Chapter 31

In the Bloomberg Group, Veronica only went to work when she wanted to. Nonetheless, she still drew a high salary and received lucrative bonuses. Not only that, she held significant power in the company.Most regular employees thought that she only got these benefits because she was the daughter of the chairman. However, Vlad wasn't a moron. How could he feel at ease if he entrusted his good-for-nothing, self-indulgent daughter to ruin the business?Veronica was very capable, just that her strengths were not for the office. She may look debauched on the surface, but in reality, she was very resourceful. She was adept at making valuable connections and gathering important information. Not only that, but she was also decisive and competent.Just like when the Bloomberg Group had been reported for using counterfeit teaching materials, she had put out the tiny spark before it managed to turn into a raging inferno.However, regular employees wouldn't know that this was all thanks to

Hearing Amanda say those words, Vlad's anger subsided slightly. With a smile, he said, "In that case, I should be at greater fault because I'm older."Amanda laughed. "I didn't say that."Vlad let out an easy chuckle.Just like that, the situation blew over.For helping mediate the situation, Corbyn offered to treat Amanda to a meal in lieu of thanks. Amanda agreed, so the two of them went to a restaurant. They ended up heading to The Pond, the place Corbyn and Dean had gone to last time.Corbyn had mixed feelings for Amanda. Amanda was his cousin, so they shared a close blood relation, and they'd known each other since they were children. However, they just never got close. Even so, when it came to people like Amanda, even if he wasn't close to her, it was also very hard to hate her. Amanda was always very courteous, kind, and smart. She was the kind of kid that other parents would compare their own children to, except Veronica was never the type of parent to compare her son

"My boyfriend is in Merunica," Corbyn said."Oh, that's really far," Amanda said. "Do you like him a lot?"Corbyn's chest tightened. "Yes." After a moment of silence, Amanda said, "The company is preparing to launch a project in Merunica. Do you want to try taking that up?"Corbyn's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened. "What project?""I'll send you the details later," Amanda replied. "Have a look."Amanda spoke in a slow and gentle cadence, but she was very swift and decisive in her actions. After she got back, she immediately sent the information over to Corbyn.Corbyn learned that the Bloomberg Group was trying to gain the rights to become an exam center for the Abraham Examinations. This negotiations was already nearly complete, and they were basically already in the final stages of the application. Now, the Bloomberg Group just needed to send a representative to Merunica to finalize some details and sign the contract with the Abraham Exam Board for the deal to be

News that Corbyn was planning to go to Merunica quickly reached Paxton and Pearl. Paxton asked him, "Are you going to Merunica to redeem your mistake or are you going for Dean?"Corbyn shrugged helplessly. He couldn't answer either.To him, Dean was like a drug he was addicted to. A while back, when he broke the clay mug, he had been quite disheartened. He couldn't help but feel like it was a bad omen. He wanted to stop himself from overthinking it, so he didn't contact Dean for a long time.And when he stopped reaching out to Dean, Dean didn't contact him either.The two of them gave each other the cold shoulder over the Sappic Ocean—oh, wait, that wasn't true. Corbyn shook his head wryly. Dean most likely hadn't noticed that something was off.The cold shoulder wasn't mutual at all.Between him and Dean, he was the only one doing it.Even during the honeymoon phase, it was like he had been the only one infatuated.Like a glass of water, it was always Corbyn who was hot and co

Corbyn had laughed and asked, "Do you really think that someone would scheme against me?""I don't know," Pearl had replied. "All I know is that 'if you fail to plan, then you plan to fail'."Despite her youthful appearance, she always spoke in a very mature manner, spouting proverbs all the time.And it would be proven that Pearl would be correct. Her prediction had come true.Corbyn and Pearl brought the drafted agreement to the Abraham Exam Board but were bluntly refused from entering at the door. Surprised, Corbyn tried to find out what was wrong, but the other party remained aloof and didn't answer.Pearl immediately gave Paxton a call. Paxton was a human resources expert, so he was very well-informed. However, due to the time difference, they had to wait for nearly half a day before Paxton found the root cause. "The Autumnverst Education Group told the Abraham Exam Board about the counterfeit textbooks incident. The Abraham Exam Board are very unhappy with us and said they

