Chapter 414 You''ve Been Fooled


    "Good morning, Mr. Harvey. Everyone in the hall stood up and called out respectfully in unison. Their


    voices were loud and clear."


    "Calvin did not look at them. His eyes were fixed on the ground. He casually waved his hand in the air,


    indicating to them to sit down. Then, he led Aron forward withrge strides."


    "He''s so handsome. Belle cheered for him in her heart. She tilted her head and appreciated the tall and


    graceful temperament Calvin showed. Hismanding demeanour was not something that could be


    built within a short period. It came from years of confidence, training, and a rich environment."


    "Calvin grew up privileged and had been trained to be a leader, which helped him achieve his current


    aplishments."


    "She stood there absent-mindedly. They were married. Although they loved each other, she sometimes


    still felt like it was a dream."


    "As he walked over with calm and confidence, she didn''t dare show her affection or even talk to him in


    public, as they were still working. She only ended up standing still and admiring him."


    "Belle''s grandfather was once Brooklyn''s trusted subordinate, and he returned to A City, along with the


    Harvey family. However, as a result of him meeting an untimely death, and her father being too


    straightforward and upright, their family didn''t do well in the political arena. Her eldest uncle, Albert


    Morris, was also a good-for-nothing."


    "Although she could be regarded as the descendant of a prestigious family, the affairs of the world were


    unpredictable. Now, she was only considered ady living in genteel poverty."


    "While she was still lost in her thoughts, Calvin had already walked up to her side. He noticed Belle,


    who was standing aside in a daze."


    "Greetings, Ms. Morris. Aron greeted her respectfully when he saw her."


    Only then did Bellee back to her senses and looked at Calvin in a panic.


    "Their eyes met. In just a split second, Belle withdrew her gaze and pursed her lips as she swiftly


    walked towards the elevator."


    Calvin frowned.


    "D*mn woman, why did she pretend not to see him? What did that mean?"


    "With that thought in mind, he went to the sales department."


    "Belle frantically returned to the office. She sat in front of theputer, sorted out some information,


    joined a video conference, and then the morning had passed."


    "At noon, Calvin brought her to Grand Hyatt Apartments as usual."


    "Calvin, I have something to tell you. After the meal, Belle sat on the sofa and began to speak


    seriously, after contemting for some time."


    What is it? Calvin sat down and picked up the newspaper beside the couch.


    "Do you remember the incident where the brakes had been recalled? She asked with some strain,


    sitting up firmly."


    "An icy light shed across Calvin''s eyes. The economic loss caused by the defective brakes were


    secondary but the reputation of thepany was severely affected. Calvin wanted to further inquire


    about it for a long time, but with Belleing to work in thepany these days, he was in a good


    mood. Hence, he had forgotten all about it. Now that he heard her question, he immediately recalled it


    again."


    "Yes, I''ve ordered Mr. Parker to investigate, he replied gently, lifting his head."


    Have you found out the reason? Belle probed.


    "This... Calvin was at a loss for words. He had forgotten to ask. ""Oh, he hasn''t replied yet."""


    He answered evasively.


    "There was a hint of sarcasm in Belle''s eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up."


    "What''s wrong? Is there any problem? Calvin knew that there must be something wrong, since she


    asked. Perhaps it was more than just a few problems. After all, she was adept when ites to


    automobiles."


    I consulted Mr. Levin today. The reason for it was that one of the parts had been bought from an


    external vendor and the quality was poor. Belle gave a detailed ount of what she knew.


    Oh. Calvin nodded thoughtfully.


    Was the person in charge of the purchasing department arranged by you? Belle asked with a heavy


    heart.


    "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with the person from the purchasing department, or that


    he might have tampered with it? Calvin asked in return."


    "I''m not merely suspecting him. I''m certain it''s him. Belle refuted without mercy. ""After the conversation


    with Mr. Levin, I learned that Castle Peak Auto City used to purchase quality parts from a trustworthy


    manufacturer. Now, it has been reced with an unknown brand. Not only is it not well-received, but its


    quality is also far worse. I wonder if you have agreed to the changing of brands?"""


    "Calvin put the newspapers down and raised his head, pondering."


    "He remembered that in one of the meetings, the purchasing department had once suggested that it


    would be much cheaper to change the brand of the parts. At that time, he did not think it would have


    led to this consequence and only agreed to it."


    He was lost in thought.


    "I did agree, but I didn''t foresee this oue, nor did I think of recing the parts. This matter needs a


    thorough investigation. After a long time had passed, he spoke with a hint of anger in his voice."


    How do you feel? Do you think you''ve been fooled? Belle looked at him and asked teasingly. The


    smugness in her cold voice was evident.


