_1 It would only jeopardize his own position or his interests, and that’s not worth it at all.
So, the fact that Wallace Martin worries that Mr.
Houston is targeting him is purely his own overreaction.
Having been reminded by Lyke Zhekova, Wallace Martin continued, “I’ve looked into the business that Mr.
Houston has previously dealt with.
...
Every time, she has been taking benefits from every business and then eventually chooses the most suitable company to cooperate with us.”
“So, although she takes benefits, it doesn’t affect the company’s cooperative interest,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“Exactly, she takes the benefits anyway but she still chooses based on the company’s strength,” said Wallace Martin.
“The chosen company also gave her benefits, they thought they were chosen just because they gave her benefits.”
“Companies that weren’t chosen either think they didn’t offer enough, or although they think Mr.
Houston is greedy and don’t keep her word, they wouldn’t dare to offend her because she is Vice President of Majestic.”
“Because they still hope for future cooperation.
It would not be worth it if they annoyed Mr.
Houston, and then even lose the slightest chance for cooperation in the future,” Wallace Martin said.
“So even if Mr.
Houston isn’t quite ethical, nobody dares to challenge her, let alone expose her,” Wallace Martin said.
“As for some companies that have physical transactions, we haven’t found anything inappropriate either,” Wallace Martin said.
In this regard, Mr.
Houston is really smart.
Being the Vice President of Majestic for many years without running into any problems shows that she has her own way of doing things.
“Huh!” Lyke Zhekova scoffed, “So, if we try to find her, could she use the excuse that it was her private life and it doesn’t affect her work?
If we confront her about accepting gifts, do you believe that she would say it’s just private exchanges between friends?”
Without a second thought, Wallace Martin nods: “I believe, I do!”
How could he not believe what Lyke Zhekova said?
Lyke Zhekova had never been wrong.
“What should we do now?” asked Wallace Martin.
“Is there any problem with Sharp?” asked Lyke Zhekova again.
“Sharp is fine,” Wallace Martin said, “I’ve looked at the other competing companies for this time, even without Jacob Zahn or Mr.
Houston, Sharp has a strong competitive edge.
If it were up to me, I would choose Sharp.”
Lyke Zhekova nodded his head.
It’s no wonder it’s the company where Peggy Lewis works.
Peggy Lewis’s judgment is credible.
“So, we’ll still choose Sharp for the collaboration.
It’s not appropriate to change the company now, but we won’t let Mr.
Houston take charge of it,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“You’ll handle this yourself,” Lyke Zhekova squints, “Since Mr.
Houston has these questionable private affairs, it’s not certain whether CEO Wu has the same.
Look into CEO Wu as well, keep Mr.
Houston’s situation under control for now, or it may alert her.”
“Yes,” Wallace Martin nods.
“On Sharp’s side, you tell them to replace Jacob Zahn.
Don’t let him talk,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“If they asked why, how should we explain it?
After all, we cannot let Mr.
Houston get suspicious,” Wallace Martin said.
“Tell Mr.
Houston to take a break and suspend her current work.
Don’t tell her about your previous investigation.
If she asks why she has to take a vacation, tell her only about her things with Jacob Zahn, this should be enough for her to stop asking further, and just go on vacation.”
“Jacob Zahn’s matter isn’t something to be proud of, she probably won’t want to tell CEO Wu, but we can’t be too sure,” Lyke Zhekova said.
“However, I think CEO Wu probably isn’t as naive as Mr. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
Houston.
CEO Wu does have some brains.
Some things, even if he does them, he wouldn’t do them as recklessly as Mr.
Houston,” Lyke Zhekova said.
As long as it’s not too much, Lyke Zhekova doesn’t intend to make things difficult.
After all, it’s not easy to be in the position of CEO.
CEO Wu really has capability, or he wouldn’t have become the CEO.
If we fire CEO Wu just because of a little thing, it would be difficult to find a suitable replacement.
In terms of competency, CEO Wu is indeed competent.
What’s important is that he has good judgment.
So, Adrian Zhekova said, “In any case, even if Mr.
Houston tips off CEO Wu, we do not care.”
“Consider it a wake-up call for CEO Wu.
If he has nothing to hide, he naturally has nothing to worry about.
If he does have something, it will serve him as a warning” Lyke Zhekova said.
“Yes,” Wallace Martin nodded.
“The rest, you handle it as you see fit,” Lyke Zhekova said, “you know the stakes.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and sort it out now,” Wallace Martin said.
There is so much to be done as an assistant to Lyke Zhekova.
No wonder not just anyone can be his executive assistant.
Even the board and CEO Wu couldn’t really do anything to him in the company, solely relying on his competence!
Wallace Martin lamented privately that keeping this position is certainly not easy.
“Wait.” Lyke Zhekova said again.
Wallace Martin looked at Lyke Zhekova, waiting for his instruction.
“Tell Sharp that they’re replacing Jacob Zahn and he won’t be negotiating the deal.
When Sharp chooses someone else, tell me first, and then I’ll decide whether to continue the negotiations,” Lyke Zhekova said.
Wallace Martin stood silent in front of Lyke Zhekova’s desk, hesitating to leave.
Lyke Zhekova raised his eyebrows, “There’s nothing more, why aren’t you leaving to sort things out?”
Surprisingly, even after Lyke Zhekova said that, Wallace Martin still remained unmoved.
Lyke Zhekova, “…”
“What else?” Lyke Zhekova asked.
Wallace Martin took a step forward and lowered his voice, “Why not just tell me plainly, who do you want from Sharp to take charge?”
Lyke Zhekova, silently looking at him.
“Even when you withheld the contract earlier, besides thinking that there was something strange about Mr.
Houston, the other reason was also that Jacob Zahn wasn’t the person you had in mind to handle Sharp’s business, right?” Wallace Martin asked in a lower voice.
As Lyke Zhekova’s assistant, one must certainly possess one function, which is to be smart.
From Lyke Zhekova’s behaviors and words, Wallace Martin bravely grasped the truth.
Lyke Zhekova, once again falling silent.
“Why don’t you just tell me?
I’ll then personally make sure that the person you have in mind takes charge,” Wallace Martin said.
“Cut them some slack and stop dragging this on, Sharp must be feeling anxious too,” Wallace Martin said.
It’s a good deed to give the company a clear answer!
Wallace Martin thought he was so kind.
How could he be so kind!
He didn’t even know anyone from Sharp, yet he was already considering it for Sharp.
