"What?" Elliot was stunned. For a moment, he didn't know what the new chairman was trying to tell him. He answered, walking on eggshells, "Yes, this is true. But, actually, I was just joking with the Scott Family. I didn't really want them to send a beauty for me..."
Elliot had been observing Tom's expression, being extremely nervous and uneasy. He was increasingly aware that the young chairman was so unpredictable. He secretly lent 20 million dollars to the Scott Family in private. The news did not spread, and the new chairman actually knew it. This showed that the new chairman really knew a thing or two.
Bang!
Tom suddenly launched an attack. He slapped the table, which scared Elliot into shivering and falling to the ground. "Elliot! How dare you!"
"Chchchchchch... Chairman..." Elliot was so scared that his face turned pale. He was all of a tremble, being in dread of him. "I was wrong. I was wrong! I beg your mercy!"
Tom stared at Elliot coldly. "Okay, then tell me what you did wrong."
"I... I..." Elliot's lips trembled as his mind was in a mess. He couldn't tell what he did wrong for a moment. Yeah, why was he wrong? The Scott Family was just a small family. They didn't run the family well in the past two years, losing a lot of money. The Scott Family was just a stray dog. Even if he had actually fucked a beauty from the Scott Family and hadn't pay for it, it just seemed all right.
"Can't you tell it?" Tom's eyes grew colder.
Elliot felt the increasing pressure from Tom. His forehead was sweating crazily, and he was even about to cry. He couldn't tell the reason, so he could only slap himself desperately and kept yelling that he was wrong.
Tom waited until he slapped himself a dozen times, and his face became a swollen ass. He then said, "That's enough. Stop your lame performance."
When Elliot stopped, he continued, "I know what's on your mind. The Scott Family is small, owning a small company. Even if you have slept with Phoebe and then cheat them, refusing to borrow them money, the Scott Family can't do anything to you. You can do whatever you want. Did I get you right?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Chairman, you are observant and intelligent. You said everything right. I'm wrong!" Elliot nodded like a rice pecker, more in awe of Tom. What the hell? The new chairman is not an ordinary person at all. He actually knew his little secret immediately.
Tom stared at Elliot, being exasperated at his failure, and said, "Elliot, you have been in the workplace for many years. Are you still that simple-minded? Scott Family is small, that's true. If you break your promise, they really can't do anything about you. But, don't forget, you live in the information age now. When the media start to work, it's easy to spread this news everywhere! And you are my general manager of ZQ. Once there is a scandal in our company, it will have a huge impact on our reputation! Can you be responsible for the decline of the market value? Huh?!"
Every word of Tom's stabbed Elliot in his face, turning it pale. "Chairman, I'm going to reject Phoebe now! I promise I won't hurt ZQ's reputation."
"Yes." Tom nodded. At this time, Tom received a message. His phone screen lit up. The screensaver was a photo of Phoebe. Elliot happened to see it. He was stunned for a moment. Why did this girl look so familiar?
"I don't mind if you agree to lend money to the Scott Family or not. But you should remember, wipe out your prurience towards Phoebe, understand?" Tom frowned.
"I promise!" Elliot nodded hard. When Tom left the conference room, Elliot finally relaxed and broke out in a cold sweat. The new chairman was too intimidating.
When he began to breathe more easily, he slowly calmed down, started to sort out what had happened just now. After the new chairman's meeting, he was specially asked to stay. This meant that this matter was extremely important to the new chairman.
But to be honest, this was not a big deal. First of all, the problem of affecting the company's reputation that the new chairman had said was untenable. The Scott Family was small and weak. Even if they hired the media staff, they could not compete with the media power that he had. Not to mention that the evidence was hard to collect. With Elliot's insidious means, he could completely blame his victim and charge the Scott Family with slander. By then, the Scott Family would even lose more.
Therefore, it was illogical for the new chairman to rebuke him for this. After their conversation, he did not think that the new chairman was mediocre. The new chairman must have some deep meaning in doing this! As a veteran in the workplace, it's a necessary skill to elicit the boss' mind by careful study.
So why did the new chairman do this? Censure him in order to establish his own prestige?
Suddenly, he had sudden enlightenment. He knew it!
