“Test?” Fitz Bank looked at his mother with a hint of confusion and asked, “Mom, what do you mean by that?”


    Deana responded with a serious tone, “The primary reason Charlie is here today is to ask you that very question. Will you take this chance to conclude this pilgrimage?”


    Fitz Bank inquired, “What exactly is Mr. Wade nning to test me on? Is it my sincerity?”


    “Close enough!” Deana nodded slightly and borated, “Charlie’s approach is quite simr to his father’s. While I don’t know Charlie well, I am familiar with Bruce. He stands apart from most leaders; he prioritizes character over background.”


    After a brief pause, Deana continued, “In Bruce’s eyes, regardless of how influential someone may be, if their conduct is poor, he won’t associate with them, let alone consider them for partnership.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “However, many individuals today overlook this principle. Numerous executives have ulterior motives, seeking to extract value and ability from others, only to discard them afterward. They often prioritize skill over character in their hiring practices, but such individuals can be a double-edged sword.”


    “Even if they can generate significant value in a short time, how can two people with selfish intentions, who believe in a winner-takes-all mentality, create a mutually beneficial oue?”<fn7b2c> The rightful source is fι?dnοvel</fn7b2c>


    “Ultimately, this approach leads to more harm than good. This is precisely why Bruce’s primary criterion for hiring is a character assessment.” Deana emphasized, “Speaking of which, Charlie had Kairi ce your father under house arrest for a reason. If Zayne can understand this and meet Charlie’s standards, he’ll be granted his freedom.”


    “If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. After the wedding on the 8th, he will undoubtedly regain his freedom.”


    Fitz Bank asked, taken aback, “Mom, are you saying that Mr. Wade ns to use me?”


    Deana replied earnestly, “It might not be him using you; it could very well be your sister.”


    Zara Banks chimed in, nodding, “Then when my brother returns from his pilgrimage, he cane back to work at the Banks Group!”


    “Exactly,” Deana sighed. “Charlie is testing your brother, likely because of you. His mindset mirrors that of his father; he is quite meticulous.” Fitz Bank paused for a moment and then realized, “Mom, I see what Mr. Wade is getting at.”


    “Yes…he wants me to take on responsibility for Zara in a focused manner, but the condition is that he must feel my character has significantly improved from before. He wants me involved in the Banks family business.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
