âMr. Blake, if thereâs no suitable candidate, I, John Waldorf, am willing to be in charge of the new project.
Iâm considered a professional and have worked in a real estate company for seven years.
Iâm also in charge of the construction section after I came to Blake Corporation.â âMr. Blake, I also want to participate in the new project.
I studied civil engineering at university.â âMr. Blake, I majored in garden design.
I think Iâm most suitable for this project.
The most important thing in a high-end villa area is the landscape.â âForget it.
The projectâs landscape will be designed by a professional designer.â âThen your major, civil construction wonât be useful either.
The work should be taken by a professional team!â Everyone argued endlessly, wanting to be in charge of the new project.
Jaredâs expression turned grave.
Preston said, âAs for the team in charge of this project, everyone can come to me to recommend yourselves after the meeting.
Alright, Iâll announce the second thing.â Seeing that Preston was about to announce the second matter, many peopleâs eyes lit up with anticipation.
Preston said in a deep voice, âIn the name of the president of Blake Corporation, I announce that Hagen Shann, the vice-general manager, is fired.â âWhat? Preston Blake, how dare you!â Hagen went to the hospital yesterday.
The tendons in his hand were not broken, but his wrist joint was fractured.
The doctor fixed his bone, applied medicine, and wrapped a bandage around his neck.
David had told him not to come to todayâs meeting.
He wanted to see Preston make a fool of himself, but he did not expect Preston to fire him.
Preston raised his eyelids slightly.
âWhat? As a major shareholder of Blake Corporation, I donât even have the right to fire my employees?â
Hagen shouted, âAm I an ordinary employee? Huh? Even if youâre president, you have to be reasonable.
Even if youâre firing a regular employee, you have to have probable cause, right? Moreover, Iâm the vice-general manager of the company.
Am I incompetent or corrupt? I have worked for the Blake Corporation for so many years without doing anything wrong.
Why should you fire me?â Preston did not say anything.
He inserted a USB flash drive into the computer and opened a video.
The video was about what had happened in Jotcham Clubhouse yesterday.
Preston said faintly, âYouâre saying that thereâs nothing wrong with threatening my personal safety? If thatâs not enough, letâs look at something else.â Preston swiped on the mouse board and immediately switched to another video.
Hagen was with two women and the scene was extremely obscene There was also a female executive present.
The female executive was so embarrassed that she immediately covered her face, not daring to look.
The people from Prestonâs team also looked down on him.
âHow immoral!â âVulgar, pooh!â âTsk tsk!â âScum!â Executives seeking access to Mapleside Villa Complex in the suburbs of Jadeborough were also furious, denting Hagen as a dirty bag.
âYou, you, turn it off! Turn it off immediately!â Hagenâs first reaction was to turn off the video, but he suddenly remembered that he could not admit it, so he said angrily, âItâs not me.
This is not me.
Preston Blake, youâre so vicious.
You created the video to frame me.â Jared chimed in, âPreston, youâve done such a thing.
in order to gain power.
I have always taught you to focus on the good thing.
You should expand Blake Corporationâs project, instead of playing these dirty tricks.
Letâs not say you made this video up, but even if itâs real, as managers, we hire people to make use of their strengths and abilities, rather than digging up dirt behind them.â Preston sneered.
âI create this? Do you need me to call a professional to appraise it now? âWhy should I dig up Hagenâs dirt? Itâs from a victim.
Knowing that I had taken office, she came to me for help and handed the video to me.
âI wouldnât interfere with Hagen playing with women if it was a mutually consensual transaction.
However, he used his position to seduce the female employees of the clientâs company.
He deserved to die.
âAs the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam collapses.
in an ant nest.
With such trash in the company, who knows when Blake Corporation will be destroyed in the hands of such a person.â âYes, Mr. Blake is right.
This kind of person deserves to die.â Someone waved his fist and shouted.
But they had followed Jared all these years.
Actually, no one was clean.
How many of them had never fooled around with women before? However, Preston had just said that he did not care if it was consensual.
Therefore, they did not feel any guilt when condemning Hagen.
Preston said loudly, âAlright, those who agree to fire Hagen, raise your hands and vote.â Everyone raised their hands in unison.
Only Jared, David, and a few of Jaredâs trusted buddies did not raise their hands.
Preston said calmly, âAlright, as usual, the minority obeys the majority.
The resolution is passed.
From today onward, Hagen Shann will no longer hold the position of Blake Corporationâs vice-general Please hand over your work after the meeting.
As for the position that Hagen Shann vacated, if you think you are qualified, you can talk to me later.
Dismissed!â After saying that, he stood up.
âWait a minute, I still have something to say,â Jared said.
Preston pretended not to hear him and walked straight out of the conference room.
The people from Prestonâs team immediately followed.
Jared was furious.
He said loudly, âWhy did you end the meeting? I still have something to say.â His fellow stayed behind, but more than ten people left with Preston.
The people who stayed in the meeting room.
looked at Jared âMr. Blake, go ahead.â Jaredâs heart was heaving up and down.
He roared in his heart, âWhat the hell can I say!â But he was afraid that he would push away those who stayed.
He needed to win over the hearts of the people.
He said, âDonât think that Preston is capable just because he got a project.
Itâs hard to say if he can handle it.
What kind of person is Lee Xander? Heâs one of the best.
Such a person must have high standards for partners.
âNow, he was giving Blake Corporation this project on account of Lianneâs relationship with his son.
âOnce Lianne broke up with his son, who knew how he would take revenge on Blake Corporation?
âJust the penalty fee alone is enough to make Blake Corporation suffer.â These people had thought that Preston was quite capable before.
Now that they heard Jaredâs words, they all responded and expressed their loyalty to Jared.
âYes, Preston is too young and too naive.â âThatâs right.
Nowadays, young people fall in love on a whim.
Their relationships never last long.
Lianne is very outstanding, but such a goddess-like person can only be appreciated from a distance.
She appears to be a fairy when you look at her from a distance.
But once you get to know her, you will realize that sheâs also a vulgarian.
Breaking up is only a matter of time.â âMr. Blake, donât worry.
No matter how Preston tempts us, we will stand with you.â âYes, donât worry, Mr. Blake.â Jared nodded.
âI also promise here that I will definitely not treat you badly.â âThank you, Mr. Blake.â Everyone thanked him unanimously.
âAlright, go back to your work,â Jared said.
Everyone left the meeting room one after another.
Jared also left.
He stopped and looked inside when passing by Prestonâs office.
He saw three executives talking to Preston about the project in his office.
Jared immediately frownedâ¦.
