Chapter 962

“Is this the photographer Mr. Count? May I know if your work has been going well recently? Oh, I don’t have anything important. I just wanted to say that the military has just commissioned me to produce a documentary. As we’re currently lacking a photographer, I wonder if you’re up for the job? Yeah, you should quit your current job then. A good opportunity as such, is hard to come by.”

“Hello, is this Mr. Leonard? Oh, you’re still busy editing, huh? I have a huge project funded by the military, and I was wondering if you were interested... Okay, I’ll wait for your good news.”

At Trust Media.

To make a name for the company, attracting more artists to sign under it, Zeke decided to use the name of the Great Marshal to fund a military movie, that would be produced by Trust Media.

The movie would also help to promote the military.

Since he knew nothing about the movie industry, he decided to let Mia Young handle the project.

He walked out of the office and was about to look for her when he found Mia and Lacey arguing, with a group of employees.

Zeke hurriedly approached them and asked, “Lacey, what’s going on?”

Lacey sighed and relayed the previous incident that had occurred.

These employees had suddenly received Lucius’ invitation to join a new project of his.

The project was funded by the military, so, it was a very tempting proposal to them.

They had decided to quit their jobs, going over to Lucius’ side.

Zeke finally realized what was happening. “Is Lucius’ project really that enticing? You guys would rather breach your contracts to join his project?”

The photographer, Adam Count, replied, “Of course. If we join this project, we’re serving the military, gaining its protection. This is the opportunity of a lifetime!”

Zeke announced, “If that’s the case, then you guys don’t have to quit. The Great Marshal has also entrusted a military movie project to our company. I think that the temptation coming from the Great Marshal would be much more, than the one coming from the military, right?”

The crowd was startled. Then, everyone burst out, into laughter.

Adam Count mocked, “The Great Marshal is busy defending the borders. How will he have the time or mood to shoot a movie? Mr. Williams, even if you want us to stay, you really don’t need to lie.”

Lacey and Mia had awkward expressions upon their faces too.

Zeke’s bragging was getting out of hand. They themselves refused to believe it, let alone what more, of Adam Count and the others?

This is so embarrassing!

Zeke frowned.

Why are you guys reacting like this? Are you treating me as a joke?

Adam pressed forward, “Ms. Young, Mr. Lucius Johansson specially asked me to invite you to join this project. This is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity, for you to become even more successful. He hopes that you will grab it. Otherwise, you’ll regret it, for life.”

Mia immediately rejected his offer, without hesitation. “I’m sorry, but I’m indebted to Mr. Williams. It’s impossible for me to leave him during such times.”

Adam rolled his eyes at her. “Hmph, you really don’t know what’s good for you. You’ll regret it soon enough. Let’s go.”

He was about to leave with the others when Zeke spoke up.

“Wait a minute, you guys have breached your contracts, quitting your jobs without advanced notice.

You need to cough up the penalty for that.”

Adam taunted, “We’re now serving the military. How dare you ask for the penalty? Are you trying to court death?”

“Fine.” Zeke shrugged. “In the future, the penalty that you’ll pay will be twice, thrice, or even four times the amount of what you’d needed to pay today.”

Adam and the others roared in laughter. “Haha, sure! If you’re not afraid of death, you’re welcome to come and claim the money from us. I guarantee you that for every time you ask for it, you’ll die at least once!”

Soon enough, the group of employees left.
