Love at the Wrong Table Emmanuel Lowe Chapter 1232

Chapter 1232 The Creme De La Creme

55 6

This marked his first foray into the business world as a business owner, and his first opportunity to personally mentor a trusted assistant. He felt a slight sense of nervousness, but remained hopeful that the individual would

be a well-educated talent with excellent communication skills.

However, when he opened the door to the private room, he was taken aback. Standing inside was a man whose face seemed very familiar. Isn’t that Shane?! What’s going on? Could he be the expert from my company’s marketing

department?

Shane, too, was feeling nervous. Just as this was Emmanuel’s first time acting as a businessman, it was also

Shane’s first time leading a project negotiation. He had imagined his boss to be a middle-aged man in a suit and

glasses, exuding seriousness. But upon closer inspection, he realized that the man before him was none other than Emmanuel. What’s happening here?

“Manny, what are you doing here?” he asked curiously.

“That’s my question. Are you the marketing expert from M&L Group, the one recommended for the project negotiation after the company meeting?” Emmanuel couldn’t believe his eyes. He knew Shane very well; the latter had only completed elementary school in a village. Besides being thick-skinned and skilled at talking nonsense,

what negotiation skills could he possibly possess?

“Wait, so you’re my boss?” Shane, although not highly educated, quickly grasped the situation. “I knew it! I knew it!” Seeing that Emmanuel didn’t deny it, he exclaimed excitedly. “M&L Group, huh? I always wondered why the company’s name combines the ‘L’ from your last name and the ‘M’ from your wife’s first name. So, it’s a company you started with her money!” He continued, “Manny, you’re truly an inspiration for us men, achieving such success by relying on a woman. You’re the ultimate winner in life!”

He was genuinely impressed. The prevailing saying these days was, ‘Soon, I’ll get a promotion and a raise, become the CEO, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the pinnacle of life!’ And here was Emmanuel, who had perfectly achieved this. Compared to that, his recent stroke of luck paled in comparison.

Emmanuel was left speechless. When did he become a role model for relying on his wife? “Shane, as familiar as we are with each other, there are a few things I need to clarify!”

Seeing his serious expression, Shane also adopted a serious demeanor.

“First and foremost, M&L Group is a company I funded, and it has no connection to Mackenzie. She doesn’t even know that this company is mine!” Emmanuel stated. “Secondly, I have never relied on a woman. Mackenzie has never cooked a meal for me! Lastly, are you the marketing expert recommended by the company?”

Shane automatically dismissed the first two statements. He didn’t believe every word Emmanuel said. He knew that men who relied on women would never admit it. If he ever had the chance to rely on women in the future, he would definitely not admit it!

Therefore, he only answered Emmanuel’s question. “Yeah, Manny, it’s me. I was recommended by Mr. Houghton and the marketing manager, who recognized my abilities. I’m the best of the best!”

“The best? Give me a break!” Emmanuel was at a loss for words. “Do you think I don’t know how capable you are?”

“Hey, Manny, that’s a bit disheartening!” Shane shamelessly replied. “Although I didn’t study much, my abilities are on par with anyone’s, especially when it comes to talking nonsense with a straight face! Isn’t expanding the market

all about having the gift of gab and good looks? I happen to possess both!”

Emmanuel was utterly speechless. He didn’t know whether Shane truly had the gift of gab and good looks, but he was certain that Shane had a thick skin that was probably bulletproof. Well, I suppose it’s not unjust for Frederick to be replaced by this guy, as shameless people often have more luck.

Due to this reason, Emmanuel let out a sigh and remarked, Alright. Considering that you have been selected, I won’t undermine your confidence. However, it is crucial to emphasize the significance of this joint endeavor. You must ensure its success, alright?”

Shane flashed a smile. “Manny, do I have the option to decline?”

“No!” Emmanuel responded firmly.

“Haha! That settles it then! Since you won’t allow me to refuse, I will undoubtedly put in my utmost effort to secure this project, even if it’s for your benefit, Manny.”
