After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 623

Chapter 623 In Wine There Is Truth

"No," Manuel answered indifferently. The elevator had arrived. Manuel went out.

"Manuel!"

What a pig-headed guy!

How could he be so stubborn?

Manuel walked fast to the parking lot and was ready to drive away.

Susan was out of breath. She stood in front of his car to stop him from driving off. Curiously, she wondered what Manuel had eaten to be so strong and fit. She had nearly lost her breath when trying to catch up with him. She was exhausted, while Manuel just sat in the driver's seat calmly. She went to him and knocked at the car window.

Manuel winded down the window and said coldly, "The project team members have settled long ago, no one is joining in the middle of it. Most of the works are drawing to a close now. It doesn't help much that Henry joins in now."

"Then why can't you just let him in since it makes no big difference?" Susan said unreasonably.

"You got me wrong. I meant Henry can't do many contributions to the project. That's how he'll have very little influence on it. But it changes a lot if the confidential documents were released."

"Oh, you don't trust Henry, do you?" Susan asked smartly.

"I'm impartial to everyone," Manuel said righteously.

"If so, you wouldn't have singled Henry out. Why can't you just let him join the team?" Susan got annoyed.

"There are only thirty people in the project team. We have more than ten thousand employees in Phillips Bank, and most of them aren't on the list. How can you say I'm singling Henry out?"

"I..." Susan was at a loss for words and felt she was going to lose the fight. She used to think he was so taciturn and he wasn't much of a talker. However, he had shut her down.

"If Henry wants to achieve bigger success in the company, tell him to forget the shortcut. Or, he'll be screwed up."

Susan wondered what he meant by saying that. But Manuel winded up the window and drove off before she realized it.

Damn it! What a terrible guy!

Susan was pissed completely.

She went back to her car panting with anger, knowing that she had failed to help Henry join the project team.

In the following week, Henry didn't get the news that he'd been admitted to the team. He knew there were two reasons. Either Susan didn't help him, or if she did but Manuel rejected it. He couldn't accept either of the results, which meant his career at Phillips Bank would hit a wall soon. Henry looked bloody cold and gloomy.

At that moment, he got a call from Sway Bank and the caller sounded extremely annoyed, "Henry, you suggested we turn up in Kensbury and provided lots of useful information. But all the companies we've negotiated with have turned a cold shoulder to us. For heaven's sake, do you know how much effort I've put to convince the headquarters of Sway Bank to develop its market in Northfield? What the hell are you doing? You're screwing it up! What do you want me to tell them? It's been a long way for me to get where I'm today. Don't you dare ruin it?"
