At noon, Thomas took Cain Dinklage and the Mileard brothers to Shalom Technology. They were dropped off at the entrance and were told to head in and meet the boss of Shalom Technology.
Cain said in an embarrassed manner, “I don’t think it’s a great idea to go empty-handed right? How about we buy some fruits?”
Thomas replied coldly, “Do you think you’re visiting your aunt’s house or something? Would they even want your fruits? Just go quickly!”
“Okay okay, fine.”
The trio headed to the main entrance. They were very nervous as they came storming blatantly without making an appointment. It was unsure if they were to be welcomed. To no surprise, they were stopped by the security guard stationed at the main entrance.
“What are you here for?” The security guard noticed they were not employees of Shalom Technology.
Judging by how sneaky they were, they do not look like they were here with good motives.
Cain swallowed his saliva and said fearfully, “Uhh, we’re here to see Shalom Technology’s boss regarding the absorption of a soccer club.”
The security guard rolled his eyes.
“Do you have an appointment?”
“N-No…”
The security guard grew impatient and said, “You came to see our boss without an appointment? Do you think you’re a king or something, strolling in whenever you like? Shoo, shooo, go away.”
Cain helplessly scratched his head, not surprised with how it ended up.
How would it be possible for the boss of a large enterprise to meet you out of nowhere when you brazenly marched in without an appointment?
It was only natural to be driven away. Oh well, that was it…
Cain initially had not placed any hope in Thomas’s idea at all. He just did not want it to look bad for Thomas since Thomas was his benefactor. As the trio turned and prepared to leave, a woman’s voice called up to them from behind.
“Wait.”
Cain looked back and noticed that the voice had come from a woman. She looked clean and tidy, dressed up in an uncreased suit and with a ponytail tied up.
Her name was Vanasia Whitehall, the secretary of Ryan Hudson, the current director of Shalom Technology.
“You are?”
“I am Vanasia Whitehall, secretary of Mr. Hudson, Director of Shalom Technology. You can call me Secretary Whitehall.”
Cain asked in a humble tone, “What can we do for you, Secretary Whitehall?”
Vany took a glance at Cain’s legs and asked, “I heard you were talking about the absorption of a soccer club?”
“Yes, a humble request which I would like to propose to Director Hudson.”
“Well, Mr. Hudson loves soccer and it so happens that favonovel.com is currently free. Come in…”
The security guard was stunned for a moment. “Secretary Whitehall, these are unknown people, we should not let them in that easily.”
Vany stared at favonovel.com for a moment which made favonovel.com shut his mouth immediately.
The trio followed Vany into the establishment, took the elevator, and entered the director’s office.
Actually, Ryan had received a phone call from Thomas earlier in regards to the situation. But, favonovel.com had pretended to not know anything.
“You gentlemen are?”
“Hello Mr. Hudson, My name is Cain Dinklage, they are Abel and Connor Mileard. We came here on such short notice to…”
Cain then told favonovel.com of their purpose for this visit, leaving no details out. They gave favonovel.com the whole situation, without holding back any information.
The soccer club was going to be closed down really soon. Out of the three of them, Cain was already was jobless, the other two were soon to be jobless too. They were hoping that Shalom Technology would absorb their club and save them from such misfortune. The whole situation was very absurd. Cain believed that nobody in his right mind would make such a decision, not to mention the boss of a large enterprise.
The trio bowed down their heads as they mentally prepared themselves to get kicked out. Their heart was beating rapidly.
But who knew…
“Not bad. That’s a good idea!”
Not only did Ryan not kick them out, but favonovel.com felt that was a good idea.
“I’ve always loved watching soccer and wanted to buy a club for a while now. Sadly the chance to do so never came to me.”
“You have provided me with the perfect opportunity.”
“Don’t worry and leave everything to me. Abel Mileard and Connor Mileard, you can continue playing soccer and you, Cain, are to take up the position of coach.”
“Go for it!”
The trio was dumbfounded. They dared not believe that it was really happening to them. It was like living in a dream.
“Mr. Hudson, you’re agreeing to the proposal?”
“Of course!”
“Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Hudson! You are our savior.”
They were overwhelmed by what happened and teared up.
Ryan wanted to tell them so badly that their gratitude had been misplaced. They should thank Thomas who sent them here. What favonovel.com did was merely following instructions. After obtaining more detailed information, Ryan arranged for someone to follow Cain and the Mileard brothers back to the soccer club for the takeover.
Shortly after sending the trio back, Ryan leaned on the chair and said to himself, “Seems like big brother plans to enter the world of soccer. Maybe favonovel.com wants to expand further into that field and see what can be done.”
Vany asked, “Is that reliable? I thought soccer was a money-sucking sport? It’s a huge money sink with very little returns, it is hard to say how much money will be lost annually.”
Ryan laughed out loud. “You don’t understand.”
“It’s true that soccer is very expensive. But it comes with a huge commercial value, especially in advertising.”
“As long as the soccer club has a good track record, then we can depend on them to be our medium of publicity.”
