NOVPUBChapter 964: Chapter 964: The Person Who Understands Lyke Zhekova the Most_1 Chapter 964: Chapter 964: The Person Who Understands Lyke Zhekova the Most_1 How could Wallace Martin not have an answer for her?
Hearing Mr.
Houston’s question, Wallace Martin chuckled, saying unhurriedly: “The CEO is not worried about you, but Jacob Zahn.”
“There is no problem with Realforce Corp.
per se, but the CEO really dislikes the way Jacob Zahn conducts business,” Wallace Martin said.
As for what those methods were, Wallace Martin didn’t elaborate, but Mr.
Houston should have an idea.
Isn’t it about Jacob Zahn trading himself for contracts?
...
Although Wallace Martin didn’t elaborate, Mr.
Houston understood immediately.
Instantly, he felt embarrassed.
Luckily, he was on the phone and Wallace Martin had not personally sought Mr.
Houston to face him directly.
At least that eased some of the embarrassment.
“Because the CEO suspects his character due to the shady means he uses to acquire partnerships.
How can we trust someone like that in future collaborations?
As you know, the CEO values the character of his business partners,” Wallace Martin said.
“So, there’s no problem with Realforce itself, and they are indeed responsible for our company’s partnership requirements.
The CEO is not intending to replace Realforce. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝔲𝔟.𝔠𝖔𝖒
But we need to change the people in-charge of this collaboration; it’s not intended to be handed over to Jacob Zahn,” Wallace Martin said.
“That’s why we asked you to take a short leave, to avoid Jacob Zahn turning to you when the change of personnel happens,” Wallace Martin said.
“At that time, it would invite unnecessary trouble.
If you don’t go on leave and you are no longer in-charge of this collaboration, can you refuse Jacob Zahn if he comes looking for you?” Wallace Martin laughed lightly.
Mr.
Houston was just about to say that he could do so.
But before he could speak, Wallace Martin said: “Even if you promise, the CEO wouldn’t trust you, so your assurances would be useless.”
“In my opinion, you’d do better to say nothing and cooperate fully.
As you know, the CEO prefers subordinates who can cooperate,” Wallace Martin said.
“In doing so, you’ll show a good attitude, you’d have agreed to cooperate without any opposition.
Once the cooperation with Realforce is settled, you can carry on as usual, without any impact,” Wallace Martin said.
Mr.
Houston seemed to understand Wallace Martin’s hint, and said: “Martin, you mean…
after cooperating well this time, the CEO won’t blame me?”
“I can’t make a full guarantee on that,” Wallace Martin gave a hint, but did not directly reply.
But Mr.
Houston felt that Wallace Martin had essentially made his stance clear.
He trusted Wallace Martin’s words.
After all, Wallace Martin truly was the person who understood Lyke Zhekova the most in the entire company.
Always by Lyke Zhekova’s side, Wallace Martin certainly knew what Lyke Zhekova was thinking.
“However, what I do know is that the CEO expects you to do nothing when Jacob Zahn comes looking for you on this matter since you are on forced leave.
Jacob Zahn can’t do anything through you anymore.
And he has no contacts with other people in the company.
He can’t interfere in this matter anymore,” Wallace Martin said.
“That way, you’ll also avoid being harassed by him.
And it will also prevent you from feeling torn due to your relationship with him, right?” This time, Wallace Martin simply revealed the relationship between Mr.
Houston and Jacob Zahn.
Mr.
Houston: “…”
“I understand.” Mr.
Houston’s voice sounded a bit weak.
He was feeling very upset.
He was on forced leave.
When this news broke out, even if people in the company didn’t know why he was on forced leave, they would know that he had done something wrong.
This penalty was quite severe in itself.
“Martin, after this incident, I’ll really be okay, right?” Mr.
Houston felt uneasy and suspecting something amiss, he confirmed once again.
But Martin simply said: ” Mr.
Houston, this is a penalty and it takes immediate effect.
You might as well leave the company now.
As for your forced leave, it will not be announced across the company.
It’s as if you’ve taken a leave, all the annual leaves you’ve accumulated, all are being granted now.”
Mr.
Houston finally took a sigh of relief.
Listening to Wallace Martin, he felt the company’s protection everywhere.
At least, they still cared about his face at the moment, they did not let this matter spread within the company, and they did not even send an internal email.
This meant that the company did not intend to make a big deal out of this.
They still wanted to protect him.
Mr.
Houston felt much more at ease.
He felt that he should be able to return to the company after the contract with Realforce was signed.
As for Jacob Zahn, Mr.
Houston thought coldly that he would no longer contact Jacob Zahn in the future.
Even though this matter wasn’t really related to Jacob Zhan.
Jacob Zahn did not act inappropriately.
But Mr.
Houston still felt that he was implicated by Jacob Zahn.
