After exiting the Dynasty Villa underground parking lot, Lucas glanced at the rear-car rearview.
In the mirror looks the reflection of a black Audi SUV.
With such simple tracking skills, how did this fellow manage to keep up with him?
Lucas sighed helplessly, the look on his face implying disgust. He turned the steering wheel, slowly drove towards the main road, and just as the traffic light was about to turn red, he suddenly stepped on the gas, successfully getting rid of the Audi SUV that was following behind him.
It was past noon when he arrived home, changed into a clean and tidy suit, and got ready to go to the company. Suddenly, his phone rang. It was a call from his assistant, Owain.
Lucas brought the phone to his ear and spoke briefly, "Please."
"Something unexpected happened to Mr. Mario." Owain had worked under Lucas' command for many years, being a capable subordinate and understanding of Lucas' temperament. He knew that Lucas was an assertive person, so reported without elaboration, "He wants to change the location of the cooperation negotiations next week in the City of Folania."
Folania City is a small town located close to Naza City. To develop tourism, the city has planned and built a large-scale cinema and television city that was just inaugurated a month ago.
After listening to the report from his assistant, Lucas sighed. He understands why Mr. Mario wants to change the location of negotiations to the city of cinema and television.
Mr. Mario, who is actually named Mario, is the head of the marketing department of a shopping app platform. He does not have a high position, but has great power, because all brand collaboration must go through him.
"Electronic Dilware" is currently working on a market expansion project, and cooperation with a shopping app platform under Mario's authority is crucial for the implementation of the project. Otherwise, the CEO will not personally participate in the negotiations.
Mario, who is in his early forties, is a strong-bodied man with intelligence as his main feature. Aside from smoking and drinking, one of her other favorites is beautiful women, especially glamorous female celebrities.
If you see Marioini might accompany a starter in the city of cinema and television on Saturday next week. He would not have time to return to Naza City for negotiations. Instead, he simply ordered Lucas to go to the city of cinema and television, as if calling a minister at the emperor's court.
Lucas felt helpless, but he had no choice. Ultimately, the project is more important, and their families are also in fierce competition with the platform. Who will come out as a winner depends entirely on Mario's policies.
"All right, I get it." Lucas answered in the phone.
Owain said, "I'll change your itinerary immediately."
Owain felt Lucas' anger and felt somewhat uneasy. After hesitating for a moment, he chose honestly, "Um, Mr. Nicholas is not coming today."
Only the head of a platform, dares to call himself "Pak Nicholas" and demands that all company employees call him that. This shameless behavior can only be done by Nicholas Richard throughout the company.
Nicholas Richard ditches blatantly, but not surprisingly for Lucas. He was not surprised or confused at all. He just felt tired and helpless. After taking a deep breath, he held back his anger and said to Owain, "Create immediately an investigation team to thoroughly investigate the work on the main store. Once any problem is found, demote Nicholas Richard, cut his annual bonus, and give a reprimand to all company employees."
"Well..." Owain was well aware that Nicholas Richard deserved such a punishment, as his actions had indeed caused a significant negative impact on the brand's reputation. His negligence in the line of duty was already a minor mistake for him; there were also more serious work errors he did not dare to report to Lucas, such as bribery attempts during year-end audits... But no one in the entire company could control Nicholas Richard, let alone dare to do so. He was like a small boss acting recklessly.
After hesitating for quite a while, Owain chose to be honest once again, "Sir Lucas, is it appropriate to issue a reprimand to the entire company? It probably won't be welcomed by the Chairman."
He was a loyal subordinate, which was why he blatantly reminded Lucas of the matter.
Lucas of course understood what Owain meant.
Pt Chairperson. Dilware is also named Wu, with the full name Revan Richard. He is the biological father of Nicholas Richard and the stepfather of Lucas.
But Lucas did not change his mind. He simply replied, "I'll take responsibility if things don't go well."
...
A week went by quickly, and on Friday morning, Jennifer woke up, refreshed, and made a filling breakfast. After eating, he started packing his things.
During the day, Fidelya would come to pick him up and take him to the newly built city of film and television in Folania City. They did not go there for a vacation, but to join in the production of the film.
Although she had no intention of getting into the entertainment industry, if she wanted to return to the stage, she needed to hone her acting skills. After all, it had been three years since she had last acted, and she needed to re-enter the flow. So, he asked Fidelya to help him find a suitable script and role.
The requirements are not high. It didn't matter whether the role was important or her salary was high; she just wanted to improve her acting skills.
