"Assistant Aston, I’d like to ask Mr. Grant for two people. After I’ve taken the position of deputy, it’s hard to work without capable assistants around ." Eric Larson said with a smile.
Yvette nodded. "That’s a minor issue, just tell who they are, and I’ll inform Mr. Grant."
"One is Sharon Carter from the hotel departnt, and the other is Owen Jenkins from the project departnt. I highly regard the capabilities of both of them, they’re ripe for promotion."
Eric Larson smiled cunningly, even playfully flicking Yvette’s hair. "Of course, once I’ve stabilized my position as deputy, if you want to co to my side, I can discuss it with Mr. Grant."
Yvette smiled and nodded. "These are all minor issues, just wait for my good news."
Yvette’s fingers clenched as she turned around in disgust, her smile frozen on her face.
Old fox...
Sharon Carter from the hotel departnt and Owen Jenkins from the project departnt, one was Eric Larson’s current mistress, and the other was a loyal confidant of lody Crowe and Jayden Grant.
Eric Larson appeared to be ’extrely loyal’ to lody Crowe and Jayden Grant.
It seems lody Crowe has sothing on Eric Larson.
No wonder Ethan said Eric Larson couldn’t be kept around.
His situation is completely different from that of HR manager Lilith Larson.
Absentmindedly walking toward the office, Yvette didn’t see who was in front of her.
He deliberately stepped in front of Yvette, waiting for her to bump into him.
"What are you thinking about?" Ethan Grant quietly asked.
Yvette’s ears perked up imdiately, looking at Ethan in surprise. "Mr... Mr. Grant."
He’s back.
"Hmm, this is for you." On his way back, Ethan bought a coconut milk fruit salad for Yvette.
Yvette stamred, reaching out to take it. "For, for ?"
Ethan glanced around. "Is there anyone else here?"
"..." Christopher Carter was bewildered. What? Isn’t he a person?
He had followed Ethan for so many years and never received a fruit salad. The boss is blatantly showing gender bias.
"Mr. Grant, Arthur has been looking for you." Christopher said helplessly, Arthur even called here. "During this ti, because of lody Crowe’s issue, he hasn’t had the ti to trouble you yet..."
Christopher was very worried. "lody Crowe is about to be released on bail, and there’s not much ti left for the deputy selection, it’s urgent. As for Yvette..."
Christopher glanced at Yvette, hesitated to speak. "You can’t risk it all."
Christopher wasn’t saying Yvette was incapable, but there had been no progress so far.
"Christopher, help look into two people, one is Sharon Carter from the hotel departnt, and the other is Owen Jenkins from the project departnt. Find dirt on them that can absolutely get them fired." Yvette spoke softly.
"I’ve already looked into it. They’re indeed associated with lody Crowe and Eric Larson, but they’re just small fries. Yvette, our current priority is to get rid of Eric Larson. If he doesn’t go, we’ll all have to." Christopher was anxious. "Counting on these small matters to lead to Eric Larson’s dismissal is simply impossible."
"Who said anything about firing him..." Yvette cautiously glanced at Ethan. "We’re waiting for him to resign himself."
As soon as Eric Larson submits his resignation, Mr. Grant will swiftly deal with him.
Ethan just smiled faintly, clearly understanding Yvette’s intention.
"You think a few pieces of dirt will make the old fox resign? Yvette, are you daydreaming?" Christopher was almost frantic.
Was Yvette joking?
Firing him was already impossible, and now waiting for him to resign?
Yvette glanced at Ethan and quietly explained. "Recently, Eric Larson has beco quite arrogant, thinking the company can’t run without him, that Mr. Grant can’t live without him, and everyone is afraid he’ll take the entire project departnt with him. That’s why he dares to boldly bring his mistress and lody Crowe’s confidant around him."
Upon hearing Eric Larson’s growing audacity, Yvette knew the timing was almost ripe.
Christopher still didn’t understand.
What does this have to do with him resigning voluntarily?
"By tomorrow at the latest, Mr. Grant will receive his resignation threat, so we need to be prepared in advance to prevent the project departnt from really leaving with him, and to catch Eric Larson’s ’evidence’ and whoever needs to be made an example of in advance."
Yvette spoke with seriousness.
Ethan listened intently.
Upon entering the office, he voluntarily opened the fruit salad for Yvette and even poured her a glass of warm water.
Christopher was shocked, pointing at the cup, even the most wooden person noticed. "Mr. Grant, why is Yvette using the sa cup as you?"
Only then did Yvette realize that Ethan had bought her a water cup, identical to his, looking like a pair...
"You have an issue with that? Want to get you one too?" Ethan asked nacingly.
Christopher shook his head vigorously. "No, no, no need."
Using the sa cup is terrifying. What if one day he accidentally uses the wrong one, wouldn’t Mr. Grant kill him?
"Continue." Ethan prompted Yvette to go on.
"Mr. Grant, I must remind you..." Yvette paused, then spoke again. "If you act against the Bell Family, Arthur will surely get angry. When lody Crowe is released, delivering her this grand ’gift’ is like directly slapping her in the face. I’m worried that she might not be able to openly compete and resort to underhanded tactics."
Yvette’s concern was that lody Crowe might convince Arthur to target Ethan’s shares.
Even if Ethan successfully ousts Eric Larson, his own position would be unstable... even more dangerous.
Yvette looked at Ethan, she didn’t understand why soone like him would put himself in danger.
Clearly, he could temporarily ignore the Bell Family, temporarily not provoke Arthur, and wait until his wings were fully grown.
Ethan reassured Yvette. "You don’t need to worry about that, I’ll handle it."
"Right, Eric Larson hasn’t been dealt with yet, you’re thinking too far ahead." Christopher was speechless, Yvette was just a young girl, too fanciful.
Did she really think Eric Larson was so easy to deal with?
Knowing Christopher didn’t trust her, Yvette didn’t bother explaining further.
She took a few docunts for Ethan to sign while eating the fruit salad and arranging Ethan’s schedule for the week. "Mr. Grant, tomorrow afternoon is the wedding banquet of Oceanic United Holdings’ daughter. Would you like to send a gift or attend in person?"
"Mr. Grant usually doesn’t attend weddings." Christopher quietly reminded Yvette.
But when Yvette asked, it was because she hoped Ethan would attend.
Ethan helplessly smirked. "You arrange it."
Yvette smiled and nodded. "Okay, Mr. Grant."
The daughter of Oceanic United Holdings is considered a top socialite in ridia. At her wedding, all the notable people will gather. Although Ethan disdains eting these people, it’s a special ti now and he needs to go out to earn reputation and connections to counterbalance Arthur.
Simply put, Yvette wanted Ethan to attend such a business wedding to show Arthur and lody Crowe.
Because the chairman of Oceanic United only invited Arthur and Ethan, none of the other Grant Group mbers were invited, neither was lody Crowe nor Jayden Grant. Even if they wanted to attend, they weren’t qualified.
Ethan attending would be showing his superiority over lody Crowe and Jayden Grant.
His years’ worth of business connections and recognition in the business circle can’t be taken away by the petty tricks of lody Crowe and Jayden Grant.
Petty people ultimately can’t make it to the big stage.
Christopher looked around, feeling a bit redundant as a special assistant. "Mr. Grant... how to deal with Eric Larson? Should I think of another plan?"
Christopher was anxious; he was worried to death. Is Yvette reliable or not?
