Cleaning toilets?
Upon hearing this, the face of Mori Jones instantly darkened. She defended Sherry Jones, âSherry is a talented graduate from Sayon University. Has our Jones Family grown to the point of assigning graduates to clean toilets? Also, I donât need upkeep from you guys at the company. All of my achievements were earned by my own hands. You can fire me, and Iâll just take my resources to another company.
I believe Sherry and I are the same. We can stand firmly on our own abilities, not like some people, who rely on connections to get promotions!â
Mori Jones made a forceful argument, but met with a sneer from Snowden Jones.
âWhat difference does it make if sheâs a university graduate? Nowadays, there are plenty of graduates who canât find jobs. Itâs been years since her graduation, has she ever held a proper job?
Donât think I donât know. When she was in River North, she was just a waitstaff at most. Assigning her to clean the toilets in our company is a promotion for her,â Snowden Jones said contemptuously.
Indeed, Sherry Jones ended up stranded in River North and worked as a waitress for a long time to avoid White Mitchellâs enemies, all the while undercover.
Then Snowden Jones turned to her boyfriend, Jacob Bright, âJacob, donât you think Iâm right? How can we assign such a person to the company? You agree, right?â
After hearing her, Jacob understood immediately what she wanted and pretended to agree, âGrandma, I also feel that this arrangement is inconsistent. If it becomes public knowledge, it might leave us open to the accusation of nepotism.
Such a thing would not be tolerated in the Bright family, nor would we allow others to sponge off the resources.â
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones had to give some face to Jacob.
She directly said, âIt would be enough if she stops causing trouble for the family. There is no need to bring her back to the companyâ¦â
âMom, we havenât even given Sherry a chance. How do we know she canât handle it? If this gets out, wonât it dishearten everyone?â Mori Jones continued.
Upon hearing this, Old Madam Jones began to hesitate. Indeed, what Mori Jones said wasnât entirely unreasonable.
The previous failed investment had already shaken peopleâs confidence. If word went out about the internal discord in the Jones Family, it might further destabilize morale.
âSnowden, Mori does have a point. How about we arrange Sherry to intern at your department for a month? If she is capable, she can stay. If not, then forget it,â Old Madam Jones suggested.
Old Madam Jones cared about Snowdenâs opinion. After all, they were relying heavily on Jacob at the moment.
But Snowden obviously didnât want Sherry to return to the company. However, out of respect for the Old Madam Jones, she couldnât outright refuse.
How can she prevent Sherry from returning to the company?
Snowden wore a thoughtful expression before arrogantly saying, âWe can let her intern, but on one condition.â
Upon hearing this, Sherry immediately became overjoyed and said, âJust give me the condition. As long as it enables me to return to the company, I will do
my utmost to fulfill it.â
Snowden heard this, laughed coldly and gave Sherry a dismissive look.
Want to return to the company? Keep dreaming!
âIâll give you three conditions. If you can fulfill even one, I wonât stop your return to the company.
First, the company is currently in debt of ten million to the financial company. I will give you five million and one month to figure it out.
Second, within one month, reclaim GH Company that your father once mortgaged to the Thomas family.
Third, within one month, help the company expand to ten new channel merchants!
Those are the three conditions. I donât care if you steal or rob, as long as you can fulfill any of them, Iâll allow you to return to the company.â wow!
With these conditions, the entire Jones Family fell silent.
Even Snowdenâs mother, Amanda, couldnât help but think: itâs harder than reaching the sky!
Yes, these three conditions are impossible to meet.
After all, the financial company the Jones Family owes ten million to is owned by Longman Jack, one of the two notorious underground rulers in Sayon.
Owing money to them is not a matter to be taken lightly. If the payment falls short, one might find themselves retrieved from the River Arch the next morning, let alone short of five million.
Then thereâs the second condition. Years ago, Sherry Jonesâ father, Logan Jones, in order to support White Mitchellâs start-up, mortgaged a promising subsidiary company owned by the Jones family to the Thomas family at a low price.
