Chapter 524 Band-aid Solution!
Since Huaien dared to ask Qin Xiaoxiao to come forward, it meant that he was fully prepared. At this time, the pressure of public opinion on the reporters’ side was already useless. Most of the directors inside the Barnwell group had been bribed by Huaien. What would he do next? Most likely, he would use Alma Jones to cut off their relationship and disrupt Hank’s counterattack. Or maybe he would be more straightforward by sending someone to find her right away. “Su Yuan, you can treat Keith to a meal in person.” Lyra turned around and said straightforwardly. “Treat him?” Su Yuan was surprised. But after hearing what Lyra said, she immediately understood. “Alright, Ms. Jones, I’ll call him now.”
“I’ll have to trouble you.”
“It’s fine, it’s that brat and his boss that owe us a lot.” Su Yuan shook her head. Half an hour later, Keith sat uneasily in the dining room. His mind was filled with thoughts about what Hank had instructed him to do before he went out. No matter what methods he used, he had to figure out Lyra’s plan from the lips of Su Yuan. However, when he saw Su Yuan, his mind went blank. “Sorry you waited long?” Su Yuan came over with a bag, dressed in casual clothes, looking particularly relaxed. “No, no, I just arrived for a while.” Keith rubbed his hands over his knees, so nervous that he almost could not speak. “Are you very hot? Why are you sweating?” Su Yuan stared at him. “Perhaps they don’t turn on the air-conditioner? So…why did you suddenly have dinner with me?” Keith awkwardly forced a smile. It was better to complete the task assigned by his president as soon as possible. Su Yuan propped up her chin with one hand and her voice suddenly softened.
“Nothing much. I just wanna meet you when I am sad.”
“Meet me?” Keith’s mind was instantly filled with blood. He couldn’t hear what Su Yuan had said later. When he finally walked out of the coffee shop, Su Yuan asked him, “Then I’ll take it as you agreed?”
Only then did Keith move his head.
“Thank you.” Su Yuan immediately turned around and waved her hand.
Keith swallowed a mouthful of saliva and ran back to the company.
At the same time, Hank was surrounded by the directors in the office. “Mr. Barnwell, the matter is settled. There is no need to be angry. If need be, settle down the Jones Group’s employees, or give them some executive positions.” Hank’s eyes were cold, and he slapped the table. In an instant, everyone closed their mouths. “In the company, do my words still count?” With a cold question, the directors looked at one another. It seemed that they had really been spoiled by Huaien. All of a sudden, they fell to Hank’s cold blooded management, but they were not aware as they were still thick-skinned. After they were egged by the other side, they came to Hank to talk about the conditions. They had simply forgotten how ruthless this man was. He did not even put his own uncle in his eyes, let alone them? All of a sudden, they did not dare to push their luck again. “Mr. Barnwell, of course we will obey your orders. It is all for the sake of the company’s overall situation. It is better to acquire the Jones Group. Otherwise, once the truth of the matter is exposed, the outside world will definitely say that we are abusing our power to bully others. At that time, it will have a very serious impact on the company’s reputation.” “According to what you said, you want me to use money and promotion to silence the
Jones Group’s employees, and then have my power taken away by others, and also come out to settle this accident just to satisfy your ambitions?” Hank glanced at their faces coldly
“I’m not a marionette like Qin Xiaoxiao.”
Qin Xiaoxiao stood at the door and heard everything clearly. Her nails dug into her palms and she bit her lips unwillingly. However, she had to admit that Hank was right.
