Chapter 225 They Were Kicked out
The dinner was not in a five star hotel, but was held in a local special restaurant with a cost level of near two hundred yuan per.
However, Leo heard that none of the presidents who will attend this dinner had complaints. On the contrary, they thought highly of it that President Jenkins had been so honest.
The purpose of the existence of City Construction Bureau was to build the city on the aspect of entertainment, business and culture. And it’s not suitable for the officials to enter luxury places.
When Leo and Lydia arrived there, the room was full.
And most of them were unknown to them. They only knew about Brandon
While Brandon greeted Lydia politely, “Miss. Henderson, you are here.”
Then his look fell on Leo and said. “This is…?”
Before Lydia gave an introduction, Leo suddenly said, “I’m nobody, and I’m just here with Lydia.”
“You are just a secretary, Miss Henderson, that’s your fault. You shouldn’t come here with a nobody.”
A receding man said, smiling.
Although he was smiling, the irony in his tone was clear.
“Miss Henderson has a Connection, after all. Otherwise, it’s impossible to have her to join in the project.”
Following the receding man, a tall and slim man with glasses smiled and said.
“Lennon ,Jamie,stop it.”
Brandon frowned and scolded, and then he said to Lydia with apology, “Miss Henderson, they are Mr. Anderson and Mr. Mcdonald from ZB Building Materials Corporation and SY Building Materials Corporation. Please don’t mind.”
Lydia immediately frowned and Leo also narrowed eyes, looking at Brandon sharply.
Although Brandon was apologizing to Lydia, but he didn’t get a right point for the apology. He also agreed with what the two men said.
Before the city constructions project was taken charge of by the L Group. Brandon had given a reception to Lydia. He also thought that Lydia had a connection, so she got the project.
However, Lydia said nothing but got seated with Leo.
“Thanks for coming my dinner. The present are the business elites in this city, and it’s an important thing to jointly build a beautiful Emerdale.”
Brandon gave a remarks and then checked his watch, “Now as long as the Stewart family come, and we can start the dinner.”
The dishes and drinks were ready, but no one got started.
There was an eager look on the faces of the presidents present, especially Lennon and Jamie. They were so excited to rub hands there. Although there were so many people here, but they just got a little part of the construction project while the Stewart family got the most.
While Lydia picked up the chopsticks and the Leo also opened of bottle of wine and had a drink.
Consequently, everyone present looked at them unpleasantly and even Brandon also frowned.
“Miss Henderson, everyone doesn’t get started, but you and your secretary has started to eat.
It’s not suitable.”
Lennon Anderson and Jamie Mcdonald also stared at them coldly. If the Stewart family came, they would get annoyed when they found that they didn’t wait for them to have the dinner.
Leo still smiled and had a drink. “It’s noon now, and it’s harmful to be starving. If the dishes are not enough, we can order later.”
“There is no place for you here.”
Lennon looked at Leo in disdain and shouted.
“Miss Henderson, you have to make an explanation here.”
Jamie got it direct to Lydia.
There was no troubles between Lydia and him, but he just felt uncomfortable. After all, the present companies are the leading ones in different areas. While Lydia was just from a small Group.
Besides Lydia was a woman. Sexism in business had existed for a long time.
Lydia just glanced at them slightly and then said. “You don’t need to wait for the Stewart family, and they won’t come.”
“What?”
With Her words, all the presidents got confusion in their eyes, and even Brandon was shocked, “Miss Henderson, what do you mean?”
Lydia took down the chopsticks and raised her chin, snorting, “Because the Stewart family had handed the city construction project over to the L group. That’s to say, I will take full charge of the Reconstruction Project of Emerdale River.”
With her words, everyone was startled. Lennon and Jamie froze there with glazy stare.
“Impossible.”
Coming to himself, Lennon clapped and stood up, shouting.
“I don’t believe. How could the Stewart family hand the city construction project to a woman?”
Lydia got a cold look, “You look down upon woman!”
Finishing, she took out the contract and threw the contract before Brandon. “President Jenkins, you are the backbone in the City Construction Bureau and you can check this contract and make sure whether it is true or not.”
Brandon’s face changed. He picked up the contract and read it word by word.
He just read one page and then he closed the contract. He handed it over gravely to Lydia.
Lennon urged, “President Jenkins, Why you stop reading?”
“It’s real. It’s the real contract.”
Brandon shook head and smiled bitterly, “The master of the Stewart family really handed the project to Lydia.”
“What? I don’t believe it.”
Hearing, Lennon and Jamie got their faces changed and they grabbed the contract and read.
The more they read, the darker face they got. They turned to Lydia with envy in their look.
Lydia collected the contract and looked around. She said coldly, “You’d better make it clear that I now take full charge of the city construction project.
Only when we work together can we complete this project successfully. And there is no room for the outliers.”
It’s silent in the room, only Lydia’s voice echoed there.
With her words, the atmosphere in the room changed peculiarly.
Those people who looked down upon Lydia now said nothing. They looked at Lydia with respect and fear in their eyes.
After pausing for a long while, Lennon suddenly pointed at Lydia and roared with a dark face. “President Jenkins, this woman must have trapped the master of the Stewart family and grabbed this contract.”
Brandon wore a cold face and asked, “Now you tell me what method she had used to grab the contract from the Stewart family.”
“I...”
Lennon was choking. How could he know about the method that the L Group used to grab the contract from the Stewart family?
But he can make Lydia a nominal responsible person.
So he snorted and said, “You, as a woman, cannot take charge of such a big project. You now hand the project to others.”
Lydia laughed, “Are you kidding me?”
“Then sorry.”
Lennon wore a cold face and continued, “I claim here ZB Building Materials Corporation will not support the L group.” NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“And SY Building Materials Corporation.”
Jamie pushed his glasses and snorted. “The L Group doesn’t specialized in this area. Without us, I don’t believe that you can complete the project successfully.”
However, Lydia just looked around the present calmly, “Anyone else?”
Lennon looked at others and said, “Don’t fear. You just stand up. With me here, this woman cannot do anything.”
“Yes, and she will plead us to support her.” Jamie continued.
Under the instigation of the two, the others finally stood out.
“I quit.”
“I quit.”
“I also quit.”
Lydia suddenly lost everyone’s support, isolated
Lennon looked at Lydia, snorting, “Miss Henderson, now what can you do?”
However, Lydia, with no fear on his face, nodded with a calm face, “Now that you’re all kicked out of this project.”
Everyone was surprised by her words.
Lennon said angrily, “Who do you think you are? We are the companies that the city construction bureau designated to corporate, and you have no right to kick us out.”
“What’s more, you cannot kick us out until you get the agreement of the master of International Commerce Center.”
Brandon also shook head and no one had met the master of International Commerce Center.
However, Lydia just snorted and then turned to Leo, asking, “I now want to kick them out of this project, do you agree?”
Leo, who had kept silent, nodded and smiled. “Yes, you can take all of them out.”
