Jimmy had a deep-seated dislike for his boss. Upon learning that Nate Ellis was scheduled to pick him up from the airport, he quickly responded, “Alright, I actually have some matters to discuss with you face-to-face. I’ll send you my flight information once I book the ticket.”
Nate Ellis replied without a moment’s hesitation, “No worries! Just send me the details when you have them. Looking forward to seeing you at the airport!”
After hanging up, Jimmy passed the phone back to Steve. Meanwhile, Nate Ellis, who was in the United States, was anxiously pacing his room, murmuring to himself, “This is a disaster; Jimmy is definitely going to make this difficult for me…”
His wife, puzzled, asked, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you fire Jimmy? Why are you picking him up from the airport and inviting him to join the board?”
“Don’t even get me started…” Nate replied, visibly distressed. “Steve Rothschild, the heir of the Rothschild family, called me and insisted there was just a misunderstanding between him and Jimmy. This is unbelievable! To appease Steve, I handed over everything I could on Jimmy, hoping to see him jailed. But now, Steve says it’s all a misunderstanding and that he’smitted to looking after Jimmy. Doesn’t this put me in a tight spot?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
His wife gasped, “Steve Rothschild called you personally?”
“Yes…” Nate sighed. “After all these years of serving the Rothschild family, I’ve never had direct interaction with any of them. I’m not even in a position to do so; I usually only deal with their assistants or business managers. And now, the second-inmand of the Rothschild family has reached out to me? They must have each other’s contact information. If I don’t handle this right with Jimmy, he could very well take his grievances to Steve!”
His wife, rubbing her nose in concern, remarked, “I know a bit about Jimmy. He’s quite intelligent and not exactly a saint. Yourw firm has many capablewyers, and Jimmy is one of the most formidable among them. He might suspect you’veid traps for him, leaving him with ample leverage. If you can’t win his forgiveness, he could be a significant problem.”
Nate replied helplessly, “I’m not sure how to manage him now. I can’t tell if making him a board member will appease him. If that fails, maybe I’ll have to offer him more stock options to smooth things over!”
His wife inquired with concern, “How much are you thinking of offering him?”
Nate pondered for a moment before responding, “I think adding $5 million annually on top of his currentpensation should do the trick, right?”
Nate’s wife sighed, cing a hand on her chest, “I hope that’s enough; $5 million is no small sum, but to him, it may feel like a bargain!”
