William's face suddenly stiffened.
But he said, "Why did Mrs. Gadsby say these words?"
Zoey tapped her chopsticks gently on the edge of the plate and said with a serious look on her face, "You have just come out of prison, and your previous company has no business dealings with us. It is unlikely that you and Jayden have direct hatred. "
"I have been observing the changes in your expression just now, and recalling the conversation between you and Jayden that day that made you explode. It seemed that Jayden said that your wife was slept with or something, so I think I must have guessed it.”
At this moment, Zoey was like a child who found a toy she liked, with a face full of curiosity.
William felt a sense of humiliation. At the same time, there was some confusion. Did Zoey really guess it? Or did she already know it?
No matter what the situation was, William knew that he had been seen through.
No, Zoey was testing him.
William slowly raised his head and looked directly into Zoey's eyes.
Today's scene was something he had never imagined.
He entered Faithview Group and then became a vice president-level executive. While busy working to make money, he quietly collected evidence on Jayden.
If there was a chance in the future, grab Jayden's pigtails and pull him down. Even held his shady things as evidence of a crime. Sent him to jail to relieve his hatred.
However, Zoey's direct attack completely disrupted his plan.
What to do?
William, the great think tank of Starlights Group Company, and the counselor, was confused at this moment.
He turned his eyes away, and his eyes were full of executives who came to get food.
All of them were well-dressed and elegant.
Not to mention Jayden, who was the assistant to the president, any one of the department heads in front of him would be popular in the society because they were the supervisors of Faithview Group.
A bolt of lightning flashed across William's mind. He got it.
So, he decided to abandon his previous plan and make a desperate move completely.
William sat up straight and said calmly, "Mrs. Gadsby, did you already know about Jayden and Emma?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Zoey's eyes.
The short-haired woman who was eating at the far end of the table stopped to look at William and then continued eating.
Zoey smiled.
"William, your reaction is not slow."
William smiled bitterly, "I still care about face, even though my face has been stepped into the mud."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The executives who saw this scene were amazed.
Mrs. Gadsby was cold to everyone. After all, she had to maintain her dignity. It was rare to see her smiling at anyone, especially a man. The key was that this man had just joined the company today. It seemed that this guy who dared to slam the table and hit people was a direct descendant of Mrs. Gadsby.
Zoey smiled and said, "Can you tell me how you figured it out?"
William shrugged and said helplessly, "It was just a momentary thought. With your status, if you want to mess with me, you don't need to deceive me with words!"
"So, you are giving me a chance. Right?" William asked.
Zoey nodded.
"You want me to be your gun? To deal with Jayden?" William lowered his voice and asked seriously.
"It's inappropriate to be a gun this time. To be precise, it's a dog!"
After saying this, Zoey stopped again,
Look directly at William.
William looked calm.
Being a dog was an insult.
"Mrs. Gadsby, there is no need to test me anymore. I am thirty-one today, and I am not a fledgling who gives up opportunities just for a few harsh words. Since I am confessing to you, I also hope that Mrs. Gadsby can confess to me what I need to do and how to cooperate with you!"
Zoey was silent for a few seconds and then said with a smile, " William, you are indeed very smart and know how to assess the situation."
"Thank you, Mrs. Gadsby."
"However, when I said I wanted you to be a dog, I wasn't trying to test you. I really thought so!" Zoey said calmly.
"Mrs. Gadsby, I don't like this metaphor!"
William frowned slightly.
After all was said and done, Zoey still said this, which was a bit of a slap in the face.
"William, don't be dissatisfied!" Zoey snorted coldly, "Do you know how much money I handled this morning?"
"You sat in my office for two and a half hours, and I took away 3,100,000 dollars. How does the scale compare to yours in Starlights Group?"
William shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Starlights Group Company was just a medium-sized start-up company. How could it be compared with Faithview Group?
The Starlights Group at that time was doing very impressive things, but from the perspective of the level CEO of Faithview Group, it was just a small effort.
In the market, the capital was king.
When capital was crushing it, it would be of no use even if the company's boss had a brilliant mind.
Zoey gave William a distant nod with the tip of her chopsticks, "If you want me to pay attention to you, it's very simple. Just do it for me!"
"Aren't you good at solving all kinds of problems? Then do it! I will support you no matter how you play within the rules. If you play outside, don't blame me for not helping you! I would be very happy if Jayden could learn a lesson while working for me!"
"You need to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Your annual salary is 84,000 dollars, after tax, and you will get three months' salary as a year-end bonus. If there is no objection, go to the human resources department and sign the contract! One quarter's salary will be paid in advance."
84,000 dollars. William must admit he was moved.
During the time of Starlights Group, he only had more than 42,000 dollars a year.
Now that the after-tax income had doubled, the income had suddenly become abundant. Emily had enough money to go to kindergarten and learn her special skills. He could even imagine moving to a bigger house, improving living conditions.
Alas, William sighed secretly.
Money is the courage of a hero, it was a wise saying.
"Mrs. Gadsby, can I ask how far you will go to support me?"
Zoey said word for word, "You can come to me if you need money or people. As long as you don't break the law, I will dare to support you."
William frowned, "I'm very confused. Everyone can see the conflict between you and Jayden. Why don't you divorce him?"
Zoey lowered her head to eat and did not answer.
William was bored, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye. He was going to go to the human resources department to sign the contract and the finance department to collect his salary.
After being released from prison, William's body was free.
Only after he took out a card and four stacks of hundred-dollar bills from his finances and gained the confidence he had not seen for a long time did his soul truly reach freedom.
After signing the contract, William was informed of his real position.
Not the deputy director of the office.
They were staff members of the President's Office who enjoyed the treatment of deputy directors.
While distributing the money, the finance officer gave him a mobile phone and a car key.
Cell phones must be turned on 24 hours a day.
After Mrs. Gadsby calls, he would arrive within twenty minutes at the latest.
General affairs assigned by the president should be completed within forty-eight hours.
Urgent matters would be completed within 24 hours.
Regarding him, manpower also had a detailed assessment plan. And there were dedicated personnel to conduct the assessment. William read it several times and sighed deeply.
These days, making a fake dog for Zoey is more difficult than making a real dog.
Walking out of the company headquarters, he found his own old Volkswagen Passat.
William saw the BMW with 6666 on the license plate parked next to the Volkswagen.
That belonged to Jayden.
The shiny surface of the BMW reflected the sun.
The Passat was dusty, and it was obvious that few people usually drive it.
William borrowed a bucket and rag from the guard, filled a bucket of water, spread his arms, and started cleaning.
Water drops splashed, and sweat beads fell to the ground.
After a lot of work, the Passat was finally clean.
Compared with BMW, it still looked old and inferior.
However, William was in an extremely happy mood.
“The day I was released from prison, I couldn't even get through the gate of Faithview Group! Today, my car and your car are side by side. Jayden, the game has just begun, let's see!" William murmured to himself.
On the 30th floor, in an office.
Jayden, whose face was covered with band-aids, stood in front of the window and looked down with his hands in his pockets.
Next to him was a man who looked to be in his late forties.
It was Leo, the director of the president's office.
Both of their eyes stayed on William.
"I want this guy to die without a burial place!" Jayden gritted his teeth.
"Don't be anxious, it's fun if we play slowly!" Leo said with a smile.
