Leon had a resentful expression that looked more like a woman's than a man's."You deserve that for telling me all that stuff..." Ariel chuckled, amused by Leon's resentful expression.Her pretty face unwittingly became warm when she recalled Leon's teasing."I'll just consider myself unlucky then. Happy now?" Leon's expression remained sullen and he walked straight into the company without looking back.Ariel realized that she was in the wrong for what happened earlier, so she ran up to Leon and pulled his arm, saying, "Okay, okay. I know that I made a mistake. I apologize, okay? Please don't be angry with me anymore…""You're… apologizing to me? Are you being serious?" Leon was so surprised that he raised his head and looked suspiciously at Ariel. Not once did it ever cross his mind that someone as arrogant as Ariel would take the initiative to apologize to him. It was almost as impossible as seeing the sun rising from the west.Ariel blushed, "I'm serious. And thanks for helpi
"I haven't let you down, Miss Young. After some hard work and persistence, the Westpraise Group finally made a concession. They agreed to our profit reduction of five percent, and their general manager has already signed the contract. It will take effect immediately as long as you sign it!" Michael smiled proudly and presented the document in his hand to Iris.It was none other than a contract with the Westpraise Group."Amazing! I didn't expect Mister Duvall to negotiate this so quickly. He lives up to his reputation as a professional sales talent and the pillar of our company's future!""Indeed. Mister Duvall is very capable, so much so that the general manager of the Westpraise Group is willing to sign it in advance. This isn't something any random person could achieve!"...The company's executives poured praise on Michael and gave him their stamp of approval."You did well, Mister Duvall. Thank you for your hard work." Iris nodded in affirmation of Michael's ability."You f
As Iris pondered over whether or not to accept everyone's opinions, Leon and Ariel came back and walked into the conference room after pushing it open."Well, well! Mister Wolf's back. I wonder how the negotiations between you and the Wick Group went? Judging from your red face, you must be super ashamed after achieving nothing in the negotiation!" Michael laughed mockingly."That's a possibility..."Many high-level executives also laughed along with them.Before Leon could answer, several company executives who were closer to him quickly realized that something was wrong. "Hey, he smells of alcohol!"That statement was like a bombshell that nearly blew the minds of everyone in the conference room."What?""So his face is red because he was drinking? And not because he's ashamed?"Everyone exchanged stunned looks with each other until they finally came to understand what transpired"Is he serious? He went out for a drink under the guise of having a negotiation?""This is unpr
Since Leon volunteered to die this time, he did not mind giving Leon what Leon wanted!"That's right!""What happened is bad. We have to fire him!""Otherwise, how's the company supposed to operate in the future if our employees learn from his example?!" …The higher-ups were all furious, and they echoed what Leon said.Iris had a sour expression on her face. Leon was her savior after all. She did not want to fire Leon over such a small matter.However, it was hard to deal with everyone's anger. If she continued to protect Leon, how would she face the higher-ups of the company?!"Shut up!""Who told you Leon failed to get the partnership with the Wick Group?""You're just assuming things for yourselves!" Ariel shouted angrily in Leon's defense."What?""Have you guys already secured a partnership with the Wick Group?" Everyone was shocked. All of them looked at each other in doubt and confusion.The noisy meeting room suddenly fell into a strange silence."That's right,
Iris could not believe her eyes."Absolutely!" Ariel nodded and said. She was very shocked when Elder Wick suggested those terms as well. She could understand how Iris felt at that moment!"Good, very good. This is amazing!"Ariel, you're terrific. You secured an agreement with the Wick Group!"Y-you created a miracle!"Iris, who was always incredibly calm, actually jumped up in excitement. She immediately enveloped Ariel in a big hug in front of everyone else.She knew that Leon lacked any business acumen, and was not a professional. There was no way she would think that Leon secured the deal!She thought that it was all Ariel's work!"What? Could the agreement be real?!" Michael was dumbfounded.All of the other executives were dumbfounded as well."That's impossible! Miss Young, could you be mistaken?!" Michael had an expression of disbelief. He hurriedly picked the contract up from the table and took a few looks. When he saw that it was personally signed by Elder Wick
They knew very well that there was no way Leon's signature would be the only one there if it was Ariel who secured the agreement.However, they still found it hard to believe. Leon was just a mere secretary without any business sense. Yet, he managed to secure the Wick Group's cooperation, and the Wick Group willingly gave them so many benefits as well!It was practically impossible!"There shouldn't be anyone doubting me and this contract anymore, right?" Leon said calmly, sweeping his gaze across everyone again. He was helpless and unable to defend himself with his words earlier and suffered an onslaught of ridicule.Yet, he managed to prove himself, tossing the agreement in everyone's faces. He felt incredibly elated!"Mister Wolf, you must be kidding. The agreement is undoubtedly real…"The higher-ups were all incredibly awkward. It was as if they were slapped in the face in public. Their faces burned, and no one dared to meet Leon's gaze."Leon, I can't believe you're so
It was obvious how he felt about that!"Mister Duvall, you've lost the bet! You shouldn't be a sore loser. Do you have anything else to say?!" Leon looked right at Michael."I…" Michael paled, and his expression sank greatly.With things as they were, even an idiot could tell that he did not just lose, but Leon wiped the floor with him!Based on the bet, the loser would have to leave the company. It was not something he could accept.After all, it was incredibly difficult for him to climb into the higher ranks of the company. In two years, he put in so much effort and suffered so much. There was no way he would willingly leave in such a pathetic manner!"Miss Young, Mister Wolf won the bet this time.""But the bet was just a show. It shouldn't be taken seriously. Surely we can't have Mister Duvall leave the company over a joke?""That's right. Mister Duvall has contributed quite a lot to the company over the years. He's put in a lot of effort. I think we should forget about the
"Miss Summers, help me conduct the meeting for the moment. Try to quickly establish a direction for this partnership."After that, Iris paused for a moment as she looked at Leon, "Mister Wolf, come with me to the office. I have something to ask you.""Oh, I understand," Leon answered feebly before he followed Iris into her office.…In the office, Iris motioned for Leon to sit on the sofa. When she saw how dispirited Leon seem to be, she could not help but purse her lips into a smile, "What? Are you angry at me?""I'm not…" Leon said he was not, but it was obvious to anyone that he was not too happy."I know you're angry because I sided with Michael, but I'm the president of the company. I have my considerations." Iris smiled slightly as she sat down next to Leon, "When you made the bet with Michael, I was asked to be the witness. Do you know why I didn't agree back then?""Why?" Leon found it strange as well, finally remembering that Iris had never acknowledged the bet."I w
