The scene fell into a dead silence.
In the security department, all the security guards widened their eyes and looked at Larry and Haylan in shock. They were all dumbfounded.
He had always been arrogant, domineering, and condescending. He would not even look at mere security guards like them. Now, this rich guy was actually holding Haylanâs hand. He was enthusiastic, friendly, and excited, as if he had been friends with Haylan for many years.
This was unbelievable!
âAm I seeing things?â
âIs this really Larry? Why is he so friendly to Haylan?â
Everyone looked at each other, unable to believe their eyes.
The insufferably arrogant Larry had come to invite Haylan to dinner. It was unbelievable like the sun rising from the west. Moreover, Larry seemed to treat Haylani like he was his brother.
âTreat me to a meal?â Haylan was stunned.
âThatâs right, Haylan. No matter what, you have to do me a favor this time.â
Larry refused to let go of Haylanâs hand. He was full of enthusiasm and wished he could bring Haylan to the restaurant for a meal immediately.
Larry had been pursuing Reign for a long, long time. He had used all his tricks. Unfortunately, all of his efforts were met with disdain by Reign Previously, Haylan had told him some ways to pursue Reign. He followed Haylanâs instructions.
Sure enough, Reignâs attitude toward him did improve during this period Yesterday, Larry invited Reign out for a meal, but Reign actually agreed!
This was the first time Reign had agreed to his request to have a meal together.
Larry was so excited that he couldnât sleep at all after tossing and turning last night.
After waking up, Larry immediately came to seek advice from Haylan At this moment. Haylan was like a counselor in hus eyes to help him pursue Reign.
Iâm at work, so I canât leave. Letâs talk after work, Haylan said calmly.
âWhatâs the point of working? My work is much more urgent than yours. Iâll help you apply for leave from Ms. Labenz. This time, the two of us must have a good drinkâ Larry became a little impatient.
âMr. Muller, whatâs so urgent?â Haylan asked curiously.
Larry glanced around and whispered to Haylan, âMs. Labenz promised me to have dinner tonight with her. I want to ask you what flowers I should give her and what kind of clothes I should wear.â
Haylan still wanted to say something, but at this moment, his phone rang. Reignâs secretaryâs voice came through. âIn fifteen minutes, all the leaders will be meeting on the tenth floor. No one can be absent.â
With that, she hung up.
Haylan held his phone and looked at Larry. âMr. Muller, Iâm sorry. I have a meeting to attend. Weâll talk about our dinner after work.â
Larry frowned and wanted to say something.
âMr. Muller, Ms. Labenz doesnât like what youâre doing. Besides. Iâm Ms. Labenzâs employee. What do you think sheâll think if I skip work to have a meal with you?â Haylan asked.
Larryâs expression changed. Then, he inmediately put on a smile. âAlright, alright, alright. Haylan, whatever you say. Iâll wait for you outside. Letâs have lunch. See you,â
âAlright, you can leave first. Donât disturb my work.â Haylan waved his hand.
âOkay, Iâll pick you up after you get off work.â
Larry did not put on any airs. He smiled and really left. He obediently smoked outside the security room and quietly waited for Haylan to get off work.
The security guards were stunned.
What the fuckâ
Larry was unexpectedly friendly to Haylan!
What happened between them?
âDonât just stand there. Itâs time to patrol. Hurry up and go out to work.â Haylan glanced at the others.
Only then did William and the other security guards react and quickly leave.
David stood in the distance and gritted his teeth. He had an angry scowl on his face. âDamn it, what did this Haylan do to Larry? Why is Larry so good to him?â
David had ininally wanted to watch Larry wreak havoc in the security department and beat up Haylan. But now, he saw that the arrogant Larry was so respectful and obedient in front of Haylan.
This made David even more unhappy and filled him with hatred for Haylan.
He glared at Haylan before turning to leave.
Wane initially wanted to go out and patrol, but in the end, he mustered his courage and asked, âHaylan, what, what did you do to Mr. Muller?â
âItâs nothing. I just gave some pieces of advice to him,â said Haylan.
