A Man Like None Other Chapter 139

Chapter 139 You Must Have Lost Your Mind

“Stop yakking! Give me the information!”

Impatience was written all over Jared’s face. Hah! He’s just blathering away because he’s jealous of me and wants to humiliate me!

With a frosty expression, Zayne tossed the folder containing the relevant information to Jared.

Hmph! This time, I’ll definitely figure out some way to give you the boot! How dare you act so arrogantly with me! he inwardly swore even as he gritted his teeth.

“What’s the meaning of this, Zayne? I’ve been the one negotiating the collaboration with Cosmic Chemical! Do you know how long I’ve been at it? Why did you give it to him all of a sudden?” Maria roared at Zayne as she panicked.

Everyone knew that Cosmic Chemical was a huge client, and the commission would certainly be a pretty penny if one managed to secure the collaboration. That was why Zayne gave the project to Maria from the start. Considering their relationship, no one in the sales department dared to have any objections.

Furthermore, Zayne had made several trips to Cosmic Chemical’s office with Maria for the sake of the collaboration, and Maria had been working particularly hard.

Thus, it was only natural that she was apoplectic when the client was abruptly given to Jared then.

Zayne tugged her aside and whispered, “Don’t kick up a fuss first. I’ll explain things to you later.”

After saying that, he turned to Jared and declared, “This is the company’s most important client, so you’ve got to settle it as soon as possible, Jared. As such, give me a specific time frame as to when you can clinch the deal.”

“Tomorrow, I guess.”

Jared initially wanted to say that afternoon, but on second thought, he still needed to inform Tommy and make the arrangements beforehand, so he said tomorrow instead.

“Tomorrow?” Zayne was knocked sideways.

In fact, everyone in the sales department was staggered. They all gaped at Jared in utter disbelief.

“You must have lost your mind, huh, Jared? This is Cosmic Chemical we’re talking about! Yet, you’re saying that you can secure the collaboration by tomorrow?” Lydia scoffed with contempt etched on her face even as she gave a bark of laughter.

“Can you please stop bragging, Jared? Do you know how long I’ve spent on this client? Three months! I didn’t manage to finalize the collaboration even after three months, but you’re saying you can secure it tomorrow?”

Maria shot daggers at Jared.

Ugh! He’s simply humiliating me by saying such a thing! I didn’t manage to clinch the collaboration after three months, but he’s claiming that he can do it within a day! Isn’t he just deriding me for my incompetence?

When Zayne saw Jared’s pompousness, he sneered, “You said it yourself, so you’d better pack your bags if you fail to do so, Jared! The sales department doesn’t need someone who loves to talk big!”

“Okay,” Jared agreed readily.

Following that, elation deluged Zayne like a tidal wave, for he knew that the man couldn’t possibly secure the collaboration the following day. If it were that easy, he wouldn’t have accompanied Maria in making trip after trip for three whole months. Besides, the Scott family also had its eye on Cosmic Chemical, so it was definitely no piece of cake.

He then pulled Maria into his office to explain things to her. The other employees in the sales department eyed Jared disdainfully before they all dispersed as well.

After getting the information, Jared didn’t even bother flipping through it but sent it to Tommy instead. Hilda, however, was anxious and pored over the details about Cosmic Chemical the entire day.

“Hilda, you’ve got a class reunion tonight, so you should pack up since it’s about time to get off work now. Don’t scrutinize the information anymore,” Jared finally urged, seeing that Hilda had been studying the information about Cosmic Chemical incessantly with a worried expression on her face.

“Jared, Cosmic Chemical is really difficult to convince. Its general manager is an extremely obstinate person. How are we going to sway him over to collaborate with us tomorrow?”

Hilda was no longer in the mood to attend her class reunion. After all, Jared would be shown the door if they couldn’t clinch the collaboration tomorrow. And if that happened, she didn’t want to continue working here either.

“Do you not trust me? I said it’ll be fine, so it’s a done deal. Don’t worry!” Jared stared right into her eyes.
