Free Web NovelChapter 559: I Will Bear All the Consequences
Michael and Mr. Zavier also discussed many other detailed issues.
They did not finish discussing until two hours later.
Mr. Zavier stood up and saw them off in person.
"Let’s hope that we will succeed." Mr. Zavier held out his hand with a smile.
"Let’s hope for success." Michael shook hands with Mr. Zavier and nodded with a smile.
After a polite and straightforward goodbye, Michael and Yonina left.
When they got out of the hotel, Yonina asked," Do you think that Mr. Zavier will coordinate with us?"
"Yes, he will. He has no other choice," Michael said affirmatively," I investigated about him before I came. Just as I have said, he cared a lot about his reputation.
He is an intelligent person. He knows who he should work with to have a bigger chance of success.
And I have promised him that I will keep his position as the main person in charge;
he can’t stay at Christian’s side.
After all, Christian is in a crisis. He can fail at any time."
Yonina actually knew all this, but she asked Michael just to be more confident.
Yonina felt very much relieved," Finally, we will finish after such a long time."
"I have said that you will not lose if you cooperate with me." Michael stood at the gate of the hotel and looked up at the blue sky. His mood was as beautiful as the weather. He smiled slightly," Alright, let’s go home. I must tell Wendy this good news as soon as possible."
"Wow, you are the best husband now." Yonina teased him on purpose.
"Do not envy. I already have my wife." Michael strode out quickly, " After this matter is settled down, Wendy and I will help you find a good partner."
"Someone like you?" Yonina laughed and joked.
"Actually, there is someone suitable." Michael suddenly thought of Milo Lawrence.
When Michael was just about to continue, Yonina raised her hand and interrupted him," That’s alright, you don’t have to continue. Let’s think about it after this matter is settled down. I am not in the mode for anything else now."
"Good men are few. They will probably already have partners when you want to date them," said Michael," What about adding his FaceBook and starting a casual chat?"
"You should go back home now." Yonina directly walked to Michael’s car, pulled the door handle and signalled Michael to unlock the vehicle.
Seeing that Yonina was not willing, Michael stopped talking.
...
After Michael and Yonina left, Mr.Zavier also left shortly afterwards.
He sat in the car and took out his phone. He found Christian’s number.
Since he had decided to cooperate with Michael, he must then prioritize his own interest.
Whether what Michael had said was true or not, he was at least right about one thing.
That was, it would benefit him the most if he chose to work with Michael and Yonina.
After hesitating for a short moment, Mr. Zavier dialed the number.
Christian was in a meeting at that time, and he was slightly afraid when he saw Mr. Zavier’s phone call.
But he had to answer the phone even if he was afraid.
He could avoid it temporarily, but he could not avoid it forever.
He made a hand gesture to pause the meeting, then came out of the meeting room with his phone.
After taking a deep breath, Christain answered the phone politely and gently with a smile," Mr. Zavier..."
"Christian, have you gathered enough money now?" Mr. Zaiver asked directly without beating around the bush.
"Well..." Christain was afraid that Mr. Zavier would ask him for money. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Money was what he lacked the most at this time.
Christain tried his best to stay calm and even humble, and he replied," Didn’t we say five days later yesterday? Today is just the first day. Rest assured, I will definitely gather enough money for you in four days."
...
"Christian, you know, it is not that I do not want to help you. It is because that I am not the decision-maker."
Mr. Zavier knew how to act. He sounded highly resigned," I made the decision to give you five days without asking. Still, there was an emergency meeting this early morning.
They questioned me why I gave you five days. They questioned me why I did not ask you to follow the contract strictly. According to the contract, you are already overdue.
I am the main person in charge of this project, and many people envy my position.
I made a guarantee for you, which had aroused everyone’s anger. They are now waiting for me to fail together with you."
"I am sorry, Mr. Zavier that you are also harmed because of me. But please be rest assured, I can definitely gather enough money. This project will definitely continue smoothly." Even though Christian was not confident at all, he had to pretend that he was.
He could only rely on Mr. Zavier now. If he showed his weakness, then Mr. Zavier would not trust him anymore, and he would really wholly fail.
"Christian, I need to let you know about this. Michael talked to me and asked me to replace you, but I disagreed." Mr. Zaiver told Christain about this on purpose so that he would feel pressured.
Michael was always his rival. It was a standard business practice to pressure someone with his enemies.
"Thank you, Mr. Zavier. I will not disappoint you..."
Before Christian finished his words, Mr. Zavier interrupted him," Do not hurry to thank me, Michael gained no favor from me. He will definitely go to talk to other people in charge.
