Chapter 17 Something's Not Right!
Michael's face lit up at once.
Ding Group had plenty of professional security guards. With just one phone call from Natalie Mitchell, dozens of guards could easily take care of Daniel. There was nothing to fear.
So, he said to David Butler, "Get me two million in invoices. I'll need them tomorrow. Keep my number and have them delivered to me tomorrow morning. Then your company and Ding Group can continue working together."
David Butler repeatedly expressed his agreement and began saving Michael's number.
"Why does Young Master need these invoices?" Natalie Mitchell asked curiously.
Michael smirked, "My wife has always wanted to own a Palamerla. Tomorrow, I'll trick her cousin out of two million and buy one for her."
Natalie Mitchell chuckled.
David Butler, on the other hand, took note of it.
My sister-in-law likes Palamerla, so I must buy one and give it to her!
As Michael and Natalie Mitchell left the bar, Charlotte and Daniel happened to get into a Bentley. In response, Michael got into Natalie Mitchell's Ferrari and followed behind.
Inside the Bentley, Charlotte was still a bit tipsy.
"Eh, I'm completely overwhelmed now, feeling dizzy and nauseated. I quickly said, 'Daniel, stop the car, I'm going to throw up.'
Screech!
Daniel immediately pulled the car to the side, and Charlotte opened the car door, vomited, and made a mess on the ground.
Natalie Mitchell's Ferrari also stopped, and Michael was about to get out of the car but was stopped by Natalie Mitchell. She said, 'The young master's injuries haven't healed yet. Going over there now will only result in a fight. Daniel, you drive. No matter how drunk your wife is, he won't harm her.'
Michael thought it made sense, so he endured it.
After a bout of vomiting, Daniel helped Charlotte into the backseat of the Bentley. Seeing that she was completely drunk, he abandoned the idea of taking her to drink some more.
He closed the car door and shouted to the several luxury cars, 'Brothers, let's go to Hilton. I need to take care of Charlotte and maybe get each of you a playmate.'
The drivers of the other cars all made an OK gesture.
Daniel laughed heartily and returned to the driver's seat. The Bentley quickly started.
At this time, Natalie Mitchell also dialed a number and said, 'Get ten security cars to Hilton as quickly as possible.'
Beep...
She hung up and started the Ferrari to follow.
Not long after, Daniel's car arrived at the parking lot of the Hilton Hotel, and they helped the drunken Charlotte out of the car.
'Daniel, you've been dreaming of pushing Charlotte, and tonight you can finally fulfill your wish,' a young man said.
'Daniel, remember to shoot a video. So that next time you want to push her, she won't resist,' another young man smirked.
Daniel chuckled and said, 'I must shoot a video. With the video in hand, she won't be able to resist me.'
"Hahaha!"
The group of young men laughed loudly and headed towards the Hilton's entrance.
'I can't wait for the security. I have to go and stop them first.'
Michael quickly got out of the car and ran over to intercept Daniel and his companions.
He said, 'Daniel, give Charlotte to me. Otherwise, I will make you suffer a terrible death. I've already called ten guys who are on their way.'
Daniel and his companions were stunned at first, but then burst into laughter.
'Who do you think you are scaring? Just relying on you can't even get ten guys to come? You think you can oppose me just because you know a few thugs? Let me tell you, even if you had another hundred years, you wouldn't have the ability to oppose me. Get lost!' Daniel said coldly with a grim face.
'I'm not joking with you,' Michael said seriously and sternly. 'The ten guys will be here soon. If you don't believe me, wait a few minutes.'
He needed to stall for time. What if the reinforcements arrived late and this scumbag harmed Charlotte?
'I don't believe you, damn it!' Daniel jeered angrily."
"Get out of the way now! How dare you ruin my good time? You're going to die a terrible death!" As he finished speaking, he prepared to push Michael away.
Just then, a cry of surprise rang out. "Holy shit! Daniel, look! So many vans have stopped!" "Really?" Daniel couldn't believe it, but still turned to look. And with that look, his pupils constricted, and he burst out swearing. "Holy shit! There are really so many vans!" Vans can seat seven or eight people, so with ten of them, there must be seventy or eighty people. If these were the reinforcements Michael called, they wouldn't stand a chance against so many people with just the few of them. So, he looked at Michael and asked, "Did you really call these vans?"
