"Ha huh! Mr. Long is the majority shareholder of Novem Group. He is only responsible for investments, not internal affairs. As such, it is expected that most will not know who he is ", Jackson explained.

"Just be responsible for the investment? Is he a well-known investor, Austin Long - the master of investment? ". A name suddenly appeared in Quinn's mind, which surprised him.

Austin Long - he's the 14th richest man in Aploth. Last year, it was reported that its total assets were worth about 12 billion dollars. The man was a low profile person who rarely appeared in public.

It was unexpected that Travis would cross paths with such a legendary figure.

Jackson nodded his head. "That's right, Ms. York's. Here's a copy of your contract ".

With the contract in hand, Quinn left Novem Group in a daze.

& ltIf I bring this contract back to the office, everyone will definitely get a big surprise. Moreover, Cedric would not dare to suppress and annoy me anymore! & gt

"Travis, you've finally done something useful!" Quinn's happy. He immediately took a taxi and headed to Prism Group. He can't wait for Martha to promote him as president.

At Martha's office in Prism Group.

The elite of the York family have gathered. They were showering a fashionable young lady with compliments.

"Patty, it's been three years since you went abroad to continue your studies. When you left, you were still a young and innocent girl. Now, you have grown into a graceful woman. I need to start looking for a girlfriend for you. Ha ha! " Martha said to him lovingly.

"Grandmother, you tease me again! The main reason I came back is to help you with the company. Where will I find the time and energy to think about other things? " Patty whining.

"You're down, Patty. You graduated from Clearridge University with a Ph.D. Not many people are capable of doing that! We have advised Mrs. York to appoint you as R&D president. In this way, with Cedric in the marketing department and you in the R&D department, the company will reach even higher levels" said an elder from the York family.

"Tante Chloe, I'm just a newcomer. How can I be appointed as President? I'm thinking of training under you in the Human Resources Department to learn the ins and outs before I take that position. After all, you have been President of that department for quite some time; you know how to read people like books and handle tasks skillfully. A nerd like me has a lot to learn from you" Patty said humbly.

"Ha huh! Just based on what you said, you already understand the ways of the world like me. In addition, you have always been obedient and wise since you were a child. If you don't have a good character, Mrs York won't love you too much. Therefore, you do not have to be too humble. You are clearly the only one who is quite suitable to become the President of the R&D Department. Oh, how envious I am of Germaine for having such wonderful children. "

Everyone showered him with endless praise, and Martha also agreed with the crowd. He pulled Patty's hand lightly and said, "Patty, everyone wants you to be appointed President of the R&D Department. Moreover, I believe in your abilities, so from now on, you are in charge ".

"No!" A voice cuts.

"Reserve! What do you mean by that? " someone asked coldly.

It was Cherish York, an illegitimate child of the York family. He was recognized and allowed to return to the York family. However, his status in the family was nothing much, just like Quinn. Hence, the two of them remained united and helped each other, forming a deep relationship.

"Quinn?" Patty dumbfounded. She thought for a moment and said, "I heard that she married a useless person. Does he still work at the company? I've been paying attention to Prism Group for the past three years, but I've never seen it on any show ".

"Hmph! Of course, he would not appear at any important event. He was just a salesman with average performance, his contribution was not worth mentioning. If she hadn't shamelessly stayed in the company and Mrs York didn't care about family ties, she would have long since been fired. His entire family was useless ", ridiculed someone coldly.

"yes too. Appreciate, you're not worried about anything. Someone like Quinn would never be able to get a contract with Novem Group "..

"Why take his words seriously? In my opinion, he only took the opportunity to get noticed at the company banquet yesterday. He's probably brain-twisting the idea of getting out of this situation" Cedric added. Patty was his sister, so she was naturally by his side.

& ltKnock beats. & gt

Someone came knocking on the office door.

"Come in" said Martha calmly as she glanced towards the door.

The office door opened to reveal Quinn.

"My, my... Talk about the devil. What are you holding in your hand, Quinn? "

"No need to be too serious. It is agreed in advance that you will be promoted if you complete the task. If not, of course you will be demoted. Whatever excuse you give, you won't be able to maintain your position. Yes, I know that you would say that it has nothing to do with you and that your useless husband who agrees on your behalf. But that's none of our business. You can only blame your useless husband. Besides, you two were showing off yesterday. You have to take responsibility for that ", Cedric mocked.

He was very confident that Quinn would not be able to complete the task.

"That looks like a divorce letter to me. Anyway, it's none of our business whether you want a divorce. No need to ask permission from Mrs. York's? " Chloe scoffs.

Despite that, Quinn remained silent. He walks past the crowd and stands in front of Martha, handing Novem Group's contract to her. "Grandmother, I heard what everyone just said. It's a Novem Group contract, so are you going to keep Patty as its president? ".

"Contract?" Martha was shocked. He took the documents from Quinn in disbelief. Meanwhile, everyone started discussing the matter with disdainful expressions on their faces.

"A ridiculous lie. Has he ever negotiated a business contract before? Which company would approve it so quickly? "

"yes too. I didn't expect Quinn to use such a despicable means to make a contract ".

"Mrs. York, why don't I help you get through it?. I'm sure that there are a lot of ridiculous loopholes in this contract" Cedric said as he looked at Quinn in disgust.

& How dare you make a contract? You are looking for disaster for yourself. I'll use this opportunity to get you out of the company! & gt