He can cooperate with other people in charge without letting me know. He can even ally with other people and condemn me for colluding with you in front of my supervisor.
I cannot bear this condemnation at all. Christian, I rely totally on you now for everything."
"I know, Mr. Zavier. I will certainly not disappoint you."
Christian was walking back and forth and was feeling extremely anxious. His voice started to shake uncontrollably, "Please be rest assured. I will surely compensate you after this crisis passes."
"I do not care about money. Otherwise, I will agree with Michael. He did offer me very favorable conditions today. However, I really cannot give you five days. Five days are long enough for Michael to find other people in charge, ally with them, and fight against us.
At that time, I will be fired internally. Once I am fired, you will indeed be replaced."
"Then what shall we do now? I will listen to whatever you suggest, Mr. Zavier."
Christian really had no other means. He could only listen to whatever Mr. Zavier said now.
Mr. Zavier was actually waiting for him to say that.
"Tomorrow, you must transfer the money. Otherwise, I have to go to Michael. Even though I will lose my dignity and listen to his scorn, I need to secure my career perspective.
I cannot let others take my position." Mr. Zavier sighed and sounded even more resigned," I think that you can understand."
Christian clenched his fists when he heard those words.
He knew that Michael would not discard this opportunity.
If he did not promise to transfer the money tomorrow, Christian would have no chance.
Closing his eyes for a moment, Christian had to promise," Alright, tomorrow, I will undoubtedly transfer the money to the project account tomorrow."
"Five hundred million dollars, they must be fully paid. Otherwise, even I cannot give any excuse." Mr. Zavier said resignedly.
"Five hundred million dollars, they must be fully paid," Christian repeated Mr. Zavier’s request and then hanged off the phone.
...
After hanging up the phone call, Christian gripped the phone tightly in his hands.
He took a deep breath to control his emotions.
He had to calm down so that he could deal with future issues well.
Feeling that he calmed down a little, Christian dialed Clement’s number.
Rheinsville city, early dawn.
Clement was awakened by a phone call and thus was a little annoyed.
Seeing that it was a phone call from Christian, he forced himself to be patient and picked up the phone.
"Why do you call me at this time? Please look at the time before calling next time, okay?" Clement sounded discontented.
"Five hundred million dollars, you have to transfer the money to me by tomorrow."
Christian sounded as if he was giving a command, and he would not provide Clement with any chance to refuse. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Clement was more awake after hearing this. He sat up straight, gripped the phone tightly, and asked," Tomorrow? Isn’t it five days as we have agreed upon?"
"I cannot wait that long, you have to transfer the money to me by tomorrow.
Otherwise, I will have no chance," said Christian coldly.
"But we agreed on five days just yesterday. Now you ask for the money at once. How can I gather five hundred million dollars for you?" Clement was a little speechless," You are asking for five hundred million dollars, not five dollars."
"If you can gather five hundred million dollars in five days, then you can definitely gather five hundred million dollars in one day as well." Christian tried his best to sound calm at this time," I trust you."
"Christian, this is not a matter of whether you trust me or not," said Clement," You know that the funding source of my money cannot be deeply investigated.
I cannot launder all five hundred million dollars in five days.
What I was thinking was that I could launder some of the money. Nobody can figure out the source of the money in a short time.
But now you ask for the money at once, I don’t have time to launder the money.
I can give you five hundred million dollars now.
But you should be more aware than me what consequences you will face after I give you the money."
"Of course, I know." Christian was more aware than Clement, but he had no other choice. He said firmly," I will bear all the consequences. You can just transfer the money to me."
"Christain, I hope that you can think it over calmly."
Clement felt that this matter was not that simple. He tried to convince Christian," Are you sure that the other party is not doing this on purpose as he forces you to transfer money again and again at this time?
What if his purpose is to track the funding source of your money? Do not forget that Michael is observing you all the time.
You cannot make any mistake. Otherwise, Michael will capture evidence against you.
This might even be a trap set for you by Michael."
How could Christian not know what Clement said?
He clenched his hands into fists tightly and hit on the table heavily. He gritted his teeth and spoke slowly and clearly," I am more aware of my situation than you. If I still had other choices, why did I force myself to take this action?"
"Well..." Clement knew that Christain was telling the truth.
<Indeed, Christian was more aware of everything that I was talking about.>
"Clement, I hope you are aware that we are partners. If I fail here in Lake City, you will also fail to open the market of Zeilheim City. I don’t think that you can find a more suitable candidate than me," Christian took a deep breath and said.
