"What do you mean by that? You are not satisfied with the job I give you? Who do you think you are, loser? If it wasnât for the sake of Humphrey, I wouldnât have talked to you! The whole H City knows who you are!"
"Stop pretending in my place. Do you think you are no longer a broke guy, a loser, or a kept man by pretending? Kneel down and apologize to me right now, and I will give you this job. Or you cannot even walk out of the entrance of the Silva Group today!"
Neal was totally furious. Nobody dared to talk to him like this all these years, especially after Neal had become the manager of the HR Department. He had heard a lot of flattering remarks, and thus his ego had long grown bigger.
"Sounds like you are the president of the Silva Group. LOL." Maximilian said flatly.
Seeing that the situation was getting awkward, Victoria said in a low voice instantly, "Maximilian, stop it.
If you donât think the job suits you, letâs just go. Thereâs no need to argue with him."
Laura glared at Victoria and then yelled at Maximilian harshly, "Apologize to Mr. White immediately! Are you going crazy, loser? You really think youâre somebody. If you donât apologize, donât you ever want to walk into the door of my house today!"
Neal said, sneering, "I just want to offer help but now Iâm to blame. Everyone knows the story of the farmer and the viper, and now thereâs a real viper in front of me. How disgusting you are."
"Neal, donât get angry. Donât bother yourself arguing with this loser. We are both successful, and we have to be tolerant and generous towards the trash at the bottom of society." Humphrey said pleasantly.
Bang! The door of the Nealâs office was flung open. Calvin, who had been listening for a while outside the door, glared at Neal with a livid face.
What the fuck! This was the only thing Calvin could say right now. He had originally wanted to listen to Maximilian and figure out what he wanted, but after a short while, Calvin was frightened.
What was the Young Lord doing?
'You are a great figure. Why would you always pretend to be a nobody? And you are putting on a show in my place. Arenât you making a fool of me!'
His scalp tingled, his body shivering. Calvin was so scared that his guts were twitching. He pointed at Neal with trembling fingers, and yelled, "How dare you! Neal White, what are you doing?!"
Nealâs face turned pale. He looked closer and found that Calvin was furious! It must be because Calvin had heard that he practiced favoritism and gave Maximilian a job. He was doomed!
"President, I was wrong. I shouldnât practice favoritism, or give someone, who is not qualified, a job.
But I⦠havenât given him the job yet, so, so I havenât broken the rule yet, right?"
Neal felt guilty and passed the buck, but he had no idea how big a mess he had made.
Both Humphrey and Laura were shocked. It never occurred to them that the president of the Silva Group would appear.
Now it was getting real. Humphrey bit the bullet, forced a smile and said, "President Calvin, Iâm Humphrey from DK investment. Neal should not be blamed for this. Itâs my fault. I shouldnât have put Neal in an awkward situation. It was all because of me that Neal did this."
Calvin glanced at Humphrey, and then threw his gaze at Maximilian, pondering over the relationship between Humphrey and Maximilian.
Seemingly, Humphrey didnât know that Maximilian was the Young Lord. Then he must be the enemy of the Young Lord!
Calvin used his meticulous business mind that had been developed for years, and got the point with a little reflection.
"Humphrey? Who do you think you are! You are breaking the rule of the Silva Group by doing this! As for the handling of Neal White, you have no say. Do you think the Silva Group is yours?" Calvin snarled rudely!
"No, I didnât mean that. President Calvin, I mean, this has little to do with Neal. Could you please forgive him?"
Calvinâs spit was all over Humphreyâs face, but Humphrey didnât dare to raise his hand at all.
Maximilian stared happily at the messy Humphrey and felt delighted.
Seeing Maximilianâs smile, Calvin heaved a sigh of relief in his mind suddenly. It was a blessing that the Young Lord was happy!
"Neal White, what job did you give Mr. Lee just now? What kind of job exactly?" Calvin asked with a grim face.
"President, I gave him the job as a janitor of the warehouse. Itâs absolutely a minor position. I didnât dare to break the rules of our company, so I just made an exception in favor of Humphrey."
Neal was watching Calvin secretly while speaking, wanting to know how furious he was exactly.
But when Neal saw that Calvinâs eyes were burning with anger, his heart ran cold!
"Bastard! Was your head kicked by a door? How could you give him such a job? You are no longer the HR manager. Start from tomorrow, go to the warehouse you mentioned, and be that janitor!" Calvin exclaimed in anger!
Neal was dumbfounded completely. What was going on?
He, the dignified HR manager, was asked to be the janitor of the warehouse. What a waste of his talent.
Before Neal could figure it out, Calvin went on, "Donât you ever think of resigning or changing your job.
Once you leave the Silva Group, I will issue a statement to all corporations, and then no company will hire you!"
In order to please Maximilian, Calvin left no room for Neal, and wanted to have Neal be a janitor for the rest of his life.
"President, you⦠you canât do that to me. I have a masterâs degree from Harvard, and I am a senior expert in HR. How could you let me be the watchdog?" Neal retorted.
"What did I say just now? Karma is a bitch." Maximilian said slowly.
"Iâm doing it as you say, Mr. Lee. Neal White can only be a watchdog for the rest of his life." Calvin said to Maximilian, bowing.
Everyone was astonished, staring at Maximilian in shock.
It was until then that Humphrey and others realized the truth. Calvin did this to vent Maximilianâs anger.
When did Maximilian become so important? Even Calvin was so obedient and played up to him?
After all, Calvinâs status was among the top tier in H City.
"Itâs good for him to be the janitor." Maximilian said quietly.
"Neal White, say thank you to Mr. Lee immediately. Be a good watchdog in the future!"
Calvin straightened his face and waited for Neal to thank Maximilian.
Neal broke down all of a sudden. His position changed from HR manager to a janitor, and he still needed to thank Maximilian. What kind of world was this?
"Than⦠thank you, Mr. Lee. I wi⦠will work hard to be the best watchdog."
Tears streamed down his face while Neal was speaking.
"Not bad. Thatâs a great attitude. Work hard in the future." Maximilian said as if he was Nealâs boss.
Calvin said happily, "Mr. Lee, you might pick whatever job in the Silva Group as you want. You might do whatever you want to do!"
