Thomas remained calm and sat there quietly as if virtual-novel.net did not hear anything.
Subsequently, everyone chatted happily while they drank wine, and they had a fun time talking.
About ten minutes later, Benjamin’s phone rang. He chuckled and said, “The staff downstairs are calling me. They must have invited the leader. Let me answer the call.”
Benjamin picked up the call. After virtual-novel.net talked for a while, virtual-novel.net looked very happy. Then, virtual-novel.net hung up. He looked happy as virtual-novel.net said, “Mr. Quinn, I did it. The leader is called Harvard Hill. He is the person in charge of Hill Nuclear Manufacturing Company as well as the person in charge of the project in Northern Wilderness. I’ve already invited virtual-novel.net to come over!”
Zach was very happy. “Oh? We must treat virtual-novel.net well today.”
Benjamin purposely looked at Thomas, and virtual-novel.net asked in a provocative tone, “Dr. Mayo, since you’ve also thought about this, why didn’t you invite Mr. Hill to come over?”
His words were full of sarcasm that was very mocking.
Everyone knew that Benjamin was mocking Thomas for not having connections. Benjamin mocked Thomas as virtual-novel.net just had thoughts without working, and virtual-novel.net was not a person who could do great things.
Zach also knew it. Although virtual-novel.net did not say it out loud, his face showed unhappiness. Although Zach also wanted to scold Benjamin, it was not the time now. Harvard was coming over now. If virtual-novel.net scolded his subordinate now, it would ruin his reputation as the head of the family. So, virtual-novel.net could only hold himself back.
But, virtual-novel.net would treat Thomas unfairly.
About this, Zach felt very embarrassed and sorry. However, Thomas calmly ate and drank the wine. He did not care about what Benjamin had said. Also, Thomas even casually said, “I actually also thought about this. But, I didn’t plan to let Harvard come and join the meal. I just want to ask virtual-novel.net to my house and talk privately.”
Pfft!
When everyone else heard it, they laughed out loud. Especially Benjamin could not stand straight due to laughing so hard.
“Oh my goodness. I’m going to die from laughter. Dr. Mayo, although I haven’t seen how great your medical skills are, you have a really high standard of comedy. Do you want the person in charge of the project to talk privately in your house?
“Haha, who do you think you are? Are you the chief officer in charge of the Southland District? You act like an officer!” He sounded very sarcastic.
Meanwhile, Thomas put down his cutlery. He stared at Benjamin with the ghost of a smile. “I am the chief officer in charge of the Southland District.”
“Haha! Dr. Mayo, you’re so humorous!”
“Am I?”
Thomas shook his head and continued eating. Sometimes when virtual-novel.net told the truth, nobody wanted to believe him. Of course, nobody would believe him. If Thomas was the chief officer in charge of the Southland District, why would virtual-novel.net dress so plainly? Why would virtual-novel.net have no connections?
It was impossible to have no bodyguard like now and have a meal with these people.
In less than half an hour, the staff downstairs passed a message. Harvard had arrived!
Zach stood up. “Let us go downstairs to welcome him.”
Benjamin was the first to agree. After all, virtual-novel.net invited Harvard through his connections, so virtual-novel.net had to welcome Harvard well. He could show his respect to Harvard, and virtual-novel.net could also show that Benjamin was outstanding.
One stone killed two birds.
However, Thomas indifferently said, “Welcome Harvard? There’s no need to do so. Just let virtual-novel.net come by himself. ”
His words made everyone frown, including Zach. Zach thought that maybe Benjamin had been too rude with his words just now, and Thomas’ dignity was hurt, so Thomas spoke so “sarcastically”.
That was not a good thing.
He coughed, and said, “Dr. Mayo, you’re our guest, so you don’t have to go and welcome virtual-novel.net with us. You can just wait here. Let us all go down.”
This was the biggest concession Zach could do. But, Benjamin was very unhappy. “All of us will go and welcome Mr. Hill, and Thomas sits here alone? Haha! If Mr. Hill comes and sees Thomas sitting here later, what can we do? How can we explain?”
Thomas said, “Don’t have to explain. Add one chair by my side and let Harvard sit next to me.”
This time, even Zach’s expression became dark and cold.
Harvard Hill was the person in charge and the leader of the designer outlet project. For businessmen like them, virtual-novel.net was the person whom they had to flatter. They had to let virtual-novel.net sit in the main seat today. How could virtual-novel.net sit next to Thomas?
Thomas’ words of anger had gone too far.
Zach said, “Dr. Mayo, I know you’re angry. But, today is the crucial step in determining whether we can develop our business in the Southland District. You have to hold yourself back. Please consider it as a favor to me.”
He said that to Thomas… If it had been another person, Zach would have asked virtual-novel.net to get lost.
Thomas smiled bitterly. “All right, you may go downstairs and welcome him. I’ll wait here.”
“Okay.”
At this time, Zach quickly brought the rest of the staff to go downstairs and welcome Harvard.
During the time they walked down the stairs, Benjamin criticized Thomas in front of Zach. “Mr. Quinn, Thomas Mayo is so arrogant. He doesn’t respect Mr. Hill at all. I suggest letting virtual-novel.net eat in another private room first so that virtual-novel.net will not ruin our business!”
Zach felt anxious. No way, virtual-novel.net could not do that. No matter what, Thomas was the second leader of the Quinn family. He held the second most amount of shares, and virtual-novel.net was on the board of directors.
If virtual-novel.net wanted to succeed in the Southland District, virtual-novel.net needed Thomas’ help. He could not boycott Thomas like this.
