Early the next morning, William drove the Passat issued by the group to the headquarters.
Faithview Group occupied a conspicuous position on one side of the main road.
Although the building was not as good as the office buildings towering into the clouds, its appearance was calm and spectacular.
William looked up.
It seemed as if the whole sky and the buildings were pressing down on him.
An unspeakable feeling of oppression.
He gave up so much for revenge.
But was Jayden in an office on the 30th floor really something he could deal with?
He worked hard at Faithview Group and entered the president's office.
It could be regarded as directly entering the heart of the enemy.
But compared with Jayden, William was not good enough.
In terms of status, Jayden was the president's assistant and husband.
There seemed to be family support behind him.
In terms of resources that could be mobilized, Jayden could definitely win over him.
And what about himself?
Nothing but strong determination and a cool head.
Even though CEO Zoey seemed to be on his side, he still didn't feel like he had a chance of winning.
A dignified group president actually needed a newcomer like him to take the lead, he could imagine Zoey's difficult situation.
Before taking revenge, William was full of confidence.
The philosophy teacher inmate once said that the bigger the affairs, the smaller the weaknesses.
As long as you grasped the key, you could win with one blow.
It sounded good, but when he actually did it, he found that in the final analysis, that sentence was really a motivational speech!
But there was one thing that could give William confidence.
Everyone had only one life.
He wanted to make Jayden lose all his support step by step, forcing him to fight against himself in the end.
Only then would his winning rate reach the maximum 50%.
It sounded quite miserable. But society was so cruel.
It was extremely difficult to push a high-ranking and successful person to the point of desperate efforts.
This was also William's greatest confidence to take the initiative to enter Faithview Group to implement the plan.
Enter the group building.
In fact, not many people knew William.
Most of the people who knew what happened that day were senior executives and middle managers.
Most of the people squeezing into the elevator together were ordinary employees in a hurry.
In the dull iron sedan, William regained the feeling of working at Starlights Group.
It was really nice to have something to do.
Even if it was revenge.
On the 30th floor was the office of President Zoey, the office of the Director of the President's Office, and the President's Office next to each other.
Sounded mouthful awkward.
Therefore, the president's office was called the "General office" within the group.
The office of Leo, director of the President's Office, was called the "Director's Office."
According to the arrangement, William opened the office door and prepared to join the company officially.
Sofia, dressed in black professional attire, was the first to see him and stood up to say hello enthusiastically.
Then as if he remembered something, his face changed slightly.
"Hello everyone, I am a new employee, William, please treat me kindly!" William greeted everyone with a smile.
This was what we should have in the workplace.
Once, Sofia said that these men in the general office wanted to support him.
It seemed that everyone's relationship should be quite harmonious.
But soon, William discovered something was wrong.
Currently, there were five people in the general office.
According to the arrangement of desks, there was a middle-aged man working forward.
According to William's guess, it should be the deputy director of the General Office.
The other four people sat together. But here came the problem. There were six desks in the office. One of them was empty. But there were personal belongings and an open laptop.
In other words, there was no place for William.
"Sofia, don't you have a table for me?" William asked with a smile.
Sofia didn't dare to look at him. "William, why don't you ask?"
The little girl pursed her lips towards the middle-aged man, the one with the protruding seat.
She wanted William to find out for himself.
But the man felt very proud and stood up and said with a smile, "William, right? I am the deputy director of the general office, Luca Yoxall. I'm sorry, but there are no free office cubicles in the logistics department. Please find a place first. You are all serving the president anyway, and you are always available. You are quite flexible like this!"
Nonsense!
William cursed secretly in his heart.
As a veteran in the workplace, he naturally knew that he was being targeted.
He was an employee who enjoyed the level of vice president of the branch.
William was also sure that Deputy Director Luca's salary would not be as high as his.
Whether it was Luca who took the initiative to make things hard for him or whether he did so after being instructed by others, William was already very unhappy.
No wonder the boss complained about Faithview Group's big company disease.
It could be seen.
William was calm and scanned the whole room secretly.
Several other colleagues looked at him quietly, as if they wanted to see how he would respond.
Come on, got it!
If he couldn't solve the desk problem today, he was afraid it would be even more difficult for him to work in the future.
This was a show of force.
Behind the scenes, one hundred percent, there was Jayden's authorization.
Haha, do you think this will trouble me?
You are looking down on me!
Complain to Zoey?
No way!
That would only make Zoey look down upon herself.
William would be extremely embarrassed if he had to go to the CEO even for such trivial matters of office politics.
Call the logistics in person?
Not even a good idea.
There was a high probability that the logistics would be consistent with what Luca said.
Even if the table was really there, he could guarantee that he would definitely go down and move up by himself.
This group of so-called colleagues in the office would definitely not be helpful.
Because he was new.
He also offended Jayden.
The president's office was almost infiltrated by Jayden.
Until the situation became clear, he had to fight alone.
William entered the general office not so much to cooperate with Zoey at close range, but rather because Zoey was adding sand to the situation.
Deputy Director Luca rolled his small triangle eyes, "William, the office conditions will improve. You must overcome it first!"
Fuck it!
William had a smile on his face.
He sneered in his heart.
He knew he would be ostracized, but he didn't expect that the other party would use such low-level methods.
But, that was what they did.
William didn't know whether to praise them for being stupid or laugh at them.
"It's okay!" William smiled and turned around to go out.
The general office was rejuvenated.
Sofia was a little confused, "Is this really good?"
Luca glanced at her, "Sofia, do your own thing and mind your own business!"
"Ok!" Sofia replied helplessly.
Luca continued to click the mouse and browse the web.
A proud smile hung on his lips.
So what if you, William, enjoyed the treatment of the vice president of the branch?
So what if the CEO personally recruited you?
The county magistrate was not as good as taking charge now.
He still made him docile.
William went out and turned directly to the door of the president's office.
He told the girl at the front desk to see the short-haired woman inside.
That was the one who accompanied him and Zoey to eat in the cafeteria.
The short-haired woman was called Leah Seward.
She was Zoey's personal bodyguard.
It was said that she was a retired female special operations team member.
Her kung fu was quite good.
After Leah came out, she was slightly surprised.
"If you want to find Mrs. Gadsby, just go directly without going through me!" Leah was slightly surprised after coming out.
"I'm looking for you!" William smiled slightly.
