Chapter 105 The Explanation Jacob, Laurie, and Corey also came to the front. “Ms. Croft, could you please double–check if our names were omitted. from the outsourcing contract list?” Karsyn showed the contract signing form to everyone. “Ladies and gentlemen, a total of seventeen cooperating merchants have been prepared. Each approved cooperating merchant has a contract ready for signing placed on the signing table to the left.” Laurie unwillingly said, “Ms. Croft, please take another look and see if Pacific Realty is on the signing list.” “Previously. Vice President Reginald arfnounced a list of twenty companies, including Pacific Realty, that were entering the formal signing process. Why is it not there now? Isn’t this deceiving?” Karsyn nodded, “That’s right, the Pacific Realty, the Brown Group, and the Walsh Group, are indeed on the list announced by Mr. Aguilar.” “However, these lists were not the final official lists for signing.” “The list of 20 selected today still needs to undergo our group’s final- review and approval before it can officially form a partnership with our company, the Huber Group.” “After the final approval from the President’s office, three companies were deleted.” “These three companies are the Brown Group, the Walsh Group, and Pacific Realty ” “The qualifications of the three of them did not meet the requirements for our collaboration on the outsourcing project of the Eastern Business District by the Huber Group, so a final list of 17 companies was determined.” “After the three companies were removed, the vacant outsourcing projects were directly determined by the President’s Office for their quotas.” “Did I explain it clearly to you? If you are from Pacific Realty, you should understand why your qualifications were insufficient.” Laurie angrily pointed at Karsyn and exclaimed, “You, the Huber Group, are deceivers, contradicting yourselves! Why is our qualification at Pacific Realty not enough? You are just making excuses!” Corey wanted to stop Laurie, but Laurie’s words had already been spoken. Miranda was also angry and said, “This morning we had already passed the qualification review for your company, the Huber Group, and now suddenly you are telling us that our qualifications are not enough. The Huber Group needs to give me an explanation!” Standing behind, Reginald glanced at Robin out of the corner of his eye and whispered to Karina, “Ms. Huber, did you see? What kind of negative impact does this kind of operation bring to the Huber Group?” Karina gave him a cold stare and remained silent.. Reginald saw that Karina was not speaking and he guessed that she must have become worried upon seeing the scene in front of her. Because all of Hallcester’s media gathered outside the signing hall. 11:491 Once this matter was spread, the Huber Group’s negative information about lack of integrity would quickly be spread in Hallcester. This would have a highly detrimental impact on the Huber Group. It could even cause a rapid decline in the stock of the Huber Group. Miranda and Laurie’s words quickly silenced the scene. Everyone in the signing hall knew that if the Huber Group could not provide a reasonable explanation. So, the reputation of the Huber Group would soon suffer a huge loss, thereby affecting the stock market of the Huber Group. Karsyn furrowed her brow slightly and did not answer Miranda and Laurie’s questions. She fell silent for a moment and said, “I think it’s best not to discuss these issues on the spot, in case…” Karsyn had not finished speaking. Laurie believed that the Huber Group could not explain the decision to remove three partner merchants, including Pacific Realty. She immediately exclaimed angrily, “No, I must hear the reasons why the Huber Group excluded us, otherwise it’s not over!” “If we don’t get a reasonable response from you here, then we will go outside the signing hall and let all of Hallcester’s media judge this issue!” Miranda hesitated for a moment and wanted to dissuade Laurie. Once the situation escalated, there would inevitably be losses in the end. If it comes to a confrontation with the Huber Group, these three companies are nothing but ants. However, Laurie at the moment was extremely excited as if she had taken a stimulant Continuing to point at Karsyn, he questioned, “Do you, the Huber Group, give us a reasonable explanation?” “Now I can give you two suggestions. First, include all three of our companies back into the official signing list for the EBD project.” “Secondly, if you, the Huber Group, only wanted to dismiss us in this manner, then