Chapter 84 Sleazy Man Miranda furrowed her brow and let out a long sigh. “If the Brown family cannot monetize the land they hold in the southern part of the city, they will be unable to repay the bank loan.” “The funding chain of the Brown Group would have immediately collapsed, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.” Upon hearing this, Crystal also worried for her, “Miranda, what can we do about it? After all, it’s not a small amount of money.” Miranda shook her head bitterly, “I don’t know what to do either.” “So, I would like to ask you all to help me in reaching out to some capable friends and see who can take on this project, so that I can quickly recoup funds to repay the bank loan.” Krish sighed. “The key is that the land in the south of the city was basically abandoned by the municipal government.” “At present, all the businesses holding the Southern District project are trying their best to transfer it to others, but no one is willing to take over even at half price.” “I heard that many people are willing to sell at a 20% discount in order to repay their bank loans.” Miranda nodded, “Krish, Crystal, I had no other choice but to seek your help.” “The bank stipulated that we must repay the loan before next week, otherwise…” Chapter 84 Sleazy Man “Ah!” she sighed heavily, “Grandfather’s current physical condition is. really worrying.” “The doctor determined that his body could support for at most half a year.” The news came that the shareholders of the Brown Group had already started to stir secretly, coveting the position of the chairman. “Grandfather wanted me to take over the Brown Group.” “But, six months ago, I advocated for the investment in the South City development project, and now this issue has become the talk of those shareholders and relatives… Crystal sympathetically looked at the gloomy Miranda, “Miranda, weren’t you with Nathen from World Real Estate yesterday?” “Ten billion, a small matter for the Reynell family.” “And, the Southern District will be developed sooner or later, just a little later.” “If you have the capability, investing in the Southern District will definitely not incur losses, and you might even make a big profit.” Miranda chuckled bitterly, “Mr. Reynell is a man of great ambition, why would he invest his spare money in such a hopeless area?” Krish nodded and said, “According to Hallcester’s current urban. development plan, if the Southern District stops its investment this time, it may not be able to restart even after more than a decade.” “Miranda, Jacob, the Southern District project in your hands was really troublesome.” “I didn’t have that kind of connection and network to take on your Chapter 84 Sleazy Man project.” According to the current layout of Hallcester, only the Huber family, the Reynell family. Purpeak International Group, and Demon’s Lair had the strength to take over. Then, they waited for the opportunity to develop further. “However, they would not easily invest a large amount of funds into such a long–term benefit, especially considering the unknown outcome.” “Unless a miracle happened, the municipal government suddenly announced that the south of the city would be immediately developed.” Miranda shook her head helplessly. “It seems that I have no choice but to go to the Huber Group and Purpeak International Group and see if Karina and Cecilia can accept it.” “Ah. Mr. Walsh. I remember now, weren’t you quite familiar with a sales vice president from the Huber Group?” “Shall we go and find him to see?” “What was the name of that vice president?” Jacob’s eyes lit up, “Oh, I almost forgot. Yes, yes, his name is Reginald Aguilar, an MBA from Potrya’s Millbush Business School and the Assistant General Manager of the Sales Department at the Huber Group.” “It is said that he was a classmate of Karina at Millbush University, and the Huber Group held him in high regard. It is very likely that he is the new president of the Eastern District Development Corporation this time.” “Today, the Huber Group held the first executive meeting of the Eastern District Development Corporation at its headquarters, as well Chapter 84 Shary Man as an on–site signing ceremony for the outsourcing of the Eastern Business District project.” “Miranda, we went directly to see Mr. Aguilar to see if he could convince Karina to take over the land in the southern part of the city from us.” Crystal listened to their conversation and really wanted to tell Miranda. In fact, Robin is the newly appointed president of the Eastern District Development Corporation, a subsidiary of the Huber Group. If Robin spoke, the Huber Group would take over the Brown family’s five billion dollar plot of land in the southern part of the city, perhaps just a matter of words. Unfortunately, the Brown family missed an