NOVPUBChapter 974: Chapter 974: I Don’t Know Either_1 Chapter 974: Chapter 974: I Don’t Know Either_1 Forewarn Clara Evans in advance, let her know the reasons behind Jacob Zahn’s replacement.
If she could spread the news later, it would be even better.
Clara Evans sighed with relief: “So, that’s what happened.”
No wonder they wanted to replace Jacob Zahn.
She knew it.
There was something wrong with Jacob Zahn.
She had always been uncomfortable with Jacob Zahn.
She always felt that there something unscrupulous about the way he conducted business.
...
“Then rest assured, Peggy Lewis is definitely reliable.” Clara Evans quickly said, “Peggy is a great person, truly sincere.
When it comes to her colleagues, if she can help them with any difficulties at work, she will always lend a hand.
She is never just standing by and watching, let alone taking joy in other’s misfortune or kicking them when they are down.
She truly cares about her colleagues and is very responsible.”
“If she could take charge of this collaboration, that would be great.” Clara Evans said.
Wallace Martin nodded, “Listening to you, I feel reassured.”
“Mr.
Martin, luckily you asked me.
If you ended up asking someone who doesn’t get along with Peggy, they might deliberately badmouth her.” Clara Evans said, wrinkling her nose.
Wallace Martin smiled, “That’s why I asked you from the beginning, how long have you been with the company and what you think about the competition for the managerial position between them.
From what I can tell, you don’t have anything against Peggy Lewis, so feel safe taking your opinion.”
Clara Evans: “…”
Clara Evans looks at Wallace Martin now as if he’s a devil.
Wallace Martin: “…”
“What’s with that expression?” Wallace Martin asked speechlessly.
“…” Clara Evans chuckled, “I was thinking, how could you possibly be asking questions that I completely understand?”
Hehehehehe!
He’s simply a devil!
Wallace Martin: “…”
Later on, no matter what Wallace Martin asked Clara Evans, she just blinked her big eyes at him, acting completely naive: “I really don’t know.”
Wallace Martin: “…”
“…” Wallace Martin couldn’t help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid this could affect the collaboration between both companies?”
“Mr.
Martin, you must be joking.
I’m just a small employee, how could I have such a huge influence?” Clara Evans said.
“Moreover, even if Jacob Zahn made a mistake, the worst you would do is replace the person in charge, which wouldn’t affect the collaboration.
How could I possibly have any impact?” Clara isn’t worried at all now.
“And, I don’t think you would be the kind of person who would hold a grudge against a small employee like me.
Also, If I inadvertently say something that could affect our company, I would be the one in real trouble.
Please, don’t make things difficult for me anymore.”
While talking, the two arrived at the research and development department.
Clara could hardly contain her excitement, “Aha, we’re here!
Mr.
Martin, after you, please try our products.”
By offering him a drink, she can finally get him to stop asking her questions.

Over here, in Manager Thompson’s office.
Peggy Lewis straightforwardly asked Manager Thompson, “Manager Thompson, concerning this collaboration, why does Mr.
Martin seem so desperate?
Does he really need to promptly determine a candidate?”
“I don’t know either.” Manager Thompson shook her head, “But his actions represent the attitude of the CEO of Majestic Corp.”
Peggy Lewis couldn’t help but think of Lyke Zhekova.
Manager Thompson then said, “Since you have also noticed Majestic Corp’s attitude, I was originally thinking about giving you some time to consider.
I know it’s a very sensitive time now, and once you accept, you will have to face a lot of things.”
“However, they didn’t plan to give you time to consider, and CEO Lewis is also very determined.” Manager Thompson said.
“From what I can see, the managerial position definitely won’t involve Jacob Zahn.
If you undertake this task, the managerial position will be yours.
But if you don’t accept it…” Manager Thompson didn’t finish her sentence.
But Peggy Lewis already understood.
“Given CEO Lewis’s temperament, which you’re already familiar with, since you’re already on his radar with this incident, if you don’t take the offer, not only will you not be able to take the managerial position, it might even affect your future career.”
“You’re still young, if you’re planning to stay at Sincere Corp, you can’t always remain a regular employee right?
Especially given your capabilities, if you remain a regular employee in the company because of this incident, it would be a waste.”
“Plus, with your experience, if you switch to another company and start from scratch, it would also be a waste.” Manager Thompson said.
Understanding Manager Thompson’s meaning, Peggy asked, “Do you also hope that I’d take the offer?”
Manager Thompson nodded, “In consideration of your future career in the company, yes, I do hope so.”
“You have quite a few friends in our department, apart from those close to Jacob Zahn, even if the others aren’t so close with you, they still know your character.” Manager Thompson stated.
“At least there shouldn’t be any idle gossip in our department.
Especially given Jacob Zahn’s wrongdoing in this matter, I don’t think he will dare say anything.”
“As for the people in other departments.” Manager Thompson smiled, “In my opinion, after this collaboration, you’ll be the manager of our department, their superior.
No matter what they say, how could it affect you?”
“With your capabilities, as long as you stay stable within the company, there’s no doubt you’ll be promoted.
By then, what the others say will be irrelevant.” Manager Thompson stated.
“Furthermore, with time passing, even if someone brings up this incident in the future, you’ll already be part of the management team.
Who will dare to bring it up then?”
“Most importantly, you did not do anything that goes against your conscience or morals, as long as you have a clear conscience, you don’t need to worry about what others say.” Manager Thompson commented.
“Peggy, if you want to be a part of the management team, you need to be decisive in some matters and there is no need to overthink certain things.” Manager Thompson advised.
Peggy Lewis nodded slowly.
Moreover, she doesn’t really have a choice right now.
As Manager Thompson said, if she doesn’t accept, she might have to stop working altogether.
“Alright, I agree.” Peggy Lewis said, taking a deep breath, “I’m prepared, even if there is idle gossip, I will persevere.”
Manager Thompson smiled, relieved, “I knew you could do it.”
“So later, when Clara brings Mr.
Martin back, we’ll talk to him about it.” Manager Thompson stood up and walked towards the window.
Her desk faced a whole wall of windows.
Just now, to facilitate the discussion, Manager Thompson had pulled up the blinds.
Now, she went over, slightly slid open a small gap between the shutters.
Then she turned to Peggy Lewis and said: “Right now, all the staff outside is probably guessing why I called you in.
You stay here for now, wait for Mr.
Martin.
Don’t go out.”
