Chapter 82 It’s Hard to Change One’s Nature
Rebecca Ford, Samuel Ford, Patricia Ford, Marla Ford, and others were promoted too.
Sitting alone in a more than 100 square meters office, Leo looked indifferent, and his fingers gently tapped on the desk, making a rhythmic sound.
“This is the last chance for you. If you still don’t cherish it, don’t blame me…” He muttered to himself.
Justin returned to Leo’s office to report.
“Forrest Barker will attend the banquet as the owner of the International Commerce Center. But Lydia Henderson of Atlas Beauty refused. She tore the invitation letter and threw it into the trash can…”
Leo was not surprised, because he knew Peter Lawson wanted to plot against Lydia, she must not treat Peter kindly.
However, Leo cared more about the injury on Peter Lawson’s face.
Although Nadine did not kill Jeffrey and Peter that night because of Lydia’s obstruction, Peter’s face was hurt seriously.
Peter’s face may not be able to be cured.”
Appearance was not only important to women, but also to men. Peter’s face was hurt by Leo seriously, but he still did not cancel the party. It seemed that Peter did attach great importance to those urban renewal projects.
“When will those companies arranged by Forrest arrive?” Leo asked.
Justin said, “They will arrive before the start of the sponsorship dinner.”
Leo did not ask more. He was not worried those companies would not come. It was the leader of the Red Eagle Chamber of Commerce who asked someone to call them to come. If they did not come, or if they were late, they could not bear the consequences.
“Let’s wait for the dinner tonight.”
In the afternoon, Leo sent a text message to Lydia: I’m going to the Henderson family, and attend the sponsorship dinner with them.
Lydia soon replied simplify, “OK.”
Leo took a car to the Henderson family. When he entered the yard, he found that others were chatting happily.
When Leo was about to walk into the living room, he heard a shout.
“Stop!”
Rebecca pointed at Leo’s feet and said, “You are no longer a member of the Henderson family. You can’t enter in, and waited in the yard. No, you should wait outside the gate.”
“Rebecca, what are you talking about?”
William frowned and said, “If you don’t forced Leo, does he leave?”
“I don’t think I’m wrong.”
Rebecca said, “He is a good-for-nothing and doesn’t even have a job. If he leaves, it’s beneficial to us.”
“Mom, he has a job now,” Caroline said.
It seemed that Caroline was kind to him, but in fact, she was mocking him.
Leo looked at them indifferently without saying a word.
“I know.”
Today, Rebecca looked very confident. She said, “You can come back, but you have to hand over your monthly salary.”
Leo was amused by her words, “My monthly salary? You don’t deserve it.”
How much was his monthly salary?
Tens of millions?
He didn’t know either.
But they misunderstood him.
“Leo, what do you mean? Do you think we are greedy for your money?”
Caroline said angrily, “Now, I am the HR manager of Vesper Corporation. My mother is the finance manager, and my uncle is…”
After Caroline introduced everyone’s positions one by one, she asked, “What about you? What do you do in the International Commerce Center? Maybe your monthly salary is less than one thousand dollar. It’s a bargain for you to hand over your monthly salary.”
Hearing this, Leo understood why they are so arrogant.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
If his father did not beg him, Leo would not ask Justin to promote them to the management level.
“A dog can never change its habit.”
Leo said coldly and turned to walk toward the gate.
Caroline and Rebecca felt angry and stood up immediately. ”
“Who are you scolding?”
“Stop!”
William couldn’t bear it any longer and roared, “You are so stupid.”
After being promoted to the finance manager, Rebecca also became arrogant. She retorted “William, you are stupid!”
She pointed at Leo and said, “He is a good-for-nothing, but you still think highly of him. You should worry about your sponsorship first. The sponsorship dinner is about to begin, and I see how you deal with it!”
“Leo already settles it.”
“Can he get the sponsorship?”
They laughed and said, “Ten dollars? Or one hundred dollars? It’s useless.”
William felt angry and said nothing.
“Dad, don’t blame me for not reminding you. If you hope that he can help you solve the problem, you will be disappointed!”
Caroline looked at William and said, “I think that you can come to Vesper Corporation, and President Lawson will definitely give you a suitable position.”
“Hum!”
William snorted heavily.
“Caroline, ignore him.”
