2024-10-29 19:42:56The President's office of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation is situated on the top floor, and Anderson took the direct elevator to the topmost level. Upon the elevator doors opening, Anderson immediately saw a woman of elegant demeanor, porcelain skin, a tall and slender figure standing beautifully outside the elevator, waiting.
This woman was Hannah Allen, the CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics. Fernando Lewis had previously informed Hannah Allen, the CEO, that the new President wished to keep his identity secret and didn't want it widely known, so top personnel should not be present. Only Hannah was waiting on the top floor for the new President's arrival, having waited for quite some time.
When Anderson emerged from the elevator, she was momentarily stunned. She had never imagined that the new President of Pinnacle Dynamics would be the notoriously useless son-in-law of the Harris family! She had made numerous guesses about this mysterious new mogul, but Anderson? He was someone with no good reputation to speak of.
Because Lauren was the most beautiful woman in Lightharbor, very famous, almost everyone knew she had an incompetent, talentless husband. Anderson had been seen with Lauren at several important events. Some people had taken their photos, so many knew Anderson's face. Although Hannah had never met Anderson, she easily recognized Lauren's inept husband. Anderson knew from Hannah's surprised expression that she recognized him, the son-in-law of the Harris family. After all, his incompetence was too well-known.
"Mr. Anderson Campbell, are you the new President of Pinnacle Dynamics?" Hannah asked politely.
She had become the CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics at a very young age. Apart from her ability, she possessed good character and high responsibility, and she had seen many great men rise from humble positions. Therefore, she didn't underestimate anyone. Besides, if Anderson wasn't the new President, he wouldn't be here without reason.
"Yes." Anderson replied.
Although Hannah was very beautiful and slender, he didn't look at her a second time. In his eyes, no one could compare to Lauren.
"Welcome, President, please follow me." After confirming his identity, Hannah showed even greater respect to Anderson.
After entering the President's office with Hannah, he introduced himself.
"Perhaps you know who I am and I won't say much more. I'm here today just to say a few things." Anderson said.
"Yes, please go ahead." Hannah replied, equally serious.
"First, all departments of the Corporation will remain unchanged, as will the personnel. My identity, you must keep absolutely secret, not to be disclosed to anyone. I will not often be here, and you will be responsible for all matters of Pinnacle Dynamics." Anderson instructed.
"Yes, Mr. President, I will not disappoint you!" Hannah was pleasantly surprised that Anderson entrusted her with such important tasks upon his appointment.
"Secondly, immediately cease all cooperation with the Harris family." Anderson continued.
Hannah paused for a moment before asking: "The Harris family, do you mean the Harris family related to your wife?"
"Correct."
"...Yes." Although Hannah was very curious about why Anderson was acting against the Harris family, she refrained from asking any further questions.
"Thirdly, is the director of the project development department Everett Lopez?" Anderson, not wanting to miss anything, asked in advance.
"Yes, the director of the project development department is Mr. Everett Lopez, and he is from the Lopez family, one of the largest clans in Lightharbor." Hannah replied.
"Then fire him immediately and cease all cooperation with the Harris family. When he asks why, tell him there are two reasons: one, because he signed a contract with the Harris family, and two, because his nephew Conrad insulted someone he is not worthy of insulting."
"Yes." Hannah resolved to follow Anderson's orders without question.
"Good, do these things first, I will tell you the rest later." Anderson instructed.
"Yes, I will take care of these matters right away." Hannah said and stepped out of the office.
...
Meanwhile, in the office of the Director of Project Development...
"Uncle, Pinnacle Dynamics has a new chairman now. Can I find another project for the Harris family?" Conrad asked.
"Weren't you just awarded a contract yesterday? Why do you want a different project today?" Everett asked, displeased.
"Uncle, this is a different situation. The Harris family is very influential; one project is not enough! While the new chairman is still unfamiliar with the company, please sign a few more contracts for us!" Caroline urged.
"You two are too greedy." Everett remarked.
Caroline then quietly handed him a gift box and whispered: "I'm about to join the Lopez family, could you help our in-laws one more time?"
"Alright, I will consider and arrange another project for you." Everett laughed, tucking the gift box into a drawer.
"Thank you, uncle!" Caroline said cheerfully.
"Uncle, that useless son-in-law from the Harris family also came to Pinnacle Dynamics seeking employment. You must not let him join Pinnacle Dynamics, not even as a janitor." Conrad said.
"You mean Lauren's husband - Anderson?" Everett inquired.
"Yes, him!" Conrad replied angrily.
"Why do you seem to hate him so much?" Mr. Lopez asked.
"Because he only spews venomous words, saying he would cut off our livelihood and that you would be fired today." Conrad explained.
"Absurd! That worthless man dares to curse me? I'll call HR to kick him right away!" Everett said furiously.
As Everett finished speaking, Hannah arrived at his office door with a group of security guards.
"Director Allen, what brings you here so quickly? If there are any instructions, please tell me!" Everett immediately stood up with a feigned smile.
Hannah is the CEO of Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. She seldom visits Everett's office.
"Mr. Lopez, I am here to inform you that you have been fired." Hannah said bluntly, with a cold voice.
Everett felt like he had been struck by lightning on a sunny day, unable to believe his ears. Conrad and Caroline were also stunned, completely clueless about what was happening.
"Director, what... what did I do wrong? Why am I being fired?" Everett asked, his voice trembling.
"This is the directive of the new chairman." Hannah stated, her face devoid of emotion.
"The new Chairman? He just took office and doesn't understand the company's situation yet. Why fire me as soon as he takes charge?" Everett broke out in cold sweat.
"He said there are two reasons, one is because you signed a contract with the Harris family, and the other is because your nephew insulted someone he had no right to." Hannah explained.
Everett frantically reviewed the contract he had signed with the Harris family. Could this be a reason for dismissal? Conrad was also struck as if by lightning. Who had he insulted? So this was why his uncle was being fired? Caroline was also dumbstruck. She had just given Everett an expensive gift.
"The Chairman has also ordered that from now on, all cooperation with the Harris and Lopez families will be indefinitely suspended. And you should promptly proceed with your resignation!" Director Allen said.
Everett suddenly felt his mind go blank, his legs weak, and he slumped into his chair as if about to die.

