Chapter 289 The Bird Is Scheming


    Chapter 289 The Bird Is Scheming


    Everything was fine on the farm. Nancy sat on a stool and fed the creatures. Then she took the


    book and started reading again.


    "Today I''ll read you the story of the ugly duckling..."


    The little creatures were sitting obediently on the futon in front of Nancy, holding their heads high


    and listening to Nancy carefully. Gage also nested in its den, which was a little small for it now.


    Nancy decided to make a big one for it.


    She also remembered the story of the ugly duckling. She closed the book with her hands on her


    chin and told the story herself.


    "Once upon a time, a mother chicken carefully incubated her babies, and after a long time, the eggs


    hatched. The chicks were fluffy and yellow, with particrly bright and beautiful feathers."


    "But one of them looked different from the other chicks. Its puffy feathers were gray. Its little beak


    was t. Its body wasrger than the other babies, and it didn''t fit in with these chicks at all. Other


    chicks bullied it."


    Nancy told the story seriously, and the little things listened to her carefully. Hill and the working staff


    who passed by the farm felt warm when they saw the scene.


    Their young boss was so cute!


    Hill took out his cell phone to take a picture of this scene. And then he sent the photo to Marcus.


    Marcus was in a meeting at this time. He had gone to find Nancy in a hurry, so many things had not


    yet been dealt with. Besides, he hadn''te to work for a few days, so there were some problems


    with thepany.


    "Mr. Brook, because you canceled several meetings at thest moment, our partner lost 80 million


    dors on the project. They asked you to give them an ount."


    At the meeting, the head of the project looked a bit angry, and the partner was taking advantage of


    the matter.


    They just wanted to use this excuse to profit more from the project.


    Marcus looked calm and asked, "Is there anything else?"


    "Mr. Brook, the game development department..."


    At this time, there was a noise outside the meeting room. A young man with red hair barked in. He


    was wearing gold chains on his neck and all kinds of rings on his fingers, as if to show off how rich


    he was.


    "Mr. Smith, you can''t go in!"


    A few security guards were unable to stop the man. When he entered the meeting room, he swept


    around the people present and then looked boldly at Marcus, who was sitting in the main seat.


    "Mr. Brook, you are finally back, we lost 80 million dors on the project we worked with you. You


    have to give us an ount for your unexined departure. This is not a matter of losing just a few


    bucks or tens of bucks."


    Marcus nced at the young man coldly, and thetter, who was smug, was a bit scared by the cold


    look.


    "What are you looking at me like that for? I was just telling the truth. We are partners. It''s your fault


    that you left without making any follow-up arrangements. There''s nothing wrong with meing to


    ask for an ount. The Smith family doesn''t want much. Just give us 3% more of the profits!"


    The people in the meeting suddenly looked gloomy. They didn''t know why the Smith family let such


    a naive man be in charge of the project. He knew nothing but kept lecturing. Now he dared to be so


    arrogant in front of so many people.


    How dare he ask for 3% more of the profits? The Smith family were so humble when they begged to


    join the project, but now, they were bing so cocky.


    Marcus ordered coldly, "Drive him out."


    Philip walked past Marcus and said coldly to the young man, "Mr. Smith, please leave the meeting


    room."


    The young man was immediately angry, "What''s wrong with you guys? Is this how you treat your


    guest? I''m the son of your partner. If you dare to kick me out, I''ll tell my father to pull out of the


    investment!"


    The stupid man had taken himself too seriously.


    Philip waved his hands, and immediately, a bodyguard came up and took the yelling Mr. Smith out


    forcibly.


    Philip looked at the security guards and said, "Go and get your punishment."


    "Yes."


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    The guards bowed their heads in shame.


    Then Philip returned to Marcus.


    "We don''t need partners like the Smith family for the project," said Marcus.s


    The project manager nodded at once, but then he looked embarrassed. "But what about the


    investment?"


    Marcus said coldly, "I''ll pay for it."


    The crowd was relieved, and they sneered at the young man.


    The young man must be out of mind if he wanted to go against Marcus in terms of wealth.


    The meeting continued, and Marcus sat straight throughout. His stern aura made the crowd have a


    sense of oppression, and the people present were more dedicated when reporting on their work.


    Marcus''s phone vibrated, but he ignored it. Seeing that it was a message from Hill, Marcus checked


    it.


    Hill had been assigned to stay with Nancy, so he would only send Marcus messages about Nancy.


    Then Marcus saw that picture. His tightly pursed lips slightly tilted upward. Even Marcus himself


    didn''t notice that his cold aura was less terrible.


    The people present were also aware of it, and they immediately reported on their work in high


    spirits.


    While Marcus was in a good mood, he wouldn''t be so harsh even if they made some mistakes.


    Everyone had already known what had happened. Only one person could make Marcus smile and


    lighten his mood, and that was Nancy.


    They missed Nancy so much.


    Mr. Smith, who was expelled from thepany, cursed, "What a stupidpany? Don''t they have


    any rules? I thought their president was powerful. But I still got him. He must have been so


    shameful and angry that he drove me out. When I get 3% more of the profits, the old man must look


    at me with new eyes!"


    Mr. Smith was still daydreaming, not knowing that he had gotten his father in trouble.


    Soon after he was kicked out of thepany, his father called him.


    Mr. Smith happily picked up the phone and called out to his dad. However, what greeted him was


    his father''s rant.


    "What have you done? Get your ass back!"


    Mr. Smith was so angry. He had just received the news that Marcus had canceled the cooperation


    with the Smith family on the project of the game city. He asked what was going on and learned that


    his son did something stupid to anger Marcus. At that moment, he really wanted to strangle his son.


    The Smith family got good luck and became rich for working in the right realm, so they were kind of


    an upstart. It had taken them great efforts to strive to cooperate with Marcus, so Mr. Smith had


    always been cautious. But look what his son had done!


    Mr. Smith regretted that he had let his son take charge of the project.


    His wife had been bragging about how excellent and able her son was and suggested that he


    should be given a chance to practice. Mr. Smith believed his wife. After all, he was always busy and


    knew little about his son. Besides, he knew that his son did well in academic performance and


    graduated from a well-known university.


    Thinking that his son would be the heir of the Smith family, Mr. Smith agreed to let his son take


    charge of the project. But Mr. Smith didn''t expect that his son would cause him such trouble.
