Chapter 580 Conversations in the Offices
The meeting was over.
People left the meeting room.
Henry went back to his office. He hadn't been so happy in a long time. Bob Simonds and a few other
board members followed him back to his office. As soon as they closed the door, they smiled evilly.
"Manuel won't be able to turn the table no matter how capable he is!" Bob said delightfully, "What the
hell does he think he is? Increase the turnover by 50% in half a year? It's a tough task even when
nothing's wrong. Now there is a Sway Group, it'll be a pie in the sky to reach his goal. I've made NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
inquiries. Sway Group would come to Kensbury City in a week, tops. According to their business
routine, they'll start by taking up the market by minimizing their profits. They'll surely take some of the
market shares from Phillips Bank. To estimate, Phillips won't have a growth in the turnover in the
coming six months. And, it'll probably drop by 10%."
Hearing it, Henry couldn't be more excited. He thought he could kick Manuel out of Phillips Bank within
two months.
"Well, it's a real coincidence." Bob said with enthusiasm, "For Phillips Bank, Sway Group will surely
bring us great losses, but there's always competition in the market and we can't always take the lead.
It'll happen sooner or later. Surprisingly, it comes at such a perfect time. I just can't wait to see Manuel
be kicked out of the bank. I'm looking forward to it!"
Compared with Henry, Manuel was an untouchable leader who set firm limits for himself in his tenure,
while Henry was a smooth one who always played all sides. Thus, Henry won more favour than Manuel
among the board.
"We should take it seriously. Manuel is a real piece of work!" Henry reminded.
"So what! What can he do at this point?" Bob smiled and said, "Henry, we'll count on you in the future."
"We'll help each other."
"Look. You're way too modest..."
His office was filled with flattering voices, which had excited Henry a lot.
Now there was a clear plan-he would take over Phillips Bank as long as he kicked Manuel out and won
Edward's trust again.
Manuel returned to his office.
He must admit it was a big challenge for him this time.
Some time ago, he made a great effort to figure out the operation mode of Phillips Bank and find out
how he could work to increase the turnover. Indeed, it was hard to carry on with his plan now since the
advent of Sway Bank.
He needed to keep the existing market shares, which was more difficult for a mature business
operation. Manuel went absent-minded and didn't look as calm and cool as he'd appeared at the
meeting.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door. Manuel blinked his eyes slightly and said, "Come in."
Susan went in.
They looked at each other, cool as cucumbers.
"My father sent me for you. He wanted to see us in his office. It's something important."
"OK." Manuel nodded.
After passing her words, Susan turned around to go out, while Manuel wasted no time and stood up to
catch up. They went in an elevator together. Both of them were quiet as if they were strangers.
Susan had figured out last night that she was flattering herself when she was caring about how Manuel
treated her. She should have known her place. So she looked quite peaceful now.
The elevator door opened. Then they went into Edward's office one after the other and sat down in
front of the office desk.
"I want to discuss the matter on Sway Bank with the two of you," Edward said in a heavy voice.
Susan frowned and complained, "Just talk to Manuel. I don't have any opinion on something like this. I
can't even understand..."
"Then learn SOMETHING!" Edward said seriously.
Susan became upset, complaining about Edward's quick temper at work inside. She was never a girl
who would just grin and bear it. So she yelled at Edward, "Why must I learn? I didn't want to work here!
You made me!"
"Can't you just be a little more ambitious? How can I trust and leave the company to you?"
"It's enough that Henry is capable. Right! Why didn't you send for Henry?" Susan was annoyed.
Edward was mad because of her words.
"Why didn't you send for Henry instead of Manuel? Manuel is not family!"
"Because I deserve to be trusted more." Manuel cut in.
"Hell no!" Susan retorted, "He's here for Phillips Bank only. He wants to have the company all to
himself."
"I would like to see that happen," Edward said bluntly.
Susan glared at Edward.
"Listen or just get out!" Edward felt helpless, knowing that he could do nothing to alter Susan's
personality.
Susan was about to leave. Anyway, she had never prepared to be part of it in the first place.
But she paused her steps when she arrived at the door. She would never know what her father would
talk about with Manuel if she left like this.
She was afraid that Edward would just hand the whole company to Manuel because he was too mad at
her.
She no way would let this happen!
Thinking about it, Susan suddenly turned around and sat down again.
Edward stared at her in anger.
"Well, I'm up to nothing. Anyway, I'll just stay to kill time." Susan said casually.
Manuel spoke, "I've thought about it. If we want to stop Sway Bank from taking up our market shares in
Northfield, the only, the best and the harmless way is to find their weaknesses and control them."
Edward was attracted by Manuel's words and stopped being mad at Susan.
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"I know something about them. Normally, it isn't the best time for them to enter the market of Northfield.
Since they're doing it so rashly, I think we should figure out the reasons first."
