Chapter 26
Elliot and the others were also very surprised. They were still confused. They didn't understand why
Bob had offended the new chairman. They quickly distanced themselves from Bob to draw a line
between them, afraid that they would get into trouble.
Bob caught on and said wrongly, "Chairman, what did I do wrong? Why are you firing me?"
Tom stopped, looked at Patrick and said, "Ask him yourself."
Hearing this, Bob, no matter how stupid he was, realized that Patrick had offended the new chairman!
He just wanted to give himself a big slap now. He was so oblivious. When the new chairman mentioned
Patrick just now, the chairman obviously did not look happy! But he hated Patrick even more. This
scumbag was so stupid! Patrick actually provoked the new chairman and even implicated him. He must
not lose this job as a human resource manager.
He hurriedly explained, "Chairman, this is a misunderstanding! I've long disliked Patrick. This guy is a
parasite of the company who holds down a job without doing a stroke of work and makes no
contribution. He will only use his little power to secretly sleep with new employees. I've long wanted to
fire him!"
Then he shouted at Patrick with a cold face, "Patrick, from now on, you're fired. Take your things and
get out of here!"
This twist made the women who were about to seduce dumbfounded. Their impression of Patrick
changed completely. They only thought that Patrick was a piece of trash, not even as good as shit. On
the contrary, the more they looked at Tom, the more handsome they found him. Even though he was
wearing some cheap clothes that only cost dozens of dollars, he still exuded an air of nobility.
And Megan was already speechless. She still felt unreal. Was this man still the jerk she knew?
Patrick panicked and ran over, crying and apologizing. "Chairman, I was wrong! It was my fault that I
failed to recognize you and offend you! I won't dare to do it again! Please don't fire me. This job is really
important to me, please!"
As he spoke, he slapped himself. There was no such thing as arrogance in his look anymore. Now he
was just a stray dog.
Tom ignored him and said to Bob, "When you pay him the bill, add two thousand dollars as
compensation for scraping his car. Moreover, if I see him in ZQ from now on, you won't have to come to
work."
After saying this, he walked straight into the ZQ Building and ignored Patrick's heart-wrenching
confession.
From the beginning to the end, he did not look at Megan.
His indifference was worse for Megan than hitting her in the face!
At the same time, Megan couldn't figure it out. Wasn't Tom the useless son-in-law of the Scott Family?
For so many years, he couldn't even find a job. He did housework at home every day and washed his
mother-in-law's underwear. How did he change and become the chairman of the ZQ Media? Was
something wrong?
Megan couldn't figure it out. She called Phoebe. "Hey, Phoebe, what are you doing? I've been doing
well recently, um... Well, I want to ask, what's your husband Tom's background?"
Phoebe was upset. She was going to sleep with Mr. Cook tonight, but when she came back at noon,
she found that Tom had not signed the divorce agreement, and she didn't know where he had gone.
She was especially fretful. Now that she received a call from Megan who mentioned Tom, the
disgusting guy, she became even more annoyed. "What background can he have? He's just a country
bumpkin from the countryside! I really regretted marrying him back then!"
"Are you sure he's really a poor man from the countryside, not someone from a super-rich family?"
Megan asked with a frown.
Phoebe immediately became vigilant and said in a deep voice, "Megan, did Tom ask you for money? I
tell you, don't lend it to him, and don't believe him! Coming from a super-rich family? To hell with him!
He's just a country bumpkin who's as poor as a church mouse! I should have listened to you and
divorced him directly!"
"Is that so?" Megan's tone was a little strange.
"Megan, why do you suddenly ask about Tom?" Phoebe asked doubtfully, "Is he by your side?"
"No, no!" Megan quickly denied it and said, "I just met someone who looks like Tom, so I'm curious to
ask you. Since I'm mistaken, that's fine. I'll see you another day."
After hanging up the phone, Megan began to sort things out with her beautiful eyes rolling. Judging
from Phoebe's tone just now, she was very angry with Tom. It was obvious that the relationship
between the couple was not good, and most importantly, Tom did not tell Phoebe that he was born in a
super-rich family. Then she had a good chance of replacing Phoebe!
Megan was a very calculating person, especially good at seducing men. Patrick had already been
fascinated by her without even touching her hand. She believed that as long as she had the chance to
get close to Tom, with her beauty and means, she could definitely conquer him!
Moreover, Tom used to peek at her when she visited Phoebe's house, obviously interested in her. She
used to feel disgusted, but now she just thought it was great. If she could catch herself such a rich
husband, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life. She would enjoy endless wealth! After
all, he was an amazing person who could spend more than two billion dollars to buy the ZQ Media.
As for the misunderstanding just now, Megan was very regretful, but it was not a big deal. She knew
men very well. Now Tom must be very eager to hold his head high in front of her and wait for her to
repent and apologize. At that time, she would cooperate and show her weakness. It was best to take
advantage of the opportunity to win Tom's heart. With her skills, she could get Tom under her thumb!
Thinking of the beautiful scene, she began to laugh evilly.
Tom did not know that he had been targeted by Megan. Now he was surrounded by Elliot and the
others. He walked into the ZQ Building and felt very comfortable listening to them trying to curry favor.
Of course, he did not forget his original intention to buy the ZQ Media. Now that he was the chairman,
he naturally wanted to have a deeper understanding of ZQ so that he could make plans for the future.
He was hoping that ZQ would make a big profit for him.
Seeing that Tom was so young, although Elliot and the others were very respectful to him on the
surface, they still thought that Tom was just born into a super-rich family and didn't have much ability.
He only bought ZQ at such a high price to play with female stars.
But soon, when they reported ZQ's situation to Tom and heard his opinion and the analysis of the
market, they couldn't help but be surprised. They put away their contempt for Tom and were more
shocked by his vision and thoughts. He was not some playboy, but a really capable man. Many ideas
and plans that he put forward made their eyes light up.
Tom was originally a business genius and at least a third of the Howard Family's wealth was created
directly or indirectly by him. Now he must have no problem running a small ZQ Company. Moreover, he
was steady in his work. Before he bought the ZQ Media, he knew a lot about the current situation of the
company, so naturally, he could hit the nail on the head.
He was now a new official, but he was not in a hurry to launch a plan. He still maintained the original
model first, and when the time was ripe, he would take action.
After the meeting, he evacuated everyone except Elliot. "Mr. Cook, stay here for a while." Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
When Elliot saw his solemn expression, his heart thumped, and he began to feel uneasy. He tried to
recall that from the time he received Tom where he did not do well and caused Tom's discontent.
"Chairman, I was wrong. Please give me a chance to correct my mistake!" Elliot admitted his mistake
first, showing his good attitude.
Tom didn't say anything, but narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Elliot. He really wanted to fire
Elliot. After thinking for a moment, he said meaningfully, "Mr. Cook, you've been very powerful recently.
Lending 20 million dollars to the Scott Family in exchange for a beautiful woman to sleep with you for
three days."
