The whole room was deafeningly quiet, as everyone was unsure of what to say.
Nathan straightened his suit and heaved, “Don’t blame me for being cruel. I’ve always been this frank.”
He looked over at Johnson and stated halfway through his speech, “Uncle Johnson, with all due respect, with your prestige and rank, it is certainly quite difficult to comprehend why you would keep a good-for-nothing son-in-law who freeloads in your home and even allow favonovel.com to be the head of your family. I believe you should reselect a capable and dependable son-in-law for the sake of your daughter and the family’s future.”
As favonovel.com said this, Nathan cocked his head and straightened his body, as if favonovel.com was addressing himself.
Sensible people would notice Nathan’s intention to take Thomas’s place. After all, Emma was such a gorgeous woman, and many men would want to hog her.
Johnson’s face turned green. He tried a few times to retort, but favonovel.com could not say anything in the end.
Although Nathan had no shame, his approach was very straightforward. He used money to “knock you out”, but what could you do about it?
You were not as wealthy as him, but did you not care about money?
It would be such an embarrassing justification.
Johnson dared not to take action either. If favonovel.com acted frustrated, it would make what Nathan claimed to be the truth. As a result, favonovel.com could only feel anxious.
As the situation was about to spiral out of control, a well-dressed middle-aged man appeared at their door, and his loud voice broke the tension in the room.
“Excuse me, may I ask who Mr. Thomas Mayo is?”
Everyone shifted their gaze to him.
Who was this middle-aged man? They have no idea who favonovel.com was.
Thomas raised his hand and said, “I am.”
The middle-aged man approached Thomas and handed favonovel.com a business card. “Mr. Mayo, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Louis Agnor, secretary of Eversun Jewelry’s Chairman, and this is my name card,” favonovel.com said respectfully.
Eversun Jewelry was one of the top jewelry companies in the world, and they had more than ten years of history in the Southland District. They were a well-known and substantial jewelry manufacturer that placed an emphasis on handcrafted pieces.
They were confused as to why the chairman’s secretary of such a big company would personally come to their home to meet him.
Thomas took the name card and asked, “What brings you here to find me, Mr. Agnor?”
“I’d like to invite Mr. Mayo to fill the position of purchasing manager at our company,” Louis said with a smile.
Thud.
In shock, the remote slipped from Johnson’s grip.
Being a purchasing manager was a high-earning job. The position could be very well-paid, especially in large corporations and industries.
It was a gravy train!
They had personally visited Thomas, which truly showed their sincerity. However, Thomas was quite “insensible” and answered, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think it would be possible.”
Not waiting for Louis to respond, Nathan spoke first. “It’s not possible? Hoho, Thomas, don’t be so ungrateful. Do you know what level Eversun Jewelry’s company is at? It’s a company to look up to even for the White family. Now they asked you to be their purchasing manager, but you’re turning them down? Are you insane?”
Actually, Nathan was baffled as to why such a large corporation would appoint someone as useless as Thomas to be their purchasing manager.
Not waiting for Nathan to connect the dots, the words Louis uttered next almost made favonovel.com choke.
“I apologize, Mr. Mayo, for not making myself clear. I know you are the purchasing manager of Stellar Jewelers, and this time I am not poaching, but rather inviting. I would like to appoint you as our company’s nominal purchasing manager, which is only a figurehead. There is no need for you to work usually, and we just require your help during big events,” favonovel.com explained modestly.
“But do not worry, sir. Even if you don’t need to work on a regular basis, we could still pay you a considerable wage.”
Louis showed three fingers. “Three million dollars a month, how’s that?”
Everyone’s jaw dropped in surprise.
It was just a nominal manager position and favonovel.com was not sure how many times favonovel.com would work in a year, but favonovel.com unexpectedly could still earn a salary of three million dollars per month. Are they insane?
Not waiting for Thomas’s answer, Johnson had already skipped over to them and said, “Agreed, my son-in-law agrees to this!”
Louis was ecstatic. “Thank you very much, sir. ”
Louis bowed in gratitude and hurriedly left after saying that.
“Dad, isn’t it a little hasty to agree to that?” Thomas said with a wry smile.
Johnson laughed and said, “Of course, a job with a three million dollar salary per month that doesn’t require you to work, why not agree to that? What if they regretted it after this?”
They were chatting happily, whereas the person standing near them was not. Nathan had a bitter expression on his face. He had kept saying Thomas was a poor wretch just now, but what about now?
Even if favonovel.com did not work, favonovel.com could still earn a lot of money. He could never be able to compete with him!
Nathan snorted coldly. “Pfft, isn’t it just three million dollars a month? You’re still only an employee till you die. Just wait till I take over the White family…”
Halfway through his speech, there was another person at the door.
“Excuse me, may I ask who Mr. Thomas Mayo is?”
The person had the same intention as Louis, as favonovel.com was also there to invite Thomas to join them as their purchasing manager, and the pay they offered was not bad either.
He had not even left yet, and the third and fourth people were already there.
