Chapter 1499 New Product On The Market


    The more Darren heard the voice, the angrier he became, to the point that he stood up and took a look


    at the seat behind Bonnie. With just one nce, he clenched his teeth.


    Sure enough, the voice just now hade from his enemy, Jacob.


    As for the young man Jacob was with, Darren could not believe his eyes. He felt his blood boil in a


    mixture of rage and frustration.


    Looking at the young man with sses and a smile on his face, Darren felt extremely annoyed and


    disappointed.


    The young man was the one in charge of the research and development department at KING Group.


    Darren remembered promoting him personally not that long ago. As the head of the department, that


    young man had mastered the core technology of thepany. If he truly nned to ept the HT


    Group''s offer of a higher sry, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Thinking of this, Darren ignored Bonnie and walked toward Jacob and the young man who were still


    talking.


    "I''m just a job seeker, and sry is really important to me. With that being said, I''m grateful for what


    Darren has offered me. Darren has helped me a lot, and I want to be loyal to him. I''m sorry, Mr. Gu. I''m


    afraid I can''t ept your job offer."


    Upon hearing this, Jacob showed a little impatience on his face. He forced a smile and said earnestly,


    "It''s important to know who your benefactor is, but people naturally seek better working environments


    and they take the opportunity as soon as it presents itself. If you want, you can demand a figure for


    your sry. As long as I can afford it..."


    "It''s not about the sry," the young man said with a polite smile, his face turning red.


    "Mr. Gu, you are indeed a shrewd businessman. You are so shameless. Can''t you understand that he


    has already refused your offer? You are now forcing him," interrupted Darren with a triumphant smirk.


    He walked directly to the young man, patted him on the shoulder with a satisfied grin, and mockingly


    stared at Jacob.


    To be honest, he had not expected that the young man would be able to resist Jacob''s offer.


    "Mr. Xu." The young man raised his head and acknowledged Darren with respect. His face turned paler


    as he met Darren''s knowing gaze. He stood up from his seat and bowed to Darren uneasily.


    He had nned to deal with Jacob in private, but his boss had discovered them. Things were quite


    awkward now. He did not know how much Darren had heard. ''What if he thinks that I am going to quit?


    All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    If Darren grows suspicious of me, I won''t be able to set foot into KING Group ever again, '' he thought to


    himself. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead as he quickly exined himself.


    "Mr. Xu, I wasn''t about to quit my job." He earnestly looked Darren in the eyes and tried to prove his


    loyalty to him.


    Darren shed him a reassuring smile and said, "I heard everything, including Mr. Gu''s offer and your


    answer. Don''t worry about it. As for Mr. Gu''s offer, I can assure you that the KING Group can also give


    you the same."


    Jacob was still sitting there, legs crossed and not embarrassed at all. However, when he heard what


    Darren said about the offer, his expression hardened with surprise and disappointment.


    He was indeed a little let down. Just now, the offer of a higher sry had already made the young man


    hesitate. He had thought that maybe he could sessfully convince him to work for the HT Group with


    an even higher offer. But now that Darren had shown up and said those words, it was impossible for


    him to poach this young man.


    Seeing that the young man cast him a grateful look, Darren sneered at Jacob. "Why are you trying to


    poach my employees? Is HT Group going down or something? I didn''t expect to see you sneaking


    around head-hunting other people''s employees, Mr. Gu."


    Jacob smirked. He looked at the young man and nodded slightly. "Well, I actually gained something


    from this meeting with you."


    "If you''re going to head-hunt, make sure your offers are ridiculously attractive. My employees can''t be


    easily swayed. I''m afraid we''re going to let you down this time." Darren''s face lookedcent, but a


    trace of contempt for Jacob was obvious.


    "It seems that you''re very proud this time. However, things won''t always work your way. I''m afraid that


    when the new products of the HT Group are released, you won''t even have the time to wipe your


    tears." Jacob took a sip of his tea and smiled lightly.


    Although the expression on Darren''s and Jacob''s faces were normal, their tones were not friendly at all.


    Many heads turned to their direction as if shots had been fired inside the premises.


    The atmosphere slowly grew so intense that the young man stepped back a little. He did not want to be


    caught in the middle of a fight. He would rather be a quiet onlooker in the corner.


    Seeing that the situation was getting more and more tense, Bonnie stopped waiting. She walked to


    Darren and quickly reached out to grab his clenched hand.


    Feeling the warmth of Bonnie''s soft hand, Darren gradually calmed down. But when he saw that Jacob


    was staring at Bonnie, he was agitated again. His eyes narrowed, and he started taking shallow


    breaths.


    "If I were you, Mr. Gu, I''d be careful where I look." Darren said this while swiftly pulling Bonnie behind


    him. He stood protectively in front of her, hiding her from Jacob''s line of sight.


    When Jacob saw Bonnie, he focused all his attention on her until Darren snapped at him. He gathered


    his thoughts and tried to recall where he had seen this woman before.


    He remembered seeing the woman''s photo on Darren''s file when he had investigated Darren a long


    time ago. But after she was taken away by Darren, she seemed to have disappeared from the world


    and no one had ever seen her again.


    Jacob looked at Darren and Bonnie, and then chuckled as if he had remembered something


    interesting.


    Judging from Darren''s reaction, Jacob thought that the rtionship between the two of them was


    unusual.


    "You better mind your own business, Mr. Gu. I don''t want to see the HT Group copse so soon. If I


    lose mypetitor soon, I will be very disappointed."


    Shooting Jacob onest look, Darren left with Bonnie. "Hey, it''s time for you to leave, too."


    The young man smiled politely at Jacob and followed Darren suit.


    Upon Jacob''s return to the office, Sam greeted him with huge expectations.


    When he saw Jacob''s figure, his eyes lit up. He hurried over and asked, "Mr. Gu, has the KING Group''s


    Director of Research and Development agreed to work for us?"


    Without a pause, Jacob walked straight to his office. His shoulders seemed slumped, but his face was


    cold and determined. After Sam closed the door behind them, he waved his hand and sighed, "I''m


    going to use the alternate n."


    Hearing this, Sam was a little surprised. "It didn''t work? Howe?"


    Jacob ignored his questions and said, "Execute the alternate n. Arrange it now. Remember to check


    it carefully. Don''t give Darren and hispany any chance this time."


    It was impossible for the HT Group to hide its movements from Darren, but Jacob did not care whether


    or not Darren discovered their ns and the tricks they would useter.


    Darren may have a n for him, but he had also set up a trap for Darren.


    Thinking of his feasible trap, Jacob shed a satisfied smile.


    When this n seeded, it would cause enough damage to Darren and his business empire.


    Seeing that Jacob had no other orders, Sam nodded and immediately arranged the alternate n.


    Time flew. With the efforts of all the employees of the HT Group, the new snacks were finallyunched


    and distributed into the market.


    On that day, at 9 o''clock, everyone was eagerly waiting for the market feedback.


    While everyone was anxious, Jacob was still busy with his work. He looked peaceful and confident, as


    if he already knew the result. The result seemed to be certain for him.


    In Jacob''s view, it was better to finish the work as soon as possible and go home to apany his


    family than worry about the sales figures.


    "How is that possible? Are you sure?" "What happened? What is going on?" "I haven''t seen anything


    yet. Is it out already?"


    "You came back empty-handed. Did you get a picture of the new HT snacks? Show us some photos if


    you have any."


    "I know it''s cheap, but it''s not free. How can it sell out so quickly? People must be crazy!"


    While the discussion was going on fiercely on the inte, a figure appeared in Jacob''s office like a puff


    of smoke.