Rebecca grabbed Caroline and said, “It will be funny that no sponsors come later.”
Samuel Ford, Marla Ford, and others also laughed and waited to see the Henderson family’s fool.
They were now the middle-level leaders in Vesper Corporation. Although the cooperation between the Henderson family and Atlas Beauty broke down, it would not impact their interests.
“It’s time to go.”
Rebecca with Caroline got in a business Mercedes. Samuel, Marla, and others also got in their own cars.
When cars passed by the gate, Rebecca saw Leo standing there, but she didn’t stop and drove away.
William sighed and said, “Leo, get in.”
“Thank you, Dad.”
Leo comforted William, “Don’t worry, everything is ready.”
Looking at the confident smile on Leo’s face, William was confused.
Every time he smiled confidently, he would solve the difficulties perfectly.
Will there be a miracle today?
The sky gradually darkened.
The sponsorship dinner was held in the Emerald. Although it was not as luxurious as Oceania, it was a five-star hotel with high-quality service and dishes.
It was early, and the dinner party had not yet begun, but some dishes were served.
The scene setting was similar to that of the upper class in foreign countries. Musicians in white dress were playing soft music on both sides.
“This snail is so delicious. Quickly, take more.”
“How much does such a dinner party spend one night? When can the Henderson family hold such a party?”
Rebecca, Caroline, and the others kept choosing the most expensive dishes to eat, no matter it was delicious or not. When they looked at the layout of the banquet, the world-famous paintings, pianos worth millions of dollars, and antiques in the display cabinet, they felt very shocked.
William did not have any interest about these. He was thinking about the sponsorship.
Leo handed him a cup of good wine and said, “The wine is good. Have a try.”
William waved his hand and said, “If the sponsors don’t come, I won’t have any appetite.”
Hearing this, Leo said, “They will come soon.”
At this time, a woman in professional clothes with a pair of high heels walked over.
Seeing this woman, Caroline and Rebecca were angry. It was she who humiliated them again and again.
Rachel nodded at Leo, and then shook hands with William with a professional smile, “Mr. Ford, the dinner party is about to begin in half an hour. Do your sponsors arrive at the hotel?”
“This…”
William felt embarrassed, but Leo walked forward and said, “The sponsors will arrive within ten minutes.”
Thinking for a while, Leo continued to say, “The amount of sponsorship is about …100 million dollars.”
Hearing that, Caroline and Rebecca laughed out loud.
“Leo, you have no money and power, but you are good at bragging.”
“100 million dollars? If you can get 500 thousand dollars, I will admit my failure.”
Leo glanced at them and ignored them.
Rachel nodded and left. Before leaving, she looked at Caroline and Rebecca ironically.
“Leo, is what you say true?”
As soon as Rachel left, William asked.
Leo smiled without saying a word.
“Don’t make a fool of yourself.”
Holding a glass of red wine, Caroline looked at Leo and said, “You solve the trouble by yourself. Don’t ask us to help you.”
“Don’t worry.”
Leo took a sip of red wine and said calmly, “If I make a lot of money by cooperating with Atlas Beauty, don’t ask me for money.”
“I ask you for money?!”
Caroline seemed to hear the funniest joke. She smiled and said, “You have half an hour to brag. When President Henderson of Atlas Beauty arrives, you had better to solve the trouble by yourself!”
Leo just smiled and did not argue with her.
Twenty minutes later, When Lydia came in with Rachel, Irene, and other lineal relatives, Caroline, Rebecca, and Samuel looked at the Leo.
William felt very nervous. He looked at his watch, and there were only ten minutes left. He asked, “Leo, will the sponsors really come?”
“Of course.” Leo said confidently.
Rachel gave a public speech. All the guests sat down.
“Thank you William Ford to find sponsors for Atlas Beauty. Now, let’s welcome them.”
There was thunderous applause, and all lights gathered in the direction of the Henderson family.
While Caroline and Rebecca clapped, they whispered, “Until now, we can’t see any sponsors. How could he…?”
Before Caroline finished her words, the door was opened.
A gentle middle-aged man wearing glasses came in, surrounded by men and women in suits and leather shoes
“Skyer O’Brien, the CEO of Sky Technology, and all the senior executives!”
When they came in, Samuel felt very shocked.
