Chapter 137 Using Your Family's Connections
After dealing with Benjamin's matter, Abella took out her phone and gave instructions, "Mr. Wilson, do not allow anyone to buy the four villas and fourteen shops that are listed for sale."
"Yes, I will give the instructions right away."
A hint of darkness appeared in Abella's eyes, there was still another "surprise" to be given to them.
Sunrise Company headquarters.
Patrick received the news and immediately knocked on Steven's office door, respectfully reporting, "Boss, there's new movement from the clothing company."
Steven raised his deep gaze, his expression remained calm as water, "Who is it this time?"
Lately, that small company has been making a fuss every few days. I heard that it's being managed by a young girl!
"It's Benjamin, whom the headquarters sent." Patrick reported truthfully, "He ran an illegal website and instigated over a dozen employees in the company to place bets. These employees pulled in their relatives and friends to make more money, eventually losing everything..."
A deep glint appeared in Steven's eyes.
"He used despicable means to tarnish the innocence of female employees, not just one, but even recorded videos to blackmail them."
"By coercing those employees who were in urgent need of money to collude with him, betraying the company, Dylan, the former procurement department manager, and the warehouse and production line team leaders, were deeply harmed, ultimately ending up in prison."
"Just by selling the company's waste fabric, he made a profit of 693,780 in one year, and falsely reported the entire year's expenses..."
"Previously, he instigated employees to sell the company's good products, produce inferior clothes with low-quality fabric, stick the company's labels on them, and sell them elsewhere, pocketing most of the money..."
"Recently, he even sold the company's design drafts to a rival company, The Clothes Company. The Clothes Company is also trying to shift blame and attribute it to the company's designer, Abigail."
"Although she is currently being taken to the precinct for questioning, however... the company is facing a problem." Steven's voice lowered. "What problem?"
"Of the 33 new products we are launching tomorrow, 23 of them were sold to The Clothes Company by Benjamin. The Clothes Company quickly produced and released these 23 items today, which means that we won't be able to sell the millions worth of finished products in our warehouse." Patrick lowered his head, feeling extremely regretful.
Although all of this was caused by Benjamin, the company's losses could no longer be measured in terms of money.
"How is the company management responding?" Steven asked softly.
"The company is at a loss for what to do, but... that girl confidently said during the meeting that she has a solution. Not only can she prevent the company from losing money and damaging its reputation, but she can even make a profit!"
To be honest, Patrick didn't believe the girl's words, but Steven had a glimmer of hope. Since she took office, this girl had constantly surprised them.
"Is it true that she entered through the back door?" Steven asked calmly.
Patrick didn't expect the boss to care about such a trivial matter, so he quickly lowered his head and replied, "Yes, and she entered through your back door..."
"Hmm?"
"It was personally designated by Mr. Medici..." Patrick said.
"Surname Medici?"
"Yes."
Steven searched through his mind but couldn't recall any distant relatives or neighbors with the surname Medici. Could it be that she had exceptional management skills and won his father's favor, so he specifically hired her?
"Education?"
"High school..."
After saying these two words, Patrick worried that the boss would question her abilities, so she hurriedly added, "But her abilities are evident to all, and she is wholeheartedly dedicated to the company..."
Take, for example, the Benjamin incident. He concealed it from both above and below, falsified accounts, and deceived headquarters. Because the boss was occupied with myriad tasks and couldn't personally oversee every small company, he managed to pass through due to the trust placed in him.
Fortunately, the new Miss Medici caught him in the act. Otherwise, the company would have lost even more money!
"Has the gift been finalized?" Steven asked aloud.
Patrick bowed respectfully and replied, "The other party refuses to release it. We have negotiated several times but with no results."
"Who are these people?"
"QY said they are from the Bourbon family."
The Bourbon family and the Medici family have a long-standing relationship; Steven cannot afford to sever ties with the Bourbon family over a 30 million necklace.
They can only select a new one.
Mr. and Mrs. Medici hear this and angrily storm into the interrogation room.
"Mr. Medici, you finally arrived, wow. I was thinking of smashing my head against this wall, but then I thought, wouldn't I be playing into the hands of the villain if I were to do that?"
Benjamin immediately kneels by Mr. Medici's feet, wailing loudly, "You have no idea how that new girl at the company has been accusing me of all sorts of things. It pains me deeply. I still remember your patronage from years ago, and how could I possibly do anything to harm the Medici family or betray you? She has been bullying me!"
Benjamin clings onto Mr. Medici's legs, crying uncontrollably, "Mr. Medici, you must help me! Now, besides you, no one else can prove my innocence... all you have to do is speak up... and the girl who just came in, she's the one!"
"Are you saying my precious daughter has wronged you? You want her to go to jail?" Mrs. Medici's face turns cold, exuding a regal aura.
Upon hearing the phrase "precious daughter," Benjamin felt as if thunder had struck him, thinking he must have misheard...
"Mrs. Medici, you misunderstood. I was referring to the girl at the company..." not Lola!
"She is my precious daughter, by blood."
Upon hearing Mrs. Medici's words, Benjamin's mouth dropped open, speechless, forgetting all about his cries and protests...
Isn't that girl named Abella?
How could she be Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici's flesh and blood?
Aren't Mr. Medici and Mrs. Medici's daughter called Lola?
Moreover, isn't Abella surnamed Medici...