please let Hallcester’s media give us a fair treatment!” Corey was in a state of panic when he saw Laurie bombarding Karsyn with insane questions. Even if I wanted to stop her now, it was already too late. Karsyn saw Laurie’s excited expression and nodded, “Ms. Cannon, please calm down. There was no deception regarding the contract issue with the Huber Group as a partner merchant in the Eastern Business District,” “I would never dismiss you in an unreasonable manner, and I hope you will remain rational about this matter!” “If there is anything that you cannot understand, we can have a separate meeting after the signing ceremony.” “The Huber Group would never let the merchants who sincerely cooperate with us be wronged.” “If conditions allowed, the Huber Group would provide all merchants who want to cooperate with us, the Huber Group, with more opportunities in other fields.” “No!” Laurie answered decisively She saw Karsyn speaking to her in such a tone at that moment and guessed that the Huber Group had already felt guilty about this issue “The Huber Group must give us an explanation. If they want to settle the matter peacefully, then they should provide us with the list of signed cooperation contracts. We will no longer pursue this matter!” Karsyn sighed deeply and said, “Ms. Cannon, it is best to resolve everything peacefully. If you insist on acting alone and adopting such a threatening g attitude, it is very likely that you yourselves will be harmed!” With that, he looked up at Miranda and said, “Ms. Brown, do you also mean the same thing?” Miranda didn’t expect Karsyn to suddenly ask her a question and was momentarily unsure how to respond. Karsyn turned to Jacob without expression and asked, “So, Mr. Walsh, what is your opinion?” “Ms. Croft, I…” Jacob hesitated, of course unwilling to confront the Huber Group head–on. He understood in his heart that it was reasonable for the Huber Group to refuse to sign a contract with them, even if they had no reason to do SO. However, once the bottom line of the Huber Group is challenged in a very intense manner, the final outcome can be easily predicted.. The Huber Group, as the No. 1 noble family in Halleester, has always presented itself with a gentle face. However, few people knew about the terrifying methods employed by the Huber Group when they were provoked. If they dared to provoke this formidable entity without any hesitation, the Walsh family and the Brown family would not be able to withstand the wrath of the Huber Group. They were like ants in front of the Huber Group. Pacific Realty is not worth mentioning either. Jacob never expected that Laurie would dare to confront the Huber Group in such a fierce manner at this occasion. He glanced at Laurie and truly admired this woman in his heart. Is it ignorance that breeds fearlessness, or just plain stupidity? He pulled Miranda from behind and tried to dissuade her, “We should…” Miranda was also considering how to find a way out of here. However, when she saw Robin’s smirked face standing next to Karina, she felt instantly annoyed. The thing that happened today must have been Robin’s doing behind. the scenes! This jerk used such a despicable trick to gain my attention and show off in front of me. Disgusting! Alright! Robin, you jerk. Since you want to show off in front of me, let you show off to your heart’s content! I made a big fuss about this matter! How would Karina see you if the Huber Group couldn’t finish the job I’ll on time? After she listened to your advice, she made a mess of the Huber Group Can you still survive in the Huber Group in the future? At this point, Miranda coldly exclaimed, “Of course, we certainly need. a reasonable explanation!” Jacob pulled her aside and said, “Miranda, calm down a bit, let’s talk about this…” Miranda broke up with Jacob and continued, “Today, we did not. receive a satisfactory response from your company, the Huber Group. We will not give up!” Jacob thought to himself, “Oh no, oh no, Miranda is acting just like Laurie, irrational.” Laurie saw Miranda also joining her ranks, becoming even more excited. She turned away from Karsyn and shouted at Karina and Reginald backstage, “Mr. Aguilar, you promised us something, how could it turn out like this now? Don’t you want to say a few words about this issue?” “Ms. Huber, it is said that your company, the Huber Group, conducts business with integrity and fairness. However, if you do not provide us with a reasonable explanation for today’s incident, then how will the Huber Group establish itself in Hallcester in the future?”