Michael smirked proudly and said, "If you don't believe me, just wait and see if they'll beat you up or not." "Why should I believe that you have such ability?" Daniel sneered, thinking it might be a coincidence.
Just then, a group of people rushed out of the ten stopped vans, each wielding a rubber baton, all wearing identical black shirts, and each one big and tall, just like soldiers. It was quite intimidating.
"Over here!" Michael shouted. The people who came out of the vans immediately looked over, and one of the burly men shouted, "Charge! Beat those bastards to death!" As soon as the words fell, sixty- or seventy-men holding rubber batons rushed over like bees swarming.
"Holy shit!" Daniel's friends were scared half to death and scattered like they had seen a ghost. Gulp! Daniel was also frightened, swallowing hard, and quickly pushed Charlotte towards Michael, saying, "You're cruel." Then, he ran off.
"Don't run!" A group of security guards chased after him while shouting.
"Haha!!!" Michael was overjoyed, one arm embracing the intoxicated Charlotte, and the other thumb raised towards Natalie Mitchell inside the Ferrari.
Natalie Mitchell smiled and asked, "Are you two staying here or should I take you home?"
Michael smiled back and replied, "We'll stay here."
Without hesitation, Natalie Mitchell started the car and drove off.
Before long, Michael helped Charlotte into the hotel room and placed her on the bed.
Looking at Charlotte's enchanting figure, Michael wanted to help her but hesitated. It wasn't until he smoked three cigarettes that he gathered the courage to sit at the edge of the bed and unbutton Charlotte's blouse.
As soon as he unbuttoned it, his head instantly got congested, and he felt his nose run. He wiped it with his hand, which was now red. "Oh my god, I'm having a nosebleed!" Michael was startled and quickly rushed into the bathroom. It took quite a while for him to come out, using tissue paper to stop the bleeding, and keeping one eye open.
"Close one eye and continue working."
It took a full ten minutes to hang Charlotte's blouse and jeans on the hanger before he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Afterward, he dragged a chair and sat by the bed, using Charlotte's phone to send a Whatsapp message to her mom, letting her know that they were at Scarlett's house and not to worry.
He fell asleep on the bed, drowsy and unaware of the passing time.
...
The next morning at nine o'clock, in the Wright Group conference room, all department heads were present, and the patriarch, Gary Wright, personally presided over the meeting and gave a speech.
"Everyone is well aware of the recent situation in the company, right? And the cause of all this is the poor decision-making by our CEO, Charlotte. Therefore, I've decided to remove Charlotte from her position and appoint Joshua as the new CEO. Does anyone object?"
"I have no objections!"
"I have no objections!"
"I don't object either!"
Joshua's parents, uncles, and aunts were the first to raise their hands.
The managers and supervisors of some departments followed suit, regardless of who became the CEO, as long as their salaries weren't reduced.
"Hahaha!"
Joshua was overjoyed and stood up, saying, "During this period, due to the incompetence of Charlotte, she brought the company to the brink, causing significant losses for the company and all of you, especially the business department. The commission is gone, and everyone is struggling."
"But it's alright. Now that I, Joshua, am taking over, I guarantee you that within three days, we'll secure a billion dollars loan, establish a cooperation with Hengrong Group, make Wright Group bigger and stronger, and make money for the company while allowing all of you employees to earn more!"
Applause erupted.
"President Harris, listening to your speech, I suddenly realize that you are more suited to be the CEO than Charlotte." The manager of the business department flattered.
"Of course." Joshua proudly said, "Although I don't have her education, my brain is more functional than hers. She's just a mindless woman with a big chest. Unable to secure a loan, she actually forged a major client gold card from Citibank to deceive for a loan. Do you think someone like her can manage a company?"
"Is it true?"
The managers from various departments were all surprised.
"How could it be false?" Joshua smiled, "If I'm not mistaken, the police should already be mobilized at this point, ready to arrest Charlotte on charges of loan fraud."
Everyone sighed, thinking Charlotte was foolish. Even if it was a loan deception, she shouldn't have done it like this!
Just then, a female finance staff rushed in frantically.
"Chairman! Chairman! Something terrible has happened!"
Gary Wright's heart skipped a beat, and he anxiously asked, "What major event has occurred?"
The female finance staff hurriedly spoke, "Just now, Mr. Hughes from Citibank..."
Call Mr. Harris and ask him to bring the documents and certificates to the corporate counter to process a 100-million-yuan interest-free loan. Mr. Hughes is already waiting at the bank."
