“What!”

Heery George was shocked.

In order to start this project, he had already borrowed hundreds of millions of funds.

Now everything was ready and just waiting for the final moment. After the business performance in the afternoon, he and his partners would jointly launch the rental loan to the public.

But now the core spokesperson wanted to back out at the last minute, that was unacceptable!

“Tell her, it’s impossible! I’ll never agree to it! If she refuses to fulfill the contract, then let her face a lawsuit! Negotiate to terminate the contract? In her dreams!”

His secretary reluctantly said, “Boss, I told Adam Martin the same thing. But he said that if we insist on fulfilling the contract, then we must also strictly abide by it. Jenny Hart can be our company’s spokesperson and will assist our company in promoting Chesterton Apartment according to the contract requirements, but she will never participate in any rental loan-related projects.”

“This…”

Heery George fell silent.

When they had signed the contract, they had withheld this information because of the numerous financial product scandals in recent years, fearing that Jenny Hart would not accept the endorsement, right?

Later when the contract was signed and Jenny Hart’s side found out about the change in the situation, they grudgingly accepted it, considering the money they had received.

Now that they were talking about the contract, it was Chesterton Apartment that was at a disadvantage.

These two weren’t pushovers, and they had a large entertainment group backing them up, their legal department was not to be trifled with either.

“Where are Jenny Hart and Adam Martin now? I’ll go and talk to them personally!”

Heery George made a decisive decision.

The secretary said, “They are in the coffee shop downstairs, they didn’t leave.”

Heery George looked around and picked a few people, “You all come with me.”

Then, as if he remembered something, he pointed to Linden Brown, “You come with us too.”

Linden Brown felt uncomfortable but dared not refuse, only following behind the others with a downcast expression.

The vice president slowed down a bit and walked beside him, lowering his voice, “At this point, don’t try to prove your point. Apologize when you should, and make sure your attitude is sincere. Mr. George should have some arrangements for Harrison Clark, but no matter what the result is, you must not show any displeasure on your face, or else I won’t be able to help you either.”

Linden Brown: “Understood.”

Downstairs at the coffee shop, Harrison Clark was about to excuse himself when he heard a slight commotion in the coffee shop.

He looked up and saw a line of people led by Heery George coming down the aisle of the coffee shop.

The expressions of these people were very serious.

“Miss Hart, I think we need to talk.”

As the helm of Chesterton Apartment, Heery George was able to make a decision with a single word, so he got straight to the point when they met.

Jenny Hart did not put on airs and made an inviting gesture, “Please sit.”

The coffee shop booth had four seats, with Jenny Hart and Adam Martin sitting on one side and Harrison Clark sitting on the opposite side. As Heery George sat down, he ended up next to Harrison Clark.

The rest of the people stood behind them like a group of followers.

As expected of a big boss, even though he was a bit irritated, Heery George appeared very graceful on the surface and took the initiative to greet, “Hello, Harrison.”

Harrison Clark was a bit nervous.

Although the other party had nothing to do with him now, it was true that he had been an employee of Chesterton Apartment for half a year. He had often seen Mr. George speaking at company meetings and had witnessed several instances of this boss wielding his authority, which inevitably made him feel pressured.

However, Harrison quickly adjusted and calmly replied, “Hello, Mr. George.”

Heery George nodded in acknowledgment and considered the greeting done.

He then turned to Adam Martin and Jenny Hart and said, “I have understood your intentions. I hope the two of you can reconsider. Our company has done a lot of preparatory work to launch this product. You should have read the detailed project proposal as well.”

“Our company is truly sincere and determined to make the rental loan project a success. The scale of Chesterton Apartment is well known to both of you, and we cannot engage in a one-shot deal like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. So, your concerns are unfounded.”

Adam Martin coughed lightly, “Mr. George, it’s not that we are worried. Our decision was made after considering various factors.”

As he spoke, Adam subtly cast his eyes on Harrison Clark.

Heery George noticed and chuckled, “That’s a trivial matter. I’ve already figured out the situation between Harrison and Linden Brown. So, from now on, Linden Brown will be demoted to an entry-level salesman, in charge of business development in the Habakkuk District. Harrison Clark will take up the position of regional manager of our company in the High-tech Zone.”

Linden Brown, who had been hiding behind, changed his expression dramatically. What a disaster!

With just one sentence from the big boss, his hard-eamed position was stripped away!

He was demoted all the way to the bottom!

