The sun was high in the sky, and the sky was clear.
It was rare for Thomas to come to Stellar Jewelers. He walked into the office of the branch manager, Benjamin.
As soon as Thomas came in, Benjamin’s expression turned ugly. He could not forget the last time favonovel.com lost a bet with Thomas and ate instant noodles upside down. He would remember this grudge for a lifetime until favonovel.com completely defeated Thomas.
“I’ve been urging you for so long. Why are you so late?” Benjamin said irritably.
Thomas looked at favonovel.com coldly and did not answer.
For such deliberate provocation, any explanation would be superfluous. It would only make the other party think that you were just making an excuse.
Seeing that Thomas did not plan to explain himself at all, Benjamin became bored as well. He had a cold expression and said, “I called you over today to assign you a task.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com handed over an account book to Thomas.
“According to the requirements of the Milan headquarters, we need to purchase a batch of rough stones in Southland District and send them there.”
“The price has been negotiated. You can directly pick the goods up. After that, send this batch of goods out of customs. It’s easy, isn’t it?”
It was indeed easy. It was just an errand, and everything had been done in advance.
All Thomas had to do was to pay the bill, pick up the goods, and send the goods to the customs. Then, favonovel.com could come back with a report after the goods were sent.
It was not difficult at all. He could ask any single person to do it. So here came the problem. Why was Thomas, the purchasing manager, required to do such a simple and easy job?
Was this not the gross underutilization of a great talent?
Was it possible that Benjamin saw Thomas lazing about all day and deliberately found something for favonovel.com to do?
Thomas picked the account book up and said nothing. Then, favonovel.com turned and left the office.
Looking at Thomas’ retreating back, Benjamin whispered, “Why are you being so arrogant? I’ll let you be all proud and smug for a while. When you send the goods to the customs, you’ll know what it meant to be up the creek without a paddle.”
He lowered his head and took out a package from the drawer. Then, favonovel.com hid it in his pocket with a smirk and walked out of the office quietly after that. He put the package on the bookshelf of Thomas’s office when there was no one.
“Thomas, I wonder how you’re going to explain yourself this time round.” He got happier as favonovel.com thought.
Benjamin secretly walked out of Thomas’s office. Then, favonovel.com sent a text message to Weiss. There was only one word, which was “it’s done”.
Benjamin was an important pawn in this plan. Although favonovel.com and Weiss had a very unpleasant quarrel because of the last incident, favonovel.com could endure the discontentment in order to get rid of Thomas. This had all been done to get rid of Thomas.
At that moment, Thomas was still completely unaware. He took his subordinates and drove three trucks to the rough stone market. He successfully met the boss, Adam Hayman.
“Hello, Mr. Hayman. I’m Thomas Mayo, the purchasing manager of Stellar Jewelers. Our company should have a purchase agreement with your rough stone market. I’m here to pick up the goods.”
Adam nodded. “Haha, I’ve been waiting for you guys.”
The agreement between Adam and Thomas was concluded in prompt order. After getting the money, Adam gave Thomas the rough stones, and there were three trucks of them.
Looking at a large number of rough stones, Thomas could not help but frown. According to what favonovel.com sensed from the rough stones, the quality of the rough stones in these three trucks was very low. They were basically the worst rough stones, so there was no use sending them to the Milan headquarter. But looking at the price, Thomas could roughly understand why.
These three trucks of rough stones were only being sold for six million dollars in total. For rough stones, they were simply sold cheaply. The rough stones which could be sold at such a cheap price could not be top-quality rough stones, of course.
