Chapter 255
Nancy was filled with anger. “Don’t deify Annalise, okay? She’s just a doctor. People nowadays hold the profession of doctor in too high esteem. If it were in ancient times, doctors would be physicians with no status. Let’s not talk about Annalise. What’s going on now? With this15-billion-dollar clothing group involved, can your sales surpass Julian?” “No,” Timothy said awkwardly. Nancy became even angrier. “Didn’t you say that as long as you add a few hundred more stores, you’ll have absolute confidence in winning against Julian?” Timothy sighed. “Well, but I really didn’t expect Julian to find a 15-billion-dollar clothing group to collaborate with!” He was extremely annoyed. It was not like he was willing to lose to Julian. “Oh, the incompetent people always have a bunch of excuses.” She would not have supported Timothy in every store if she had known earlier.
She had to wheedle with her biological father twice to get the shop. In the end, Timothy was really useless. Timothy was so angry to be called useless that he wanted to argue with her, but Nancy hung up the phone. “What the hell? Pfft!” Timothy spat at the phone. It was so annoying. He was bullied at both ends. On Alexander’s side, Layla and Tony’s overseas companies also suddenly made a move. Alexander’s sales had always been at the bottom. But his sales had surged in the past two days.
Alexander had become much quieter since the incident with Abigail. If he hadn’t been insisting on selling clothes, others would have thought he was depressed to the point of being indifferent to everything. With the support of Layla and Tony, his sales once exceeded Julian’s. However, Julian exceeded him without in less than three minutes. After that, Julian’s stats kept increasing. Alexander was anxious. He called Layla and asked her to focus all her efforts on increasing sales.
Layla was full of confidence. “Rest assured, it’s win or lose, and I’m going to try to get you to beat Julian in sales. As long as your sales surpass Julian’s, your father can go to Samuel to fight for you.” “Yes,” Alexander replied. On Timothy’s side. His grandfather, Albert, did not look good either. “How did the 15-billion-dollar Group suddenly appear? Who is Trevor Stinson? Can we contact him? If we can,
we just need to find a way to make him temporarily stop cooperating with Julian. That way, even if we can’t get him to cooperate with us, we still have a lot of hope.” Timothy sighed and wanted to give up.
“Grandpa, I’ve been too tired these days. Maybe I’m really not cut out for it.”Albert was exasperated. “Timothy, how could I have a grandson like you? Huh? How much did I pay to get you up there? I roped in the third branch and bribed the company’s executives. After persevering for so long, you’re telling me you’re not cut out for it?” Timothy was particularly depressed. “But Grandpa, as you can see, our sales can’t surpass that of Julian.”
“If we can’t surpass his, we’ll think of a way.” “What else can we do? Nancy has won so many shops for us. In the end, we’re still outdone.” “When the race is not decided, anything is possible.” “There are only a few days left. There’s no way we can counterattack.” “If we can’t counterattack, we think of a way to make a counterattack. If we run out of time, we find a way to buy time.” “Samuel and Julian won’t agree.” Hmph, I’ll make them agree!” Albert said. Timothy’s eyes sparkled.
Albert went to look for Samuel. Coincidentally, Annalisé and Julian had come to Samuel too. Annalise came here to get her flat shoes. Julian had bought her several pairs before. As soon as they arrived, they saw Samuel scolded Albert with a sullen face, “Don’t even think about postponing the quarterly meeting. Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it just that Timothy’s performance isn’t good, and you want to buy time so that he can continue to improve his clothing sales?” There was a word in his mind that he didn’t say. “Wasn’t it because you couldn’t bear to see Julian officially succeed as president of Parks Group?”
Despite Samuel’s sullen expression, Albert still continued to persuade him, “Samuel, the quarterly meeting on December 20th is unreasonable. It is not only a quarterly meeting but also an annual meeting. How can we make an year-end summary before the end of the year?” Old Mr. Parks said, “There are 365 days in a year, and we only make a summary ten days in advance. Your performance can’t exceed his in 355 days, and you think you can exceed him in the last ten days?” “Samuel, other companies make their summaries at the first month of the next year. Why don’t we change it to the firstMaterial © NôvelDrama.Org.
month of the next year too?” “No way!” “Samuel, you are afraid that Julian won’t be able to win, aren’t you? In the end, you still don’t have confidence in Julian. If you don’t have confidence in Julian, how can we have confidence in Julian to run the entire Parks Group?” Albert said. “You don’t need to have confidence in him. All decisions of Parks Group are up to me. I can make all decisions for Parks Group.”
“Look, you’re being autocratic again. Samuel, we were also investors back then although you have the final say of Parks Group, weren’t we?” “Let’s do as Albert says and move it to the first month of the next year, Julian said as he walked in. Everyone looked at Julian. He continued, “There’s no problem with rescheduling it to the first month of the next year, but I want Albert to promise me something.” “What is it? Tell me.” Seeing that Julian had relented, Albert immediately struck while the iron was hot.
“According to you, the fourth-quarter meeting and the year-end summary meeting will be rescheduled to January 15th of next year. At that time, if Timothy loses, I want you and your branch out of the group’s management altogether,” Julian said. “What do you mean?” Albert looked quite pale. Julian said, “It means that if Timothy loses, everyone in the second branch will resign from Parks Group. Except for getting the year-end bonus, you are not allowed to participate in any management affairs.” “You!”
“Albert, there must be rules for everything. If you want to change the rules, you have to pay a price. The past two years have been very noisy. I don’t want a group of people to criticize my decisions after I officially succeed the president of Parks Group,” Julian said calmly. “You!” “Albert, you can take your time consider it. I’m not in a hurry. After all, my sales are much higher than Timothy’s.” Julian led Annalise upstairs with his arm around her shoulders
“I accept!” Albert said to Julian’s back. Julian did not turn around. He just said calmly, “You’ll have to discuss it with Tony!” After all, Alexander was also a participant. Albert immediately called Alexander, who agreed without hesitation. After all, his sales could not exceed Julian in the next few days. He was
also anxious! The summary meeting would be moved to January 15th of next year, and there would be plenty of time. There were more than 25 days left. Time passed quickly. Just as Annalise was having a pregnancy reaction, Old Mr. Xander’s birthday party began…
