Another thought suddenly struck Larry as he said anxiously to Hanson, "Should we send someone to keep an eye on Khan Enterprise as well?"
He wasn't worried that Peter Khan might do something to oppose Luke Corporation. Instead, he was concerned that Eddie might gang up with them.
"What storms can a gathered bunch of shrimps brew up? Give them a chance and let them do as they like."
Hanson was like a lord in control of the whole situation, paying no heed to the gathering of a few soldiers trying to oppose him.
And, of course, Larry trusted in his own president's methods. "I'll keep an eye on them and immediately report to you as soon as they do something."
Hanson nodded. "Go."
He was actually looking forward to seeing what would happen next.
After all, he wanted to know what sorts of new tricks Eddie might pull.
Work could get boring sometimes anyway, so he didn't mind playing along with Eddie's game a little longer.
Meanwhile, Raina Khan had already gone back to the Khan Residence in disappointment, carrying a pile of things in her arms.
"Dad, you have to help me," she wailed suddenly, as if she had just experienced the indignation of a lifetime.
Seeing his precious daughter in such a miserable state, Peter immediately said with a breaking heart, "Who bullied my dear Raina? I'll definitely stand up for you."
She sat down next to him and leaned against him, reliant. "I got fired."
"Fired?" He was stunned to hear that word.
He had spent a lot of effort getting Raina a job as a secretary at Luke Corporation. How could she possibly be fired in just one morning?
He then asked in an anxious and worried tone, "What happened?"
Peter was worried that his daughter had offended Hanson somehow, and it might work against him in the future.
Naturally, Raina didn't dare to tell him the complete truth. So, she could only omit most of the details as she said angrily, "It's all because of Hanson's assistant! He didn't like me, so he gave me trouble and found an excuse to fire me."
She dared not talk bad about Hanson straight on, but she could do that with Larry.
However, when Peter heard that, he asked in confusion, "Are you talking about Larry?"
He had partnered with Luke Corporation before, so of course, he knew what Larry was like.
Now, as he looked at his daughter, he began to doubt her words a little. He insisted sternly, "Tell me the whole truth."
This incident might affect the partnership of their companies in the future.
Luke Corporation would be unaffected if their partnership were to be canceled, but things would be different for Khan Enterprise.
The profit was definitely something they couldn't gain from partnering with other companies.
Realizing that her father's expression had turned grave, Raina was even more scared to tell the truth. She could only say with a guilty conscience, "He just bullied me."
She was telling the truth, in a way.
After all, Larry was the one who provoked her with the plate.
Peter noticed his daughter's shifty gaze, so he dared not judge recklessly. "Don't worry, Raina. I'll investigate it thoroughly so you can be rest assured."
If it were other companies, he wouldn't have to be so cautious. He could just go there right away and stand up for Raina.
However, he was now tackling Luke Corporation. He absolutely could not act rashly, and the only thing he could do now was to investigate the matter first.
Meanwhile, Raina had initially thought that Peter would stand up for her straight away, but she didn't expect her father to be scared, so she grew uncomfortable about it right then and there.
What is there to fear about a mere assistant? The thought crossed her mind, but in her father's presence, she could only nod and say, "Okay, you have to stand up for me when you've investigated the matter."
