Sir, Please Mellow Down A Bit

Chapter 524 Band-aid Solution!

Since Huaien dared to ask Qin Xiaoxiao to come forward, it meant that he was fully prepared. At this time, the pressure of public opinion on the reporters' side was already useless. Most of the directors inside the Barnwell group had been bribed by Huaien. What would he do next? Most likely, he would use Alma Jones to cut off their relationship and disrupt Hank's counterattack. Or maybe he would be more straightforward by sending someone to find her right away. "Su Yuan, you can treat Keith to a meal in person." Lyra turned around and said straightforwardly. "Treat him?" Su Yuan was surprised. But after hearing what Lyra said, she immediately understood. "Alright, Ms. Jones, I'll call him now."

"I'll have to trouble you."

"It's fine, it's that brat and his boss that owe us a lot." Su Yuan shook her head. Half an hour later, Keith sat uneasily in the dining room. His mind was filled with thoughts about what Hank had instructed him to do before he went out. No matter what methods he used, he had to figure out Lyra's plan from the lips of Su Yuan. However, when he saw Su Yuan, his mind went blank. "Sorry you waited long?" Su Yuan came over with a bag, dressed in casual clothes, looking particularly relaxed. "No, no, I just arrived for a while." Keith rubbed his hands over his knees, so nervous that he almost could not speak. "Are you very hot? Why are you sweating?" Su Yuan stared at him. "Perhaps they don't turn on the air-conditioner? So...why did you suddenly have dinner with me?" Keith awkwardly forced a smile. It was better to complete the task assigned by his president as soon as possible. Su Yuan propped up her chin with one hand and her voice suddenly softened.

"Nothing much. I just wanna meet you when I am sad."

"Meet me?" Keith's mind was instantly filled with blood. He couldn't hear what Su Yuan had said later. When he finally walked out of the coffee shop, Su Yuan asked him, "Then I'll take it as you agreed?" Only then did Keith move his head.

"Thank you." Su Yuan immediately turned around and waved her hand.

Keith swallowed a mouthful of saliva and ran back to the company.

At the same time, Hank was surrounded by the directors in the office. "Mr. Barnwell, the matter is settled. There is no need to be angry. If need be, settle down the Jones Group's employees, or give them some executive positions." Hank's eyes were cold, and he slapped the table. In an instant, everyone closed their mouths. "In the company, do my words still count?" With a cold question, the directors looked at one another. It seemed that they had really been spoiled by Huaien. All of a sudden, they fell to Hank's cold blooded management, but they were not aware as they were still thick-skinned. After they were egged by the other side, they came to Hank to talk about the conditions. They had simply forgotten how ruthless this man was. He did not even put his own uncle in his eyes, let alone them? All of a sudden, they did not dare to push their luck again. "Mr. Barnwell, of course we will obey your orders. It is all for the sake of the company's overall situation. It is better to acquire the Jones Group. Otherwise, once the truth of the matter is exposed, the outside world will definitely say that we are abusing our power to bully others. At that time, it will have a very serious impact on the company's reputation." "According to what you said, you want me to use money and promotion to silence the

Jones Group's employees, and then have my power taken away by others, and also come out to settle this accident just to satisfy your ambitions?" Hank glanced at their faces coldly

"I'm not a marionette like Qin Xiaoxiao."

Qin Xiaoxiao stood at the door and heard everything clearly. Her nails dug into her palms and she bit her lips unwillingly. However, she had to admit that Hank was right.

Her every move was ordered by Huaien, and it was not her own will.

But if she kept obedient, she would have a high status, a lot of money and branded bags. She wanted to be above others. This was the shortcut! "Keep an eye on the situation here. If there is anything, tell me immediately." Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at her assistant. "If you can't do it well, get out of here immediately." The assistant hurriedly agreed.

Qin Xiaoxiao walked back to her office in a few steps and dialed Huaien's number. Just after Hank subdued the directors, they did not dare to even breathe loudly. "But Mr. Barnwell, now that things have come to this, is there still room for maneuver?" "Remove all information about the acquisition of the Jones Group online. Announce to the public that the Barnwell group will be in charge of two big projects in the future. The headlines about the cooperation with Opple Group will divert the attention of the public." "I will handle the rest." The directors looked at one another. "Then..."

"As long as you shut up obediently, it won't affect your interests. But if you continue to muddle your way through and block my way, then everyone will perish together." They still had to rely on Hank to earn money. There was no other way around now. They all nodded in agreement. Before they went out, Hank added coldly, "My Second Uncle is getting old. Sometimes, his mind is not clear. If you insist on standing by his side, you will bear the consequences."

The directors hastened their footsteps and left the office.

They were all frightened. "Does Mr. Barnwell already know that we took Vice President Barnwell's money?" "It can't be. If he knew, would he let us go?" But when they thought of the fierce look in Hank's eyes just now, they couldn't help but be afraid. "Alright, let's go. Don't get involved in their own affairs."

Then, Keith ran out of the elevator.

"Mr. Barnwell, Su Yuan told me that Ms. Jones wants to take the position of vice president of the Barnwell group. Only then can she forget about the acquisition of the Jones Group." This was indeed a surprise to Hank.

"Are you sure?"

"Su Yuan told me personally, and she also asked the Barnwell group to sign a contract so as not to dismiss any employees. Then, the Jones Group will not have any objection to the acquisition process." Keith was breathless. If that was really the case, it could be considered as helping him solve his urgent need. He did not have to go through so much trouble to apologize to the Jones family again. Moreover, if Lyra really went to work for the Barnwell group, wouldn't they naturally

have a chance to meet? It seemed that in an instant, everything had progressed in a good direction! "Mr. Barnwell, I've already replied to the other side and agreed," a spark of excitement flashed in Keith's eyes. He had an expression of appreciation. According to his understanding of his CEO, as long as it was something that was beneficial to Lyra, he would definitely agree to it even if it cost him a great deal. There was no reason to reject something that was favorable to him, right? However, Hank showed no intention of praising him at all... Instead, he frowned and stared at him.

Thump.

"Mr. Barnwell, are you not willing?" Keith's face fell as if he had been struck by lightning At this moment, Hank's heart was blooming with joy. But he had to stay calm. Countless past instances had told him that it was too early to be happy. It would only make the little woman grasp his mind and take him into the net. "Regarding this kind of big matter, of course we have to meet and talk about it."
