The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 83

Chapter 83 ‘Til give you a call soon, Mr. Zack.” Darius said. In the end, he could not just employ a complete stranger. He needed to do some research and make sure that Zack was a trustworthy person before he employed him.

“Certainly Mr. Reid.” Zack replied. He had a dejected expression on his face, but

still made sure to be polite to Darius. Although Darius didn’t accept him, he didn’t outrightly reje Ct him

either. He could only wait for his phone call. If he didn’t receive any phone call from Darius after a week, then he would ask for investments.

Zack bowed lightly again before exiting Darius’ office. When he left, Darius motioned to Erin. Erin naturally understood what her superior wanted, so she nodded in response. He

wanted her to research about Zack and see if he was trustworthy. If he was, then there was no ha rm in employing him. As soon as Erin left his office to fulfill that task, his phone rang once more. Darius checked the caller ID and saw that it was Bruce. He quickly answered the phone call and p laced the phone to his ear.

“Hello, Young master Reid.” Bruce started politely.

“Yes Bruce; is anything the problem?” Darius asked, going straight to the point. He was now incre dibly busy and didn’t have time for idle talk.

“Yes. There is a business gathering in Ashville city, and only the

top business giants are invited. Your grandfather was naturally invited, but he told me to pass th e invitation to you. As you are building your new company, you will definitely meet other busines smen like you and benefit from this gathering.” Bruce said.

Darius fell silent at that. It was true that

his company was still very new, and since he was starting his business in a metropolitan city with out the support of the Reid family, he was bound to struggle in the initial stages.

Yet that would not be the case if he attended the business gathering. After all, many wealthy and top businessmen would be present. It would be a great opportunity to connect with them, both personally and business wise.

“Alright. I’ll be sure to attend.” Darius answered.

Bruce heaved a sigh of relief at that. He thought that Darius would reject the invitation offer, but that wasn’t the case. He readily accepted it instead.

“The gathering is in one week from now. That’s all.” Bruce concluded.

Darius thanked him and disconnected the phone call before focusing on his work. There was still a lot of work for him to do.

It took only two days for Erin to complete her investigation of Zack Lyle. When Darius read her re port, he was incredibly stunned. II turned out that Zack Lyle was a brilliant business man!

As a matter of fact, he was already on his way to recognition in his city. It was a pity that the con glomerate group got caught in a nasty

conflict. If it weren’t for that, he would have risen to become a first rate businessman easily.

Darius was sure that even if he didn’t employ Zack, with his sharp business acumen and shrewdn ess, it would only be a matter of time before he got back on his feet. All he needed was an invest ment.

It was even more shocking when Darius discovered the amount of workers that were willing to k eep working for Zack. It was well over 500! It was certainly very impressive that in a company of over 1,000 workers, Zack had managed to retain over 500 of them that were extremely loyal to hi m.

Erin had taken the time to go through each and every one of the worker resume, and she discov ered that all the 500 workers had clean history and background, were very hard working, and we re also exceptional in their own fields.

Darius then strongly believed that his encounter with Zack was a blessing in disguise. If he could employ the service of all 500 workers and Zack, his company would have a much needed boost i n terms of manpower. After all, he didn’t lack the money to employ them. Darius quickly made a phone call to Zack and informed him of his decision to employ them. Zack was profoundly happ y at Darius’ decision. Even though it was late in the night, he took the public train and rushed ov er to the West Atlantics Int’l building.

He met up

with Darius and thanked him profusely for his decision. Darius was a bit embarrassed at how ear nest Zack was being at that moment. After a few minutes, Darius finally convinced Zack to stop t hanking him.

Zack had to return to inform his staff of the good

news because he had come from another city that was far away from where Darius had founded his new company. Although he wasn’t sure whether all five hundred workers would agree to mov e with him as they certainly had families that they had to cater for, he still had to inform them of the latest development.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Darius and Zack talked for a few more minutes before coming to a conclusion. Zack promised to return with the rest of his employees in a week’s time and thanked Darius one last time before e xiting the office.

Darius was definitely happy after Zack left. He was still a university student after all, so he couldn’t always be at the company. When the two month break given to them by the university was over, he would have to return to the university.

This would mean that his original responsibilities would fall back to Erin, and surely she couldn’t handle everything alone. Now that Zack was here, he didn’t need to worry about that anymore.

Darius and Erin then immersed themselves in work, caring little for anything else. As they were s everely understaffed, they naturally had to do more work than usual. Even the forty employees w ere disgruntled at the amount of work they had to do, as they had to work overtime, and even si eep over several times in order to get their tasks done.

However, no matter how disgruntled they felt, they dared not express it. The reason was because their salaries were twice as much as the nomal salaries for their jobs. Therefore, the only thing th ey could do was complain on the inside. Just like that time flew by, and it was now the day for th e business gathering in Ashville city.
