Chapter 365 Young Master Jenkin’s Men

“Pre-… President.” For a moment, Hans Foster was frightened. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that he would offer a casting couch to Autumn Field’s president. Hans was baffled. ‘You’re a psycho, aren’t you, Winifred Zea? Why did you pretend to be a job seeker at your own company for no apparent reason? If I’d known, I’d never have done something like that to you,’ Hans mused. “Tom Zea, give me an explanation. Why is a degenerate like him here in our company? Moreover, this branch is currently in need of talents, but you have given such an important position to him?” Winifred snapped. Tom was speechless for a moment like he had some hidden worries, but he couldn’t say it aloud. Meanwhile, Winifred was seething with anger. “Talk!” “President Zea, uhm…” “What ‘uhm’? I said, talk!” Winifred barked. Tom took a deep breath and spilled the beans. “Director Foster was recommended here by Young Master Jenkins.” “Young Master Jenkins? Which Young Master Jenkins?” Winifred asked. At the mention of Young Master Jenkins, the initially nervous Hans seemed suddenly relaxed. Like he had found a backing, a cheeky grin appeared on the man’s face as he spoke, “One of the three new prominent families, the Jenkins’ family’s Young Master, Ocean Jenkins, is a good friend of mine. It was he who introduced me here.” “Prime City’s three new prominent families,” Winifred echoed. She had heard Tyr mention these so-called three prominent families before. Prior to this, below Prime City’s Yorke family, there were six prominent families. However, after Tyr had annihilated the Fisher family, only five was left. After the Griffin and Layton family rebelled, the Yorke family destroyed them as well, and out of the six prominent families, only three were left today. Hence, the remaining three families, the Woods, the Lees, and the Jenkins, were known as Prime City’s three new prominent families. “Are you afraid now?” Noticing Winifred’s dazed appearance, Hans had thought she was scared. “President Zea, you can’t blame me for what happened earlier. Who told you to come in feigning as a job seeker anyway? If I’d known it was you, I would’ve never said those things to you. So, let me apologize to you now, how I’ve disrespected you earlier. I’ve also suffered two slaps from you, so let’s pretend this never happened, okay? “I was introduced here by Young Master Jenkins. I don’t mind if things get ugly, but President Zea, that would mean you’re disrespecting Young Master Jenkins.” When Hans mentioned Ocean Jenkins, he was suddenly filled with confidence. From his perspective, Winifred was only the chairman of an inferior city’s company. Now that she had opened a branch here in Prime City, she would never dare to go against the prominent families in this city. The only thing he never knew was that Prime City’s prominent families no longer meant anything to Winifred. The fury in Winifred’s heart burned fiercer. “You’re asking me to forget it? Are you saying you wish to continue staying in my company as our human resources director?” “What else?” Hans asked back. “I’m someone introduced by Young Master Jenkins. Your Autumn Field has just entered Prime City, so you need to be aware that there are some people you can’t afford to offend.” Winifred was laughing from exasperation. “So, you still want to stay at my company to use the method you used on me earlier to defile the young ladies who come looking for a job in our company?” “Hehe, President Zea, don’t put it that harshly. Good girls would never have taken the bait. If those girls were as disciplined as President Zea, they would never throw themselves at me. You’ve also seen it for yourself when you came in. I’ve hired quite a few elites for the company recently,” Hans said. “Preposterous!” Winifred roared. “I don’t care who introduced you. Even if your backing is the emperor himself, get out of my sight this instant, right now!” “President Zea, are you serious?” Hans’ expression abruptly darkened. “Do you think I’m joking with you? Scram, now. Our Autumn Field will never use scum like you. Out!” Winifred was firm. Beside her, Tom was flustered, still hoping to plead for Hans, “President Zea, you must think carefully. His backing is…” “You, shut up!” Winifred glared at Tom. Had it not been for the sake of her relationship with Joseph Zea, that she needed to address Tom as her uncle, Winifred might have fired Tom along with Hans. “So, you’re serious, Winifred Zea. You have guts. Even if you don’t respect me, you won’t show Young Master Jenkins any respect, either. Just you wait. I’m telling you, you’ll soon regret it. “When that time comes, you’ll be groveling at my feet, licking my shoes, and begging me to come back.” After saying that, Hans left the company furiously. When Hans was gone, Tom looked worried instead. In fact, for Autumn Field’s branch to develop smoothly in Prime City, Tom was aware that Winifred must have quite a huge backing in Prime City. However, at Tom’s level, he had never imagined that Winifred would have a relationship with the Yorke family instead. Hence, when developing Autumn Field’s branch, Tom had to maintain relationships with different people. Prime City’s three new prominent families were at the height of their power, so they were not an existence Autumn Field could afford to offend. Which was why when the Jenkins family’s young master, Ocean Jenkins, said he wanted to introduce his friend into Autumn Field to take up a position, Tom dared not reject. “President Zea, I’ve heard that three of Prime City’s initially six prominent families had disappeared, and the remaining three have devoured their territories and corporations in a short amount of time, increasing their influence by at least one fold. These three families are invincible in Prime City now, with their influence spreading throughout various industries. With how you’ve treated Hans earlier, if we angered Ocean Jenkins, who is his backing, we might be inviting a lot of trouble unto Autumn Field.” By now, Winifred had briefly calmed down. She asked, “Was it Ocean Jenkins who threatened you to let that scum into Autumn Field?” “I wouldn’t call it a threat. It’s best not to get into conflict with the Jenkins family for now, so I did not think too much about and just agreed to it for us to secure our foundation here in Prime City. “Moreover, I know that Hans has a despicable personality, but I dared not chase him away so I could only conduct a second round of filters after his work,” Tom explained. “Okay.” Winifred nodded. After hearing the truth of the situation, she did not press Tom any further. “You can get back to work.” “But, President Zea, what about Hans’ issue?” Tom asked. Winifred put aside her hostility and aggressive attitude before answering, “You don’t have to bother about this. A mere Ocean Jenkins is nothing to me.”
