Consider?
Did they still need to think about it?
The three bosses glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly. One after another, they eagerly began to flatter Philip and said, “We agree to the cooperation.”
Philip nodded and said, “As it should be. Since we’re cooperative partners now, all of us are friends.”
After that, Philip looked at Agnes.
The latter suddenly came back to virtual-novel.net senses and hurriedly invited the three bosses to enter the general manager’s office again to renegotiate the terms of cooperation.
Very soon, an agreement was reached.
After sending the three bosses away, Agnes returned to the general manager’s office and saw Philip sitting on the sofa, sipping tea.
“Mr. Clarke, I…”
Agnes felt a little guilty because virtual-novel.net had not performed well.
In the end, Philip needed to step forward and solve it for her.
She felt that virtual-novel.net was not qualified for this job.
Philip seemed to notice Agnes’ hesitation and self-blame. He said with a smile, “Agnes, there are no outsiders here. Don’t call me Mr. Clarke. Just call me Philip.”
Agnes did not dwell on this topic and said, “Philip, I don’t think I’m qualified for the general manager’s position. I want to resign.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Agnes felt that virtual-novel.net had let Philip down.
Her eyes went red.
Philip seemed to have guessed that Agnes was going to say this, so virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Agnes, I know what you’re thinking. But in my eyes, you’re more than capable of taking up the position of general manager. I believe in you. Let’s put it another way. Even if this company goes down, it won’t affect me that much.”
Agnes glanced at Philip when virtual-novel.net heard his words and said, “Are you so rich now that you don’t feel anything even if the company goes bust?”
Philip laughed and said, “Really, Agnes, you have to believe in yourself. What happened today has nothing to do with your capability. You may come across something like this again in the future. At that time, you have to learn to exercise your judgment and act decisively. Who are the people you can talk to about cooperation and who are the people only suitable for tough methods to force them to talk about cooperation?
“Agnes, don’t think too much into it. If you feel that you can’t do it by yourself, you can hire more talents,” Philip continued.
Agnes thought for a long time before saying, “Okay, I’ll try again.”
Philip got up, pressed Agnes’ shoulder, and said, “Not only do you have to try, but you also have to fully believe in your own abilities. If you have any problems that can’t be solved, just call me and we can discuss it together.”
Agnes turned virtual-novel.net head, the corners of virtual-novel.net mouth lifting into a smile. Her face was filled with a coquettish smile as virtual-novel.net said, “Okay, I’ll work hard.”
After chatting for a while, Philip got up and prepared to leave the company.
However, just at this time, the phone rang suddenly.
After Philip answered it, Theo’s anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Clarke, I have something urgent to report to you!”
Philip was a little surprised to receive a call from Theo at this time. Moreover, listening to the man’s tone, virtual-novel.net sounded very anxious.
Could it be that something had happened?
“What’s the matter?” Philip asked.
“Mr. Clarke, it’s about your sister-in-law, Lynn Johnston, and Mrs. Clarke. I’m afraid something has happened to them!” Theo said anxiously. He was in his Maybach rushing to Philip’s location.
What?!
Philip’s head buzzed. It had only been a few days and something happened to Wynn again?
This time, Lynn was involved as well!
He did not have time to ask for the details before virtual-novel.net ran out of the company. As soon as virtual-novel.net left the building, Theo’s car stopped at the door.
“What happened exactly?”
Philip’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net growled.
Theo sweated profusely as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Clarke, Mrs. Clarke received a phone call in the hospital and hurried out. According to the men’s report, virtual-novel.net went to a local money-lending company. The boss of the company is Ulrich Craig, a person with ruthless methods and who has made lots of dirty transactions. He came from out of town two years ago.”
“Ulrich Craig?” Philip frowned and asked, “What’s his background?”
“Ulrich Craig is a very dangerous guy. In two years, virtual-novel.net took over all the large and small money-lending companies in Riverdale. His methods are harsh and vicious. He’s extremely prideful. Moreover, according to recent news, this guy is being supported by someone behind him. This time, for Mrs. Clarke to enter one of his companies, it’s most likely related to money.”
Theo finished speaking in one breath and felt a little flustered.
He and Ulrich had never crossed paths, so everyone was at peace.
After all, Ulrich’s business did not conflict with Theo’s.
Besides, Ulrich was not engaged in power scuffles. He merely raised his own thugs, or in other words, debt collectors.
Philip frowned. Was this issue related to money?
Did Wynn borrow money from a loan shark?
“Let’s go.”
Philip was anxious. Wynn should be resting now. If something happened again, the baby could be gone.
Theo opened the car door. The two got into the car and sped toward Ulrich’s company.
Dozens of black Mercedes-Benz cars followed closely behind Theo’s car to Ulrich’s company.