    Are you making fun of me? Calvin sounded vaguely annoyed. He did feel like he had been fooled.


    Of course I''m going to ridicule you. You''re the one who practices nepotism. Belle chided unrelentingly.


    "What do you mean? Calvin straightened his body, with anger emerging on his face."


    "Let me ask you, is Kirston, the purchasing manager, Paige''s rtive? The smile on Belle''s face faded


    as she said, ""You have to know that he is in charge of purchases all this while. As far as I know, he


    has received quite an amount of rebate from the brand''s distributor. I think that you know this."""


    The light in Calvin''s eyes grew more chilling.


    "He had to admit that he did not trust others when it came to purchasing. That was why the Harvey


    Group had always relied on their rtives, while Kirston was Paige''s cousin. Kirston had worked in


    Harvey Group for almost all of his life. This lucrative job naturally fell into hisp."


    "It seemed like he had to change his outlook on nepotism. He used to feel that it was also inappropriate


    but let it slide, as he could not find a proper reason to reduce the practice. However, now that he had a


    reason, he could punish Kirston openly."


    "I''ll leave this to you. You can do whatever you want. After thinking for a while, he said solemnly as if he


    had made up his mind."


    "Really? Are you sure? Belle repeatedly asked. She knew that Kirston was rted to Paige. If she


    punished him, he would definitelyin to Paige and their rtionship might be affected. She first


    thought about this problem, whether Paige would have any opinions against her was secondary."


    "Yes, I''m sure. It''s only right to receive punishment for making mistakes. There''s nothing wrong with


    that. Calvin shrugged indifferently. ""Just do it. I''ll support you and Mother won''t me you. Believe


    me."""


    He looked at her with his bright eyes and encouraged her with a smile. Belle felt more confident.


    "Well, let''s take a rest first. She stood up and walked towards the bedroom."


    "Belle, wait a minute. Calvin stopped her and asked in a grave manner, ""Are you preparing to set up


    an online marketing studio?"""


    "Yes. Belle turned back and smiled. ""You won''t criticize me for not informing you, right? You have said


    that I can make my own decisions."""


    "For fear that he might feel that she was acting rashly on her own, she took the initiative to bring this


    out and block his criticism beforehand."


    "Of course not. Calvin shook his head, but his expression did not rx. ""This is a good idea, but the


    globalwork isplicated, and it is vulnerable to hackers."""


    "Calvin''s worry was reasonable. Harvey Group''s performance was currently still underwhelming when it


    came toworking, and could not manage to keep up with thetest advancement. They were indeed


    facing the needs for a transformation, but it was not something that could happen overnight. In order to


    solve this problem, he went to colleges and recruited outstanding students, sending some of them to


    study abroad. They would return to work for Harvey Group soon. He did not expect Belle to act so


    quickly."


    "Of course, there will be risks. There are risks in everything you do, but you can''t just give up because


    of that. Belle didn''t know that he had been training and honing the skills ofputer-savvy talents. So,


    she voiced out her own ideas."


    "We need to act, but it''s best not to be hasty. Calvin nodded."


    "But, Calvin, Sky Sword Group has done a sessful job regarding this aspect in the market. If we


    continue to dy and postpone everything, I am afraid that it will be toote then, Belle


    exined, turning around to sit beside him."


    "Calvin reached out to hold her in his arms and muttered, "" Since you''ve started, then let''s continue.


    It''s just that we will need to hire skilled IT personnel. The talents I''ve sent for training will return in two


    months. There won''t be a dy. How''s that?"""


    "He rubbed her Tristanobe and made a suggestion. In fact, he did not agree with her brisk actions."


    "However, in order not to dispel her eagerness, he decided topromise. Since this enormous


    system would not be used in such a short time, he should let her have a try. If it didn''t work, she would


    stop. If it worked, the transformation could start ahead of time."


    "Alright, thank you for believing in me. Belle smiled happily. She understood Calvin''s n. ording to


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    his tone, he had thought about the ws in this aspect and was also trying to improve it."


    "Since that was the case, it could be understood that they shared the same n."


    "The next day, Mr. Parker escorted Kirston to Belle. She immediately held a meeting with the heads of


    the departments in charge of automobile production. With plenty of evidence, Kirston had no choice but


    to confess his misdeeds."


    "ording to Harvey Group''s rules, Belle dismissed Kirston''s position as the purchasing manager and


    demoted him to a lower position in thepany."


    "A new purchasing manager was appointed and it achieved a good effect. Gradually, most departments


    stopped showing favoritism to members of the Harvey family. The productivity of the internal


    management of the Harvey Group was improved. Calvin was also delighted and approved of these


    changes in thepany''s operations."
