Iris' actions were extremely unworthy. However, Jorge was so engrossed in a piece of wild ginseng that he did not pay much attention to this commotion. It seems like he supports Iris.
Winifred was startled, her body was riveted, and her feelings became restless. It was a gift that Winifred and Tyr had prepared very carefully to give to Jorge. But in the end it was thrown away like trash.
"Let's eat." After everyone had gathered, Jorge gave an announcement that the meal time had arrived.
All the family members sit together. Initially Winifred and Tyr sat at the same table as Jorge. He was a direct family member of the Zea family, so it was natural for him to sit there.
However, after a while they sat down, Iris covered her nose in an exaggerated manner as she started to nag, "Why is there a sour smell on this table? It looks like this smell came from the trash."
In an instant, everyone looked towards Tyr. This indirectly intended humiliation seemed to justify that Tyr was a beggar, and no one among them would eat at the same table as a beggar.
"Winifred, take Tyr with you and go eat there" Jorge said, pointing to a small table. It was a table commonly used for servants.
Winifred felt sad but she tried to remain silent without saying anything and brought Tyr to move to the small table. After all, he had gotten very used to being disliked for the past few years. However, right now he was deeply worried about Tyr's feelings. "Tyr, if you feel this is too much, you can get out of here."
Tyr shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Wherever you go, I will always be by your side."
At that time, Jorge seemed to be very trying to make a toast with Travis. It was a great honor shown by an in-law to his future son-in-law. Instead, Tyr's existence had been completely despised at a small table in the corner of the room. Even the servants from the Zea family had disgusted expressions visible on their faces.
After sipping wine for a few rounds, Jorge asked his eldest son, Jackson, "Jackson, for a few minutes, I heard that there was someone who had spent ten billion to acquire the city center and now that that person was in Khanh City, is that true?"
Jackson quickly nodded. "Yes, Dad. I've heard this news, too."
"I heard it just happened yesterday. I even heard that this new owner is a young man. He must be a very rich young master of a large local consortium."
A young and very rich man! At the mention of this keyword, the girls present started to soar high due to feelings of excitement. Even Iris' gaze seemed extremely sparkling. Right now they were really anxious to see the extremely wealthy young master who easily spent billions just to buy the city center.
Jorge asked, "Will the city center be opened soon for foreign investment?"
Jackson nodded and said, "Yes. If we are able to obtain an admissions qualification, then we can use that platform to find more qualified partners. If the project is successful, in the next five years, Zea Group will be able to meet international standards."
Upon hearing his words, the entire Zea family became extremely excited. Only Tyr sighed in the corner of the room. It was just a small town center and a place within that area was enough to make these people so excited. They're just like a bunch of ants.
"But Father, the whole town of Khanh and many clothing companies from the south began to pay attention to this city center. It won't be easy for Zea Group to earn a place in their hearts."
Sure enough, inside Khanh City, Zea Group was only a second-rate clothing company. There were already many clothing companies within Khanh City that were on par with them. If they included the entire province and the southern part, there would be too many competitors for them. If the Zea family wanted to stand out, it seemed like it would be very difficult.
Everyone in the Zea family lowered their heads. They were a bunch of ants that would look pale if their existence would be compared to that extremely rich man. Who is the person who has the ability to contact him?
Suddenly, everyone looked towards Travis. Jorge had organized this dinner banquet of course by doing other considerations. His main goal is to get Travis to help him overcome this problem. Travis was the young master of the Jensen Family's Century Herb Pharmaceuticals, and their status and influence in Khanh City far exceeded that of the Zea Group. They are almost the best now.
However, Travis just sat down and looked very calm in the middle of a stressful situation. He never spoke a word. It seems that he has no intention of helping.
Jorge started to feel worried about this state of affairs, but he was a haughty person. He didn't want to ask Travis directly. So, he was making a plan. He turned his head towards Iris, who was sitting next to Travis and said to her, "Iris, you've been doing your job very well in the operations department for the past few years. I heard you always wanted a job as a manager in that department, is that true?"
Iris nodded immediately. "Yes, Grandpa. I think the ability I have will be highly qualified to be in that position.
"But your experience is still a little lacking. If you take that position now, there might be people who would oppose it. However, if you manage to secure a place within the city center this time, it will be a different story."
Of course Iris can understand the meaning behind the sentence spoken by Jorge. The man tries to persuade her to ask Travis for help.
After saying that, Jorge felt that his wish sounded very clear, so he quickly attempted to add to his remark, "I didn't just say this to Iris. This all goes for you guys who are here. To anyone who can secure the place, then I will allow them to get a position they like as long as they have the ability in their field."
After he said that, the gazes of everyone present there looked extremely sparkling. This is a great opportunity to get a promotion and a raise. But in an instant, the flames that were stirring in their hearts began to extinguish. They knew that they had no connections to get to that place downtown. Obviously this was something impossible and he did this just to cover up his intentions from Iris.
At the same time, Tyr caught a hint of longing on Winifred's facial expression. However, that expression did not last long either. It has quickly been replaced with an expression of sadness. From his observations, Tyr could easily understand what was inside Winifred's mind. Winifred, what's your position inside the company?
"I'm the team leader in the design department." Answer Winifred, please,
What is above the team leader?
Of course, Head of department.
Tyr smiled brightly. "So Winifred, do you want to be the head of the department?"
"Being head of department ..." Winifred shudders. Of course, he was eager to get that position. But is that possible? Winifred has been working very hard for the past few years and he also has incredible abilities. He was already qualified to serve as a department head, but Jorge would never give him this opportunity because he was a disgrace to the Zea family.
"Tyr, lower your voice and stop talking nonsense" Winifred told Tyr with a nervous expression. He was afraid that his words would be heard by them. Because when they hear it, the taunts will reverberate in his ears.
However, Tyr had no intention of stopping. He just kept saying, "Winifred, you just heard your Grandfather's words loud and clear. There is only one level of difference between a team leader and a department head. Wouldn't that be considered a reasonable promotion?"
