Chapter 153 Embarrassed on Television
'Blacklist?' Xavier was completely stunned. 'What the hell is going on? How could someone dressed so ordinarily be the boss of the Epoch Group?'
He couldn't believe it was true. "Ms. Cox, Mr. Abercrombie, are you joking with me?"
"Get out," Jaxon pointed to the door and shouted. He was a smart man. He knew that Xavier must have offended the boss, which was why he was blacklisted. "Xavier, you are fired. From now on, no entertainment company in the country will dare to hire you. You won't get any more movie roles, and no major entertainment shows will invite you. Now, get out immediately."
"Mr. Abercrombie," Xavier looked at Jaxon and said, "We just signed the contract."
Larry couldn't be bothered anymore and stood up to leave. He had originally come back to ask Xavier for an autograph to make Chloe happy. Seeing Xavier littering through the surveillance camera had already annoyed him. But since he was a lazy person himself and had no right to make demands of others, he didn't make a fuss about it. However, when Larry was leaving, Xavier actually used him for hype.
At this moment, Xavier deeply realized that he had really made a mistake. He hurriedly chased after Larry and shouted, "I was wrong. Can you give me another chance? I promise to work seriously. I am the biggest star nationwide right now and have over a hundred million fans."
Larry turned around, looked at the pleading Xavier, and said calmly, "Did you not understand what I said? Do you need security to throw you out?"
Hearing this, Xavier's face darkened, and he threatened, "I have over a hundred million fans all over the country. If you terminate my contract and blacklist me, do you know what the consequences will be? Believe me when I say that my fans will immediately storm Epoch Tower the moment I post this on Twitter."
Larry looked at him with a smile, "You can try."
After saying that, he turned and left. As he walked away, he instructed, "Sue, call security to throw him out."
Sue didn't dare to delay and immediately called security. Soon, security came up and threw Xavier out.
Larry then took a cab home directly.
Meanwhile, at a restaurant, Abigail was quite happy to have become the vice president of the Epoch Group. She immediately called Chloe out for a meal.
"Chloe, you know what? I went to the Epoch Group. I originally wanted to apply for a manager position, but Ms. Cox directly made me the vice president. This time, I finally have a chance," Abigail said excitedly.
"What, the vice president of the Epoch Group?" Chloe was shocked. Then she smiled and said, "Abigail, congratulations. By the way, the Everlasting Group is also planning to join the Epoch Group. Now that you're the vice president, you have to help us out."
Hearing this, Abigail's expression turned serious. "Chloe, although I'm the vice president of the Epoch Group with great power, abusing power for personal gain is a big no-no in our profession. If the Everlasting Group meets the investment standards, I will definitely help. But if the Everlasting Group doesn't even qualify, asking me to help would be asking me to make a mistake, wouldn't it?"
Chloe playfully stuck out her tongue. "I will work hard to make the Everlasting Group qualify as soon as possible. But when the time comes, you have to give me some inside information."
Abigail finally smiled and said, "That won't be a problem."
They were eating in a private room.
At this moment, the TV was broadcasting the news. "Good afternoon. Welcome to the Epoch Group News Channel. This afternoon, the big star Xavier appeared at the Epoch Group."
Chloe, who was eating, immediately brightened up and looked up at the TV. "It's really Xavier."
Abigail asked, "What? You like Xavier too?"
"I like him a lot. I love his songs, movies, and TV shows."
"Rumor has it that Xavier went to the Epoch group today to sign a contract and was ambushed. The assilant even injured Xavier's bodyguards. What exactly happened? Stay tuned." On the TV screen, there was a scene of Larry surrounded by dozens of security guards. It even showed Larry apologizing at the end.
Seeing Larry, Chloe's expression turned grim.
Abigail frowned and muttered softly, "What's he doing attacking Xavier? Does he have a death wish?"
Noticing Chloe's change in expression, Abigail asked, "Chloe, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Chloe waved her hand slightly and thought, 'It's one thing to embarrass Larry himself at home. Now he's embarrassing himself on TV.'
"Chloe, not to be rude, but Larry is totally unworthy of you. How about this, when I have time, I'll introduce you to Mr. Carter."
"Forget it," Chloe quickly waved her hand.
Abigail also shook her head, feeling sorry for Chloe. With Chloe's looks and talent, she could easily find someone better. Yet she ended up marrying Larry.
After the meal, Chloe returned to the Everlasting Group.
The Everlasting Group had a lot of issues, and she was solving them one by one. Moreover, with a few millions of dollars more in the company's account, she planned to make good use of it to expand the Everlasting Group in the shortest time possible, aiming to qualify for entry into the NextGen City Financial Center.
"Ms. Lewis." Just as Chloe was seriously writing the expansion plan, Drake knocked on the door and walked in.
Chloe looked at Drake.
Drake placed an invitation on the table and said, "This is an invitation sent by Dr. Rogers. In half a month, it will be the annual Pharma City event. At that time, every clinic on Medical Street will send their best traditional medicine practitioners to participate in the event and compete for the title of 'Divine Doctor.'"
Chloe nodded. She knew about this event. The medical competition was held once a year. Each time, it gathered doctors from all the clinics on Medical Street. Some even came from other places, aiming to stand out and compete for the title of ''Divine Doctor.''
But ever since Matthew won the title twenty years ago, he had never lost and had always been the ''Divine Doctor.''
"This time the Everlasting Group is probably just going to participate." Chloe was well aware of the Everlasting Group's capabilities. They couldn't even compare to the Everjoy Company.
And the Everlasting Group's clinic was even smaller, with only a few traditional medicine practitioners who weren't top-tier and weren't even members of the Traditional Medicine Association.
In Sunset City, there were many traditional medicine practitioners and the number of skilled ones was countless.
'Larry's medical skills...' Chloe thought of Larry. He had cured her twice. His medical skills were definitely excellent, perhaps even on par with Matthew.
In the evening, Chloe returned home. She wasn't angry about Larry embarrassing her on TV. She directly pulled Larry into the house and told him about the Medical Street event in half a month.
"A medical skills competition?" Larry stroked his chin.
Chloe said, "Larry, this is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. If you can stand out, no one will call you useless anymore, and it will also boost the Everlasting Group's reputation."
Larry wasn't really interested in the medical skills competition. With his skills, winning first place would be very easy. He smiled at Chloe. "If I can defeat Dr. Rogers and win first place, will there be a reward?"
Chloe thought for a moment and said, "Yes, if you win first place, I'll have sex with you. I promise."
