“Alright, Mr. York!” Yvonne nodded. At the same time, she lamented for the Zimmers. How could they bully the CEO’s wife? The Zimmers really did not know how to behave themselves properly.
“Besides, ask Tyson to come and meet me in the afternoon.” Suddenly, Harvey thought of someone else.
Yvonne was stunned. Tyson was a gangster in Niumhi, and he led quite a good life, doing that. He never had any kind of contact with York Enterprise. Why would the CEO...
“Ask him to come.” Harvey spoke again.
Yvonne seemed to have something on her mind. But she still nodded respectfully before she left the office. After all, Harvey’s every command must be obeyed and carried out in York Enterprise no matter what. She just needed to fulfill her task, and she did not have to ask the reason.
…
Tyson came. But it was beyond Yvonne’s expectation. Tyson was usually a rather frightening and powerful person in Niumhi. After he received her call, he went to York Enterprise in less than half an hour. He then waited there respectfully. The main thing was he did not dare to enter Harvey’s office when it was not time yet.
He waited until three o’clock in the afternoon. He was then led to Harvey’s office by Yvonne. He entered the office uneasily. When he saw Harvey, he placed his hands at his sides, and did not even dare to raise his head.
After that, Harvey waved his hands at Yvonne, gesturing for her to leave. Only then did Harvey pour a glass of water for Tyson in person. He said calmly, “Just take a seat. We’re buddies. Why do you have to act so respectfully? If you let your subordinates see you like this, how could you be their boss in the future then?”
“Mr. York, how could I act like a boss in front of you? I’m just a mere subordinate.” Tyson wiped away his cold sweat. He then held the glass of water with both of his hands and said, “Regarding what happened at the Zimmers the other day, I didn’t mean that. If I knew that it was you…”
Speaking of that, Tyson wanted so badly to strangle Don to death. For the past few days, he had not received any news from Harvey which worried him greatly. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he received the call from Yvonne that morning.
Harvey sat down by himself and said softly, “I didn’t take it to heart. But Brother Tyson, you really quite disappoint me. You’ve been here in Niumhi for so many years now. How could you become someone else’s thug and beat the others up for them?”
Tyson was soon covered with cold sweat. He said, “Mr. York, there was only once. It’s true. I did it only once. I usually never do these kinds of things. It’s always my subordinates who do that.”
Harvey replied calmly, “I don’t care how you usually discipline your subordinates. But nowadays, it’s the time in which we need to use our intelligence instead of fists. If we only know how to use our fists in dealing with things, there’ll be trouble soon. Do you understand what I mean?”
Tyson nodded immediately and said, “Mr. York, what you said is true. I’ll remember that.”
“Take a seat. Do sit down since I asked you to,” said Harvey calmly. “Recently, I need you to deal with something for me.”
“Sure! Mr. York, I’m at your service.” Tyson looked respectful. ‘If Mr. York asks me to do something for him, it means that he’s no longer angry.’
