The branch was located in the center of Cartle, occupying the group's building with clear hierarchies and levels.
Under the leadership of Lyrick, Leon smoothly entered the personnel department on one of the floors of the business association building and went straight to the office of the person in charge. Lyrick pulled out a document from the drawer and carefully examined it before speaking slowly, "The New Business Association is divided into more than ten departments, among which the largest are the Project Department and the Finance Department. However, these two departments are not open to just anyone. You need to have at least five years of commercial experience or family business experience." "So, apart from these two departments, you can choose any other position as long as it is not a particularly important one. As the person in charge of the personnel department, I can help you arrange it properly. However, I stilI suggest that you stay in the personnel department. We can take care of each other, just like Leo, who is my assistant!" After speaking, Lyrick moved the job position form from the table to Leon's front. Leon picked it up and looked at it. The positions on the entire form were clearly divided from top to bottom. However, since the branch had just been established, many important positions were still vacant and needed talents urgently. Moreover, Leon even found a department witha very special name on the form. He couldn't help but put his finger on it and asked, "What is the purpose of this Investigation Department?" When Lyrick saw the department that Leon mentioned, he explained solemnly, "The Investigation Department was personally established by President Godfrey for internal self-inspection. Any employee within the business association who violates the rules will be punished, even dismissed." Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but nod slightly and secretly admire Godfrey. The establishment of this department was indeed helpful for the good operation of the business association branch and could also form internal deterrence! "However, from the list, it seems that the person in charge of this department has not been selected yet. Is there no suitable candidate?" Leon asked straightforwardly. Lyrick shook his head. "This department is not something that the personnel department can make decisions about. They must undergo a background check by the Chamber of Commerce, followed by a series of assessments, and finally be interviewed by President Godfrey himself!" Coco interjected, "In accurate terms, this department is a direct subordinate of President Godfrey, and the person in charge of this department has almost unlimited power!" Leon's tone changed slightly. "From the list, it seems that this department is almost fully staffed, except for the position of the person in charge, right?" Sensing Leon's change, Lyrick widened his eyes and said, "Leon, my friend, you're not thinking of going for the interview for the person in charge of this department, are you?" Leon calmly smiled. "Can't I ?" Coco couldn't help but sneer, "Leon, have you lost your mind? Countless people are vying for this position, but they have no chance. Moreover, because of the special nature of the position, it is Godfrey himself who conducts the assessment and interview!" "Cough, cough, cough, Leon, my friend, why don't you arrange to be a clerk in the personnel department?" Lyrick advised, but in his heart, he didn't think Leon had the ability to pass Godfrey's personal assessment. Moreover, Leon came from Cuba and had no qualifications in this regard. In this respect alone, he was definitely not qualified! Before Lyrick could continue to persuade him, Leon stood up and said firmly, "I want this position. Do you know how the interviewW process works? If possible, can you help me inquire about it, brother-in-law?" "Huh?" Lyrick was stunned. "Leon, have you had enough fun? Don't cause trouble for your brother-in-law," Coco was angry and secretly cursed Leon for being brainless and talking big. Leon's smile did not change, and his expression remained calm. "As the saying goes, the capable ones will take the place. How do I know if I don't try?" In fact, before coming to Kealonia, Leon didn't plan to let Godfrey know So Soon. But judging from the internal organization of the Chamber of Commerce branch, it might be more convenient to directly take the position of the person in charge, and it could also supervise Godfrey in reverse, saving a lot of trouble. "Lyrick looked at Leon with a strange expression. Coco slammed the table, looking furious. "Can't you just behave yourself? It's already a privilege for you to be here. How come you have no sense of propriety?" "If my idea is causing you so much trouble, then l'll go find Godfrey myself!" Leon suddenly said something shocking. Lyrick stood up abruptly and quickly stopped Leon, saying anxiously, "Brother, don't be reckless. Breaking into the office is a serious matter. Why don't I arrange it for you myself?" "Thanks, brother-in-law!" Leon smiled and bowed. Coco looked shocked. "Lyrick, have you lost your mind? Are you really going to help him do this? What if it leaves a bad impression on President Godfrey and affects your position in the Chamber of Commerce?" Lyrick quickly tried to smooth things over. "We're all family. Why wouldn't I help him? Besides, Leon has a point. How do we know if President Godfrey might take a liking to him?" "Lyrick, you care too much about your face. This is clearly beyond your capabilities. If I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn't have asked for your help!" Coco regretted her decision. "Brother-in-law just wants to help. It's not about face. Sister, please don't say too much!" Leon looked at Duan Shouming a few more times and began to have a slightly better impression of him. Perhaps Lyrick wasn't as scheming as Stevin had described. He was just a bit simpler and didn't care too much about money and interests. In a way, this was actually a rare and valuable trait. On the other hand, Coco was clearly obsessed with vanity and greed. Not only did she take all of Lyrick's meeting gifts for herself, but she didn't even contribute a penny to buying the house! "When did it become your turn to criticize me?" Coco glared. Lyrick gestured. "Alright, I'II take Leon there. Even if he doesn't pass, I don't think President Godfrey will mind. After all, it was mentioned in the meeting a few days ago that this was a merit-based selection process. Anyone who has confidence can apply!" Coco cursed Leon hundreds of times in her heart and couldn't understand why Lyrick was doing this. She was sure Leon would fail and come back looking defeated. Was Lyrick just trying to save face or was he really that foolish? "You guys can go by yourselves. I can't afford to lose this person. I'll be waiting in the office!"Related Chapters

