Chapter 461: 461: Reunite with Bran Cook_1

“Miss, that woman has a filthy mouth; let me teach her a lesson for you!”

After Julius Reed’s car had driven away, King Kong said in a deep voice.

Widow, this word was an eternal pain for Quella Radcliffe!

It was also the word Quella Radcliffe most dreaded!

King Kong was very clear about this.

Slap!

Quella Radcliffe slapped him and looked at King Kong coldly, “Since when is it your turn to make decisions for me?”

“Yes, Miss!”

King Kong’s face fell, and he bowed his head.

A moment later, Quella Radcliffe took a deep breath and said, “That man is very capable! At a time like this, we use each other. What good does it do to fall out with each other?”

She looked at King Kong, her loyal servant, “Do you want Jennifer Lopez to reap the benefits without any effort? I have been patient for so many years, and now such a good opportunity is in front of me. Should I not cherish it?”

“I’m sorry, Miss!”

King Kong raised his head, his fists clenched tightly, “As long as I am here, I will make sure that you are not harmed! I promise!”

There was a light in his eyes!

“Next, we have to face that woman, Jennifer Lopez!”

Quella Radcliffe rubbed her temples, “With this trick of misdirecting the disaster, even jumping into the Yellow River won’t clear my name. Julius Reed, you are truly a master at this!”

Meanwhile, Julius Reed was driving and he couldn’t care less about the widow’s feelings.

“Wife, you were so amazing just now!”

Having seen Quella Radcliffe’s performance today, Julius Reed suddenly realized that his wife was usually very nice to him.

“If my own husband can be flirted with by others and I, as his wife, don’t stand up for him, should I just let others point their fingers and say that I can’t even keep my man?”

There was a hint of grievance in Quella Radcliffe’s tone, which frightened Julius Reed so much that he quickly changed the topic.

“Wife, did you encounter any trouble today?”

“Don’t talk about it, a bunch of mess!”

Just mentioning today’s events made Quella Radcliffe angry.

“Those entrepreneurs are insincere, as if they colluded in advance. Unless Itai Huntington personally makes a decision, nobody listens to me, the general manager.”

She leaned back in the back seat of the car and sighed, “In name only.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“That’s the same as me.”

No sooner had Julius Reed said this, he felt the sharp gaze of Quella Radcliffe behind him.

“I’m just joking… tell me about it specifically.”

He shivered and held the steering wheel unsteadily.

“Today, Bran Cook was chosen as the representative of outstanding entrepreneurs, in charge of conveying the will of the entrepreneurs from Gonzalez City. So, I as the manager am really just a messenger. The suggestions I made were directly rejected, and Bran Cook on the other hand, holds the real power. Whatever he says, they listen to him.”

“To avoid offending the major groups of Gonzalez City, Itai Huntington also had to go with the flow. But today she helped me several times and even emphasized my status as the general manager, even though I really dislike her.”

Quella Radcliffe shrugged her shoulders.

She knew that this job would not be easy.

But she didn’t expect it to be this difficult!

Almost everyone was against her!

In the entire Gonzalez City, the majority of businesses were gathered around Bran Cook, and even Itai Huntington struggled to compete with him.

If it were not for the reputation of the widow, those people would have likely proposed Bran Cook for chairman already.

“Not a single achievement?”

Julius Reed raised his eyebrows; all of this was within his expectations. Bran Cook would definitely not make it easy for Quella Radcliffe!

“The location for the group’s office was chosen to be in the Five-state International Building in Gonzalez City. In the future, each company will send a representative to handle the company’s affairs fully and to receive and convey the instructions of the business alliance.”

Quella Radcliffe took out a notebook, starting to recount the topics discussed in the meeting one by one.

Today’s general meeting was very efficient, and most of the statutes were passed, giving the business alliance a preliminary set of rules.

But the only controversy was over the distribution of profits.

At the end of the day, everyone wants to join the business alliance for one thing: money!

Once the distribution of profits becomes uneven, conflict will arise.

The issue had been argued over from noon until evening without reaching any substantive conclusion.

“What are the proposals?”

Julius Reed asked.

When it comes to money, there are bound to be major disagreements.

After Quella Radcliffe went over the three plans, Julius found Quella’s proposal the most satisfying.

Dividend distribution based on contribution ratio is still the most scientific and fairest method!

Otherwise, it would be a scenario where small companies earn less and less while larger companies consume more and more.

“But what I say doesn’t count, no one listens to me.”

Quella Radcliffe said with a sense of helplessness.

“There’s a social gathering tonight, set for eight o’clock at the Five-state International Building. Itai Huntington is hosting, saying it’s to get everyone familiar with the environment and to discuss the day’s issues on the side.”

“Clearly, this is to resolve the issues in private. What time should we head over?”

Julius Reed began to ponder what Itai Huntington was really up to.

Once Itai Huntington made his move, it meant that things would proceed smoothly.

As for which side the scales of victory would tip towards, that was uncertain.

If Julius couldn’t help Quella Radcliffe gain a foothold in the business alliance, it would be within reason for Itai Huntington to choose to collaborate with Bran Cook instead.

“It seems I need to give her a little knock.”

Julius Reed immediately turned the car around and headed towards the Five-state International.

“Knock what?”

Quella Radcliffe, who was sitting in the backseat, asked casually.

Her mind was entirely occupied with how to resolve the issues and establish her prestige within the business alliance.

“I’ve got a dog that’s been a bit disobedient. I’m planning to discipline her a little, to show her that I can feed her meat as well as feed her shit!”

Julius Reed said slowly.

“You have a dog?”

Clearly, Quella Radcliffe was preoccupied.

“Yeah, and it’s a bitch at that…”

Julius Reed said awkwardly.

By the time they arrived at the Five-state International Building, there were only a few cars parked at the entrance.

With over two hours until the start of the social gathering, many people were either still on their way or at home.

There was no rush to arrive so early.

The Five-state International Building was located in the southern part of Gonzalez City, an important project in the new southern district and a huge commercial center.

Itai Huntington’s other identity was that of the largest real estate developer in Gonzalez City.

After the Brandon Family’s downfall, she took the opportunity to absorb and digest many of their assets and began constructing a large number of commercial office buildings.

Five-state International was the largest among them.

The building had thirty-three floors.

From the nineteenth to the thirty-third floor, they all belonged to Itai Huntington and were allocated to the business alliance.

The expenses were waived for the first three years, after which they would be deducted from the alliance’s profits based on normal rates.

This immediately solved the problem of finding a location for the alliance and perfectly resolved everyone’s first difficulty.

It was also the first step in establishing her authority as chairman as well as making connections with enterprise owners of Gonzalez City.

“Well, what a coincidence, it’s Mr. Cook!”

Just as they entered the gate of Five-state International, they saw Bran Cook mingling with several entrepreneurs from Gonzalez City, whispering and laughing.

“Oh! Mr. Reed!”

Upon seeing Julius Reed, Bran Cook’s face instantly darkened.
