The Hero

Chapter 227 You're Running Out of Opportunities

The president is now panicking because he will get into big trouble when the complaint reaches the top of the chain of connections he built years ago only reaching the district branch at most. Plus, they're not that strong yet. So, if the complaint is directly reported to the head office…

Next to him, the vice president, who was the right hand of his trust, was trying to help him ease his worries.

“Don't listen to him, Mister! He's just bluffing! The head president deals only with large clients with billions or trillions of dollars or more. There was no way he would pay this little bit with those few millions of dollars! Don't worry, everything will be fine!”

However, the president angrily scowled. "You know nothing."

'He could pay 600 million dollars so easily, so don't you think it would be very easy for him to have billions or even trillions of dollars on his behalf?!'

Without noticing the fat vice president, the president approached Javier once more.

He smiled and said, “You don't have to do this, sir! This is no big deal anyway. Plus, I'm not saying I won't help you! Rules are meant to be broken, so I can definitely try and think of something!”

Javier laughed happily. “Did you just remember that rules are meant to be broken? You don't think of that when you want me to pay more money, do you? Tell me, how many more million dollars do you expect me to transfer before you give in to my demands?

Javier's question made the president feel ashamed, because the former revealed his thoughts. The president now feels helpless and out of options.

Behind Javier, Sally was overjoyed as she watched the president and vice president get into trouble.

However, he did not dare to reveal it in his expression. After all, the two of them were her superiors, and she needed to make sure that she would not be their target again later on.

While Sally was still deep in thought, the speechless president suddenly turned around and lectured Roy.

“Didn't you say you'd jump like a rabbit? Quickly and finish, or the Millenia Supermarket will completely vanish!”

Roy had been used to his arrogant behavior for a long time, but he never thought he would meet someone even stronger than him.

Hearing how much money Javier transferred to the bank was enough to make Roy feel afraid, all his arrogance is now gone from his body.

So, now that even the president had given up, it was only natural that Roy would not even dare to try and show another ounce of arrogance.

Although it was very embarrassing to jump like a rabbit and sing a children's song while doing so, it was still much better than making the Millenia Supermarket fall!

After he made this decision, Roy hurriedly crouched on the floor and raised two fingers while jumping around like a rabbit.

Seeing even Roy do it, there was no longer any hope for the vice president, who had no choice but to do the same thing once again.

When the vice president jumped up near Javier, the latter narrowed his eyes smiling and said, “Hey, stop jumping for a bit. I've got a question for you. Didn't you say I can't do anything I want even if I'm rich? Well, tell me ... Can I do whatever I want?

The vice president was over 50 at the time, which was why he felt so unhappy now that he had to smile shyly in front of Javier while listening to the tone of the latter as he spoke.

However, no matter how unhappy her feelings were, she had no choice but to keep smiling. He had to undergo that torment no matter how much he wanted to cry or explode from anger.

Therefore, he smiled flatteredly and said, "Yes, of course you can."

The fact that he used a flattering tone when talking to Javier was enough for him to know how embarrassed he was at that moment without even having to look at himself in the mirror.

'I have to bow my head and admit my mistake in front of so many staff members. Plus, I even have to jump around like a rabbit!

'But if I could keep my job as vice president by doing something this shameful, it would all be for naught!

Unfortunately, the vice president took it for granted at the time.

The president smiled at Javier and said, "Master, do you think you can cancel the phone call to the head president now?"

Javier happily waved his hand. "Enough. I can't stand to see you, the vice president, and certainly not Roy. I've given you plenty of opportunities, haven't I? Yet none of you seem to have appreciated it. The two of you continue to commit arrogant acts in front of me, while the latter tries to cheat my money.

“Well, I will bring this whole ordeal to the attention of the superiors. You three can decide what you will do about your situation, but it is too late to regret your actions now.”

It was a phone call from the district branch director.

The president put on a serious expression while the person on the other end said, “That's great! I've been in the industry for a long time, but the head president never remembers my name. As for you, you were only three years in your position, but he already remembered your name. In fact, he even named you specifically. Just incredible!

“Because of your incredible performance, you can stop being president now! Also, get your vice president fired immediately and see if he can find a better job elsewhere.

“If he cannot...who in the world would refuse such a big client, hmm? The chief secretary of the president personally called me, saying that the chief president was very angry when he received the complaint. He even said that the reason our sales target has not been able to rise completely is because of fools like you!

“Alright, I don't have time to waste you anymore. The headquarters has received a fax, which I'm sure you have also received. That's it!”

From the beginning, the president did not even say a word. He was eventually kicked out of his position.

At first, he thought the headquarter would consider his huge profits and the sales targets he achieved. But he lost his throne!

Next to him, the vice president was so shocked that he fell limp on the floor. After all, if the president is completely ignored and removed from his position, he is in much deeper trouble.

“This is all fate wrong! It was fateful that I had to make the stupid decision that ended up killing me!

Then, one of the staff members brought the fax, who had received a memo sent by the headquarters, ordering the two to stop all the work they had. Moreover, the two of them were removed from their original positions and had to wait for someone from the district branch to deal with them.

So, in the end it wasn't just a phone call.The headquarters had even issued an official memo, cutting off all the safety nets the two of them might have.

Roy thinks he still has a chance. After all, he was not a bank clerk, so the bank couldn't do anything to him.

'Although the bank can break capital ties with my family's supermarket, it's not done yet! I still have a chance!

Therefore, Roy once again jumped on the floor and begged for Sally's forgiveness.

“I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I was wrong before! You can slap or kick me as much as you want. Please forgive me!”

Roy thinks he's a bit smart to be able to say that Javier only punished him for Sally, so he thinks Javier will definitely forgive him if Sally does.

However, the fact was that he was too arrogant before, so Sally was not even willing to pay attention to him.

After begging for a while, Roy became even more anxious. His legs hurt a lot, but he kept jumping.

"i'm serious. Please, please forgive me! I won't do it again, so please.”.

At that moment, Roy was like a very pitiful guy, unlike how arrogant and cool he was just a moment ago.

Meanwhile, the revived vice president began to apologize as well, hoping Sally forgave her mistake. In fact, he started to jump around like a bald old rabbit.

When they both do, even the president begins to do the same, begging for Javier and Sally's forgiveness.

The main client lounge had completely transparent windows, so everyone could see the three of them jumping around as they pleaded for mercy.

Thus, the entire audience clapped and cheered, overjoyed that these normally arrogant fellows were now in a dangerous position.

However, no matter how much the three jumped, Javier still would not give up.

Indeed, the man from the district branch arrived two hours later, surprising both the president and the vice president.

As for Roy who had not been punished, Javier patted his head and said, “Keep being arrogant. I'll wait to see if you'll still commit such an act after the Millenia Supermarket goes bankrupt."

After saying that, Javier turned around and instructed the people from the district branch, “Decide all capital ties with the Millenia Supermarket. I will never let any of their outlets in this district remain operational. Did you hear me? Never was!"
