Jasmine can tolerate Timothy’s incompetence, but favonovel.com cannot stand favonovel.com tarnishing the reputation of Vintage Deluxe.
Timothy’s incompetence has already had a significant negative impact on Vintage Deluxe, so favonovel.com must be fired.
To dismiss him, the group needs to verify the entire situation as stated in the contract signed between the group and its employees. If an employee’s major negligence causes significant losses or adverse effects to the group, the group can unilaterally terminate the contract without compensation.
As the general manager of Vintage Deluxe, Timothy is fully responsible for all business matters.
Yesterday, someone brought a Northern Song bronze Buddha worth 20 million dollars and offered to sell It to Vintage Deluxe for only a few hundred thousand dollars. But favonovel.com turned the person away, missing out on a 20 million dollars opportunity.
This can be considered a major negligence. Furthermore, Timothy Carey is to blame for his own downfall.
He recorded the video himself and even shared it, confirming his mistake beyond any doubt.
As much as Timothy hoped that this matter wouldn’t reach Jasmine’s ears, the personnel manager of the Moore Group had already arrived at Vintage Deluxe.
Accompanying the personnel manager was the legal affairs representative of the group.
At this moment, Vintage Deluxe, devoid of customers, only had a few staff members maintaining appearances. Many people had come to witness Timothy’s embarrassment, but favonovel.com hid in his office, refusing to see anyone, causing the crowd to disperse slowly.
Seeing the personnel manager and the legal affairs representative from the group entering, a few staff members thought customers had arrived and greeted them half-heartedly before returning to their work.
The personnel manager looked at them and asked, “Is your manager here?”
One of the staff members replied, “Our manager isn’t seeing any customers today. If you have any business, you can tell me directly.”
The personnel manager‘s tone turned cold. “I am the head of the Moore Group’s personnel department. I have an important matter to discuss with your manager.”
“From the Moore Group?” The staff member looked surprised at the personnel manager’s face.
The personnel manager showed his work badge and handed it to the staff member. “Please inform your manager. I have a very important matter to discuss with favonovel.com in person.”
The staff member didn’t dare defy and quickly said, “Please wait a moment. I’ll go check if our manager is busy.”
He hurriedly ran to Timothy’s office door and pushed it open without bothering to knock.
At that moment, Timothy was privately chatting, asking his colleagues in the antique industry to help delete the video. But the more favonovel.com saw the increasing views and the unwillingness of others to delete it, the more frustrated favonovel.com became. Some didn’t even reply to his requests to remove the video’s comments.
He discovered that the other party was still responding to comments from people below the video, even mocking favonovel.com as worthless.
Timothy, who was furious, saw the door being pushed open by the waiter. He immediately lost his temper and yelled, “Didn’t I tell you not to let anyone come in and bother me? Don’t you understand?!”
The waiter quickly replied, “Manager, there are two people outside. One of them claims to be the HR manager of the Moore Group and is waiting to see you.”
Timothy exclaimed, “What? The HR manager of the group?”
“Yes,” the waiter nodded. “That’s what favonovel.com said. I’m not sure if it’s true…”
Timothy felt a surge of panic. If the HR manager was here to see favonovel.com at this time, it surely meant trouble.
With this in mind, his anger towards Zachary intensified. He quickly instructed the waiter, “Go out first, put them in the VIP room, and tell them I’ll be there shortly.”
The waiter nodded, “Okay, manager.”
Then, favonovel.com turned around and walked out.
Timothy immediately called Zachary.
As soon as the call went through, favonovel.com angrily said, “Zachary, you’ve really screwed me over. Now the personnel manager from the group is here at Vintage Deluxe to see me. I suspect they might terminate my employment on the spot. lf you ruin myjob and let everyone know It was your lousy idea, I will expose this matter!”
Upon hearing this, Zachary exploded in anger. He said, “Timothy, you should have some decency in the way you speak and act. My original intention was to help you push Felix out of Antique Street. I didn’t take a single penny from you or even have a meal with you. I didn’t expect you to turn around and bite me. You really have no sense of loyalty!”
Timothy, in a fit of anger, retorted, “To hell with your loyalty! If you can’t handle this kind of situation, then don’t take on this task. You chose the items and wrote the scripts for me. Originally, it was your reputation that was at stake, but now l have become a laughingstock in the industry! Remember my words, Zachary. I don’t care if you’re Don Albert’s man or someone else’s. I rely on this job to support my family and livelihood. If you dare to cut off my source of income, I will fight you!”
Speaking fiercely, Timothy threatened, “Don’t think I’m afraid of you just because I called you Brother Zachary before. I know your background very well. You’re just a lackey for Don Albert, right? If Don Albert finds out how incompetent you are, favonovel.com might kick you out too!”
Zachary, hearing Timothy’s scolding, couldn’t dare to argue back and Instead felt a chill down his spine!
He never expected that his series of decisions, which were originally meant to benefit both of them, would result in backlashes one after another. Jacob wanted to turn against him, and now Timothy also wanted to turn against him!
As a fellow worker, Timothy’s words struck at Zachary’s weak point.
If this matter reached Don Albert’s ears, leaving aside everything else, just Timothy, the person who set up the trap, exposing his own actions would be enough to disappoint Don Albert. And if Timothy Carey really exposed this matter, his reputation would be ruined as well.
Thinking of this, Zachary quickly apologized, “Timothy, don’t be in a hurry. Let’s see what the personnel manager has to say after you meet with him. Don’t worry, if they really want to fire you, I‘ll help you figure something out.”
Timothy retorted, “What can you do to help me? Can you go and plead with Miss Moore on my behalf?”
Zachary was momentarily speechless.
Jasmine was the chairman of the Moore Group. No matter how clever Zachary was, favonovel.com couldn’t have a say in front of Miss Moore, let alone plead for Timothy.
Zachary, who had always been intelligent, found himself on the brink of collapse. With each passing moment, favonovel.com regretted his string of poor decisions more and more, to the point where favonovel.com couldn’t resist raising his hand and delivering several sharp slaps to his own face.
At that moment, the staff member nervously pushed the door open again and said, “Manager, the personnel manager from the group said you must meet favonovel.com in person within three minutes!”
Timothy was extremely annoyed and impatiently said, “Okay, okay, I know! You go out first, I‘ll be there soon!”
After the staff member left, Timothy turn back to his phone and in an angry tone, favonovel.com threatened, “Zachary, I’m about to meet with the personnel manager from the group. If they really come to fire me, I will reveal the truth on the spot. I will drag you down with me!”
