Chapter 100


    It is a sunny afternoon. However, in the Greens corporate, it is stormy.


    Bryant returns to thepany with a gloomy face. He walks all the way back to the president’s office.


    He is so angry that every one quickly leaves the area that he’s in after greeting him.


    When he passes by the secretariat, a new secretary knocks over a pile of papers by mistakes. Bryant


    stops to stare at her and criticizes her. “What’s wrong with you?”


    The secretary suddenly turns back and is frightened by him. She is too scared to speak loudly,


    “I’m...I’m sorry...”


    “You’re not qualified. You’re fired!” Bryant is not happy to see anyone now.


    The little secretary is so afraid that she kneels down.


    The secretary general shakes her head. How poor this girl is to hit the gun at this moment.


    The project manager and the chief engineer behind Bryant take a look at each other. They are both


    upset, because they know the disaster wille to them next.


    They walks into the president’s office. The assistant hurriedly closes the door and leave them alone in


    the office.


    As soon as the door closed, Bryant shouts with anger, “what’s wrong exactly?”


    He sits on the chair and frowns. The anger in his eyes is like fire burning, as if he’s going to burn the


    two men aside.


    The manager and the chief engineer are also too frightened to say a word. For several times, the


    manager wants to speak, but he doesn’t actually say anything when he sees Bryant’s gloomy face.


    “peter, you tell me.” Bryant pokes the tender n with his power, as if he’s going to poke a hole in the


    tender.


    After they lose Dakings, Bryant changes the development n of thepany to rely on the new


    project of G.I. He thought at first that it was supposed to be aplete sess. But the result of the


    bidding this morning surprise him.


    Xpany gives a slightly higher price than them, so it gets the project sessfully.


    The project manager licks his dried-up lips and says, “Mr. Green, perhaps we are just not in a good


    luck this time.”


    Bryant is not satisfied with his conclusion. “Luck? So it’s because of luck that you get your present


    position? Does that mean I can fire you just because you’re unlucky?”


    He almost roars, which makes the chief engineer bows his head for fear.


    “No. Mr. Green, just think about it. Our offer is just a little bit less than Xpany’s. We’ve work so


    hard on this n to make sure every detail is perfect. I think...”


    Before the manager finishes, Bryant cuts it. “Then what do you think the reason we fail this time?”


    “We fail just because that little difference of the price. If we can lower it a little bit...” Bryant’s expression


    turns calmer and calmer as he says. The manager smiles and continues, “but we didn’t expected that X


    Bryant hums. He has calmed down a little. Then he feels something is wrong when he thinks about it


    again. He looks at the manager and the chief engineer, and his eyes be sharp. “Is there a mole in


    ourpany?”


    His tone is creepy. The engineer is surprised by his words. “Mr. Green, do you doubt that...”


    The manager says surely, “it’s impossible. The n must never be leaked.”


    “If not, why is the price and n given by Xpany so simr to ours? Bryant questions angrily.


    The engineer adds, “even the cost budget, quotations and service items are almost the same with ours.


    And those detailed ns like the shipping time are even more detailed than ours.”


    “Only the senior executives in ourpany know the detail of our n. They are all the mainstays of


    thispany, how would they betray us?” The manager says surely.


    “But if it’s not, why would the two ns so simr?” Bryant still has the strange feeling.


    For a moment, they all fall silent. Just then the secretary walks in nervously and whispers to Bryant.


    “Mr. Green, Mrs. Green is here.”


    Referring to Hilda, Bryant feel more tired. Before he gives the secretary instruction, Hilda has already


    came in. “I heard that we failed in the bidding?”


    She’s like sending a punitive expedition. The manager and the engineer greet her right away. “Good


    afternoon, Mrs. Green.”


    Bryant says to the others, “leave us alone.”


    The others nod and leave in a hurry.


    Hilda’s arrival is also a chance for them to escape the “battleground”.


    After they leave, Hilda asks, “what’s going on?” She heard the bad news when she is at home. So she


    hurries to thepany. She knows that thepany is focusing on the project. The failure of the bid is


    a top priority.


    Bryant sighs, “Xpany got the project.”


    “But you said that our proposal is almost perfect.” Hilda is confused. Bryant has been busy with this


    project n these days. Howe the result would be like this?


