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
Everyone grew a little sluggish at the sight. They were in utter disbelief.The biggest thorn in the entire company, Dante, was taken down by Harvey so easily!At first, everyone wanted to see how Queenie and Harvey would show their strength…None of them expected Dante to give in so quickly.The change was extremely quick, so much that it was shocking.Some who initially wanted to make a joke out of Queenie were in a confused daze.“It’s good that you acknowledge your faults,” Harvey said calmly.“I’ll give you three days.”“If you can get the contract with Ishikawa Corporation within three days, we’ll reimburse you however you please.”“You’ll have whatever amount of yearly salary you want.”“But if you can’t do that, I want you out of the company. Is that fine with you?”“Of course… If the other higher ups have confidence in this deal, you may go for it as well.”“Whichever one of you gets the contract will receive the same treatment Manager Castro gets.”“I’m a man of
“Fine, then!”Dante’s courage was boosted by his immense hatred.“We have a deal!”“If you can get the contract in a single day, I’ll chop off my own hand!”“But if you can’t, then I do hope that I don’t see your sorry *sses in this office building ever again!”“Everyone here is a witness!”“Whoever goes against their word is a useless coward!”The room was dead silent. …Half an hour later, inside the executive CEO’s office.The office wasn’t that big, being only a thousand square feet wide. There weren’t a lot of decorations inside the room since nobody had used it before. Only a table, a chair, and a couch were inside.But since the office was facing the ocean, it had quite the refreshing atmosphere. Harvey was quite content with this.He leaned on the couch while squinting at the horizon, a calm look on his face.“Thanks for standing up for me.”Queenie poured a cup of tea and handed it to Harvey.“If it weren’t for you, I would’ve suffered quite a bit.”“You would
