At Senior Zimmer’s order, one of the Zimmers stood up proudly and blocked those rich heirs with a smug grin. “Gentlemen, this is a private property. You can’t simply trespass here.”“Zimmers? As in, the Zimmers from Niumhi?”A buff rich heir spoke up coldly.This Zimmer didn’t sense anything wrong and continued grinning. “That’s right! We’re the Zimmers from Niumhi, and we’re under Sky Corporation. If you want to meet our CEO, you need to make a reservation first. Today I don’t think…”Slap!Before he could end his sentence, the rich heir slapped him hard across the face. He was utterly dumbfounded.The rich heir continued, “What a family! Insignificant outsiders like you people dare to call yourselves a new rich family in Buckwood in front of us? Hah!”His acquaintances who were standing behind him let out mocking sneers.Despite the fact they were now facing bankruptcy, in the past they were feared by many.It was obvious they came here to make trouble and besmirch the Zimme
Senior Zimmer’s face darkened instantly.He was the Zimmers’ CEO. His company had Sky Corporation’s backing and was on good terms with the Silvas. Not to mention, the Zimmers once collaborated with the distinguished Naiswells.No matter how one looked at it, the Zimmers clearly had a high enough status.And yet, Craig Long literally smashed a cup right in front of him. What’s the meaning of this?Senior Zimmer was a bit taken aback, but he inhaled deeply and said slowly, “Mr. Long, correct? We Zimmers always treat everyone genuinely. If you came with good intentions, we will welcome you with the utmost kindness and respect.”“But seeing your actions, it’d be best for us to send you out, no?”“Send us out?” Craig sniggered. “We’re not done yet. If you don’t give us a good explanation, I can assure you, we won’t let you Zimmers survive in Buckwood!”“We’ll make you understand the consequences of offending people like us!”The others chortled along.“A family as insignificant as
Craig Long replied coldly, “Well then, allow me to begin!”“I don’t know what your family’s Mandy Zimmer did to take your business out of bankruptcy.”“It may be due to her skills, but as I’ve said before, we have our own rules and conventions in Buckwood’s commercial world. Without them, nothing can proceed smoothly.”“Her doing this makes you Zimmers the enemies of all the elites and royalties of Buckwood!”The Zimmers took in all of this with stunned realization.Quinn was the first to react. She stood up angrily and exclaimed passionately, “Grandpa! I always thought something wasn’t right! How could Mandy solve all of our problems the moment she shows up? It doesn’t make sense!”“She must’ve resorted to dirty tricks!”“We Zimmers are righteous and upright folk. How can we tolerate someone like her in our midst?”“The way Mandy works violates the basic rules of Buckwood’s business industry. Instead of saving our family, she’s bringing harm to all of us!”“Grandpa! I suggest
Senior Zimmer was patient as he explained his thoughts to the rest.Craig Long furrowed his eyebrows lightly, and then snuck a quick glance at Zack.Zack shot him a discreet glance in reply, before turning to his grandfather to speak. “Grandpa, you can’t do that! Mandy’s going to think I planned a farce to discredit her and reach the top!”“About that…”“What about it?” Craig cut in, snickering. “Well… seeing that CEO Zimmer’s come to a decision, we’ll let you all off the hook for now. Remember this! If you don’t keep your word and Mandy Zimmer still remains in power, it’ll be all over for you Zimmers! We’ll make sure of it.”“Come on, guys. We’re leaving!”Craig Long strode haughtily out of the door, followed by his clique. Unlike him, they looked rather astonished and dumbfounded. They had stormed the Zimmer mansion filled with rage and frustration, but they achieved nothing. How was this a satisfactory conclusion? None of this is enough! …Once outside, one of the rich he
At the same time, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer arrived home.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates stared at Harvey in disbelief. “How did you do that? Senior Zimmer actually came here and invited Mandy back personally!”“Because I was the one who made the decision,” Harvey replied solemnly.Simon and others treated his words as a mere joke, but didn’t make fun of him.“It’s strange.” Simon furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. “Why is everything solved whenever Mandy appears? Is our family that incredible?” Their doubts of Mandy being Prince York’s secret lover vanished into the wind.If that was truly the case, how could a man as esteemed as Prince York allow Mandy to bring along her live-in husband to Sky Corporation?Mandy was dumbfounded as well. “Yeah! The way that deputy director acted was really strange. He was so friendly to me!”Mandy was always an intelligent girl, but she was too astounded by her experience today to stop and think about the whole matter thoroughly. Right now
Before heading out, Mandy Zimmer thought to herself for a while and said, “Harvey, I think we should tell grandpa and others first. After all, we’re representing the Zimmers to sign the framework agreement.”“I don’t think there’s a need for that. Sky Corporation specifically requested for you. There’s no use for anyone else to go.” Harvey York replied lightly.“I should at least make a call. He’s my grandpa, so I have to show some respect.” Mandy was such an obedient granddaughter.Almost immediately, Senior Zimmer picked up her call.His fake cough could be heard clearly from the phone. “Mandy! Anything you need?”“Grandpa, right now I’m heading over to Sky Corporation to sign the framework agreement. I just thought I should tell you.” Mandy replied respectfully.“Ah, about that. Zack and Quinn are already on their way there. You don’t have to go anymore!” Senior Zimmer’s tone was full of impatience. “The Zimmer company has arranged an office for you, so just go do your work.”
Nobody could comprehend why such a good project with so many resources would be given to Zimmer Enterprise, of all people.This small company had just come to Buckwood not long ago. Yet none of them dared to say anything about this, not where they were all under Sky Corporation. They could only voice out congratulatory remarks and praises to Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives, Zack and Quinn Zimmer. The two accepted everything with delight.“Next,” the director continued, “I would like to invite Zimmer Enterprise’s representatives to sign the framework agreement at the back office.”The person in charge of the framework agreement was still the deputy director of the previous business department.The executive director was only making announcements based on the decision made by Sky Corporation’s senior management.“Huh? Where is Mrs. Zimmer?” The deputy director craned his neck to look for her, his eyes searching through the crowd for a glimpse of Mandy.“Mandy is occupied wi
At Sky Corporation.Zack and Quinn Zimmer waited anxiously for more than half an hour until the deputy director finally returned.He shook hands with Zack Zimmer, smiling genially. “Vice CEO Zimmer, please go back and tell CEO Zimmer that our arrangement doesn’t require him to show himself in person. If there are any questions or doubts, a simple call will suffice. He has my number.”“Also, this is something I specially prepared for him. Please give this to him on my behalf.”The deputy director took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Zack.What?Sky Corporation’s deputy director is giving Zimmer Enterprise’s CEO a gift?What’s going on?Zack was still in a daze as he walked out of Sky Corporation while holding the gift box. He did not understand what had happened.However, Quinn was very curious. She kept staring at the gift box for a long time. Finally, she couldn’t hold herself back and blurted out, “Zack, what’s in it? Let’s open it!”Zack was just as curious, but
