Back when Jim was in charge, he took the interview process very seriously. In fact, most of the people at Lloyd Enterprise were actually quite competent.But no matter how capable someone was or how much work they did, it was no match for those who whispered sweet nothings into Yvette's ear or ran a couple of errands for her.A promotion or raise? That just took a few words.Rachel's words instantly fired up the capable employees, like they had just received an energy shot. Some even stepped forward to pledge their commitment."Ms. Rachel, don't worry. We're here to do our jobs and earn promotions and raises, not to kiss anyone's ass.""Exactly. If there's work to be done, just give it to us. As long as we don't have to blow smoke, we're good.""Yes, that's right!"Hearing that only made Rachel more determined. She was going to lead this group of capable employees to greater heights."There's one more thing. It's about Ms. Yvette. We just found out that there was a failed proje
Rachel and Cecilia walked into the office. Rachel's voice was cold and indifferent, carrying a commanding presence that filled the room."I'm sure everyone has seen the company announcement. Sharon didn't resign for no reason. She deliberately tried to sabotage our relationship with our partner company. She knew full well that we were seeking collaboration with LS Enterprise, yet she still went behind our backs and tried to drive a wedge between us and Mr. Hunt."If she had succeeded, and Mr. Hunt pulled out due to misunderstandings about my character, who would bear the consequences of that loss?"Rachel's words left everyone in the office speechless.Among the crowd, Yvette glanced down at her freshly manicured nails and said softly, "Could it be that you targeted Sharon just because she was one of my people? No matter what, Sharon was a long-time employee. Firing her like this—won't it chill the hearts of everyone else here?"The office, which had just quieted down, instantly e
After Sharon finished speaking, she cautiously watched Tyler's reaction. Everyone in the industry said he had a strange temper. He might be perfectly fine with someone one second, and the next, he'd flip without warning.No one could ever guess what he was really thinking.Tyler's expression remained cold. His unreadable eyes locked onto Sharon."Are you done?"Sharon froze before numbly nodding. "Yes, I'm done.""Then go upstairs and prepare your resignation letter. I'll speak to Mr. Summers about it later."With a blank expression, Tyler turned to leave.Sharon froze in disbelief, panic flashing in her eyes. She only snapped out of it when she heard the sound of his leather shoes clacking away."Mr. Hunt, why? I was just thinking about your best interests! I didn't want to see you get fooled by some manipulative woman!"Tyler rubbed his brows, his patience clearly wearing thin. His jaws were clenched when he spoke, and his voice made Sharon's scalp tingle."It's simple. I w
Rachel said to Sharon, "See Mr. Hunt out.""Alright."Hearing that she was the one to escort Tyler out, Sharon quickly put down the coffee and hurried after him.Inside the conference room, Cecilia walked up to Rachel and said, "Rachel, aren't we being a bit too hasty? Shouldn't we take it slow?""There's no time to take it slow. If we wait until others catch on, there'll be nothing left for us."Cecilia had never seen Rachel so ambitious. Based on what she knew of the latter, it didn't seem like Rachel was the kind of person to be so rash. She tugged gently on Rachel's sleeve."Rachel, what are you really thinking? I feel like I don't really know you anymore."Rachel turned to the side. Her eyes shone with determination. Rather than feeling discouraged by Tyler's rejection, she looked even more spirited than before.Cecilia felt as if she were seeing a golden light radiating from within Rachel, making her seem almost haloed in brilliance.Rachel looked at Cecilia and asked, "
Seeing how confident Rachel was, Tyler nodded."Alright. How much are you putting into this project?""Five hundred million."That was all the combined funds of Lloyd Enterprise and herself.Tyler let out a hoarse chuckle that echoed through the spacious meeting room. Even people outside heard it.He lowered his head, slowly pulled out a cigarette, and placed it between his lips. His eyes narrowed slightly."Ms. Rachel, are you expecting me to play the fool and invest in this?"Everyone knew a new project like this wouldn't just cost five hundred million. It would take at least two billion to get off the ground. Rachel was basically gambling with the future of both companies.If anything went wrong at any point, both LS Enterprise and the Lloyd Enterprise would go bankrupt.But Rachel remained confident."Mr. Hunt, I've been researching this project for years. Right now, the country's development still mostly relies on people, and to some extent, machines. But why can't we pu
Rachel and Cecilia returned to their seats. Rachel cleared her throat, sat upright, and assumed a serious, businesslike demeanor as she spoke to Tyler."Mr. Hunt, you mentioned you came to discuss a potential partnership. May I ask which project you're interested in?"Tyler raised his brows slightly, a faint smirk playing at the corners of his lips. His slender fingers tapped gently against the table."Oh? You actually thought I came here to talk business?"Rachel tilted her head. "If not to talk business, Mr. Hunt, then what? Do you want to take a nap and have me tell you a ghost story on the spot?"Tyler leaned back in his chair like a man with all the time and money in the world. "Aren't you aware of your company's current situation? You're not even qualified to collaborate with us."Rachel glanced at Cecilia and gave her a subtle signal. Cecilia quickly pulled out a folder and handed it to Rachel, who then slid it across the table to Tyler."Mr. Hunt, perhaps you can take a