What Everett valued wasn't the salary of the Director of Project Development, but the influence and status of this position! Never underestimate the power of this managerial role, as its potential could bring limitless benefits to his family. Whenever Pinnacle Dynamics had any new projects, he could prioritize his own family. It's fair to say that being ranked at the top among the major families of Lightharbor was closely related to his position. At last night's party, the people from the Harris family were right. Any family could soar high if they had even a small connection with Pinnacle Dynamics Corporation. How many families had to bow before Pinnacle Dynamics, the emperor of Lightharbor's business district? Now, with Everett removed from his position and Pinnacle Dynamics suspending cooperation with the Lopez family, how could he not be devastated? And the reason for his dismissal was just because he had signed a contract with the Harris family, and his grandson had insulted

"Uncle, no matter what, we're still part of a great family. The Lopez family has its own company; we don't have to work here. Let's return and work for our own company." Conrad consoled. "Hmph, what do you know? Can our family's company compare with Pinnacle Dynamics? Do you know how much I've contributed to the Lopez family from this position?" "Now look, I've lost this position because of you two, disrupting the Lopez family's contracts as well. Do you realize how severe the losses are?" Everett's anger was unabated, with no outlet for his frustration, he continued to berate Conrad. Conrad's face was bruised. He understood that his uncle's loss of position was his fault, and the consequences were indeed severe. "Uncle, it's all that terrible Anderson's fault, he cursed you into being fired. I never thought it would actually happen." Conrad tried to shift the blame to Anderson. "Get out! All of you, leave! I don't want to see the likes of you again!" Everett shouted, clearly not

At that moment, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the house: "Lauren, I've heard about your troubles. You have no feelings for him. It was all because of your grandfather's coercion. But he's gone now, and we can change that on the 14th. I will give you a grand wedding on that day, after all, you will divorce him, why not marry me?" Anderson was certain this man was Cameron Miller, intending to propose to Lauren. Unexpectedly, Avery had even brought Cameron to their doorstep! "I've admired you for a long time. I truly love you. I don't mind that you've been married. Marry me!" Miller continued. Worried that Cameron would grow tired of her daughter, Avery quickly explained: "Although my Lauren married a useless guy, they slept separately. Lauren has never let him touch her. She's still a virgin." "Mom, what are you talking about?" Lauren said, embarrassed. "I'm not saying anything wrong, it's the truth. Otherwise, why haven't you been pregnant in these three years? I've known

Anderson suddenly felt a chill. He realized that using force to reveal Cameron's weak nature was pointless, and he let go of his hand. However, Avery and Cameron thought Anderson was afraid of the Miller family and had to let go. "Anderson, if you have any conscience left, don't delay Lauren's marriage any longer, divorce her quickly so everyone can be happy!" Avery said. "There are only 6 days left until the 14th. Can’t you wait these 6 days? On that day, I will make Lauren the most beautiful bride at the grandest wedding, you will be satisfied. After that, if you still want us to divorce, I will have no further objections." Anderson said. "Why do you keep wanting to embarrass us? With your abilities, you can’t do that, know your place!" Avery retorted. "I don’t want to talk more about the wedding. You will see for yourself then." Anderson said, looking disheartened. Avery didn’t have time to worry about Anderson, she was more concerned about Cameron: "Young Master Miller, are yo

