Gina took the contract from Foss and looked at it carefully. She was afraid that Sidney would set a trap in the contract. After all, she suspected that Sidney was on Lucas's side.
Hebe and Oswald were stunned. They also came to look at the contract and then looked at Sidney together. They suspected that Sidney's fall hurt his intellect.
There was no problem with the contract. Gina glanced at Sidney and said, "Mr. Walker, are you prepared to... transfer the Canary date palms $1 per plant?"
Sidney nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, as well-behaved as an all-A student at primary school.
"Sidney, are you crazy?" Oswald knew Sidney, and he had made a bet with Ashburn just now. He didn't want to see this result, "One plant for $1, how much do you have to lose?"
Ashburn asked with a smile, "Mr. Walker, you feel you are at a loss?"
Sidney waved his hand hurriedly, "It's no loss at all. It's no loss at all to be able to make friends like Mr. Xanthos."
Oswald was confused, what was going on?
Gina was also confused.
If such a strange thing had not happened before his eyes, Gina would not believe anything he said.
She knew that this matter had something to do with Ashburn, so she couldn't help but cast an inquiring look at him.
Ashburn didn't speak but nodded slightly.
Gina had no objection and signed the contract in duplicate.
Sidney breathed a sigh of relief, took one of the contracts, and said, "Mr. Xanthos, Manager Willow, then... I leave first."
"Sunny, send Mr. Walker off." Gina greeted the secretary beside her.
Sidney said hurriedly, "No, no, don't trouble." He took his assistant and left as if running away.
The living room fell into silence again.
Oswald looked a little embarrassed.
Ashburn walked up to him and said calmly, "Oswald, it's time for you to fulfil your promise."
"What...what promise?"
"Kneel down."
Oswald forcefully squeezed out a smile, "Ashburn, you are such an adult, and you can't even understand a joke. It's really funny."
"As a man, you should be honest, right?" Ashburn spoke calmly and placed a hand on Oswald's shoulder.
A force of gravity pressed directly on Oswald's shoulders, and his shoulders sank. Oswald involuntarily made a splash and knelt upright in front of Ashburn.
His knee hurt a lot. Oswald's face turned pale and he almost screamed without pain.
Hebe shouted, "Oswald, why did you kneel down for him? Don't lose your dignity! The young master of the Yandell family, how can you kneel for this loser?" She said and hurriedly came over to help him.
Then she turned around and cursed, "Ashburn, what's the matter with you? You dare to ask Oswald to kneel to you. What a loser! Kneel and apologize!"
Ashburn didn't say anything but just gave Hebe a look.
Hebe had never seen this look before, and her heart skipped a beat. Why did this man's eyes become so scary?
As if he could kill someone.
When the words came to her lips, Hebe swallowed them involuntarily.
For Gina's sake, Ashburn didn't want to stoop to Hebe's level, so he looked at Foss with clear eyes, "Mr. Foss, what else do you have to say?"
"Say... say what?" Foss was a little confused.
"You just said that if I can get Sidney to sell Gina at the price of $1 per plant, you will abdicate and make way for others."
Foss's expression froze, but he was not as stunned as Oswald. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xanthos, if you want my position, I can give it to you. With my ability, no matter which company I work for, I can be a director."
"Foss, Ashburn is joking with you." The company needed capable people in the current situation, not to mention that Foss is indeed a talent, so Gina hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
Ashburn glanced at Foss meaningfully, "Sure, I'm joking." Then he turned around and left.
Gina quickly chased into the elevator. She was wearing high heels walked a little too quickly, and fell directly into the elevator.
Ashburn subconsciously stretched out his hands, and the soft elasticity surged in his arms, making his heart skip a beat.
Gina's cheeks turned red, and she hurriedly got out of his arms, stroked her hair, and asked in a low voice, "What happened just now?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why did Sidney suddenly sell Canary date palms for one dollar a plant? Don't tell me that this has nothing to do with you."
Ashburn smiled and said, "Of course, I have the handle of him."
Gina fell into deep thought. When she got out of the elevator, she figured it out, "Could it be that he and Roxanne..."
When Roxanne's baby was just born, he went to the delivery room of the hospital. As a partner, he usually would not visit at that time.
Moreover, Trocy's family did not notify their business partners, because in the custom of Narada, the delivery room was an unlucky place, which was especially a taboo for businessmen, and they often avoided it for good luck.
Only when giving a banquet, they invited guests.
"You are very smart, aren't you?" Ashburn said with some appreciation.
Gina was a little embarrassed but suddenly felt that this was not a compliment to her. What does it mean to be suddenly praised as smart?
It inferred that she was stupid before.
"Ashburn, you have done me a big favour again," Gina said gratefully.
"If I remember correctly, the Scenic Group's project requires one hundred Canary date palms. What about the others?"
"Plant these 22 plants first, and Foss and I will continue to contact other businesses for the others."
"I just saw Foss's face. He is born to be a rebel. You have to be careful."
Gina smiled softly, "Born to be a rebel? When did you know metoposcopy? You should have less contact with these feudal superstitions in the future. Don't think that because you accidentally stopped me from getting on the plane, you have some magical powers. I know after hearing what my mother said, you targeted Foss. Yes, he did pursue me when he was in college, but didn't I refuse him? Otherwise, we won't become a couple now? "
Ashburn was about to speak but stopped.
If he said anything unfavourable to Foss at this time, Gina would definitely think that he was narrow-minded.
There was no evidence to prove that Foss betrayed the Willow Company, and it was useless to say anything.
Moreover, people's appearance was divided into innate appearance and acquired appearance. The former was brought about by birth and governed people's characters, while the latter was generated by the thought of people. Due to the influence of environment and experience, human appearance will also change.
Once the two are mixed together, it was difficult to distinguish them, and they must be carefully verified. For example, when he saw that Roxanne's temple acupoint was strange, he had to find evidence of her cheating before.
Although some people had the traits to be involved in adultery, they may not have the conditions to cheat at all, or they may have the intention to cheat, but were ultimately restrained by morality, etc.
The same went for rebels. They may not necessarily rebel, but the probability was higher than that of ordinary people. However, it was worth noting that those who rebel must have the fate of a dragon and tiger. They were born to be more courageous than ordinary people.
Legend had it that several emperors were born rebellious. For example, a certain founding marshal of this dynasty and today's richest man were both rebellious as well.
Therefore, once a person born to be a rebel became rebellious, the consequences could be far more serious than ordinary people. Ashburn needed to keep a careful eye on Foss.
It was just that the Willow Company was in a difficult situation right now. Without any evidence, if he attacked Foss, it would probably cause panic within the company and chill the hearts of those who wanted to work for the company.
