The door closed. Susan and Manuel stood together in the elevator, with no one to speak, the
atmosphere being a bit stiff.
"Why did you assign work on the weekend?" Susan broke the ice since she couldn't bear the
suffocated atmosphere.
Manuel didn't answer.
"Are you trying to get back at him?"
He still made no answer.
"Manuel, I hope you do not mix personal matters with work." Seeing that she seemed invisible in
Manuel's eyes, Susan got kind of annoyed.
"You outrank Henry now, but the tables will turn; maybe he will get ahead of you in a few days. You
should be clear that Phillips Bank is the business of my family, which my father will never give to an
outsider. "
Manuel just listened, making no reaction.
"Manuel Johnson!" Susan was furious, "Have you lost your tongue? How dare you ignore me?"
"Because I don't know how to answer."
"Then you assented to it, yeah? What I said is right, and you have run out of ammunition."
"Whatever you say," said Manuel nonchalantly. His lukewarm attitude drove her crazy.
"You are a plague! Martina will dump you sooner or later!" She grounded out between clenched teeth.
Manuel kept his eyes on the numbers on the elevator screen. When the door opened, he strode out,
not being disturbed by what she said. Seeing him out, Susan followed him angrily, only to find that it
was the basement. Shit! She was almost driven wild. She should have arrived on the ground floor to
call a taxi. Henry said he would work late and let her go back home first. For fear of disturbing Henry,
Susan decided to take a taxi home, as she dared not to drive herself. However, now she was in the
basement garage due to Manuel's disturbance-it was no big deal, but it angered her so much that her
face went red, especially when the black car drove past her. Susan couldn't help but scream, setting off
all the car alarms in the garage. She went back into the elevator sullenly. While angry, it occurred to her
that Manuel had just left without any crutch. The menace recovered so fast!
...
It was Monday. Hannah had just sat in her office when Manuel's phone call came, "Henry is on the way
to court."
Last night, Henry called him and said he would sue Sawyer Group for fraud this morning. He made
another phone call to him just now, saying that he had filed a petition, and the court would accept it and
launch an investigation within this day.
"That's good." Hannah nodded. She had already known that Manuel was a reliable man.
Putting down her cell phone, Hannah looked at Rose, "How is the international e-commerce project
going?"
"Pretty good. We've begun the pilot marketing, it's been going quite well. The convenient process of
placing an order and localization have getting some excellent feedback. Here's the data."
Hannah took the data reports and smiled. Bewildered, Rose couldn't figure out why they should give
Sawyer Group such a good marketing scheme!
Hannah said, "Rose, contact Sawyer Group, saying that I want to talk about the wide extension of the
international e-commerce project. Meanwhile, you make an appointment with Mr Jones for a video
conference."
"OK." Rose nodded. Though puzzled by the project, she just listened to her boss.
Ten minutes later, Rose knocked at the door and entered, "Ms Hannah, I have set an appointment with
Sawyer Group and Mr Jones. Sawyer invited us to consult the matter at their company at 10 am."
"All right," Hannah agreed immediately, "Tell Tan we'll start in twenty minutes."
"OK." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
They arrived there at 9:50 am and walked into the superior meeting room at 9:55 am. Lee, Charles and
Martina were inside, showing that the Sawyer family was serious about the video conference with Bills,
as it was only Martina who negotiated with Hannah before.
They connected the video call with Bills at ten strictly. After exchanging the usual greetings and small
talks, Hannah got down to business, "After opening up the international e-commerce channel, we
chose some regions as test-beds and invited many users who had online shopping demands through
precise data analysis. 2, 0000 people took part in this pilot marketing, 2, 000 of whom made an actual
transaction, a turnover rate of 10%. We followed up with these clients with real consumption, of whom
98% were satisfied; according to those who didn't make a transaction, 80% said they didn't find the
right products. The client reviews suggest that a wider variety of goods is our subsequent direction of
improvement. Based on my analysis report, I think it is time to launch a comprehensive promotion of
the international e-commerce."
"I agree," Bills took position first, "I have read Hannah's report, it gives a profound analysis. I agree with
her that it is the right time for overall branding."
"I agree, too," Lee took position subsequently.
"Since both Mr Jones and Sawyer Group endorse it, I'm going to introduce another scheme that I want
to promote nationwide…"
Hannah fully briefed them on her scheme. It was so perfect that Charles, who was always too arrogant
to admit any greater person than him, was convinced she was abler than him. Seeing her serious look,
Charles perceived that he could only get a feel for her charm when he worked closely with her. Charles
used to take her as a dull, rigid, upper-class woman who would never surprise him and never have an
independent mind. He looked down on her and always bossed her around then. Charles couldn't
imagine that she would become so dazzling and unattainable one day. He tried to behave as coldly as
possible, to restrain his admiration, even affection, for Hannah.
After reporting her scheme, Hannah said, "At last, let me brief you about the use of funds. I have
shown you the details of the early funds and got your signatures. The expenses needed at the next
stage are expected to be around 300 million…"
As she said this, the door was pushed open, and three uniformed men burst into the meeting room,
"Judicial authority. We are investigating the case where Sawyer Group obtained loans by cheating."
