Chapter 755

James Deeds focused his attention and said, “This afternoon is the deadline for these two people to submit the project data, but they haven’t come to me. I went to rush them just now. In the end, these two people started to act dumb and said that the project data was confidential. Other than them, without the chairman’s approval, we can’t easily give the data to anyone.”

James Deeds became angrier as he spoke.

When “Ulric Swanson, was in jail, these two people knelt on the ground in tears and begged you to leave them a bite to eat. They even vowed to collect all the data and submit it to you. Now, they changed their words so quickly. It’s obvious that they regretted it when they saw Ulric Swanson return! They’re really fence-sitters!”

“A person like them can use Ulric Swanson for themselves. Do you think they can use it with peace of mind?!”

James Deeds cursed for a long time, but he realized that Ken Swanson did not react at all. He only looked at the scenery outside the French window with his back facing him.

James Deeds hesitated for a moment. He took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, “Young Master? Did you hear what I just said?”

Ken Swanson glanced sideways as a response. James Deeds quickly said, “Then why aren’t you reacting? Why don’t we fire these two guys now?”

Ken Swanson glanced at James Deeds as if he was looking at an idiot.

“The old man is back. Do you think I still have the final say in the headquarters?”

James Deeds’s back stiffened. He scolded himself for being brainless. How could he have forgotten that the chairman was back?

Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong were both directors of the company. Although they didn’t have much shares, since the chairman was back, they couldn’t chase him out without asking the chairman.

Moreover, according to the headquarters’ rules and regulations, they indeed did not have the authority to view those data.

As a result, they had no valid reason to expel Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong from the Swanson Group.

James Deeds scratched his head in frustration.

After a while, he asked Ken Swanson with a bitter expression, “Young Master, what do you think we should do?

Seeing that we were about to obtain the data, we could use the data to find out who was secretly colluding with Ulric Swanson. We could use this opportunity to completely exclude Ulric Swanson’s people from the headquarters.

“However, at this critical juncture, Ulric Swanson returned. All our plans have been disrupted… How are we going to get the data again?”

“What’s the rush?” Ken Swanson glanced at him and said, “Compared to that pile of data, you should think about how Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong were persuaded by Ulric Swanson.”

“Young Master… I don’t think he needs to think about this question, right? He was originally with Ulric Swanson. When he saw that Ulric Swanson was fine, he definitely turned back…”

After James Deeds finished speaking, he began to feel that something was wrong.

According to Ulric Swanson’s personality, it was absolutely impossible for him to keep such a fence-sitting person by his side.

Moreover, in order not to let them know about the data, what he should do was to make Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong disappear from this world, not keep them around.

What’s more, Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong had cried in front of the young master back then because they had found evidence that they had accepted bribes. In order to continue working in the company, they had been bold enough to betray him.

Now that the evidence was still there, weren’t they afraid that they would bring this matter up again?

“Something doesn’t seem right…”

Ken Swanson gave James Deeds a look that said, “You’ve finally reacted.” He said calmly, “Go and find out who Fox reconnected with Ulric Swanson. Find out what happened during the process. Otherwise… something like this might happen again in the future.”

Ulric Swanson had been in jail for the past few days. He had subdued many Ulric Swanson people.

It was nothing for Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong to betray them. If the others were also pulled back by Ulric Swanson, it would be a waste of effort.

Although James Deeds’s reaction was slow, he quickly understood this logic. He immediately said, “I’ll investigate now!”

“Yes, the necessary for the next few days. Let the black market assist you.”

“Yes!”

James Deeds quickly went to investigate Fei Yun and Xiang Jianxiong.

Ken Swanson did not stay idle either. He sped up the process of the office matters and went to the location of the meeting just now to inspect the project. Only then did he barely complete today’s work and return to the Swanson Group to pick up Melody.

Melody Fox had a long chat with the project manager, Jiang He, and had almost finalized the details.

Jiang He was serious and responsible, and his style was very similar to Zack Nelson’s, which was why Melody Fox left the rest to him without worry.

Just as she was about to leave, Jiang He suddenly spoke again, “Oh, right, Miss Fox. I wonder if you’ve thought about the name of the instant food product? I think you’re the most qualified to make suggestions and name it.”

Melody Fox asked in shock, “Isn’t it the Swanson Group’s name? Why do you still need a name?”

Jiang He explained with a smile, “That’s a brand logo. Food needs a new name that fits the product’s name.”

Melody thought for a moment and said, “pasta was started at Herbathrive. Why don’t we call it… Myriad Taste Hall?”

Jiang He’s eyes lit up.

“Myriad Taste Hall? Good name! And when it grows bigger in the future, it’ll be easier to write brand stories. Why don’t we settle on that?”

“Alright, if you have something better, you can use yours too. I can do both.”

“Alright.” Jiang He exchanged contact details with her and said courteously, “Take care, then. Contact me if you need anything from Fox.”

“Yeah.”

Melody Fox waved goodbye to Jiang He and was about to call to ask where Ken Swanson was when she saw him leaning against the wall across the corridor, quietly looking at her.

Melody Fox asked in surprise, “How long have you been waiting here? Are you done?”

“I just finished my work. Not long ago.”

Melody Fox grunted. Just as she was about to speak, she lowered her head and saw cigarette butts all over the ground. Clearly, Ken Swanson’s “not long ago” was not real.

She pointed at the cigarette butt and asked, “You’re saying that it hasn’t been long?”

Ken Swanson was helpless. He held her waist and said as they walked towards the elevator, “There’s something I might need your help with.”

“Yes? What is it?”

Ken Swanson was about to speak when the elevator door opened.

It was crowded with employees leaving work.

Ken Swanson kept quiet, but he did not let go of Melody Fox’s waist.

Melody Fox subconsciously wanted to struggle, but he realized that Ken Swanson’s hand had tightened.

Helpless, she could only force herself to remain calm.

When the people in the elevator saw Ken Swanson at the door, they immediately retreated from the elevator.

“Mr. Swanson, you go first…”

Everyone tried to curry favor as they secretly sized up Melody Fox from the corner of their eyes.

The last time Melody Fox came to the company and asked the receptionist to resign because of her, Fox, her identity caused a wave of speculation, but in the end, it was decided that she was a “relative sister”.

However, when they saw Ken Swanson holding Melody Fox’s waist today, they finally felt that something was wrong.

However, when she saw Melody Fox’s face, the guess in her heart was suppressed.

Before anyone could figure it out, the two of them had already entered the elevator.
