Chapter 1030 Who Are You To Challenge Me “I’ve investigated and visited the restaurant across the street from our new branch as per your instructions, Sir,” the assistant replied.

Oliver’s expression grew serious. “You mean Maureen’s Kitchen?”

“Yes, Sir.”

Oliver felt a little uncomfortable at the mention of Maureen’s name.

She had been incredibly talented and smart since she was a kid. Not only did she outperform him in every aspect, but she even helped bring Moore Group to its peak shortly after graduating from university.

Oliver went to Maureen for help when his family went bankrupt, but she only gave him a low position in her company. To add insult to injury, Maureen told him he was unworthy of any positions higher than that.

Oliver held a grudge against her until she passed away.

Ever since she died, Henrick was able to successfully rule over her former subordinates. In fact, Oliver could become a director partly because of him.

Although Oliver still found himself reminded of Maureen whenever he heard her name, it didn’t really affect him much, as she was already deceased.

Having regained his composure, Oliver urged, “Go on.”

The assistant nodded as he continued, “It’s quite an old place, but has a great reputation. Thanks to this new and popular mobile application called Food Reviews, it ranks right below Jadeborough Hotel.

That resulted in a decrease in customers in our restaurant.”

Oliver nodded. “Noted. How are their dishes like? Do they live up to their reputation?”

The assistant hesitated for a bit before replying in the most conservative way possible, “They are indeed decent.”

“What?” Oliver’s expression turned dark instantly.

The assistant was so terrified that he quickly added, “It’s just mediocre at best when compared to the dishes in our restaurants. Although we mainly focus on western cuisine, we have incorporated elements from Ustranasion cuisine into our dishes as well. Our chefs have all been trained in Epea, so there’s no way that old restaurant will stand a chance against us. Still, that branch of ours came a little late, so they’ve managed to attract the customers beforehand.”

Feeling satisfied, Oliver nodded and ordered, “Very well, then. Since they don’t live up to their reputation, I want you to go ahead and contact its owner. If the price is right, just acquire it and move our restaurant there.”

“Yes, sir!” The assistant nodded and left his office.

“Maureen’s Kitchen…” Oliver scratched his ears in disgust at how inauspicious it sounded.

After closing his eyes to collect his thoughts, Oliver decided to give Jacob a call.

“Hey, Jacob. That b*tch went to the AI technology department today…”

Meanwhile, Calvin was still shouting and cursing at the top of his lungs when Arielle stepped out of the office with the bionic arm.

“Why didn’t you throw him a little farther away?” she asked Sasha with a frown.

“He was too heavy,” Sasha responded with an expressionless look on her face.

Triggered by what she said, Calvin ran up to Arielle and said, “Do you dare accept my challenge?”

“Why should I? Who are you to challenge me?” Arielle asked with a chuckle.

“You’re too scared to accept my challenge because you can’t write the program codes, aren’t you?”

Calvin bellowed through gritted teeth.

Eyeing him from head to toe, Arielle replied, “What have you possibly got to make the challenge worth my while? Your thick skin or your completion certificate?”

“You… If you can’t get the product on the market successfully, you’ll have to kneel before me and apologize as well as rehire me! How about that?”
