Chapter 33
The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 33 Fire Him
Jessica was getting irritated and glared at Brittany. âDid you clearly understand what I said? If Daniel says the sculpture is worth fifty
million, and he needs you to do something for him, you should do it! If the sculpture isnât worth fifty million in the end, Iâll punish him! But until then, do as he told you.â
Jessicaâs command left Brittany with no choice but to comply. Despite feeling infuriated, she asked Daniel with a glare, âWhat do you want me to do for you?â
âGo buy me a bottle of vodka â the most expensive one.â
âVodka? What for? Youâre smashing up the statue and now you want to drink? Whatâs wrong with you?â
âItâs not for me â itâs for the statue. If I donât âfeedâ it, it wonât reveal its true form. If it doesnât show its true worth, itâs worthless. If it does, then it can be worth fifty million.â
âYou idiot, do you think Iâm going to believe that bullshit?â
Despite her disbelief, Brittany still refused to go. She was completely certain that Daniel was spouting nonsense. A statue he had cracked had nothing to do with vodka. She had never heard of any connection between antiques and alcohol, and Brittany wasnât about to start believing Danielâs absurd story.
Brittany didnât want to go, and Daniel had no authority to command her. With no recourse, he had to turn to Jessica instead.
âJessica, since Brittany isnât willing to help, I guess youâll have to
make the run
Jessica was taken aback â did this guy really have the nerve to order her around? She was so angry that she felt like kicking him to teach him who was the boss here. However, she held back the urge. Instead, she decided she wanted to see exactly what Daniel was up to.
âBrittany, go buy him the vodka! If it turns out to be useless, deduct the cost of the liquor plus your running around fee from his salary
âDeduct from his salary? Thatâs it?â
âWhat else do you want?â
âFire him!â
âDanielâs trial period lasts a year. During this time, I will not fire him! So, stop thinking about firing him.
âWhy does every other employee have a trial period of only three months, and he gets one year? Besides, if he turns out to be unfit
during his trial period, canât you fire him immediately? Whatâs so good about this loser?â
âAre you questioning my decision?â
âNo⦠Iâm not!â
Brittany quickly shook her head. âFine, you donât have to fire him. But if this statue doesnât end up being worth fifty million, from that point on, Daniel reports to me! He has to do whatever I tell him to. Is that okay?â
âThatâs fine!â
Jessica agreed, which satisfied Brittany. Since she couldnât fire Daniel, she decided she would torment him until he couldnât take it anymore and resigned on his own.
Three minutes later, Brittany returned with a threeâthousandâdollar bottle of vodka after visiting several stores to find it. Upon receiving
the bottle, Daniel unscrewed the cap, sniffed it to ensure it was
indeed real liquor, and then began to drink it down.
âJessica, look at this loser! He just wanted to drink! You need to
punish him severely! That bottle cost me five thousand dollars, and I want him to compensate me ten thousand dollars out of his salary!â
