Queenie could say anything, Harvey picked up an ashtray and slammed it furiously on the table.The loud bang froze the crowd completely. Even the higher ups who were running their mouths couldn’t help but go silent.After all, this was a meeting room. Everyone would usually only run their mouths, but nobody expected that someone would dare threaten the whole room by smashing an ashtray.Before the higher ups could react, Harvey exclaimed coldly, “Bunch of useless idiots!”“Every single one of you are higher ups of the company, but you can’t even get a deal from a small company from the Island Nations?”“The company kept you here for this crucial moment, but what happened? None of you can even complete such a simple task!”“You idiots!”“You people dress up all nice, filled to the brim with luxury items…”“I’m sure you’re well-respected by many.”“And, yet! Not only do you not care about your own company, but you’re also pushing blame when you’re the most needed!”
Dante was trembling in rage.“You b*stard! You’re calling everyone here trash?”“Are you trying to go against all of us here?”“Do you want to be in the company or not?!”“Even the CEO won’t dare to provoke us! What right do you have to talk sh*t in front of all of us?!”“Let me tell you something! Because of CEO York, the Ishikawa Corporation’s business is ruined! This isn’t over!”“Let me tell…”Slap, slap!Harvey swung his palm across Dante’s face twice, resolutely aloof all the way.“This isn’t over, you say?”“You think I can’t go against everyone here?”“You think I’m talking sh*t?”“What? Are you angry at me? Or are you questioning CEO York’s arrangements?”Harvey calmly brought out a document and flipped through the pages before slamming it on the table.“The marketing department’s job is to find business partners and make deals.”“Since Loxus Consortium is such a huge company, the CEO’s job is to keep everything under control.”“If we can’t even make a deal wit
“I’ve seen the documents. The Ishikawa Corporation isn’t even in the Island Nations’ top three companies. It’s just an ordinary company selling household appliances. What’s there to even boast about?”“As members of Loxus Consortium, you represent the Yorks of Hong Kong and Country H as a whole. Yet here you are, running your mouth when you can’t even deal with a bunch of Islanders. Despite that, you still want CEO York to deal with your damn mess?!”“How can you say something like that and stay in the company?”“What’s the point of giving you people hundreds and thousands of dollars worth of yearly salaries when you’re just slacking off?!”Harvey walked forward and tapped Dante mockingly on the face.“If you think you’re not capable enough to do your damn job, then get out of here! Stop blaming others for your incompetence!”“Do you understand me?!”Dante’s eyes kept twitching after being tapped in the face constantly…However, he dared not challenge Harvey’s words.He knew
Harvey had both pictures and statements detailing Dante’s spendings. His barrage of questions enraged and terrified Dante at the same time.Dante thought he could hide his wrongdoings, and that no one would find out…But he didn’t think that Harvey would expose him on the spot.“You receive hundreds and thousands of dollars every single year! That’s twice as much money compared to some of the higher ups!”“Yet, you’re not grateful about it at all! You’re spending almost a hundred and fifty thousand dollars every single month just to fool around!”“If you say you’re working hard because of this…”“I’ll acknowledge it.”“But don’t tell me you can’t even get a measly contract after working so hard!”“If you can’t even do such a simple thing, I’m afraid I’ll have to question your so-called hard work.”“If you can’t do a good job in your position, I’m sure someone else will be more than happy to take your place!”Not only did Harvey point out Dante’s salary, he even mentioned the
