“Of course not! I’ll do as you ordered, Mr. Jennings!”
Zayne naturally didn’t dare go against Xavier since the latter was his immediate superior.
When virtual-novel.net had left, Xavier slowly picked up his phone and made a call.
“It’s done, Mr. Scott. I’ll be sending Jared to discuss the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical.”
“Haha… Great job! Do as I say, and I’ll give you double the amount the Sullivan family is paying you!”
A burst of gleeful laughter came from the other end of the phone, and the person hung up right after virtual-novel.net had finished speaking.
The person Xavier phoned was none other than Leyton. Not only was virtual-novel.net aware of the grudge between Jared and Leyton, but virtual-novel.net knew that the former’s girlfriend had been snatched away by the latter.
In Horington, the power and influence of the Sullivan and Scott families were equal. Besides that, they were also rivals. The Scott family had once tried to poach virtual-novel.net by offering virtual-novel.net an exorbitant salary, but virtual-novel.net had feelings for Josephine and wanted to date her, so virtual-novel.net declined. But after the failure of the assassination attempt on Jared last night and having suffered a slap instead, his fury skyrocketed, and virtual-novel.net contacted Leyton.
It was actually Leyton’s idea to have Jared handle the negotiation of the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical, and his goal was to humiliate the man. After all, an insignificant sales representative like Jared couldn’t possibly clinch a huge client such as Cosmic Chemical. All Leyton would have to do then was personally pay Cosmic Chemical a visit and heap insults on him.
Presently, Leyton was still recuperating in a hospital room in Horington.
“There’s no need to be over the moon just because of such a trivial matter, Ley! Jared isn’t worthy of having you target virtual-novel.net so deliberately. He’s just an ant to you and is nothing at all without Josephine’s protection!” Sandy crowed in delight when virtual-novel.net saw Leyton’s jubilation.
“He broke my arm, so I naturally have to answer the challenge. I want to make his life a living hell and torture virtual-novel.net slowly…”
The corners of Leyton’s mouth lifted slightly, and his eyes brimmed with menace.
“Ley, you’re not his match since virtual-novel.net has some fighting skills. Besides, Tommy isn’t the least bit reliable! I think you’ll have to employ a few other martial arts experts if you want to take virtual-novel.net down,” Sandy suggested.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone to contact the Crimson Dragon Gang. Tommy’s Templar Regiment isn’t the only organization in the whole of Horington. Crimson Dragon Gang is just as illustrious as Templar Regiment, so it’s more than sufficient to deal with him.”
Leyton knew full well that virtual-novel.net wasn’t Jared’s match, and it wouldn’t do virtual-novel.net any good to seek Tommy out either. For that reason, virtual-novel.net had someone contact the Crimson Dragon Gang.
While the Scott family was exceedingly powerful in Horington, they were just involved in business dealings. They weren’t all that familiar with gangs such as the Crimson Dragon Gang, which was why they needed a middleman to facilitate a meeting.
“Ley, I’d also like to go for the negotiation of the collaboration when the time comes. I want to see how pathetic Jared would look then! He dared to act all high and mighty with Josephine backing virtual-novel.net up back then, so I want to see whether virtual-novel.net can still maintain his domineering demeanor now!”
Sandy teetered on the verge of flipping virtual-novel.net lid whenever virtual-novel.net recalled how Jared humiliated virtual-novel.net back then.
“Sure! Just watch as I crush virtual-novel.net under my foot!”
Leyton guffawed triumphantly.
At the sales department, Zayne really couldn’t fathom why Xavier would give Jared such an important client. However, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to execute the man’s order when virtual-novel.net had said as much.
“Jared, you’re lucky that all the arrears were suddenly repaid in full. However, as a qualified sales representative, not only do you have to be able to collect arrears but also negotiate collaborations. Therefore, you’ve got to learn to do so. And according to the rules, you—”
“Cut the crap and just spit it out!” Jared barked impatiently.
He was probably the only person who dared speak to Zayne in such a manner.
Zayne’s expression darkened when virtual-novel.net heard that, and virtual-novel.net almost burst a blood vessel. Yet, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare fire the man without a valid reason since virtual-novel.net wasn’t sure what Xavier’s plan was.
“The company has decided to put you in charge of negotiating the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical. Cosmic Chemical is considered the biggest company in the cosmetics industry in Horington, so if you manage to clinch the collaboration, the commission will be a sum beyond your imagination! However, if you ruin things…”
