"Don't be alarmed. Please inform Noah if you are a victim of bullying. The issue may be brought to my attention if he does not remedy it." Henry was reminded of himself by Benjamin.
Unfortunately, he had never had somebody stand out for him before.Benjamin happily nodded his head. He was a quiet person. He raised his chin in an attempt to show others that he was worthy of Henry's faith.Being able to lean on one another was a welcome feeling for them both.His mind wandered as he surveyed the approximately two-hundred individuals around him."When was the last time you got a raise?" Henry inquired."A few years ago. Since Donald was promoted to vice general manager, our salaries have remained flat. To reduce our pay and keep our wages at bay, he enacted several rules at work." An employee with a lot of experience mentioned it right away."Benjamin, please correct the staff regulations and erase all unnecessary terms." Benjamin immediately rushed to the office to update the rules for staff members."It is my duty as the new president to ensure that the hotel's history is preserved. In the event that anything goes wrong, I'll have to make it right", Henry said. "I will offer each of you a 25% raise. In addition, each of you will get an additional five thousand dollars from me as compensation. I'll have to pay for it out of my wallet."He said he would pay each of them five thousand dollars. At the most, it would cost him one million. He had a credit card on which he might be indefinitely overdrawn. He couldn't care less about the price he would have to pay. However, the hotel's expenses would go up by 25%. But Patrick had a scheme of his own."This is my second year here. My wages have finally increased!""Five thousand dollars is more than a month's salary! Mr. Anderson, you are so liberal!""Mr. Anderson, thank you for your generosity!"Most employees never enjoyed working for their employers. But there was no way they could detest a generous employer.The audience erupted in applause after being stunned by what they had just heard.Henry saw it as a compliment and motivation."It is everyone's job to help the hotel grow. I can't do anything without you. It's not an issue when it comes to money. You will be rewarded for a job well done!"They stood in position and praised Henry in unison under the instruction of Noah.They fixed their gaze solemnly on Henry."Thank you, Mr. Anderson.""Thank you very much! Mr. Anderson.""Sincerely, thank you, Mr. Anderson."A half-day off was given to every employee, and Henry spent the whole morning in the hotel.Benjamin showed Henry the information in the flash drive.It was reported that Donald had teamed up with a number of suppliers to sell counterfeit wine at inflated costs. Each time he sold anything, he was paid a commission.Henry was also aware of Benjamin's true talent. Despite Donald's scrutiny, Benjamin was able to obtain all the proof he needed.He also handled about 80% of Donald's workload.Without Donald's presence, it was safe to presume that Benjamin would have already been elevated to general manager.There seemed to be no issues with the hotel's operations. At first glance, the hotel seemed to be in perfect order.Prices for cheap food and drink were inflated.Henry slammed his hand on the table with a clenched fist. Donald seemed to have gotten off scot-free.A lot of industrial alcohol was used to spike the phony wine, which made many feel nauseous and worse. Most suffered from stomach perforation.No apparent regard for human life could be seen in his behavior. When Henry saw Donald's actions, he was enraged. He would have to hold Donald accountable.Also, Noah hadn't been aware of any corruption or law violations in recent years, either. As a result, Henry fired him. He requested him to hand over his roles at the hotel to Benjamin.In the end, Henry left everything in the hands of Benjamin and other senior managers. Then, after, he departed the hotel.Christopher surreptitiously monitored Henry and informed George of his findings."First and foremost, he made a name for himself by dismissing the vice general manager. After that, he hired trustworthy employees." When George realized what Henry had done, he was taken aback. "In order to deal with the issue at the hotel, he used a combination of incentives and sanctions. An action-oriented leader with a strong work ethic is his style. That's quite an accomplishment, to be honest.""He's a tremendously driven person, Mr. Anderson," Christopher said. "I told him that he could let the employees handle the hotel. Well, he informed me that anything in life worth doing is worth overdoing.""Overdoing something worthwhile is the only way to get the most out of it. Wow, that's wonderful. You've got a lot of potential, and I didn't want to waste it on him. As it turns out, I underestimated him. Ensure his safety.He may be able to do something that I was unable to."In a hospitalIn bed, Donald awoke from a coma. He was put in a cast and couldn't move. He was unable to place himself in the wheelchair without the assistance of his nurses.He was unable to walk as a result of his injuries. He was only able to control the wheelchair with his hands. Wheelchair tires were left with white scratches after he scraped them with his nails."Damn it! Damn it! He'll have to pay the price for what he's done!"Donald called someone."Mr. White, it's been a long time. Who are you going to deal with this time?""It's Henry Anderson, a young guy. I'll give you further details about him. I want you to take one of his legs. No, take both! I want him to be confined in a wheelchair for the rest of his life!""This guy must have angered you considerably, it seems." The man at the other end of the line laughed."He shattered my leg!" Donald let out a grunt. His bloated figure was bulging out of the wheelchair."We have no say in the matter. We worry about money, you see.""It's not an issue when it comes to money. After it's done, I'll hand out as much cash as you like."At One o'clock at noonAt Stanley University, the sound of the final bell ringing was heard in Room 447.The sun was shining brightly. Although Henry rushed to his class, he was still late.By the time he arrived, the teacher had left, and many students were packing up to leave.The class representative was cleaning the board when she saw Henry standing by the door."Henry, how dare you skip classes? You were not like this before." The class representative, Isabella Isaac, was petite, and always wore her hair in a high ponytail.She was excellent at her studies, and was very kindhearted, so all the boys in the class were fond of her."Sorry, I had something urgent to deal with." Since Henry knew that he was in the wrong, he could not help but smile sheepishly."These lessons are very important. Find me in the library later in the afternoon, and I'll help you."Henry didn't have much interaction with Isabella. They were both equally good at studies, and they were like competitors in c
