Winner Takes All
Chapter 7 Acquiring a Company
“What are you laughing at?”
Ben frowned intensely and said arrogantly, “You should get this shit done. I help you and now you expect me to take the blame for you when things go wrong?”
Hearing Ben’s bullshit, Jack shrugged furiously and taunted, “Sorry. I’m not shouldering this.”
What?!
‘This guy’s gotta go mad.’
In the past when something similar happened, Jack always agreed without a word.
But now he was not what he used to be.
Ben felt flustered. With the 30 million contract, the company would ultimately go bankrupt.
If Aiden knew this, he would be kicked out of the company.
Over these years he had been an idle general manager. If he didn’t find a scapegoat for this, then how could he be able to find another comfortable job and yet enjoy the benefits of the company?
It was obvious that the best person to take the blame would be Jack, the deputy general manager.
Over these years every time things went wrong, Jack had been the one who shouldered the blame. But Ben had always taken the credit after Jack got things done. So Ben had got used to treating Jack in the same way.
But now, Jack’s refusal caught him off guard.
“Jack, what kind of attitude is this? You wanna go home, don’t you?”
Ben stood up furiously and pointed at Jack’s nose, “You have what you have today because I have sung your praises to Aiden over these years. Otherwise, you are just a poor project manager.”
Jack replied coldly, “Are you singing your own praises? Over these years, you are only focused on sucking up to your Aiden. Each time when things messed up, I was the one who cleared up your mess. You should be grateful to me.”
Bang!
Ben slapped the table and said sternly, “You must get this shit done. Here are 100 grand. Think about it. Take this money to get your dying old mom a decent meal, and make her pathetic life last a little longer. Otherwise, you’ll lose your job and you lose your dying old mom then.”
Jack frowned as if he was ready to explode at any second.
