Chapter 733: Chapter 733 Counter Their Every Move

The project manager, Gail, was a little reluctant to give up, “President Granger, I’m afraid that you’re going against the rules, aren’t you?”

“Which part of this is against the rules? Didn’t you say that the partner should be chosen from the people in this room?”

“That’s right!”

“Except for Eudora,” Amos added.

“T-that’s right!”

“A female!”

“Y-yes!”

“Then, what seems to be the problem?” Amos questioned.

“No…” Gail was speechless. Amos’ logic was actually impeccable.

Only Juju clapped her hands happily. “Dad, can we sing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme song?”

When Juju was still young, Amos and Eudora had participated in a parent-child event held in their school and they had sung that song.

They originally thought that the little girl had already forgotten about it after such a long time.

They did not expect that after so many years, she still remembered it.

Amos nodded. “Okay!”

Soon, the low voice of a man and the tender voice of a child sounded in the room. The combination of the two gave their audience a unique feeling.

Harley was envious while watching them, “Having a daughter isn’t so bad!”

Eudora feverishly applauded her husband and children. Of course they would be excellent, for they were her husband and child. Wasn’t this already enough for her to be proud for a lifetime? They were so exemplary!

After the song finished, Amos continued to spin the bottle.

This time, there was no doubt that it was Gail from Giant Star again.

There was a tremor of unease from Gail, and he said, “President Granger, you…”

Amos smiled harmlessly, “What a coincidence this is. Well, we have to treat visitors  with the same manner. It’s your time to perform now.”

The corner of Gail’s mouth twitched. He felt like he was being taken revenge on.

“Then, I’ll take the ‘dare’!”

Consequently, Amos picked up a large bottle of wine and put it on the table. “Drink!”

Gail was startled.

After learning from previous experience, he was smart this time. He got up and said, “Where are the glasses? President Granger, you just want me to have a glass of it, don’t you?”

Amos put on an innocent face and said, “So you only want to have a glass? I thought you loved drinking so much since you drank the whole bottle of it just now, thus I’ve already asked the waiters to take all the glasses away. Sorry, if you don’t want to fulfil my request, then I’ll ask the waiter to bring them back!”

He deliberately emphasized the words ‘don’t want to fulfil my request’. Even if the man did not want to drink, he would not dare to say so.

In the business industry, rules had always been like this. One should show respect and complacency to someone who was more powerful than oneself.

Unless, one did not want to have a job in the business industry anymore.

Even though he felt extremely reluctant, he still tried to smooth things over in the situation.

“What are you talking about, President Granger? How could I ever be unwilling to do that? I’ll drink it.”

As a result, Gail drank another bottle of alcohol. This time, the alcohol truly intoxicated him a little.

That kind of alcohol had a strong effect that was delayed. After drinking two bottles of alcohol, the man felt a little dizzy.

He did not dare to think about conspiring against Amos anymore. He randomly spun the bottle, thinking of letting the issues between Amos and him go.

However, Gail did not expect the bottle to land on Amos again.

He almost fainted. What kind of d*mn fate did he have with Amos?!

Amos still chose to do a dare. This time, Gail wanted to show his goodwill to Amos, so he said casually, “President Granger, let’s do something that makes you happy!”

As soon as he finished his words, he saw a trace of cunning in Amos’ eyes.

The man’s heart skipped a beat. Amos picked up another bottle of alcohol and said, “Alright then, let’s drink!”

The guy was stunned. His legs went limp, and he directly fell onto the sofa.

Samuel frowned and said, “President Granger, that doesn’t seem to be such a good idea. Gail is here to talk business with us. Even if you don’t like him, you shouldn’t make him to suffer like this. Valiant East doesn’t need this opportunity to cooperate with them, but the Tyly Company still does!”

Amos snorted and said, “Mr. Chilton, what do you mean by that? I thought you were an employee of Tyly Company, so you should be thinking for the company’s sake instead. I didn’t expect that you would defend others.”

Samuel went quiet for a while before he continued, “I’m thinking for Tyly Company’s sake, so that’s why I’m determined to find a new way for the company to get back on track. Do you want to see our hard-earned company go bankrupt like this?”

The two of them talked one after another, and the atmosphere was suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Leslie stopped Samuel and said, “Don’t say anything more. Won’t you place Miss George in a difficult situation if you continue on like this?”

Samuel pursed his lips and said, “Difficult situation? If President Granger really treats Miss George as family, then Tyly Company should be equivalent to Valiant East, right? If today’s incident happened to Valiant East, would President Granger still be so relaxed and make fun of Gail from Giant Star?”

Hearing that, Amos’s face darkened slightly.

“So, what Mr. Chilton means is that I don’t regard Eudora as my family? No one in this world cares about her more than I do.”

Hearing his words, the rest of the people in the room all fell silent.

They did not know why a nice gathering had turned out to be so serious all of a sudden.

The secretary took the lead and gave everyone a look, “Miss George, we still have something to do. We’ll take our leave first!”

Eudora nodded, and everyone immediately ran away, as if they were worried that they would be splashed by blood.

After everyone left, Eudora walked over and closed the door.

“Uncle Chilton, Amos, stop arguing. I know you’re all concerned about me. I don’t want to see my family and friends still quarreling with each other at this time.”

Leslie also nodded. “Yes, Samuel. Don’t be stupid now. Don’t mess up their relationship like I used to. If Amos and Eudora end up not getting along with each other, it’ll be a big mistake on your part!”

As he said that, Leslie and Eudora took Samuel away, with Juju following them.

As the door was closed again, only then did Harley let out a sigh of relief.

“You scared the hell out of me. You two acted well just now! Your acting was better than mime!”

Amos snorted, “We were actually quarreling.”

Harley was baffled.

There was a short pause.

Amos said again, “Do you see any clues?”

Harley nodded and said, “I’ve made a rough judgment. So, what are you going to do next?”

“Counter their every move!”

…

As the night deepened, the dark room remained.

The voice of the man who sat on the executive chair was ice-cold. In front of him, the drunken Gail hadn’t woken up yet.

Not only that, he was talking nonsense.

The man who was listening to his babbling bore a darkened expression, and he instructed, “Drag him away, all of you!”

They brought Gail away.

After that, the man said in a gruff voice, “I didn’t expect that we would be noticed by Amos, although we’ve done everything so furtively.”

“So, Sir, do we continue?”

“Of course! Since he has refused to take the easy way, we’ll do it the hard way then.”

Hearing that, the subordinate standing in front of the man was astounded.

The man spoke again, “Contact Mark. Doesn’t he always say that he wants to help me? Last time, he had screwed up himself, so he couldn’t blame me. This time, let’s see how he does. If he does well, I wouldn’t mind fulfilling our previous agreement. All I wish is for him to carry the job out smarter this time.”

“Yes, Sir!”
