1389 Words
Norman Austin smiled and changed the subject, "Why did you come to see me? Has the plan changed?" Rod Austin suppressed his anger and said with an elevated brow, "Your sister-in-law wants me to tell you that she plans to make you the general manager of the business department!" What? Norman Austin widened his eyes, looking at his elder brother in disbelief. Just a second ago, he was asked to leave the company. And now, he's being promoted to a business manager? He has only been working in the company for less than half a day. Rod Austin punched Norman Austin in the chest and said with a smile, "You did well, the general manager's monthly salary is six thousand dollars! I don't even have half of it now!" Norman Austin stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Rod, I know nothing about the business of the company, I can't do it!" To do well in the business, one naturally needed to be familiar with the company's products. Norman Austin had never worked before, let alone been in the textile industry. Rod Austin laughed and said, "Just go if they want you to. Ask if you don't know. Our factory beauty, Sandy Grant, is also in the business department!" At the mention of Sandy Grant, Norman Austin immediately thought of the embarrassing scene from last night. Norman Austin instantly understood something and after a moment of contemplation, he went to the CEO's office. In the afternoon, an appointment notice was posted on the bulletin board, causing unhappiness among the company's senior executives. According to the resolution of the CEO's office, Rod Austin was appointed as the general manager of the business department of Adaptas Textile Company in South City, and Norman Austin was appointed as the deputy manager of the business department. "Mrs. Milton must be out of her mind, appointing that useless person as the general manager of the business department!" "It's not surprising to promote him since he's Mrs. Milton's husband!" "Promote Rod Austin fine, but what is Norman Austin?" "I heard he's Rod Austin's younger brother, originally worked as a security guard at the back door of the garbage dump!" "The business department is finished..." The executives gathered in front of the bulletin board and discussed in a flurry. The office of the business department's general manager. Rod Austin sat on the office chair in a daze. Why did Debby Milton want Norman to be the general manager, and then suddenly change her mind? Norman Austin smiled and said, "Rod, if you want your sister-in-law to change her attitude towards you, you have to achieve something!" The reason Norman Austin went to the CEO's office to ask his sister-in-law to give the general manager position to his elder brother was to help him establish his prestige. Once his elder brother sat firmly in the general manager's seat of the business department, who would dare to look down on him? Rod Austin stared at the email on the desktop and sighed, "Debby sent me the information about Golden Age Group. She wants me to negotiate a cooperation deal with them!" He couldn't even sign a cooperation deal that Debby Milton herself couldn't sign. What qualifications did he have? Rod Austin shut down the computer and took out a stack of documents from the file rack to start studying. The deputy manager didn't have a separate office, so Norman Austin went outside. As long as his elder brother was willing to learn and try, there was still a chance to negotiate a cooperation deal with Golden Age Group based on his abilities. The deputy manager didn't have a separate office, there was only a super-sized desk at the back of the business department. When Norman Austin arrived at the workstation, he noticed Sandy Grant staring at him with her watery eyes. Norman Austin touched his face and asked in confusion, "Am I good-looking?" Sandy Grant couldn't help but laugh, "I think your abs look good, how about tonight..." Norman Austin's mouth twitched slightly, then he sat expressionlessly in his seat. Sandy Grant laughed until tears almost came out. This shy man must have never had a girlfriend. Although Norman Austin wasn't handsome, his temperament was a killer for young girls. With the guidance of Sandy Grant, Norman Austin learned a lot about the business aspects. In the afternoon before leaving work, Debby Milton brought a large group of people to the CEO's office. Among them was an old lady with white hair and dressed in luxury! Norman Austin poked Sandy Grant in front of him with a pen and asked in a low voice, "Who are they?" "They are members of the board, Mrs. Milton's parents, and some relatives. That old lady is the matriarch of the Milton family!" Sandy Grant stole a glance at Norman Austin's expression and continued, "They are here to find your elder brother. I guess they have some objections to the personnel transfer!" Upon hearing this, Norman Austin left his seat and walked towards the general manager's office. Although Rod Austin was a son-in-law, the Austin family was not without any power. At least... Norman Austin was still there. Inside the general manager's office. The dowager sat upright in Rod Austin's seat. Everyone stood straight, bowing their heads, not daring to breathe. The Milton family was considered a prominent family in Clonok, and the dowager even owned a Milton Group, which was one of the top ten listed companies in Clonok. With the dowager's 5 billion in assets and the aura of a person in power, they couldn't even lift their heads. At this moment, the dowager looked at Rod Austin and Debby Milton with cold eyes, "Adaptas Factory has been losing money for three consecutive months. If you can't secure the cooperation with Golden Age Group, this company should shut down!" Debby Milton's face changed instantly and she hurriedly said, "Grandmother, I already have a new plan now, I guarantee to secure the cooperation with Golden Age Group this month!" "Guarantee?" "What can you guarantee? Relying on this useless husband of yours?" "I don't understand what you're thinking, appointing this useless younger brother of yours as the general manager of the business department!" The dowager's tone was icy, sending shivers down their spines. Debby Milton's father, Mandel Milton, said, "Mom, Debby has worked hard in these years. We should believe in her!" Smack! The old lady slapped the table, "Are you giving me a lesson?!" Mandel Milton quickly shut his mouth. Rod Austin lowered his head, his eyes slightly red. The status of Debby Milton's family in the whole Milton family was about the same as his position in the company. If they couldn't achieve results, their whole family will be kicked out. Rod Austin clenched his fist and mustered the courage to say, "Grandma, rest assured. Since Debby has entrusted this task to me, I will complete it and prove it to all of you!" Smack! Mandel Milton slapped Rod Austin in the face with the back of his hand, "Who do you think you are? You've been leeching off our Milton family for so many years, apart from earning a meager salary every month, what else can you do?" Squeak! At this moment, the office door was pushed open. Norman Austin, with a gloomy face, stared coldly at Mandel Milton. Swish! Dozens of eyes immediately turned towards Norman Austin. Mandel Milton angrily shouted, "Who is this lousy security guard? Can't he knock before entering?" Immediately, he turned to Debby Milton and said, "Fire this security guard right away!" In the eyes of these wealthy people, the factory security guard was no different from a dog. After being scolded by the old lady, Mandel Milton was already filled with anger. This security guard had no sense and chose to provoke them at this moment! Debby Milton was about to speak, but Norman Austin coldly said, "Apologize to my brother!" For a moment, the office fell silent, not a sound could be heard! A small security guard made the CEO of Adaptas apologize to that useless son-in-law, and it happened in front of the old lady. Mandel Milton was also taken aback for a moment, then angrily roared, "Do you know who I am? You want me to apologize?"