Lauren finally breathed a sigh of relief and then knocked on Anderson's door. She rarely entered her husband's room. She and Anderson were only married in name, and they didn't enter each other's rooms without permission. Anderson, hearing the knock, opened the door. "You saw it, it was my mother who brought Cameron here. It has nothing to do with me." Lauren felt the recent incident was disrespectful to Anderson and tried to explain. "I understand, you don’t need to explain that!" Anderson did not expect Lauren to proactively explain this to him. "The news about the wedding you're planning for me has spread too widely. You're making it hard for yourself, walking into a dead end. If you can't do it, even if I don't want to divorce you, my mother and everyone from the Harris family will force us to divorce. You’re running out of time." Lauren said angrily. "Lauren, you have to trust me. On the 14th, I will bring you a big surprise." Anderson seemed very serious. "Today, when the ne

"At this point, sighing is useless. I heard that Pinnacle Dynamics is recruiting a new director for the project development department. If someone from our Harris family can secure this position, we won't have to worry about project issues anymore." "You're right, we have many talented people in our family, everyone should try their luck at that corporation." Caroline said. "Exactly, I'll also give it a shot." Christian added. "Good, I have great confidence in the abilities of our descendants. As long as someone from the Harris family can infiltrate Pinnacle Dynamics, whoever it is will be a hero of our family. Whether we can become a prestigious family depends on that person!" Mr. Harris declared. ... Meanwhile, the Lopez and Miller families were also holding emergency family meetings to devise strategies to cope with the unfavorable situation. Since Conrad had offended a mysterious figure, leading to the dismissal of his uncle Everett and the termination of cooperation with Pin

Caroline and Christian were still outside the corporation building, sneering as they saw Lauren emerge as if in a trance. "I told you so, they wouldn't hire anyone from the Harris family. It's just embarrassing." Christian remarked. "Anderson, I thought you'd predict correctly again, but alas, you miscalculated this time! Dreaming about us begging you? Wake up!" Caroline scoffed mockingly. Then, they abruptly turned and left in their car. Anderson noticed Lauren's dazed state and frowned. Could Hannah have opposed him and recruited someone else? "Lauren, what happened? Weren't you accepted?" Anderson inquired urgently. "I got accepted!" Lauren slowly regained her composure, expressing her excitement. "So, you got in, but you still can't believe it's true, can you?" Anderson was momentarily speechless. "It feels like a dream, unreal." Lauren said. "Great, now that you're in at Pinnacle Dynamics, let's go home and celebrate!" Anderson suggested. "I can start working tomorrow, yo

"Kelly, what’s wrong? You seem surprised..." Lauren asked. "Lauren, are you really taking Anderson to the party?" Kelly was still in shock. "Yes, is there a problem? Can’t I bring my husband to a party?" Lauren queried. "Of course, it’s fine. Everyone brings their loved ones. I’m just surprised; don’t you usually feel embarrassed about him and hide him away at home? Why are you suddenly going out with him today?" Kelly remarked. "I’ve changed my mind about him, don’t worry about it." Lauren said. "Wow, right. It seems this Anderson is quite talented in other aspects!" Kelly commented. "What do you mean? What other aspects?" Lauren genuinely wanted to hear her best friend’s assessment of her husband. "First off, he’s handsome and tall, and his body looks pretty decent. Then look at his deep, melancholic eyes; it feels like they're hiding something." Kelly said. Being a novelist, she had a particularly rich imagination, often imagining those around her as mysterious and significa

Gregory was a three-star lieutenant.

Anderson said coldly.Kelly was surprised to hear this. How could Anderson and Gregory dare to enter the den of the Fierce Tiger gang alone without reinforcements?

Anderson said."What exactly should we do, sir?"

Gregory explained."So, it's about that. But I'm just a man who's been at war all year round, what does that have to do with me?" Anderson asked."It does! It's directly related to you.

Anderson almost fell over backward, shocked that his kind and gentle Lauren could entertain such violent thoughts!"You're even considering hiring the underworld?" Anderson couldn't believe his ears."It's just a plan, don't shout about it!" Lauren whispered, regretting her slip of the tongue."The underworld or hired goons are unreliable, don't be deceived by them." Anderson said, starting to sweat. The Sentry Dragon Warrior was right in front of her, and she was still thinking of hiring assassins?"I'm just worried that if you keep acting rashly like you did this afternoon, you'll find yourself in danger sooner or later. Hiring assassins is the best way to both get revenge and avoid those bad situations." Lauren argued, clearly unhappy with Anderson's disapproval."Don't worry about revenge. This place is full of villains. You never know when you might be deceived. Hiring assassins really isn't a good idea!" Anderson said calmly."Fine! Then I won't interfere in this matter anymore.
