For the first time in his life, he felt a deep sense of defeat and regret, Not only his, but even Philipâs expression was solemn and displeased.
Quentin had never expected Haylan to be so eloquent. With just a few words, he had completely defeated them.
He did not dare to speak up for Quentin openly. He only glared at Hayları.
Reign was overjoyed to see Philipâs men got defeated. However, she remained calm on the surface and said, âAlright, Mr. Jaber. Mr. Hackbart was joking with you to liven up the atmosphere of the meeting. You donât have to take it so seriously.â Hearing Reignâs words, Quentin was overjoyed.
He knew that Reign was giving him a way out. He hurriedly said, âYes, yes, yes. Thatâs what I meant. Mr. Jaber, please donât musunderstand.â
Haylan glanced at Reign expressionlessly and said calmly. âI was also joking with you too. Why are you so serious?â âThatâs right, thatâs right. We are just joking. Everyone, please excuse usâ Quentin also looked at the others with a smile. The others looked at each other. However, those who could sit here were all experienced people who had been through the harsh realities of society. All of them were sharp enough to see the truth of this matter.
Seeing that Reign did not pursue the matter, some people immediately laughed and applauded.
Some people also voiced their agreement to resolve this conflict.
Quentin finally heaved a sigh of relief and sat down. His back was already drenched in sweat.
If Reign had held him accountable just now, even if Philip had protected him, his reputation in the company would have plummeted.
Damn it!
It was all Haylanâs fault!
Quentin clenched his fists fiercely and wished he could tear Haylan into pieces.
In his opinion, his humiliation was Haylanâs fault. If Haylan had obediently been bullied by them, everything would have been finel Haylan sat behind Quentin. He could clearly see that Quentinâs back was drenched in sweat. He said calmly. âMr. Hackbart, youâll make mistakes if you speak too much. Be careful with your words next time.â
âShut up!â Quentin turned around and glared at Haylan.
Just as he was about to speak, Reign said. âThereâs not much to discuss in todayâs meeting. I mainly want to see what development plans everyone has for the second half of the year.
âEveryone, sprak your mind Tell me your thoughts.â
Following her words, many people present began to speak freely.

In the end, Reign finalized the companyâs development in the next few years, which was focused on the pharmaceutical industry.
After confirming this direction, Yvonne was pushed to the front of the stage and became the director in charge of the research and development of new medicinal herbs.
Then, Reign smiled and looked at Haylan. âNext, Iâll introduce you to a new colleague. This is Haylan, the deputy department head of the security department I specially promoted.â
âIn the future, everyone should get closer to Mr. Jaber and cooperate with him more.â
As she spoke, she glanced at Haylan and gave him a look.
Haylan had no choice but to stand up and greet everyone with a smile.
âHello, Mr. Jaber.â
âI can tell that Mr. Jaber is an outstanding man. Heâs extraordinary.â
âMr. Jaber is so handsome. One look and I can tell that youâre a martial arts expert. Weâll definitely cooperate happily with you in the future.â

There were even many female directors and deputy directors whose eyes were shining as they looked at Haylanı.
Haylan was very handsome. He had a strong physique and a strong appearance. He exuded a masculine tra that was very attractive After introducing himself a few times, Haylan sat down under everyoneâs applause However, his actions after entering the conference room had already attracted a lot of attention and left a deep impression âAlright, todayâs meeting is over Mr. Jaber, come to my office later. Dismiss Reign stood up, glanced at Haylan, and turned to leave.
After Reign and her secretary left, Philip also glared at Haylan and said in a deep voice, âQuentin, come to my officeâ
With that, he left Without another word, Quentin immediately followed Philip and left the conference room.
After they left, the scene immediately became extremely lively.
âMr. Jaber, nice to meet you. Iâm Anthony from the sales department. I want to invite you to a meal this afternoon. Would you honor me with your presence?â
âMr. Jaber, Iâm lan from the public relations department.â
âCome, come, come. Mr. Jaber, take a cigarette.â
Many directors walked over and surrounded Haylan. They were enthusiastic and fawned over him.
Someone wanted to treat them to a meal, and someone took out a cigarette and respectfully handed it to Haylan.
They could all see that Reign was clearly favoring Haylan by appointing him as the deputy department head now. Reign might even assign important business tasks to Haylan later on.
Therefore, they had to curry favor with Haylan as soon as possible and establish a friendship with him.
Otherwise, when Haylan became successful, they would not be able to ingratiate themselves with him anymore.
âSure, sure. We need to have a gathering if thereâs a chance in the future.â
Haylan accepted everything that came his way, even if it was just a pack of cigarettes. He mingled effortlessly and waited until he had made enough connections before saying, âI appreciate all your kindness, but I need to go see Ms. Labenz now.â
Upon hearing Haylanâs words, many people present did not dare to stop Haylan anymore.
Haylan left the crowd and went to Reignâs office. He closed the door behind him and sat down in front of Reign. He stared at Reign, who was working hard.
âWhy are you looking at me like that?â Reign raised her head and smiled like a flower.
âWhy did you suddenly mention me as the deputy department head during the meeting? Haylan asked.
âYou saved my life before, and now youâre working under me. I have to think of a way to repay you.â
Reign said with a smile.
Haylan exposed her. âAlright, stop pretending. You brought me up because you want to use me as a tool to deal with Philip and Quentin.
âThereâs nothing wrong with what youâre doing. The only problem is that you did it without asking for my opinion, which is despicable and shameless!â
âWhat did you say?â This was the first time Reign had heard someone criticize her like that. She looked a little surprised.
I said youâre despicable and shameless!â Haylan said.
Reign frowned slightly and said sincerely. âIm sorry. I made a mistake. I apologize to you. If you donât like it, Iâll immediately hold a meeting and reassign your position.â
Reign adinired Haylanâs ability and felt that Haylan could help her break the deadlock. It would allow her to stand firmer in the Labenz family and stabilize her status. That was why she made the decision without discussing it with Haylan.
Now that she saw Haylan seemed to be very unhappy. She did not dare to offend him, so she could only apologize carefully.
âWho says I donât agree?â
Haylan smiled and said, âLetâs make a deal. From now on, Iâll help you get rid of your dissidents, consolidate your status, and accomplish things you are powerless to do. However, you have to promise me one thingâ
âGo ahead.â Reign was overjoyed.
As long as Haylan was willing to cooperate with her and eliminate dissidents, she could agree to Haylanâs one hundred conditions, let alone one.
âI donât want money, but I want you to promise me that you will help me take care of my parents and family in the future!â Haylan said seriously.
Reign was stunned. âWhat do you mean? Are you proposing to me and asking me to marry you?â
