Alan actually mentioned the government just to suppress Thomas. It was a typical situation where favonovel.com was bribed by other people to come and trouble Thomas. This time, however, favonovel.com had come to the wrong person!
Thomas calmly said, “Mr. Shaw, I think you came here with a mission today. Let’s not make any guesses and get straight to the point. What do you want me to do?”
Alan chuckled. “Okay, you’re still quite smart. Since you’re so sensible, I won’t trouble you. I want you to take the initiative to say you can’t complete the project, and you quit this project. Don’t think about becoming the leader of the alliance now.”
It turned out that this was his purpose.
Thomas sized Alan up. He felt puzzled as favonovel.com asked, “But, it’s you who held a meeting and invited us to do it previously. Why have you changed your mind now?”
Alan said, “It’s none of your business why I changed my mind. You just need to do as I say!”
“Oh? Mr. Shaw, is this what you personally want, or was this decided by the Academy of Social Sciences?”
“Is there any difference? I’m responsible for the follow-up of the project, so what I want is what the Academy of Social Sciences wants!”
Alan looked overbearing and unreasonable. In his opinion, no matter how rich Thomas was, favonovel.com was just a normal citizen. A citizen could not stand up against the government. As long as Alan was willing, favonovel.com still had many methods to subdue Thomas.
The office remained silent for almost twenty seconds.
Thomas finally said, “Mr. Shaw, please don’t mind me talking about it. Our company has invested a large amount of manpower, materials, and money into this project. You can just simply stop it. If you want me to stop the project, you can, unless you return the money that our company has invested.”
Alan said disdainfully, “Why? Do you still want to get money from the government? You’re quite bold.”
He slammed the table and stood up. “I’m telling you now. You’re just an ordinary citizen. If I want you to live, you’ll be alive. If I want you to die, you’ll die. You can’t beat me. I respect you because you’re the chairman of a big company. Don’t be ungrateful.”
“If you make me angry, I’ll destroy the entire Sterling Technology!” He sounded too arrogant.
Thomas quietly stared at the arrogant man and curiously asked, “Mr. Shaw, you’re so arrogant. Aren’t you afraid that your superiors will find out, and they will fire and investigate you?”
Alan must be drunk, so favonovel.com scoffed and said, “Fire and investigate me? Haha! Who can investigate me? I’m a veteran who has worked in the Academy of Social Sciences for twenty years. Besides, will they believe in what you say or what I say? Thomas, I think you’d not be ignorant to find troubles for yourself. I’m giving you three days. If you don’t do what I said in three days, I’ll not be polite to you anymore.”
After favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com broke a chair, turned back, and left. He looked as if favonovel.com was an incredible big guy. But just as favonovel.com walked to the door, the door was opened.
Tigris, who was tall and muscular, stood at the entrance, and favonovel.com angrily glared at Alan. It really shocked Alan. Tigris pushed Alan, and it forced Alan to take a few steps backward.
“What are you planning to do?” Alan felt a little frightened.
He turned back, looked at Thomas, and angrily yelled, “Let me tell you, I’m the civil servant. If you hurt me, that means you hurt the government! Thomas Mayo, you’d better not be impulsive.”
Not be impulsive? He was really not ashamed to say that.
At this time, Tigris suddenly said, “Old bald man, do you think you’re the only civil servant?”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com unbuttoned his shirt, and a star on his body was revealed.