    “The proposal of Xpany is simr to ours, even more perfect than ours. Their offer is lower than


    ours. The profit is just right to beat us.” Bryant also didn’t expect this to happen.


    Hilda catches the key words. “Their proposal is simr to ours?”


    “Yes.” Bryant closes his eyes and raises his hands to his temple.


    “Then there must be a mole in thepany!” Hilda gets mad suddenly. “You should investigate it right


    away.”


    “I am also doubtful about that. But only a few senior management in charge of this project know the


    details. How would they betray thepany?”


    He can’t help thinking of the words of the manager. Those senior managers are all the mainstays of the


    “What are you thinking?” Hilda asks.


    “This matter isplicated.” Bryant frowns.


    Hilda is unhappy with his reaction. “Why didn’t you keep such an important paper well?”


    “How could you me on me?”


    “You’ve been running thepany for years. And thepany has been t. Even now, we are facing


    a continuous loss.”


    “Are you here to inquire about the situation or just to insult me?” Bryant gets mad at her.


    “Of course Ie to ask about it. But my dad asks us to go back tonight.” Hildains about him


    also because her fatheres to her.


    When ites to Jacob, Bryant is a little afraid. “Does your father know about this?”


    “It’s a huge lose. Of course he knew it.”


    Bryant suddenly gets so frustrated. He starts thinking something. Hilda says, “my dad owns 30 percent


    share of thepany. Now that there are so many trouble in thepany. As the major shareholder,


    naturally my dad wants you to give him an exnation.”


    But Bryant keeps silent. Hilda raises her volume and shouts, “Bryant, are you listen to me?”


    “Yes, I’m thinking.”


    Hilda looks at him unhappily. “My dad has came to me. Don’t me me that I didn’t remind you, if you


    still runs thepany like this, you can be the chairman for long!”


    “Shut up! Although your father is the major shareholder, all thepany’s affairs are dealt by me!


    Although the performance is not so good, what you earn is not less! We just lost a project. You’re so


    vulnerable to stand that?” Bryant looks at Hilda. She’s so impertinent that he starts to miss Susan.


    Hilda gets in a rage. She points at him. “Bryant, if it wasn’t because of me, how could you run such a


    bigpany? You think you can enjoy being rich just by your own ability?”


    Speaking of this, Bryant isck of confidence. He doesn’t want to keep arguing with her, so he just shut


    up.


    Hilda is satisfied to see him silent. “What? You have nothing to refute me?”


    “I have a meetingter. I don’t want to quarrel with you.”


    “Fine. I don’t want to quarrel, either.” Hilda looks at the watch. It’s almost three o’clock in the afternoon.


    She walks straight to the couch and opens the magazine casually.


    Bryant nces at her and frowns. He feels a sense of disgust for this woman.


    …


    The sunset lights up half of the sky. The streets are full of cars, which makes people annoying. After


    waiting for the sixth traffic light, Bryant’s car finally goes on the highway. Hilda keeps nagging all the


    way.


    Bryant tries his best to ignore her. He’s in a bad mood.


    Away from the city center, the view of the suburb is pretty. But he is not in the mood to appreciate it.


    Jacob Sanches is still scaring even he’s old now.


    Bryant doesn’t say anything all the way. Hilda knows what he is thinking about. She looks down upon


    him. “Bryant, are you really such a coward? You’ve seen my dad for so many times. What do you afraid


    of?”


    “Shut up. I’m thinking about something.” It’splex in Bryant’s heart. He needs to think how to deal


    with Jacobter.


    Hilda murmurs, “what a coward.”


    The car slowly drives into a magnificent garden. The main building in the center is magnificent and

    luxury.


    Bryant and Hilda walk to the door together. But they hear the noise inside from far away.


    Marvin Sanches, the oldest brother of Hilda,es downstairs from the second floor. He is wearing a


    suit with some flowers on it. He adjusts the bow with some white dots on it, and walks toward the door


    while singing.


    Vita sits on the sofa. Looking at her husband, she gets unhappy. “Which little goblin are you going to?”


    Marvin hums, “leave me alone. I can find whatever I like.”


    Her husbands’ words makes her angry. “Marvin, how shameless you are to hook up with other women


    at the age of 55. Our son learns that from you, so that he bes so useless.”
