Vincent lowered his head and did not dare to say a word. He did not expect anyone to know and even shoot a video.
"Of course I want to be the chief justice. Otherwise, wouldn't our efforts be in vain?" Vincent knew that he was wrong, so his voice was so low, not daring to provoke Terrence.
"You knew it was stupid. But you still did that!" Terrence was so furious that he wanted to slap Vincent. He had already told Vincent not to mess around, but he still did it.
Terrence scolded, "Break up with that woman immediately. Don't make any mistakes during this time!"
Vincent nodded. Just as he was about to answer yes, the phone in his pocket rang again.
Vincent clicked on the text message: give up running for the chief justice, or I will release the video.
Vincent's face darkened, "This must have been done by the man who was competing with me for the position!"
Terrence narrowed his eyes and agreed. After all, the competition was so fierce, so it was unavoidable for the opponent to use some despicable methods.
Terrence was angry about this, but he knew that it was important to solve the problem now.
After thinking for a while, he said to Vincent, "Don't worry about it. But never make this kind of mistake in the future!"
"But if they release it, I will be finished by then." How could he run for the chief justice if his personal life issues were exposed to the public?
Of course, Terrence knew, and he had helped Vincent a lot so he could get to this day, so it was impossible for him to fail.
"I said, don't worry about it. Keep calm and act as that nothing happened." After Terrence's anger faded, he calmed down. Their opponent sent a video to make them panic. At this time, they had to hold their anger and worries and see what else the other party was going to do.
When the time came, they would not be in a passive position.
Vincent had no choice but to listen to Terrence. Terrence had always been his backbone, although he was still a little afraid that his position would be taken.
But he didn't dare to say anything more. After all, it was his fault. He needed to just listen to him.
However, at this moment, the host's voice sounded, "Thank you all for coming to the anniversary of the XWX Group. I hope that the future of the XWX Group will not be limited to its present. I believe that the company will continue to develop and innovate steadily, continuously, and healthily!" The host's voice was bright and powerful, resounding throughout the ship.
Then there was applause and all kinds of blessings.
Generally, the company's anniversary would be about the company's development during the past year, as well as awarding the employees who had made great contributions, and the president's giving a speech about the future.
Because the people who came today were all people of some status. They came here to promote communication and seek cooperation, not to hear about the history of the company.
In order to further communicate, they arranged a few performances, and the host held the microphone and spoke again, "In order to make everyone enjoy today's party and have fun, we specially prepared a few programs. The first one is to have our XWX Group's CEO Boss Rufus invite a lady, and give us an opening dance to show that our anniversary officially begins!"
Rufus was standing right in the middle in a straight suit. The beam of light cast on him, and everybody was looking at him waiting to see who he would choose.
Rufus's eyes stopped on Arya in the corner.
He walked over. The beam of light followed him, and everyone's eyes followed. Not many people knew Arya.
Rufus put one hand behind his back and the other palm up in a gentlemanly position. "Miss Harrison, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I have the honor to invite you for a dance?"
Arya looked up at him. "I'm sorry, I don't know how to dance."
Rufus's expression remained the same, "It's okay. I can teach you."
All eyes were fixed on her. Arya had no choice but to stand up, but she did not accept Rufus's invitation. Instead, she said, "Thank you, Rufus. I really don't know how to dance and I don't want to cause trouble for you, please choose someone else."
"Is this lady decided to not give Rufus any respect at all?" Someone in the crowd said.
Rufus narrowed his eyes. Arya's refusal made him extremely unhappy. When had he ever been rejected in public like this?
And on such an occasion, Rufus sneered, "Isn't Miss Harrison afraid to offend me that I'll make things difficult for you?"
Arya's expression was more intriguing than his. "I'm afraid even if I did this dance, we still won't be friends."
