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
“You mean…?” Queenie frowned. She didn’t know exactly what Harvey was planning.“Get the folks from Ishikawa Corporation here this afternoon.”“Tell them to come at exactly three o’clock. If they miss the time, we’ll end the deal right there and then,” Harvey explained.“You’re so sure that they’ll come?” Queenie asked curiously.“They will.”Harvey’s face was blank.“Didn’t I tell you? They’ve been trying to get into Country H’s market, but they just couldn’t find the chance.”“Their so-called low-margin products are essentially them dumping their stuff.”“Both countries and enterprises won’t allow them to do such a thing.”“It’ll affect the entire country’s market after all.”“Plus, household appliances are daily necessities. Once they start dumping their products in, the citizens’ lives will be affected at best. At worst, there will be civil unrest.”“Simply put, Ishikawa Corporation does not harbor any good intentions by getting into Country H’s market.”“They know fu
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Harvey and Queenie arrived at the meeting room.Even though Harvey wanted to crush these Islanders very badly, business was business. Since he requested everyone to meet up at three o’clock, he had no choice but to follow his word. This was one of the basic rules of the business world.Before the two could enter the guest hall, a loud slap could be heard.Slap!“Damn you!”“Those b*stards! How dare they make our representative wait for five whole minutes?!”“Do you people only know how to slack off?!”“Doesn’t she know that they have to be an hour earlier than the time we agreed on?!”“You people have no concept of time! That’s the only reason why the Island Nations have the upper hand in the far east territory!”“Tell Queenie she only has three more minutes!”“If she doesn’t get here by then, both her and Loxus Consortium will pay for this!”Harvey and Queenie frowned. According to Harvey’s speculation, Ishikawa Corporation wanted the coll
“He came early because he’s a smart man. He could tell that something’s off,” Harvey replied calmly.“He should’ve already known that we’ll cancel the deal if he doesn’t come here by three o’clock.”“Why?” Queenie frowned.“According to your and Dante’s deal, you’ll have to pack your things and leave the company if you can’t get the deal in a day.”“Aren’t you supposed to be scared?”“Why should I be?”“I only said that I’ll get the deal. I never specified who I’d get it from,” Harvey said, still calm.“If the deal gets canceled here, I’ll just make a call and get the head of the Ishikawa family to kneel in front of me, begging me to sign the contract tomorrow morning.”Seeing Harvey’s nonchalant expression, Queenie knew what it meant to be domineering.Harvey and Queenie approached the few female staff while they were chatting.A woman wearing gold-frame glasses who seemed like a secretary took a step forward.“You two seem like a bunch of arrogant people. You must be the
A female staff member couldn't hold back her feelings.“Hong Kong is our place! You Islanders don’t have a right to show off here!”“Ha? You dare talk back at me, you b*tch?!”The secretary shot the staff member a cold glare.“We don’t have a right? Us Islanders have a powerful status! Ishikawa Corporation has products sold all over the world! With just a single word, we can blacklist your company entirely!”“What did you say?”“Are you angry?”“Hit me, then!”“Hit me already!”“I’ll be impressed if you can actually do that!”The secretary moved her face toward the female staff member to provoke the latter.Slap!Harvey took a step forward and sent the secretary flying with a hard slap.“I’ve never heard of such a strange request. You all heard it here first. She was the one who asked me to hit her.”“I’ve hit you now. What are the consequences?”The arrogant-looking secretary smashed right into the ground after being sent flying by Harvey’s painful slap. Her orifices bl
“This is my fault, Secretary Akina. This all happened because of me.”“Whether you want to sue or arrest someone, I’ll take all the blame.”Olivia was a little frightened, but she still raised her head up in front of Taichi and the rest of the Islanders.“This has nothing to do with the company, nor does it have anything to do with this young man!”“You have no say in that! The company has no right to butt in either.”“Even if Cory or Vince comes, they have no say either!”Taichi finally spoke at this very moment. He waved his hand, signaling his secretary to calm herself.He then crossed his arms and took a step forward, displaying the full extent of his scummy demeanor. “Only I have the final say in the matter!”Taichi slept with quite a lot of celebrities from small countries, and had threatened a lot more women during his trips to negotiate in place of Ishikawa Corporation. He was even sworn brothers with some of the oil princes in the Middle East.Safe to say that wher
Secretary Akina was crying while she talked on the phone, putting on a helpless look as if she had suffered quite a bit. It was quite the pitiful sight.But immediately after she hung up, her cold and distant look reappeared in an instant.“Just you wait! How dare you hit me?!”“When Master York’s here, he’ll deal with you first!”“Let me warn you: none of you can get out unscathed today!”With immense support behind Secretary Akina’s back, she felt she was invincible.Before Harvey could say anything, Olivia already cut him off with a frightened look on her face.“Forget it! We can’t escalate things any further!”“We’ll get fired if we do!”Olivia didn’t know who Taichi and the others called, but a person called Master York could only be from the Yorks of Hong Kong.She was certain if someone from the family were to come, not only would she be in trouble, but Harvey and Queenie would also be dragged into the situation!As a woman from Hong Kong, she understood full well wha
