Don Albert remarked, “Even though you’ve managed this situation quite unfairly, I won’t make it overly difficult for you. I’m not insisting that you reassign Mr. Willson to the role of executive vice president, but it’s imperative that you at least secure him a position in middle management. Furthermore, I strongly encourage you to find a moment to apologize to Mr. Willson in person. Your handling of this situation was rather harsh, and a personal apology is essential.”


    “Alright, alright! I will certainly do it!” President Pei felt he could say nothing more to Don Albert and simply nodded in agreement. It wasn’t too challenging for him to apologize to Jacob directly, but the task of finding a middle-level management role for Jacob loomedrge. If only he hadn’t acted rashly under his wife’s influence earlier, it would have been an opportune moment to demote Jacob and promote several key individuals instead.


    Regrettably, he had let that chance slip away, and now he felt as if he were rowing against the tide, making it quite a tough situation to navigate.


    However, despite the challenges ahead, he didn’t dare to negotiate with Don Albert.


    Don Albert gave a cold nod and warned him, “Since you’ve imed you can manage this, I expect a concrete answer from you by tomorrow.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Understood!” President Pei clenched his jaw and replied, “I’ll convene a meeting to address this right away!”


    Don Albert smiled and casually added, “President Pei, I imagine you’ll be tied to the Calligraphy and Painting Association for quite some time. You and Mr. Jacob will be working closely together in the future, so I hope you can foster a good working rtionship.” With that, Don Albert abruptly hung up, leaving no room for President Pei to respond.


    His words jolted President Pei from his thoughts.


    Suddenly, he realized why his advancement hade to a standstill; it was all due to theyoffs. The root of the issue was none other than Don Albert!

    The true issuey entirely with Jacob!


    Don Albert must have recognized that he was taking advantage of Jacob, leading him to sever Pei’s path to promotion. This was an opportunity he had yearned for nearly a decade. He was on the brink of a major breakthrough, only to see it all unravel because of Jacob!


    If he had treated Jacob with fairness instead of deceit, fulfilling his promises and protecting him, he believed he would have received that promotion by now!


    Lost in these thoughts, President Pei felt utterly defeated. He couldn’t help but vent his frustration to his wife, grumbling internally: “That woman thinks she’s so clever and strategic, but she’s thrown away a fortune for a mere trifle. The chance I have waited years for has beenpletely derailed by her!”


    As President Pei simmered in his frustration, his wife decided to call him. When he saw her picture pop up on his phone, his anger red. He answered the call, his voiceced with fury: “Huang Qiuyun, how dare you call me!”
