MY Masochistic CEO-Chapter 51 risky bet
Chapter 51: Chapter 51 risky bet
"Let’s not rush to laugh. Are you willing to bet?" I asked.
"What’s there not to dare."
Brandon looked at me disdainfully. "If you can really close deals worth tens of millions without any help, I’ll kneel down and admit you’re amazing!"
"Alright, you said it."
"What if you don’t secure the deal?" He asked.
"What do you suggest?"
"If you don’t secure the deal, publicly kneel down and apologize, admitting you’re trash!" Brandon said.
"Deal!" I nodded.
"But there’s a condition to this bet. You must close the deal within a week. Otherwise, I’ll consider you’ve lost!"
"Brandon, you’ve gone too far. William’s project is still ongoing, so how could he possibly develop new clients in such a short time?" Grace was anxious.
"Grace, I’m not betting with you. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Brandon sneered, "William, do you dare to accept?"
"William, don’t agree. He’s setting you up," Grace said.
No matter how Grace teased me before, at least now she was on my side. "Fine. I accept," I said.
Just as I finished speaking, the elevator stopped.
Brandon gave a sinister smile, and a group of people stepped out of the elevator.
Grace said, "William, why are you so reckless? Brandon is clearly provoking you!" freёnovelkiss.com
"Don’t you trust me?" I asked.
"It’s not about trust. It’s about it being simply impossible!"
Grace looked annoyed and said, "I’m a project assistant now. We rise and fall together."
I was a bit taken aback. Grace becoming a project assistant was impressive!
At this moment, Melody stepped forward and harshly reprimanded, "Are you out of your mind? Why did you agree to the bet? It’s clearly a trap."
"Is it so easy to secure a multimillion-dollar deal? If you lose, it’s not just your face that’s lost, but mine too!"
With that, the woman left angrily.
Back in the office, Brandon started spreading the word about the bet.
Many people couldn’t help but sneer.
"William, you’re really showing off too much," a man with short hair and an honest appearance said to me.
His name was Paul, and his personality and appearance were completely different. This guy had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but he was okay with me, never badmouthing me behind my back.
We joined the company at the same time, and our relationship was decent. If there weren’t anyone to talk to in the company, life would be too dull.
When I was punished for cleaning the toilets before, he was on a business trip. He must have just returned today.
"How’s your project going?" I asked casually.
"Not great, just so-so. Barely managed to get half of the final payment, the other half, who knows when it’ll come."
Marketing can be troublesome. Sometimes, you have to chase after the final payments, and if they can’t pay, there are fines.
"But you did well. While I was away, you caused quite a stir in the company."
He lowered his voice, saying, "Even snatching Philip’s deal, well done. I’ve had my eye on that guy for a while."
"Get out of here. It’s not snatching. This deal wouldn’t have happened without me."
I said that, but deep down, I knew it was just luck. So, I urgently needed a deal to prove my true abilities.
"Can’t I admit when I’m wrong?" He raised an eyebrow and asked. "I heard you and Grace are getting along well. So, does she have some skills? Got any pics?"
"Come on, she was just made a project assistant. What are you getting at?"
I do have the photos, but I prefer to keep them to myself. I’m not one to show off; making money quietly is the way to go.
"Sooner or later, you’ll share."
He patted my shoulder and sighed, "I might be able to help you with other things, but this bet, I’m powerless. You shouldn’t have boasted so much."
Boasting? If I can make it happen, it’s not boasting.
I thought to myself.
Just then, Jessica walked out of the office, her voice cold. "Listen up, everyone. Ms. Foster is coming down to inspect the marketing department today. Show your best spirits, and if anyone falters at a critical moment, don’t blame me for turning my back on you."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded in unison. This woman’s expression wasn’t good. Who had ticked her off so early in the morning?
Or maybe she’s on her period!
At that moment, Linda walked in from outside, followed by an assistant, looking very dignified! She stood on the platform, holding a microphone to speak.
Everyone listened quietly, but at that moment, a loud phone ringtone sounded, breaking the silence abruptly!
And interrupting her speech.
Damn. I forgot to put my phone on silent. In an instant, everyone’s eyes were on me.
I fumbled to grab my phone and saw it was an unknown number.
Who the hell was calling me now?
I wished I could smash my phone right now.
Just now, Jessica said not to mess up, and here I am, doing exactly that.
Melody looked at me, furious. "William, hang up the phone now!"
I quickly ended the call!
"Sorry, I..."
"William, come up here," Jessica shouted at me.
Oh no, this woman is definitely going to reprimand me.
And I don’t even dare to say a word.
Her face turned even colder. "Did you not hear what I said? Ms. Foster rarely comes down to speak. What a great opportunity! You don’t even appreciate it!"
Yeah, it was rare for her to come down, I had been with the company for over a year, and this was the first time she came down for an inspection.
I thought to myself, It must be because Tatiana intervened in the marketing department, and Linda felt a sense of crisis, so she came down to speak.
The purpose is to intimidate.
Unfortunately, I got caught in the crossfire.
Just then, someone below shouted, "Jessica, this William must be severely punished!"
"Yeah, he’s got no respect for you or Ms. Foster, not a shred of decency. If we don’t come down on him hard, the company’s rules and regulations are gonna crumble in no time."
Damn it, just because I forgot to put my phone on silent?
Were they making a mountain out of a molehill?
I glanced sideways and saw that it was none other than Philip and Brandon, the two disheveled twins.
With them chiming in, those who envied me also joined in.
"This matter is also Melody’s responsibility. She didn’t manage her team well, and she should also be punished!"
I thought, ’Damn it, target me if you must, but dragging Melody into this is too much!’
I couldn’t bear it anymore and said with a brave face, "Jessica, Ms. Foster, that call just now was from a client! I didn’t put it on silent because I was afraid of missing client calls."
Jessica furrowed her brows and said, "A client call? Give me your phone!"