Wane was skeptical, but he didnât dare to ask further. He immediately jogged behind David and went to patrol the company.
As Haylan looked at Davidâs back, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. He thought to himself, âLooks like I still have to have a good talk with this Davidâ
He could tell that David still held a grudge against him and would definitely trip him up behind his back.
It was easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to defend against a concealed one Although Haylan was not afraid of David stirring up trouble, it would be quite troublesome for him to deal with it.
Instead of waiting for David to attack him, it was better to take the initiative to talk to David and teach him a lesson. Haylanâs expression was calm. He took the deputy department headâs work pass from the table and put it on his neck. Then, he closed the door and went to the area he used to be in charge of After patrolling for a while, he went straight to the meeting room on the tenth floor.
At this moment, the meeting room on the tenth floor was filled with Mapleturz Groupâs superiors.
As the CEO, Reign sat in the middle, and Philip, the vice president, sat next to her.
Other than that, there were also many big shots in the administrative department, the general manager of the sales department, the person in charge of the research and development department, Yvonne, and so on.
There were more than a hundred people sitting in two circles.
The first circle was filled with the leaders of the departments, with a strict hierarchy and clear levels of status.
After Haylan came in, he sat in the empty seat in the last row.
The logistics department was the most unpopular department in Mapleturz Group. Their status in the group was very low.
Although Haylan was a deputy department head and sounded impressive, he was actually a small character in the entire leadership level of Mapleturz Group.
His location was also the most inconspicuous place in the conference room.
Quentin sat in front of Haylan. He turned around and glanced at Haylan coldly, his eyes filled with disdain.
As soon as Haylan sat down, the vice president, Philip, stared at him with an angry gaze and said coldly, âWe are all sitting here waiting for a small fry like you, Haylan. You are utterly disrespectful!
How arrogant!â
As soon as he spoke, everyoneâs eyes immediately fell on Haylan.
âHaylan? Who is he? Why havenât I heard of this name?â
âI donât know. Heâs wearing a security uniform. I think heâs from the security department.â
âHaylan, Ms. Labenz appointed him as the deputy department head of the security department. He just took office yesterday. Donât you know?â
âDirectors like us have already arrived early, but heâs the last to arrive. This person is too disrespectful.â
âThatâs right. Heâs just a small fry. How dare he come so late? No wonder Mr. Labenz is angry.â
âMr. Labenz is famous for being strict, and yet this Haylan is so careless in his new position. He had already annoyed Mr.
Labenz, and I doubt he will keep his position as deputy department head for long.â
Many people looked at each other and discussed.
Many people looked at Haylan with gloating eyes. They felt that Haylan was in trouble.
Quentin sneered and prepared to watch Haylan getting humiliated.
Philip was his uncle. Before the meeting, he had already communicated with Philip. Philip wanted to humiliate Haylan and completely undermine him during this meeting. He completely belittled Haylan, stripped him of his dignity, and made him feel utterly ashamed so that he would never be able to show his face again.
When Reign heard Philipâs words, her face darkened.
Haylan was the deputy department head she had appointed, but Philip berated Haylan in public. It seemed like Philip was belittling Haylan, but he was meant to embarrass Reign.
Just as Reign was about to speak, Haylan looked at Philip and asked, âWho are you?â
âHow dare you!â
Quentin stood up from his seat and scolded Haylan angrily, âHe is Mr. Labenz, the vice president of Mapleturz Group. Haylan, how can you treat your superior rudely?
âApologize to Mr. Labenz immediately!â.
âApologize? Why should I apologize?â Haylan said calmly.
âMr. Labenz and a group of superiors went to the meeting room first, but you were the last to arrive.
Itâs obvious that you donât respect your superiors and donât follow the rules. Furthermore, you donât even know your superiors, which shows. disrespect towards them. You have to apologize!â Quentin said furiously.