opportunity that was originally meant for them. “Alright, let’s give it a try in the past and see if we can turn things around,” Miranda nodded. “Crystal, if you don’t have anything else going on, come with us.” Crystal readily agreed. I had been thinking about going to the Huber Edifice across the street. earlier to see what the scene was like when Robin took office as the President of the Eastern District Development Corporation. So, the four of them chatted for a while and then they got up and headed to the Huber Group. *** Robin arrived at the Huber Edifice early as scheduled. Just as I entered the hall, I heard a female voice behind me shouting, “Robin!” Robin turned around and saw Madeline and Blanca. After nodding slightly, he walked to the front of the elevator. Blanca pulled her and said, “Why are you shouting so loudly! Greeting a security guard, isn’t it embarrassing?” Madeline stuck out her tongue and said, “What’s embarrassing about Robin being a security guard? We’re not even employees here yet.” “You’re such a pighead! I will become a senior executive here sooner or later, maybe even the assistant to the president or vice president. He can only be a security guard!” Blanca sneered at Madeline. Madeline whispered, “Even so, it’s nothing. We are colleagues, friends. Just a simple greeting, nothing more. Besides, he even saved me once.” Blanca angrily said, “Only someone as foolish as you would think like this. Can’t you see? He is deliberately waiting for me here, isn’t he?” “This jerk must have been plotting against me. I hate this kind of sleazy man the most!” “No way, Blanca? When I didn’t call Robin, he was just walking.” Madeline thought for a moment and said, “Besides, Robin is not creepy at all.” “Hehe, if he wasn’t intentionally waiting for me here, why wouldn’t he be wearing a security uniform at his post during working hours?” Blanca looked disdainfully at Robin. “Coward! Yesterday at Cosmo Mall, when he saw me being bullied by a few men, he actually pretended not to see, such a hypocritical man!” Lfieszy Man Madeline muttered. “Perhaps I really didn’t see it…” “Alright! Stay away from him in the future! Don’t wait until it’s too late and regret being deceived and hurt!” Blanca glared at Madeline. fiercely and scolded. Madeline pouted her lips and stopped talking. Blanca looked at Robin in the elevator and didn’t want to go in. However, I have to go for an interview soon, if I don’t go in, I’m afraid I won’t make it in time. At that moment, Maurice ran up from behind and said, “Blanca, Madeline, you’ve arrived.” However, the elevator could only accommodate two more people at most. Maurice looked into the elevator and saw Robin wearing headphones and scrolling through his phone. He scolded. “You go down first!” Everyone in the elevator looked at him simultaneously. Robin was still scrolling through his phone, ignoring Maurice. “What about you? Didn’t you hear?” Maurice shouted loudly. The people inside the elevator, two of them knew Maurice and asked, “Mr. Chandler, who is this?” “Just a small security guard in the company, even during the rush hour, I have to squeeze into the crowded elevator. It’s really annoying!” Maurice was clearly displeased. “Did you hear what I said? Hurry up and go down, let us in!” Chapter 84 Sleazy Man Blanca looked at Robin, who was still ignoring her and staring at her phone. She sneered. “Disgusting. Just to be in the same elevator as me, you have no shame.” She took a step forward and directly removed Robin’s headphones. “Maurice was talking about you! Hurry up and get out of here, you’re delaying so many people from going to work!” Robin immediately became displeased, “Who allowed you to remove my headphones, you uncivilized person!” Blanca was instantly shocked, “You! How dare you, you vulgar thing, dare to insult me?” “Are you saying that you have no manners? Is that wrong?” Robin smirked, “You ignorant fool, I’ll slap you! Get lost!” Maurice wanted to speak up, but looking at Robin’s indifferent expression, he felt uncertain. I had to say, “Alright, you wait. I will tell the head of the Security Department about this matter to you all!” “Blanca, you go up first. I’ll wait for the next elevator. I am a cultured person and won’t argue with a security guard!” Madeline and Blanca entered the elevator. Robin ignored Maurice and Blanca and said to Madeline, “Did you come for an interview today?” Madeline nodded and said, “I might not have been accepted, the interviewer mentioned over the phone that I was slightly less qualified compared to a few other applicants.” Robin smiled and said, “Don’t be discouraged, you will definitely be able to get the job.” Chapter 84 Sleazy Man Blanca snorted, “A lousy security guard acting like a company CEO, thinking he can say and do whatever he wants?”
