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 full of

surprise. "Soko, why didn't you tell

me you were coming for this

interview?" Soko shook his head

dejectedly. "Although you are in charge

of the personnel department, the

interview for this position is entirely

bypassing the personnel department

and is directly decided by President

Godfrey. It's no use telling you, and

besides, I failed." Seeing this situation, Lyrick couldn't help but feel

nervous and asked, "Does President

Godfrey have any other

arrangements for you?" "Athough I

can't be in charge, due to various

considerations, President Godfrey still

decided to let me stay in the

investigation department. It can be

considered as giving me some face.

What are you here for?" Soko said,

then suddenly shifted his gaze to Leon and showed a curious look.

Lyrick smiled awkwardly, "I

also brought people here for the

interview."

"Who is this?" Soko looked Leon

up and down. Lyrick introduced him

seriously, "This is Coco's cousin,

Leon!"

"So, you're Coco's cousin, but the

position of this manager is not

Something anyone can take." Soko

didn't take it seriously.

Leon interjected, "How do you know if

you don't try? Didn't Manager Godfrey say

that anyone with ability can come?"

"That's true, but I also admire your

confidence. However, once you enter

the office and see Manager Godfrey, I don't

think you'll have the same idea," Soko said straightforwardly.

"Leon, it's good to have confidence,

but Soko has a point. We should be

humble," Lyrick immediately

tried to smooth things over.

Although Lyrick had brought

Leon here, he still believed that Leon didn't have much chance,

especially since he couldn't even pass Soko's scrutiny.

"l'll stay here and see if anyone can

succeed today!" Soko's sat on a chair

in the corridor, looking somewhat

unwilling. Lyrick regained his

composure, pulled Leon's sleeve, and

whispered, "Leon, if you fail this

interview, I'll arrange for you to work in

the personnel department. Just be

obedient."

Leon smiled lightly, "Brother-in-law, I

know you mean well, but please rest

assured, I cannot fail."

Lyrick rubbed his temples

with a headache, "You silly boy, being

too confident is the same as being

arrogant. Besides, you will be assessed

by Manager Godfrey later, so you should be

humble."

"I'm not arrogant, I'm just telling the

truth," Leon remained calm and

composed. Lyrick felt hel pless, but after

some thought, he felt relieved. He

thought this might be an opportunity

for Leon to experience failure and

then be able to settle down.

Time passed.

As each interviewee failed and left, the

atmosphere became increasingly

tense, as if the air had frozen. Some

even gave up before it was their turn,

too afraid to try. Finally, it was Leon's turn.

However, before Leon could even

enter the room, Soko stood up with

a disappointed expression and said, "It

seems like no one has passed the test

today. I've been waiting here for so long

and haven't seen anyone better than

me." Leon smirked knowingly. "I think you can wait a little longer."

Soko crossed his arms and looked

Leon up and down. "Oh? Since you're

So confident, I don't mind waiting a few

more minutes."

"Don't worry, there will be results soon."

Leon replied, then pushed open Godfrey's office door and walked in

confidently.

Soko sneered and looked at the

closed door, shaking his head. "Coco's cousin, Leon, really talks

big."

"Young people are impulsive, don't take

it to heart. I only brought him here for

the experience." Lyrick was

extremely embarrassed.

"In front of others, he can talk big, but

to say it in front of me, Soko? This

guy probably hasn't failed before and

lacks discipline. I want to see what

expression he'll have when he comes

out." Soko was displeased.

The surrounding figures stayed to see

how the last person would fare.

"Soko couldn't do it, and Lyrick's guy probably can't either."

"That kid is really arrogant, I heard it

earlier!"

"Why would Lyrick dare to

bring someone like him to the

interview?"

Hearing the discussions around him, Lyrick felt even more

embarrassed and had the urge to find a

hole to crawl into. After all, he was still

the head of the personnel department.

Three minutes, five minutes, ten

minutes...

Time passed slowly. When it reached

twenty minutes, everyone looked at

each other in confusion.

Soko stood up from his chair and

stared at the office door with a puzzled

expression. "This shouldn't be

happening. Why hasn't he come out

yet? I've only been in there for about

ten minutes."

"Could it be Leon? Did he say

something that angered Director Godfrey?" Lyrick's face turned pale with

fear.

As soon as he finished speaking, the

door opened with a creak.

Leon walked out with his hands

behind his back, moving slowly and

calmly.

At that moment, all eyes were fixed on

him.

    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

    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

    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.