Now that the company is in the hands of the Thomas family, it has thrived. Thanks to this company, the Thomas family has securely occupied a position among the top third-tier families, and even has the momentum to challenge the second-tier families, vastly surpassing the Jones Family.
This company is a prized asset for the Thomas family. If they were to return it now, wouldnât that be like asking for their lives? The Thomas Family would hardly agree to this.
As for the third condition, compared to the previous two, it seems more achievable. But itâs far from simple.
On the existing foundation of the Jones family, all possible development channels have been exhausted. Finding a new one is already extremely difficult, let alone ten.
Even if Snowden Jones had about ten channel dealers on hand, how could Sherry Jones possibly expand ten new channels within a month?
In summary, accomplishing any one of these conditions within a month is virtually impossible.
Having heard this, Mori Jones immediately objected: âSnowden Jones! What are these conditions? Theyâre obviously outrageous demands!
Even if Sherry had never been involved in the companyâs business before, even your father wouldnât necessarily be able to fulfill these tasks.
In doing so, you might as well openly admit that youâre just looking for ways to make things difficult for Sherry.â
Mori Jones was utterly enraged, standing up for Sherry Jones. Nevertheless, Snowden Jones seemed completely indifferent, saying nonchalantly: âWhatâs the matter, didnât you just ask me to give her a chance?
I have given her three. If she canât seize them, who can she blame?
If she isnât competent enough, then she should not bother returning. The Jones family isnât a charity. We donât foster idlers.â
âYou!â
Mori Jones was dumbfounded, looking very upset at Sherry Jones, who was struggling to remain composed.
At that moment, Sherry Jones stood helplessly in place. Her pretty face was filled with bitterness. Clearly, she understood the difficulty of these three conditions.
However, she didnât want to miss this sole opportunity to fulfill her fatherâs last wish. Hence, she couldnât help tearing up.
Snowden Jones looked at Sherryâs distraught state and sneered: âIf youâre not capable, then admiâ¦.â
But before she could finish, an untimely voice suddenly rang out from behind Sherry: âWho says Sherry isnât capable? Iâll take on these three conditions for her!â
Huh?
In an instant, everyoneâs attention was focused on White Mitchell.
âWhite Mitchell, donât be impulsive. These are obviously Herculean tasks, weâ¦â Mori Jones advised, but White Mitchell just calmly stood beside Sherry Jones and silently took her hand.
Afterward, White Mitchell looked at Snowden Jones indifferently: âAs you said earlier, fulfilling one condition would allow Sherry to return to the company, right? So, what happens if we complete all three?â
All three?
When this was said, everyone, except Mori and Sherry Jones, had an expression of mockery on their faces. They looked as if they were thinking, âThatâs simply overestimating oneâs abilities!â
Snowden Jones just scoffed and said, full of amusement: âIf you were to complete the three, I would let her take my seat!â
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell simply shook his head in distaste: âThe truth is, Iâm not interested in your position. Letâs make this clear: if we meet these three conditions, Sherry will become the general manager of the company!â Whoa!
There was an instant uproar on the scene. White Mitchell was really daring enough to suggest that Sherry Jones be made the General Manager?
âWhat, donât you have the guts to accept?â White Mitchell sneered.
âYou!â
Snowden Jones was so furious she nearly blacked out. She gritted her teeth and snapped: âFine! If you can fill my three conditions, then she can be the general manager!
But if you canât meet all three, she should never dream of setting foot in the company again! And you! If you fail, youâll kneel in front of me and kowtow to apologize! â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Facing the belligerent Snowden Jones, White Mitchell gave a look of indifference: âYouâre not qualified enough to bet with me!â
After that, White Mitchell brushed Snowden Jones aside and turned his attention to Old Madam Jones: âOld Madam, what do you say? Are you on or off for this bet?â
