âChange of position?â Dillon Walker was taken aback.
Greg Jensen pondered for a moment and then said, âIâll give you the position of vice president, in charge of sales. The general managerâs position is already taken, but when she arrives, youâll need to do your best to help.â
Vice president?
He was being promoted to vice president just like that?
Dillon Walker was initially stunned, and then his body began to shake with excitement. He had served Ethan Locke as loyally as an ox or horse for more than two years, and had only earned the position of manager.
Given his contributions, he should have been vice president long ago, but it had always been Ethan Locke who was holding him back.
Now that the owner of Locke Enterprises had changed to Greg Jensen, he finally felt his wish was fulfilled.
âGreg, you can count on me, Iâll definitely give it my all for the company.â
âMhm, just do your best,â Greg replied.
Greg Jensen nodded and smiled, âIf thereâs any difficulty at home, just speak to us directly. Aside from our superior-subordinate relationship, weâre brothers after all. Donât be embarrassed.â
Hearing his words, Dillon Walker was even more moved, and tears began to well up in the eyes of the robust man over six feet tall.
He managed a strained smile and said with a choked-up voice, âNow⦠now itâs okay. The tough times have already passed.â
A sales managerâs salary is generally around eight thousand yuan, but he could only take home a thousand each month, with the rest being paid back to Ethan Locke.
It was only two months ago that he had finally paid off everything, and started receiving his full salary.
Thinking of the hard times his mother had endured with him over the past two years, his heart soured.
Before Greg Jensen came, he had learned about Dillon Walkerâs situation and knew what his family was currently facing.
The reason for Dillon Walkerâs promotion was not only because he truly had the ability, but also as a way to help him out.
So, seeing Dillon Walkerâs reaction, Greg Jensen knew what he was thinking. He smiled, then took out a bank card from his bag and handed it over.
Dillon Walker was stunned, and asked in disbelief, âGreg, what is thisâ¦?â
Greg Jensen smiled and said, âYouâve become a vice president now, itâs time to change your attire as well.
This card has three hundred thousand yuan in it. Take it and buy a few suits of clothes and move into a bigger apartment.
Later, go to the administrative department and get a car to drive. It will be more convenient for you to commute and conduct business.â
âGreg, Iâ¦â
Dillon Walker couldnât control himself anymore, and tears immediately flowed down his face.
Greg Jensen patted his shoulder and chuckled, âNo need for any more words; Iâve already said we are brothers.â
âYes, brothersâ¦â
Dillon Walker nodded vigorously, tears falling onto the coffee table with a clear sound as he did so.
After instructing Dillon Walker to take over the company temporarily, Greg Jensen immediately proceeded to Jamae Herbs Factory, where he found Taylor Ware in a meeting.
âAll right, letâs hold off on the meeting for now. Taylor, come out with me for a sec.â
âAh, whatâs so urgent?â Taylor Ware was caught off guard.
The rest of the management personnel also looked curiously at Greg Jensen.
Greg Jensen glanced at everyone and smiled, âWe need to discuss something, about incorporating the factory into Locke Enterprises.â
âIncorporate into Locke Enterprises? Are you joking?â Taylor Ware said in shock.
âIncorporate into Locke Enterprises?â
âDoes that mean weâre getting a new boss again?â
The other management personnel also exploded into a commotion at once.
Seeing this, Greg Jensen laughed and said, âYouâre all thinking too much. Iâm still going to be the boss because Locke Enterprises is now mine.â
âAh?â
âHow could that be possible?â
Greg Jensen smiled and said, âNothingâs impossible. Youâll be hearing the news soon. Taylor, hurry to the office.â
âAh, okay⦠okay.â
Taylor Ware stood up bewilderedly and followed Greg Jensen to the office.
It wasnât until she entered the office that she suddenly realized and looked up, only to see Greg smiling at her.
âMr. Jensen, what you just said, is it true?â
âOtherwise?â
Greg laughed, âWhy else would I want to integrate the factory into Locke Corporation?â
âButâ¦â
Taylor felt instinctively uncomfortable about it, yet she couldnât quite pinpoint what felt off.
It was like someone had taken away a beloved toy.
She had finally set the factory on the right track, only to have someone else reap the rewards all of a sudden.
âCome be the General Manager of Locke Corporation.â
âOh, huh?â
Taylor instinctively agreed, then suddenly froze, looking at Greg with a shocked expression. âWhat⦠what do you mean?â
âI mean, I want you to manage Locke Corporation,â Greg said with a smile.
Taylor swallowed and hesitated, âI⦠am I up for that?â
âHaha, why not? Locke Corporation is a mature business with its own operational methods.
At the beginning, you donât need to do much, just observe and learn. As for the positionâ¦â
Greg grinned sincerely, âGeneral Manager or President, or if you prefer to call yourself CEO, thatâs fine too. After all, thereâs only me above you as the boss.â
âI only have you above meâ¦â
For some reason, upon hearing Gregâs last sentence, Taylor suddenly thought of that leg pressing on her own, and her face flushed instantly.
Taylorâs appearance was somewhat androgynous, with a natural touch of boldness in her features, and she had always been decisive and efficient in her work.
But now, showing a young girlâs demeanor, she had a different charm.
For a moment, Greg was stunned.
Taylor realized the silence, looked up, and caught Gregâs leering expression, a secret thrill ran through her heart.
At the same time, her delicate face blushed even more, and her heart raced uncontrollably.
Both were silent, the atmosphere in the office turning ambiguous.
Time passed until the sound of knocking broke the quietude.
âMs. Ware, these documents need your signature.â
The secretary walked in briskly, handing some documents to Taylor that needed signing.
âYes, come here.â
Taylor stood up awkwardly, sat behind the desk, straightened her stray hair near her ear, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the documents.
Greg also regained his composure, glanced at the time, and smiled, âLetâs have lunch in the cafeteria, and then Iâll take you to the company afterwards.â
Taylor took a deep breath to settle her nerves and smiled with a nod, âOkay, sounds good.â
The factory took care of lunch, and Greg had always been lenient with his subordinates, so the food in the cafeteria was quite good.
When the boss and the general manager appeared in the cafeteria, they immediately attracted the attention of many employees.
Neither seemed to mind as they got their food, found a corner to sit down, and started chatting about Locke Corporation over their meal.
âThe name definitely needs to be changed; letâs call it Peach Blossom Group. As for other matters, youâre in charge.â
Greg pondered for a moment, âLocke Corporationâs business mainly focuses on medical supplies and clean energy, which are upstream industries.
Herb initial processing is also an upstream industry, so letâs integrate it directly into the group, setting up a separate division for it.
As for other industries, just observe for now, let them continue with their duties. You personally take charge of the factory, aiming to monopolize all herb processing and supply in the Jamae region.â
