“Mr.
Martin, our company has a specialized new product development department, where not only new products are developed, but even the ones already on the market.
They are all ranked according to the degree of consumer preference.
You can try those products,” Manager Thompson said.
“I am confident that after tasting them, you will not be disappointed with our cutting-edge products.
After all, our products are designed to grace the dining tables of Majestic.
...
We will prove to you that our products will not drag Majestic down,” Manager Thompson said with a smile.
“Of course, rest assured, the products from the development department are the freshest in terms of production date.
You can taste them with confidence,” Manager Thompson joked.
“No wonder you are the manager of the Business Department and about to be promoted,” Wallace Martin praised,” After hearing a few words from Manager Thompson, I am already very interested.
Manager Thompson knows how to promote the company’s products very well.”
Manager Thompson just smiled and thanked Wallace Martin for his praise.
Clara Evans swallowed her nervousness and surprise, and quickly said to Wallace Martin, “Mr.
Martin, please follow me.
I’ll show you.”
“Okay.” Wallace Martin nodded.
Clara Evans remained silent, not intending to pry any information from Wallace Martin.
Just joking.
What kind of person was Wallace Martin?
He is a man who has stood firm for many years by Lyke Zhekova’s side.
How could he fail to see her little tricks?
Clara Evans felt that she had better be honest.
If she really wanted to know something, she could just ask Peggy Lewis later.
She was quite dependable.
However, from Manager Thompson’s words, she also revealed a lot of information.
According to Manager Thompson, their cooperation with Majestic has not been interrupted and will continue.
So, the cooperation is ongoing, but Peggy Lewis is now in Manager Thompson’s Office.
This indicates that the person responsible for the cooperation might change.
And judging from the attitudes of Manager Thompson and Wallace Martin, it didn’t seem like Peggy Lewis was meddling.
Otherwise, Manager Thompson would definitely not let Peggy Lewis take charge again.
As Clara Evans was thinking about these things, she heard Wallace Martin say, “Miss Evans, how long have you been working in the Business Department?”
Clara Evans came back to her senses and quickly answered, “Four years.”
“You are a veteran then,” Wallace Martin said.
“You must be very familiar with all aspects of the Business Department,” Wallace Martin said, “By the way, didn’t you join the company around the same time as Jacob Zahn?”
“Jacob Zahn joined a year earlier than me.
I joined a year before Peggy Lewis.” Clara Evans responded.
“I see,” Wallace Martin nodded thoughtfully, “I heard that Manager Thompson is about to be promoted, and Peggy Lewis and Jacob Zahn are strong contenders for the manager’s position.”
“But I noticed that there are quite a few old employees in your company, even some aged ones.
Why are Peggy Lewis and Jacob Zahn the ones competing for the position?
Do the other senior employees have no objections?” Martin asked again.
Clara Evans was quite on guard then.
Why are you looking deep into our business affairs?
But, Wallace Martin is someone she can’t offend.
So she picked the safer response, “Though I joined the company one year earlier than Peggy, I know very well the extent of my own abilities.
I’m not as ambitious or adaptable as Peggy.
Actually, there were numerous times that I made mistakes and it was only with Peggy’s help that I managed to get through it.”
“So I wholeheartedly support and respect Peggy as the popular choice for the manager’s position.
As for Jacob Zahn, his performance has always been the best in our department, so he is equally suitable based solely on merit.”
“As for what you said about the old employees, as you said, they are not young and have been ordinary workers for a long time.
To tell you the truth, even if they were promoted to the manager’s position because of their seniority, they would reach retirement age in a few years and there would be another personnel upheaval.
From the company’s perspective, it’s not appropriate, right?”
What’s more, people who have been ordinary employees for so many years clearly have ability problems.
At this point, they are just trying to make it to retirement and live off their pensions.
No one has the ambition or ability to compete for the manager’s position.
Clara hadn’t vocalized these thoughts, of course.
But she didn’t believe that Wallace Martin wouldn’t think of this himself.
After all, this was something that even she could think of.
If Wallace Martin can’t even think of this, he shouldn’t continue working under Lyke Zhekova.
She would do just fine in his place.
“That makes sense.” Wallace Martin nodded in agreement, “How are Peggy Lewis and Jacob Zahn getting along?”
Clara felt that she shouldn’t continue answering Wallace Martin.
What if he tricked her into saying something she shouldn’t?
Clara turned serious and asked Wallace Martin, “Mr.
Martin, do these things concern the cooperation between our company and Majestic?”
“Or has their relationship affected our cooperation with Majestic?” Clara asked, “Or did Peggy do something wrong?”
“No, you’re overthinking it.” Wallace Martin said with a smile, “I just want to get a better understanding of the people who are about to be in charge of our cooperation.”
Wallace Martin thought for a moment and decided to give Clara some hints.
“Our CEO values the character of our partners very highly, even if the person is not the head of the company, but just an employee within the company.
When it comes to character, our CEO takes it very seriously.”
“I think you know, the previous cooperation between our two companies was handled by Jacob Zahn.
But Jacob Zahn, …” Wallace Martin deliberately left her hanging, “had some character issues, so the previous cooperation was suddenly called off.”
“Our CEO was afraid that Jacob Zahn would cause problems, leading to complications in our cooperation with your company.
But your company meets our requirements very well, so our CEO is not going to reject your entire company because of the problems with one employee.”
“So, we plan to find someone else to handle our cooperation.
I am here this time to have Manager Thompson recommend a candidate.
After all, she is your direct supervisor and she knows the most about the issues of the employees.
In the end, she recommended Peggy Lewis, saying that she perfectly meets the criteria we proposed.”
“But what if?
I am worried that Manager Thompson, as a supervisor, may have a different understanding of the employees than their colleagues.
So I want to ask you about it,” Wallace Martin said.
Wallace Martin explained sincerely and in detail, which also gave Clara a general understanding of the reasons.
The main purpose of Wallace Martin’s words is to prevent any defamatory statements about Peggy Lewis in the future, at least there is a clear-minded person like Clara.
