Expert Down The Mountain by Summer

Chapter 22

The moment Cyrus entered Meeting Room 3, most of the people paid attention to him. However, the

look they gave him was strange. “Who are you?” A man looked at him arrogantly. “I’m Cyrus Salazar,

the assistant team leader of Team Four. Mr. Long is on leave today. I’m here today on his behalf,”

Cyrus said. “Team Four?” The man smiled contemptuously, “Mr. Salazar, don’t you think Team Four is

such a waste of space? The company needs to pay for the mineral water, you know?” The others

lowered their heads and laughed unabashedly when they heard this. Mr. Flores frowned. He quickly

relaxed. “Mr. Blanke is in charge of the company’s finances. I understand that you want to save the

company’s money. “But could it be that our company’s funds are so tight that you need to care about

the cost of one mineral bottle?”

The chief financial officer snorted. “I just don’t want to waste our resources! Mr. Salazar, don’t be out of

line!”

Mr. Flores smiled and did not reply. He then talked to Cyrus. “Quick, take a seat, Mr. Salazar.” Cyrus

was poised and smiled at him gratefully before he sat down. A tall figure emerged. Cyrus could not help

but turn to look.

Korah instantly saw Cyrus when she entered the meeting room. She frowned. He was the last thing

that she wanted to see.

“Since everyone is here, let’s start.”

Korah’s clear, cold voice resounded in the meeting room. “All departments should actively operate in

the near future, and make sure your projects are beyond reproach. “You should also keep an eye on

the ongoing projects. Don’t make any mistakes, be especially careful of safety conditions! “Also, those

in the Project Department, quickly complete the projects that have not been connected before.” A

silence followed. Korah was a practical person. She had done her homework. After each order was

issued, the head of each department would not have any objections. Cyrus noticed a slight change in

Korah’s outlook. She acted differently when she was at the company compared to when she was at

home. At the end of the meeting, Mr. Blanke suddenly raised his hand. “Ms. Gardner, the fund for the

Deluxe Parkside Project has never been recovered. May I know

how you want to rectify this issue?”.

Korah frowned a little and looked at Alfred Cook, the Project Department’s team leader for Team One.

“What is going on, Mr. Cook?” The Deluxe Parkside Project was the first project she was responsible

for when she joined the company after she graduated. Alfred’s expression changed and he smiled

bitterly. “Ms. Gardner, the team leader in charge of quality inspection, Mr. Zuniga, said that there was a

problem with the quality of the project…” The expressions of many people in the meeting room

changed, and then they all looked at Korah.

“Nonsense!” Korah’s expression turned sour. “I have been following up with the Deluxe Parkside

Project from the start. We never cut any corners throughout the whole project!”

Stefano then said sarcastically, “Ms. Gardner, you’re the one who’s responsible for the project. You

better think of a solution to rectify this issue.

“Without Mr. Zuniga’s quality inspection report, we would lose the balance payment of twenty million

dollars.”

“Haco Corporation is currently keeping an eye on us and is waiting for us to make mistakes. If this

news spreads tomorrow and the business owners drop by and make things difficult, Ms. Gardner,

things will get really ugly.” Korah was stunned. She then glared at Alfred. Alfred anxiously lowered his

head and did not dare to meet her gaze. “Ms. Gardner, I don’t think Mr. Cook is an alarmist. The

Internet is developed, and the influence of public opinion has a huge impact!” said Hamilton Scott, the

head of the Human Resource Department.

Victor frowned and said, “The Deluxe Parkside Project is the first project that Ms. Gardner has led.

She, more than anyone else, hopes that this project can be completed perfectly. “Everyone, don’t

worry. Ms. Gardner will settle this issue.”

Stefano looked disdainful and sneered. “Oh, really? We’ll see.”

Korah’s gaze was cold. Stefano’s father was the second-largest shareholder of the company. Originally,

he was supposed to be the chairman.

However, with the Deluxe Parkside Project in her hands, she bested him.

It seemed like Stefano still had not moved on from it.

Alfred, Team One’s leader, and Hamilton, the head of the Human Resource Department had sided with

him.

“Mr. Blanke, Mr. Scott, don’t worry. I will settle this matter.”

Korah instantly calmed down. Alfred said in a soft voice, “Ms. Gardner, tomorrow is the deadline Mr.

Zuniga gave us…” Korah’s expression changed. She was furious. She wanted to ask why he had not

informed her

earlier. However, when she noticed Stefano’s cunning gaze, she immediately controlled her emotions.

‘He must have hidden it from me on purpose! ‘He’s just waiting for me to lose my temper and make

mistakes! “Alright, noted,” she replied as she suppressed her anger. When Stefano saw that she did

not lose her temper, he felt sorry for her. He took a glance at Cyrus. “I heard that the members in Team

Four caused trouble outside the company again. They fought in a bar, right?” He laughed and said,

“Team Four’s performance has always been substandard. They have always caused trouble. They

discredit the company’s reputation.” “I don’t think this group is effective anymore. Why don’t we abolish

it!?”

Korah was so angry that she gritted her teeth. ‘Is he threatening me with Team Four?!’ At this moment,

Cyrus, who had been listening quietly, spoke up. “You’re Mr. Blanke… right?” Stefano looked at him

indifferently. Cyrus smiled. “Mr. Blanke, you’re pretty nosey, aren’t you? Since you said this, let’s make

a bet.

“I’ve read the company’s rules and regulations. The minimum performance standard for a team is to

have a twenty-million-dollar project.” “In one month’s time, Team Four will have projects that cost

twenty million dollars and above. I don’t think you’ll have a problem with us then, right?” After Stefano

heard this, he was stunned for a while. Then, he was overjoyed. This brat thinks God sides with him!’

He laughed and said, “Of course. Mr. Salazar, it looks like you’re very confident in the team that you

just joined. I’m looking forward to your performance, then!” Korah glared at Cyrus fiercely. She felt

extremely annoyed. ‘Why is this b*stard causing trouble?!’