Business development was a joke! It was simply cold-calling landlords every day asking if they wanted to rent their property, which was even worse than being an apartment manager.

But Harrison Clark did not take the bait, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. George, but I have already resigned. There’s nothing interesting about being a manager, so I’d better find my own way. I’m very satisfied with the compensation your company promised me.”

Harrison Clark didn’t have the slightest interest in going back. To him, Linden Brown’s managerial position, which Linden held dear to his heart, was now just a filthy garbage pile.

Heery George had anticipated this and looked back at Linden Brown.Linden Brown understood what was at stake, and to save his own job, he went all out.

Linden stood up and, in front of everyone, fell to his knees with a thud.

“Brother Chen, I’m sorry, really sorry. I did wrong, and I hope you can forgive me. I’m such a fool, I said some harsh words, I really have no brains, no experience!”

Slap!

Linden actually slapped himself in the face.

Now it was good, the injury on his face from yesterday hadn’t healed yet, and now the other side was swelling too.

Both sides of his face swelling at the same time, he looked like a pig’s head hanging on a rack.

But Harrison Clark had no sympathy for him and said indifferently: “I wouldn’t dare hold a grudge against Manager Brown.”

Linden looked around with a bitter face, hoping for help.

His aggrieved eyes seemed to be telling others.

You all see, this guy is just like this, insensitive.

Heery George thought for a moment, “Harrison, to show my apology, I’ll personally compensate you with 200,000 yuan for mental suffering. What do you think?”

Before Harrison could respond, Heery George also said to Jenny Hart and Adam Martin, “You two, our previous endorsement contract was for two years and two million. But you two know our real needs, and now that we’ve added to the scope of work, the compensation should naturally go up. Two years, six million! What do you two think?”

Yes, since they couldn’t win with face, let’s talk about the inside.

Adam Martin and Jenny Hart were indeed stunned.

With just a word from Heery George, they had another four million in hand.

Even for celebrities, four million is not a small amount to ignore.

Jenny and Adam looked at each other, feeling a bit bitter in their hearts.

Money, who doesn’t want it?

But the two had previously expressed their willingness to support Harrison to the end; it would be embarrassing to change their minds for four million now.

Harrison keenly sensed the change in their mentality.

But Harrison was not angry.

After all, the project he and Carrie Thomas were preparing, A Dull Life, had a starting investment of 300,000-400,000 yuan, but more money was always better.

He, Harrison Clark, was really short of money!

Four million! Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Moreover, due to the clumsiness of Linden Brown and David Mitchell, Heery George had to bleed so much money. How could he not continue to take care of them when he got back?.

The more meat they cut off from Heery George, the less they worried about him not being hard on the two when it came to Linden Brown and David Mitchell.

Anyway, Jenny and Adam were already moved, so Harrison naturally didn’t want to block their way to make money.

After all, if the two of them made money, when he went to sell Deep in the Night later, he would be more justified in getting a higher price.

Five hundred thousand would not be enough to satisfy Harrison now.

Money is never too much.

“Mr. George, although I personally haven’t suffered any spiritual loss from your company, I am quite satisfied with this compensation for mental suffering.”

Harrison made his stand.

Over on their side, Adam and Jenny immediately followed suit, expressing their willingness to sit down and discuss a new contract.

Harrison was not interested in the rest of the matters. After the finance department had made the transfers, he got up and left.

As he walked out of the cafe and got into a taxi, Harrison looked down at the text message on his phone.

Bank card balance: 230,000 yuan!

Rich!

Really rich now!

Thinking back on the hard work of the past half year, when he couldn’t even afford to eat the cheapest instant noodles and had to scrimp and save just to get 50,000 yuan, Harrison felt a little sorry for himself.

Today, he saw what it meant to be a rich man’s show: just saying sorry, and 200,000 was given away.

And over at Jenny’s side, it was even more outrageous: four million given away!

But in fact, Harrison knew that the four million had nothing to do with him; it was simply that Chesterton Apartment was doubling down on rent loans and couldn’t afford to lose.

Moreover, the more anxious Heery George appeared, the bigger the risk Harrison felt as a former employee of Chesterton Apartment in this financial product.

But this point should also be clear to Adam, as they had a dedicated legal team over there to help them cope.

Jenny and Adam were the ones being greedy, and they were also the ones signing the contract. There was no need for Harrison to try and deter them alone.

After all, they’d only just met, and saying too much would be delving too deep

too soon..
