Chapter 1228 A Way Of Thanking You


    Impatiently, Shane hung up the phone. He was well aware of the sect’s rules, but he had truly earned


    his position in thepany through his own merit. No one had assisted him in achieving it.


    In this society, capability was everything. Take Frederick, for example. He was highly educated, taller,


    and even slightly more good-looking than Shane… Well, maybe slightly less handsome. But what did


    that matter? Wasn’t Frederick fired shortly after joining thepany?


    In contrast, Shane was thriving in thepany effortlessly.


    When he returned to the office, his colleagues were all engaged in conversation.


    “Have you heard? Ourpany is going to negotiate a partnership with Diamond Titan Military


    Technologies!”


    “Oh my God! That’s a top international conglomerate! Do we have the capacity for that?”


    “I’m not sure; it’s just a rumor. It’s something our boss is supposed to handle!”


    “I heard that if this project is sessful, there’s amission of 1 million!”


    Shane wasn’t interested in such hot topics. After all, he had been with thepany for a while now and


    still had no idea what he was doing. In other words, he was just muddling along. However, he was


    intrigued by the million- dormission, but he also knew that such a significant task would not be


    assigned to a newbie like him.


    “Hey, who put their breakfast on my desk?” Shane sat at his desk and found an extra breakfast on it.


    Unlike the inexpensive breakfast L and the others usually brought, this was a luxurious and


    nutritious meal!


    “Shane, that’s from Ms. Pennington. She said it’s her way of saying thank you!” L told him with a


    wink.


    Shane felt somewhat ttered. Isn’t Ms. Pennington being too kind to me? A luxurious and nutritious


    meal just for letting her take the taxi?

    “Haha! Thanks. I’m really ttered,” Shane said modestly, but he quickly devoured the meal.


    However, recalling Santiago’s reminder, he felt that he owed Ms. Pennington a huge favor. “I have to


    repay her!” He sighed, worrying about how to repay the favor, when he noticed that Ms. Pennington


    had been in a meeting with Henry all day and hadn’t even had lunch.


    When Lauren finally emerged from Henry’s office at 2 p.m., she was famished.


    Just then, Shane handed her a sumptuous lunch.


    Lauren was stunned. She had already ordered lunch. What was Shane doing?


    “Ms. Pennington, this is to thank you for the breakfast. My family has never liked owing favors for over


    100 years!” Shane said proudly


    Lauren initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, shù gratefully said. “Shane, thank you so


    much! But now I

    Lauren initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, she gratefully said, “Shane, thank you so


    much! But now I owe you a favor.”


    “Haha! Ms. Pennington, it’s too kind of you to say that!” Shaneughed. “As I just said, my family has


    never liked owing favors for over 100 years. I let you have the taxi this morning to repay your previous


    favor, and now I’m repaying you for the breakfast you bought me!”


    “Huh? But this—”


    Before Lauren could say anything, Shane quickly left to avoid owing another favor, lest he had to repay


    itter.


    He thought that would be the end of it, but an hourter, Lauren suddenly called a department meeting,


    which he also attended.


    During the meeting, Lauren publicly announced, “Ourpany has issued a task. We need to


    negotiate a major project with Diamond Titan Military Technologies. If we seed, the person in


    charge can receive amission of 1 million, along with a job promotion and pay raise.”


    Whoa! The entire marketing department was thrilled. 1 million! Many workers might not be able to save


    that much. money in their lifetime!


    Of course, everyone wanted to try their luck. If they failed, so be it, but what if they seeded?


    Much to everyone’s surprise, the next moment, Lauren directly announced, “I’m nning to assign this


    task to Shane!


    “What?!”


    The entire room fell into silence, struck by astonishment. It was unanimously believed that a project of


    such significance could only be entrusted to individuals of Henry’s caliber or seasoned negotiators.


    Who could have anticipated that the higher authorities would assign it to a neer? This decision


    simply defied all logic!


    “Me?” Shane, too, was taken aback. Despite being prone to overthinking and indulging in daydreams,


    he had never