"Are you making fun of me? How dare you!" Lucas' expression changed all of a sudden."Well, I can easily cross out the records, and the days during which you skipped classes will disappear without a trace. However, it can also happen otherwise."Lucas threatened Henry. It was a trick that always worked for him. Whenever he dealt with a cowardly student, he would threaten them in the exact same way to make them give him all of their money."I am sick of seeing your same old tricks. You're just a loser who likes bullying others by taking advantage of your position as the student council." Henry could not help but find Lucas' threat to be ridiculous."It is true that I don't have any evidence against you right now, but I have people who will do anything as long as I tell them. For example, they will accuse you of fighting or molesting girls." Saying that, Lucas laughed.Upon hearing that, Henry's expression darkened. He had only wanted Lucas to step down.Henry realized that a guy like L
"Okay. I understand." Mr Jones nodded with a bright smile.Henry's name sounded a little familiar to Mr Jones, and he suddenly remembered who he was.Mr Martin had just mentioned Henry, who was not able to get a scholarship anymore because he skipped classes.It seemed like Henry's parents had a target on their backs. If that was not the case, then why would he care about the scholarship?"Well, Mr Martin told me about your scholarship earlier, and I don't think that you made any mistakes, so you can continue to get the scholarship", Mr Jones said with a smile."Sir, I think that you should follow the school's rules, instead of doing things at will, because only then, the students will also feel encouraged." Mr Martin said in a serious tone, standing up from the chair."Martin!" Annoyed, Mr Jones glared at him. Mr Martin was very serious about his job as a teacher, and gave a lot of importance to the school's rules.Perhaps to others, those issues might seem trivial, but to him, they
Henry and Robert were longtime friends. They were aware of everything about each other's past.As such, Robert couldn't believe Henry's words."Don't take it personally, Andrew. Henry must have been drunk from the false wine. Just take the two hundred dollars and bury the hatchet, okay?"Since Andrew hailed from a wealthy family, the two hundred dollars was nothing to him. What he wanted was to embarrass Henry.Everyone in the crowd broke out laughing.After a few seconds, they spotted a guy walking by. There was a collective hush as they dared not glance at the stranger."Great timing, Lucas. Henry said that you'll get expelled." Immediately, Andrew told the guy about the current situation.Andrew smirked evilly as he rested his hands on his hips. He was eager to see what Lucas would do to Henry.The wrath on Lucas' face was palpable. Isabella had approached him and put in a good word for Henry. Initially, Lucas planned to let bygones be bygones. However, it seemed that the man once
At Stanley UniversityIt was time for the morning classes. The affluent student donor was the topic of conversation among several junior students who were seated beneath a tree conversing with one another. Suddenly, their PE instructor caught them skipping class.Afterward, they were made to run four hundred meters as a pre-workout.In high school, they were more engaged in physical activities.However, all they wanted now was for the wealthy student donor to destroy the school's stadium, so it could be transformed into an entertainment center.Henry just grinned at the group of students. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle, working out was necessary. Even if he had the money, he wouldn't do what these youngsters requested.Robert, who was in front of the running students, was in disbelief. He never expected Henry to match his pace with a relaxed expression."Henry, have you been exercising lately in secret?" Robert asked with widened eyes."We must always pay attention to our he
When Henry issued the challenge, the boys around them became interested."What did he say? Is Henry planning to play basketball against Andrew? What is he thinking?""When it comes to basketball, everyone knows that Andrew is known for using underhanded tactics. His dirty tricks outperform his playing abilities.""That's true. Once, he stepped on my friend's foot. My buddy had to go to the hospital because of a broken ankle. It was a horrible scenario."With each passing minute, more students gathered around, and they began to talk about this issue. Andrew flashed a bright grin. He was well-prepared to see Henry make a fool of himself in front of the whole crowd."l accept. However, you have to be careful. Players usually get hurt in basketball" Andrew said, faking his concern."You better remember saying that yourself," Henry said in a cold voice. If he wanted revenge, the best way for Henry was to do the same to Andrew.The basketball court was located in the center of the playgroun
The other students wished that they had recorded the moment when Andrew was defeated.The victims of Andrew's bullying would certainly enjoy watching it.Meanwhile, Henry was still pumped. Adrenaline was still coursing through his body. The match was so amazing that he didn't mind doing it again.What happened was beyond Isabella's expectations. Nonetheless, she still called Mr Martin, the head teacher.The moment Mr Martin stepped foot on the basketball court, Isabella immediately spoke in Henry's defense. His classmates also did the same."I understand that it's an accident. In that case, everyone should go back to their class. How do you feel now, Henry?" When Mr Martin spotted Henry, his voice grew softer.He didn't have to pay for his wife's medical bills anymore. Additionally, the hospital even arranged for her to be treated by a more qualified doctor.Since most of his problems were gone, there was no need for his serious attitude anymore. Otherwise, not only would he be exhaus
Henry looked into other potential suppliers, including well-established wineries and newer, lesser-known wineries.Margaret could get access to all the information she needed. She would get even the most confidential information.For instance, she would retrieve information about the details of making a certain kind of wine or some gossip that might have been spread about a certain bigwig. The price for such information would be higher.Margaret further guaranteed that all the firm's information could be acquired as long as it was based in Stanley, regardless of how huge or small the company was. Although the cost was high, it was well worth it.Henry was confident that there was something more to the operations of Fragrance Tea-house. It was improbable that such a small tea-house would be able to get access to such reliable information.Henry appreciated the calm and fresh atmosphere of the tea-house."'Should l serve you more wine, sir?" a dashing waitress asked politely.The young