At the top of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a queue of interviewees outside the president's office. Among them were all young talents and scions of prominent families from the local area of Kealonia. Lyrick had completed the interview procedures for Leon and had joined the queue, standing at the very end. As soon as he arrived, he saw a young man with a grim face coming out of the office, clearly having failed the interview. When the interviewees recognized the young man's face, they were all shocked. "Even Soko failed?" "Light the eldest son of the Light family in Cartel!" "The most important thing i that Soko's father is the new vice president of the Chamber of Commerce in the Kealonia branch!" There was an uproar. It was incredible that someone with such a background had failed, making many people more nervous and panicked. Lyrick held his breath and seemed to have a good relationship with Soko. As Soko walked towards him, he reached out and grabbed him, his face

As Leon walked out of the door, many eyes turned to him. Soko raised his eyebrows, with a slight smile on his lips. "Did you fail?" Lyrick quickly stepped forward, patting Leons shoulder. "It's okay if you failed, after all, you're still young. Stay in the HR department and help me out." "Take some time to familiarize yourself with the job. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and Mr. Godfrey's requirements are always very strict. Failure is normal." Leon looked around and replied calmly, not at all embarrassed. "I have successfully passed and will start my new position from today." The whole room was stunned. Soko's eyes bulged, unable to believe it. As the eldest son of the Light family and with years of family experience, he couldn't pass the test set by Godfrey, but an unknown nobody like Leon could?! This was unbelievable! "It's impossible. How could you pass the interview?" Soko felt his face was lost and his self-esteem was greatly damaged. Lyrick

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Coco sat in the car in the parking lot of the Chamber of Commerce building, still wearing an incredible expression, feeling amazed by everything that had happened throughout the day. No matter how much she pondered, Coco couldn't come to a definite conclusion. The fact that Leon had been promoted and gained the trust of Godfrey was beyond her expectations. After all, Leon held a position of great power, with everyone under his supervision except for Godfrey himself. Anyone who violated the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, even the vice president, would be punished under his watchful eye. Compared to Leon's status, Coco was just a lowly assistant in the personnel department, a world of difference between them. For a moment, Coco's self-esteem was strongly unbalanced, secretly cursing Leon for being lucky enough to have such a high position. Just then, Leon came out of the Chamber of Commerce building, went straight to the car,

"Do you dare?" "Leon, don't think l won't do anything to you!" "If you push me too far, I'll fight you!" Coco slammed the table and stood up, her face full of anger and shame. Lyrick sensed something was wrong and furrowed his brows, asking, "Coco, what's going on?" "Brother-in-law, why don't I tell you? The money you gave her before, she didn't spend a single penny on buying a house. Instead, her aunt and uncle don't even know you did this in secret. I even suspect she's already spent all the money!" Lyrick's, face changed, looking incredulous. Coco panicked and grabbed Lyrick's hand, "Lyrick, let me explain!" "Fine, explain to me. Where did the eight million go?" Lyrick's tone gradually changed. But when asked this question, Coco couldn't answer and turned pale. Lyrick was furious, "Coco, I wanted to marry you, but you did this behind my back. You really disappointed me!" "Lyrick, I promise I won't do it again. Don't be angry, okay?" Coco was scared, afraid that Lyrick Would

Upon learning of Coco's excessive behavior, Stevin remained resolute and impartial. Faced with this situation, Coco was incredulous. She never expected Stevin to take such a stance and even allowed Leon to continue to teach her a lesson. "l am your daughter, Mom!" Coco exclaimed. "How could you let an outsider teach me a lesson?" she continued. "Even if I deserve to be punished, it shouldn't be by Leon, an outsider!" Coco was filled with shame and indignation, while Stevin was furious and immediately slammed the table, rebuking Coco. "Leon is not an outsider, but you, a disgrace to our family's reputation! I let him do it, what's wrong with that?" With that, Stevin signaled for Leon to take action. Without hesitation, Leon drew his belt from his waist and began to lash Coco. The sound of the belt striking Coco's body echoed throughout the hall. Her eyes widened in pain, struggling to breathe as her face turned pale. Stevin's face was stern and she commanded, "Continue.

"Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr

"Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

"What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

"Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh
