Upon hearing that, Lydia and Hilda's expressions changed slightly. Lydia, in particular, was well aware that Henry lacked any formal education. He was a bumpkin from the mountains.Marco, who knew both of them well, noticed their reactions and felt pleased; he would not let them be at ease that day. Most importantly, he intended to use that opportunity to bring Hilda down.If he could secure the position of Sales Director, losing Melinda would be insignificant.Melinda and the others had not yet left, so they felt relieved. Seeing Henry in trouble made them feel a lot better."Ms. Wood, why the silence? Had he not attended university?" Marco asked purposefully.That statement stunned everyone in the room.Cecilia's expression also shifted. She was concerned after learning from Hilda that Henry lacked any formal education.For some reason, she did not want Henry to be kicked out of the company in that manner.Hilda remained calm and said firmly, "In my opinion, educational backg
It was clear Marco was attempting to drag Hilda down.Lydia's expression changed dramatically. Hilda was her most powerful ally in the company. If Hilda got in trouble, it would significantly impact her.Cecilia and the others became increasingly nervous.Henry chuckled and said, "You're impressive, Mr. White. With only a few words, you're attempting to shift the blame to Ms. Wood. Are you so eager to bring her down?""No, Ms. Wood is a pillar of our company who has made significant contributions. Why would I have such thoughts?" Marco retorted quickly."Oh, yes, Ms. Wood is truly outstanding. Whatever happens, it will not affect her, right?"Marco was dumbfounded when he realized he was once again trapped by Henry's words. He responded coldly, "Stop the nonsense and justify yourself."If she did something wrong, she would face the consequences. After all, just because she has merits doesn't mean she can do whatever she wants in the workplace."Furthermore, with merits come cor
Marco was furious when he finally figured everything out.He never expected Henry, whom he despised, to cause him such harm.On the other hand, Hilda's admiration and surprise for Henry grew. In her opinion, Henry must have meticulously planned that trap, and it was not something that an ordinary person could pull off.Nonetheless, the central question of how Henry entered the company remained unanswered.If the crisis were not appropriately addressed, it would only persist.Marco suppressed the desire to kill Henry and said coldly, "Henry, after all that talk, you still haven't explained what qualifications you have for Ms. Wood to recruit you into the company?"Henry shook his head, frowning. "Are your ears not working, Mr. White? I just stated that my experiences are too terrifying to share with you."That infuriated Marco, who retorted angrily, "Just say it if you don't have abilities; don't lie."If you can't give us a reasonable explanation today, you will not only be kic
Lydia could not help but smile bitterly. She did not expect Henry to pull it off. He had even prepared a fake certificate.However, such information could be easily verified by contacting the appropriate university.The others were also astounded. They never expected Henry to do such a foolish thing.Cecilia smiled bitterly. She believed Henry was capable of doing such a thing. Furthermore, Hilda had already stated that he lacked academic qualifications.Hilda sighed, realizing there was no way out of that situation.However, Henry smiled and asked, "Who said it's a fake?""I did!" Marco exclaimed and burst into laughter."It would be better if you showed us a certificate from an unknown university. It would've been more difficult for me to verify it."Do you think you can fool us with a fake Hafferd University certificate? Are you trying to insult us?"'What? Damn it! This guy must be insane! He got an honorary professorship certificate from Hafferd University?! That was extr
Marco quickly scanned the list of names, but Henry was not on it, as expected."Why can't I find your name anywhere, Henry?" Marco asked mockingly."Are you still going to claim that the certificate is not a fake?""No, of course. The fact that my name is missing doesn't imply that it's a forgery. Have you consulted the university or the dean?" Henry shot back."Enough of avoiding the issue! If I were to look further into this, it would be a legal mess. You'll end up in jail for faking documents." Marco snapped."I didn't fabricate anything." Henry shrugged. "Go ahead and check.""Okay, you asked for it. You'll regret it," Marco said.Lydia felt worried and helpless. Henry could be doing all of that for the company's benefit."Henry, you might be able to get away with it if it were someone else. But luckily for me, I know a vice dean at Hafferd University and have his contact information."I'm calling him right now, in front of everyone. If he doesn't know you, prepare to face
Henry shrugged helplessly. He tried to keep a low profile, but when everyone kept asking questions, he had no choice but to reveal his credentials. He might have expected a wave of admiration from the ladies following the meeting, with Lydia perhaps unable to resist throwing herself at him.Marco's face darkened as he stared intently at Henry, trying to pick up any hints or clues."So, have you confirmed everything, Mr. White?" Henry asked with a slight smile. "I've told you—the certificate is genuine. Shouldn't you return it to me now?""Of course, here it is." Marco instructed his assistant to return the certificate to Henry and glanced at Hilda. Marco asked, "But with such a credential, why would you be satisfied with being a salesman? Ms. Wood is probably unaware of the certificate, right?""Who says so? Don't blame me for suspecting you, but what's your intention to continue aggressively targeting Ms. Wood?" Henry retorted loudly."Are you trying to persecute a hero and bring
Aside from Hilda, Lydia also shared the same idea. She agreed wholeheartedly.Henry would have more opportunities for advancement, which would benefit his future.Cecilia was also pleased about it. Even though it meant losing a powerful talent and potentially gaining a formidable opponent, she was happy for Henry.However, Henry was dumbfounded. He had never considered becoming the sales team leader. It would get him in more trouble and prevent him from relaxing as much as a regular salesman would.Marco's expression also darkened. He had been kind enough to let Henry off the hook, who was then pushed into a leadership role.However, if Marco were to deny that request, it would undoubtedly result in widespread criticism and damage to his authority.'Oh, well, let him lead the sales team for now. I have many ways to deal with him later!'Marco had a good idea that would teach Henry a terrifying lesson. Perhaps Henry would not be able to return to the company soon.Marco smiled a
"Alright, I'll take up the position right after the meeting," Henry said with a smile.Lydia sighed with relief and said, "Since that's settled, let's end today's meeting here."Her statement marked the meeting's official end.Lydia whispered to Hilda, "Tell Henry to come to my office later. I have something to ask him.""Alright," Hilda said, nodding. Henry appeared to be anything but simple; he carried many secrets with him. Lydia would not have been so nervous otherwise. Lydia seemed to be completely unaware of the certificate.After the meeting, Cecilia approached Henry and smiled, saying, "Congratulations, Henry. You're now a team leader.""Why the congratulations? I will have to do more work now." Henry exhaled and shook his head.Cecilia was about to respond, but then she remembered Dustin's admiration for Henry and the mystery surrounding his identity. Being a team leader might not be a good fit for him after all. She became less excited about Henry's promotion in an ins
