NOVPUBChapter 972: Chapter 972: Really Strange_1 Chapter 972: Chapter 972: Really Strange_1 Manager Thompson then said, “Due to Mr.
Houston’s job change at Majestic, the company has decided to assign you to negotiate the cooperation with them.”
Peggy Lewis immediately found it strange.
What does Mr.
Houston’s job change at Majestic have to do with their company?
Why would they replace Jacob Zahn if Mr.
Houston had a change?
Could it be that Jacob Zahn and Mr.
...
Houston!
Peggy Lewis decided to ask directly, “What about Jacob Zahn’s side…”
“Due to his way of negotiation…
in general, he and Mr.
Houston are both unsuitable to continue with this cooperation project.” Manager Thompson didn’t mention Jacob Zahn’s situation.
“Therefore, the company has decided to find a responsible senior employee who can be steadfast in the company and will not just quit, causing a change in the cooperation.
That’s when I thought of you.” Manager Thompson said.
“And also, once this cooperation is secured, you would be pegged to take over my position, creating more stability in the company.
So, after considering everything, you’re the best person for this.” Manager Thompson said.
“What do you think, Peggy?” asked Manager Thompson.
Peggy Lewis hesitated. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Manager Thompson said, “I know what you’re concerned about.
You suddenly taking over Jacob Zahn’s work must have led to some gossip in the company.
Jacob Zahn may also be dissatisfied.”
“However, at least you don’t have to worry about Jacob Zahn.
I will take care of him.
If I talk to him, he definitely won’t say anything anymore.” Manager Thompson said.
“As for the others in the company…” After giving it some thought, Manager Thompson said, “The colleagues in our department understand you well, they know you’re not the type to take someone else’s job.
Thus, most of our department colleagues certainly won’t say anything about you.”
“I also know Jacob Zahn has one or two good friends, but those few people, they can hardly do anything.” Manager Thompson said.
“As for the colleagues in other departments, they don’t understand.
If they really say something excessive, I can step in and have the company issue a statement to clear things up for you.”
“Of course, this doesn’t guarantee that there won’t be some idle chatter.” Manager Thompson said.
There would probably still be people spreading rumors about Peggy Lewis having some complicated relationship with the company.
No matter what, there will always be people spreading rumors.
Not only in the workplace.
As long as you’re involved in society, you will encounter it.
You will see it in school, among your neighbors, in the workplace.
Wherever there is a community, you will see it.
Therefore, even if Manager Thompson is on Peggy Lewis’s side, as long as she can help, or can handle, she will always be willing to do so.
But she can’t guarantee a completely harmonious environment within the company.
“Please take some time to consider this matter,” Manager Thompson said to Peggy Lewis, glancing at Wallace Martin.
There were some things she would like to discuss privately with Peggy Lewis.
With Wallace Martin there, it was a bit awkward.
But Manager Thompson always felt that Wallace Martin seemed to want an answer today, now.
And with Wallace Martin present, it was not good for Manager Thompson to directly ask him to leave.
Manager Thompson knew this matter could not be dragged out any longer.
CEO Evans also didn’t allow it to be delayed.
Whoever is going to be responsible for this cooperation must be decided today.
To let Wallace Martin know the plan.
And then quickly contact Wallace Martin to establish cooperation.
Wallace Martin’s ability to watch and observe is not fake.
Wallace Martin gave Manager Thompson a slight smile and said, “Manager Thompson, you seem to want to have a one-on-one conversation with Miss Lewis, right?”
“I’ll excuse myself first and come back in after you’ve finished.” Wallace Martin said.
“Indeed, I do want to have a one-on-one conversation with Peggy,” Manager Thompson said when she saw Wallace Martin volunteering to leave, she simply admitted directly.
“But having you wait here like this, it’s not very good.” Manager Thompson said.
“It’s alright, I happen to want to familiarize myself with the department inside.” Wallace Martin said.
Manager Thompson: “…”
This isn’t Majestic, what are you familiarizing yourself with our Sharp Power department for?
Even though the capabilities of Sharp Power and Majestic are vastly different.
There’s nothing at Sharp Power that Majestic would need to probe.
Because it simply isn’t competition for Majestic.
If Majestic really wanted to do something to Sharp Power, they wouldn’t need to probe, they could just do it directly.
But letting Wallace Martin run around their department, Manager Thompson always felt uneasy.
She thought to herself, is this cooperation matter so urgent?
Does an answer really need to be given today?
Won’t tomorrow work?
She was starting to want to get rid of Wallace Martin.
Even Peggy Lewis found it strange.
She also noticed that Wallace Martin was waiting around for an answer.
Why so urgent?
Moreover, this cooperation is a big deal for Sharp Power, but for Majestic, it’s just a minor collaboration.
Does it really require Wallace Martin to come personally?
And pay such close attention too.
It was very strange.
Seeing Wallace Martin acting as if he didn’t understand her hint, Manager Thompson gave up.
Wallace Martin, a clever man, how could he not understand her hint?
He was clearly pretending not to understand.
So Manager Thompson stopped talking and walked straight out of the office to call for Clara Evans.
“This is Mr.
Martin, the executive assistant of Majestic’s CEO.” Manager Thompson, said.
Clara Evans was very surprised and instinctively looked at Peggy Lewis in the office.
No wonder she found Wallace Martin familiar.
Turns out he was Lyke Zhekova’s assistant.
He’s been following Lyke Zhekova all the time.
Whenever Lyke Zhekova appeared on camera, Wallace Martin was usually there as well.
No wonder she felt like she saw him somewhere before.
But, Wallace Martin coming here and Manager Thompson calling Peggy Lewis to the office, could there have been issues with the previous cooperation?
Was the collaboration that Jacob Zahn had agreed to suddenly suspended because of something Peggy Lewis did in the middle?
No.
Clara Evans shook her head, Peggy Lewis isn’t the kind to play stealthy tricks.
Or perhaps, were there any issues with the cooperation Jacob Zahn agreed to?
And they now want Peggy Lewis to take over?
There are too many possibilities.
Clara Evans’s mind was a bit messy.
Manager Thompson and Wallace Martin in front of her would obviously not give her any answers.
Peggy Lewis was in the office and couldn’t ask, so she would have to wait until the lunch break to ask Peggy Lewis.
“For now, please take Mr.
Martin to get acquainted with the company.” Manager Thompson didn’t specify the department, so as to prevent Wallace Martin from thoroughly studying their Business Department.
“Our company will be cooperating with Majestic soon.
So, lead Mr.
Martin to familiarize himself with our company’s situation.
Regarding our company’s products, you can also take Mr.
Martin to sample some ” Manager Thompson said.
With a few words, she managed to get Wallace Martin out of the Business Department.
Wallace Martin remained smiling, thinking that Manager Thompson was indeed a smart person.
