Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 96

“This is the plan you made for this year?”

Gideon’s voice was low and cold, carrying the prestige that could only belong to someone who outranked you.

The project manager lowered his head and almost broke out in cold sweat.

“President Leith, the company’s plan for this year is to preserve the achievements of last year. Now that the market economy is in a doldrum, we all feel that it won’t be beneficial to expand too quickly, so…”

“The market is in a doldrum… so just preserve the achievements of last year?”

Gideon sneered and suddenly threw the plans in his hand with a bang.

The papers hit the project manager’s face, and the man closed his eyes in pain.

The meeting room immediately became engulfed in a pin-drop silence. Everyone held their breaths.

Gideon said in a harsh voice. “That’s your excuse for trying to fool me with something even a fresh graduate can come up with? Preserve the achievements of last year? The Jincheng branch has maintained its achievements for three years, but they’ve been declining every year. I’ve already given you many chances! And yet you still have the nerve to take this rhetoric while I’m sitting here? Do you think I’m stupid and unable to understand the current market situation?”

The project manager paled in terror and hurriedly explained, “Mr. Leith, that’s not…”

“That’s enough! I don’t think you have the capability to keep this position. From tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to come to work anymore.”

The project manager’s eyes widened.

“Mr. Leith! I-I was wrong. You can’t fire me like this, Mr. Leith—”

However, Gideon ignored him and called for someone to drag him out. He continued in a heavy voice. “Next!”

The next manager went up to report his work with trepidation.

The atmosphere in the conference room was too low. Fortunately, this manager’s abilities were good and the report was quite satisfactory to Gideon.

However, the following person was not so lucky.

Because of a data calculation error that Gideon was able to point out just by hearing it, the manager immediately grew terrified and almost sank to his knees.

“Mr. Leith, I-I’m sorry. I’ll recalculate it immediately.”

Gideon sneered. Everyone secretly thought that this person’s career in Leith Corporation was about to come to an end.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, the buzzing sound of a mobile phone vibrating suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned.

Who dared to bring a cell phone into a meeting held by Boss Leith?

Everyone exchanged looks, but then they saw the Boss who was frowning at the head of the table suddenly pull out his phone from his pocket.

Everyone. “...”

They lowered their heads silently and pretended not to see.

Gideon despised having his work interrupted, so he was very displeased that someone was calling him at this time.

However, the expression on his face immediately changed as soon as he saw the caller ID on the screen.

It only took one second to go from overcast to clear skies.

He immediately stood up and went outside to answer the phone.

Everyone else looked at each other and started to discuss in low voices as soon as the man left.

“Who was that? Judging by President Leith’s face, it looks like something good happened?”

“Whoever dares to call President Leith at this time and even make him so happy must not be a simple person.”

“Maybe he negotiated a large deal involving several billion yuan?”

“That’s not necessarily true. A deal involving several billion is nothing to President Leith. It wouldn’t make him that happy.”

Matthew, who had been standing behind Gideon the entire time, had seen the caller ID on his phone.

Listening to the whispered discussions of the executives, Matthew could not help but smile.

‘Ms. Jennings, oh, Ms. Jennings. In everyone’s eyes, you’re an existence more important than several billion yuan!

‘As expected, the power of love is great.’

Gideon walked outside to pick up the phone. His voice instantly changed from the low and cold tone from before into a warm and genial one.

“Gideon, are you still at the company?”

“I am. What’s the matter?”

“You haven’t eaten yet, have you?”

Gideon squeezed the phone and looked out the window. “I haven’t.”

“Wait.”

Matthew turned around. Gideon frowned and hesitated for a moment before ordering, “Tell the front desk to bring Nell directly to my office if she comes over in the future.”

Matthew was deeply shocked.

Was the president planning to make their relationship public?

He did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly agreed before leaving respectfully.

In the first floor lobby.

When Nell arrived, Matthew was already waiting in the lobby.

Upon seeing her, he immediately welcomed her with a smile.

“Missus, you’re here.”

Nell handed the thermos box in her hands to him and smiled. “I hope I didn’t disturb your work by coming at this time!”

The corners of Matthew’s mouth lifted.

‘The president specially stopped the meeting because you came over. What do you think?’

However, he would never dare to say this, and said instead, “Of course not. Did you bring food for the president? It just so happens that he’s hungry. He was just talking about where he was going to eat.”

The two chatted and laughed as they entered the elevator.

The staff at the front desk saw them leave and immediately gathered together.

“Hey, did you guys see that woman who just went in?”

“I saw! So she’s the person Matthew was talking about! She’s quite pretty. I wonder what family she’s from.”

“What’s her relationship with the president anyway? The president has always disliked women coming to his office, but he actually made an exception for her.”

“That’s right. Even Matthew personally told us to bring her directly to the president’s office in the future. By the looks of it, their relationship definitely isn’t ordinary!”

“Could she be the president’s girlfriend?”

“No way! The president’s girlfriend is that lady from the Garrett family…”

“What are you guys talking about during work hours?”
