Life at The Top novel Chapter 663

“Please address me as the president when you’re in the company,” Sylphie said with a frown.

Jonathan immediately changed the way he addressed her. “President Sylphie, let me explain the situation. I found out that my uncle is selling a company-owned patent at a low price in order to get on someone’s good side,” he told her.

Sylphie was shocked upon hearing what he said. “Mr. Jonathan, it seems like you’re one who places righteousness above familial loyalty. However, shouldn’t you report something like this to the company discipline department? I’m not working in the corporation. Why are you telling me this?”

“That’s because I think that this incident has something to do with you, President Sylphie. It’s likely that someone is using your name to scam the corporation, and my uncle is simply a victim of this fraud,” Jonathan explained righteously.

Sylphie responded in an interested tone. “This has something to do with me? Explain everything to me in detail,” she said.

With that, Jonathan explained the deal between Jasper and the corporation in to Sylphie. “Jasper Laine asked for such a low price just because you recommended him to the company, Ms. Sylphie. MP3 is now a very popular product in the West,” he asserted eloquently.

“How could he buy a patent of a product like that just for 20 million US dollars? That is daylight robbery!”

“Indeed, I was the one who recommended Jasper Laine. What do you think we should do about this?” Sylphie asked calmly. Her tone and her expression were unreadable.

Jonathan replied proudly, “Obviously, this deal should be cancelled immediately. After that, tell Jasper Laine that if he wants to buy the patent, that he can buy it at the market price. It is worth at least 50 million US dollars. Otherwise, he should just scram!”

“You’re raising the price from 20 to 50 million US dollars. Mr. Jonathan, you’re really good at doing business,” Sylphie remarked.

Before Jonathan could even enjoy Sylphie’s praise, a loud slam rang out in the room. Sylphie had picked up a document folder and slammed it onto her office desk.

“Is the reputation of Sentel Corporation only worth 30 million US dollars to you? Even if Sentel Corporation backs out of the deal, the company would have to pay a penalty of 20 million US dollars. If that happens, the company will only be left with 10 million US dollars. Is that worth it?”

Jonathan’s expression darkened. He did not dare to utter a single word.