Amanda chuckled softly and said, "Sure. In that case, I'll have to make a trip to Merunica. Since you've been working so hard lately, you should get some rest for the time being and spend time with your boyfriend."When Corbyn heard that, he had a bad feeling. "It would be very troublesome for you to fly back and forth. Since I was the one who caused this trouble, I should put in the effort. Only when we're at our last resort should I make you come all the way here.""Alright, but there's no time to lose. I'll give you a week, and I hope to hear good news afterward," Amanda said.Pearl had listened to the entire call. After it ended, she couldn't stop herself from asking, "Why didn't you let Mandy come?""I suddenly felt like she'd agreed too readily, as if she'd been waiting for me to beg her." Corbyn pondered it. "She was the one who gave me this project, and I ran into an issue, having caused the problem in the first place. If I then asked her for help, and she immediately fle

Compared to Amanda, Corbyn was indeed considered a novice. He also didn't have much control over the company. However, he had his strengths too. Besides being Vlad's favorite grandchild, he had two other trump cards as well—the Bloomberg Group's young all-knowing genius, Paxton, as well as the Bloomberg Group's veteran all-knowing genius, Veronica. The two of them weren't particularly good at operational tasks, but they were social butterflies who could find out all sorts of information. What was even harder to come by was that even though they both loved to tell Corbyn off, they were also undeniably loyal to Corbyn.Corbyn asked the two of them to find out who Amanda was the closest to among the Abraham Exam Board.Right after he sent the question, Veronica replied nearly instantly, "You don't need to go and ask Paxton. I already found out for you this morning."Veronica was speaking nearly too calmly. A hypothesis formed in Corbyn's mind. "Don't tell me you already knew that

"You're so naive," Veronica said with a small laugh. "Once you've spent enough time in the business world, you'll learn that it's not a crime if you're not caught.""Fine, then just consider it my ambition!" Corbyn said with a smile. "What's the point of quietly bribing a mere Head of Office? If I really wanted to cough up a huge sum, I would only be satisfied if I'm bribing to the President of the Abraham Exam Board.""Hah, you're just talking big," Veronica said mockingly.Despite that, she didn't force her own thoughts on Corbyn. She seemed eager to see how Corbyn would try solving this matter without spending an exorbitant amount of money within a week.Corbyn spotted a familiar face on banking systems in a café.He should make it clear that when he went to Merunica to study, it hadn't just been because of Dean. He had also made quite a number of friends. Even though Kelvin had looked down on Corbyn's school, it was still a well-reputed school by universal standards and far

Corbyn averted his gaze so that he wouldn't get lost in Dean's eyes.Liesel noticed that small detail. Corbyn had come without telling Dean and couldn't seem to look him in the eye. It seemed like they were having problems.Corbyn had also noticed the interest in Liesel's gaze. Even if he really had problems with Dean, he wasn't willing to let an outsider make fun of him at his expense. Smiling, he brushed past Liesel and grabbed Dean's arm. "Are you surprised?"Dean was still dazed. "Yes."Even after being pushed to the side, Liesel still kept an awkward but polite smile on her face.Corbyn then introduced Dean. "This is my boyfriend, Dean. Dean, this is my former classmate, Xavier Poole."Dean also introduced Thomas and Liesel to him, and the few of them exchanged name cards.When Xavier received Dean's name card, he was astounded. "Y-You're a business partner at M-Global?""Yes." Dean nodded slightly. "You became a partner so young. That's amazing!" Xavier turned to Corbyn

Rebecca was also shocked to find Corbyn and Pearl standing outside her condo. "What are you doing here?" she said in a heavy New Jorkian accent.Pearl stepped forward and introduced herself in perfect Yinglish. However, this was pointless because Rebecca recognized them. She said with a disgusted look, "You thieves, don't show up on my doorstep. I'll call the police.""Thieves?" Corbyn arched an eyebrow unhappily. "What exactly did we steal?"Rebecca chuckled coldly. "Your company uses counterfeit teaching materials. Isn't that stealing? How despicable.""Do you have proof that we use counterfeit teaching materials?" Corbyn said. "This never happened. You may be throwing around groundless accusations based on fake news that you heard."In reality, they hadn't gotten caught for purchasing counterfeit teaching materials. Neither the Autumnverst Education Group nor the Abraham Exam Board had concrete evidence to prove it. However, Rebecca didn't need concrete evidence. She just nee
