"Alright." Henry nodded."I've misunderstood you again. Do you think I'm foolish and easily deceived?" Lydia asked."No, of course not. You're just overly concerned and have complete trust in Sarah."You'd surely spot the flaw immediately if it were anyone else." Henry found it difficult to believe himself."Really? You don't think I am stupid? Sometimes, I feel like I'm stupid!" Lydia said, frustrated."Why would you? You're the most intelligent woman in the world. Otherwise, how would you secure the position of CEO?" Henry showered her with compliments, almost forcing himself to shake his head."Secure the CEO position? I wish I could do that!"If it weren't for joining the Everising Chamber of Commerce and securing the cooperation with Fyman, someone would've removed me long ago." Lydia smiled bitterly."Oh?" Henry frowned."Isn't your family the largest shareholder in the Miller Group? Who dares to oppose you?""Yes, our family holds 70 percent of the shares, but 30 perce
"You?" Lydia shook her head."Forget about it. Even though our company is not one of those mega-corporations, we still need relevant certifications and experience.""Didn't you say you want me to join the company?""I was thinking about hiring you as a security guard at the company, which doesn't require much of a certification. But you can't handle anything in that position, right?"Henry sighed helplessly. "Am I only fit to be a security guard?""It's not just that!""What else then?""A janitor.""I would rather be a security guard." Henry was speechless. Although he had not attended college, he had numerous certificates."Do you really want to work at my company?" Lydia asked."Yeah!""As a security guard?""I will do whatever you ask. Anyway, these things don't really matter. My main goal is to help you stabilize, no, control the company."Henry shrugged."You're good at making empty promises. Okay, let me think about it and see what I can arrange for you."Lydia wa
When Lydia hung up the phone, Henry sighed helplessly."Cousin?""How else to explain it? We're getting a divorce soon. It's not good for either of us to have our relationship exposed right now," Lydia responded.Henry said, "I don't mind.""I do. Go back and rest well. Prepare for work tomorrow," Lydia said."Alright!"Henry stood up helplessly and left. As he approached the door, he ran into Jennifer and William, who had just returned. They looked at each other in shock.Jennifer was furious when she snapped back to her senses. "Henry, you bastard jinx! What did you do to my son, and how dare you come to our house?"Henry shrugged helplessly and slipped away from the side, finding it nearly impossible to communicate with someone like Jennifer.Jennifer was furious. She wanted to step forward and grab Henry, but she failed to do that.Jennifer lashed out at Lydia for failing to hold Henry.Lydia was incredibly frustrated, but she had no choice. In the end, all she could do
Even though the Miller Group was not particularly large, it was still in the top tier, with assets exceeding 150 million. It made investments in various industries, particularly real estate-related sectors such as steel sales.However, Lydia was now on the path of transformation. After all, the real estate industry was in decline, so she had been steering the company in new directions. Lydia personally promoted the collaboration with the Joneses in the cosmetics industry as one of the most important aspects.The next morning, Henry kept his promise and arrived at work early. He even wore a proper shirt and trousers for Lydia's sake, making him appear quite attractive. Due to the previous phone call, Henry arrived at the director's office door and knocked."Come in!"A pleasant female voice emanated from the room. Henry pushed the door open and was greeted by a stunning woman. Although not as beautiful as Lydia, she came close. Furthermore, she exuded a sensual charm that could easi
The sales department had two teams, and they were the second one. They had been trailing the first team for several months. The most important point was that they were already inferior to the first team. The top salesperson had recently left Cecilia's team, while a newcomer with no track record joined through his connections. She was helpless in the situation.The semi-annual review was only ten days away, and they were expected to receive harsh criticism."You seem unwelcoming to me, Ms. Leon," Henry said, attempting to calm the tense atmosphere as Cecilia expressed displeasure."How should I welcome you?" Cecilia responded coldly."Roll out the red carpet or kneel to greet you?" she asked sarcastically."You're good at joking, aren't you?" Henry responded with a bitter smile. He thought the girl was attractive, but she spoke harshly."You're Henry, right? Don't think about slacking off while on my team, regardless of your background. If you don't perform well, I will still ask
Cecilia's chest trembled with anger. She said coldly, "Don't be too cocky. There were ups and downs.""Is that so? I'll be waiting for that!""But don't end up getting scolded at the summary meeting." Melinda chuckled.The others felt angry and helpless."It's fine; I've been with them before. They're shameless and will not be afraid of being chastised." Wallace sneered sarcastically."By the way, I heard that you hired a particularly talented sales genius. Who is it? I'd like to meet him," Wallace said while deliberately glancing at Henry, indicating that he recognized him and was taunting him.He was the only newcomer there.Even though it had only been a day, everyone in the sales department knew about Henry.He had no education, work experience, or anything.In short, he was utterly useless and simply slacking off.Cecilia was irritated. Despite her dislike for Henry, she responded coldly, "Why does it matter to you? You're not one of our teammates. Is there a reason to i
Even though Wallace was a man, he was handsome. He even had affairs with some lady bosses.Henry frowned as he heard Melinda's words. "Is it true that our team's sales performance is inferior to yours?"If that's the case, let us compete," Henry said.Cecilia immediately interrupted Henry's suggestion, saying, "You're not the team leader. Who gave you the authority to make decisions regarding such a competition?"The others stared at Henry in disbelief. He was looking for trouble if he competed with the other team, and they were afraid he would drag them down with him.Melinda felt triumphant and laughed heartily. "Are you afraid of competing with us, Cecilia? Your team is full of garbage, and you still refuse to admit it.""Who said we're afraid of you?" Henry replied."Let's compete! The semi-annual sales summary meeting is only ten days away. Let's compare the sales performance of the year's first half," Henry said.Everyone was stunned by Henry's words.Cecilia was infuria
"Embarrassed?""What do you mean? I didn't embarrass myself." Henry looked perplexed. Could it be related to the bet? However, the outcome of the bet was yet to be known."How is it not embarrassing? Everyone now knows that the sales department employs someone with no education, no work experience, and, most importantly, a useless person who knows nothing," Lydia said angrily.There were various reasons why she was angry. Hilda had just given her a special report on Henry's work situation for the day.He was absolutely useless.Not only was he useless, but he made it clear to everyone. Everyone could not help but wonder who planted such a useless person there.That would put her, as the director, in a difficult situation.Lydia was angry when she learned that.Henry was upset when he heard that and asked, "Who said that? Who's talking nonsense?""Who said that? Would others think that of you if you weren't useless?""It was a mistake to place you in the company."Lydia's cel
