“Hey, don’t be like that,’ Colt Mullen quickly stood up from the couch. “Boss, boss, I really messed up. I swear, from now on, I’ll only follow your orders. Even if President Kings throws a billion at me, I won’t listen to him.” He still wanted to become a shareholder of the private detective agency.
Just recently, Veronica Murphy had mentioned that the year-end bonus would grant him and Hanson Zinkley each a one percent share, with potential for growth in the future and the possibility of receiving company dividends. Of course, Colt Mullen wanted to work with Veronica Murphy for a long time.
“Enough with the nonsense, tell me, what’s the situation with Matt’s company?” Veronica Murphy got straight to the point.
Colt Mullen sighed and proceeded to explain the entire situation to Veronica Murphy in detail. “President Kings’ company has been conducting research on artificial intelligence all along. Half a month ago, they released their first batch of Al devices for sale, and due to the initial promotion, the sales were good.
However, starting two days ago, people began complaining that the company’s Al devices emit ultrasonic or some kind of sound frequency that damages the human nervous system, causing mental confusion and disorientation.” “At first, there were only a few complaints, but more and more people started complaining, and some even started protesting outside the company’s gates.
President Kings has been trying to control public opinion, but I estimate that if the situation isn’t handled well, he won’t be able to control it for much longer.” Veronica Murphy found Colt Mullen’s words hard to believe. After a few moments of silence, she said, “Secretly investigate whether these people have any connections. Have Hanson Zinkley put aside his current tasks, and the two of you investigate together.” “Yes, boss,” Colt Mullen replied.
Suddenly, Veronica Murphy thought of something and asked, “By the way, how are those highly paid hires you mentioned last time?” “Hahaha, every single one of them is talented. Boss, don’t worry, there’s
no problem at all,” Colt Mullen’s tone carried a hint of pride. As the detective agency’s business expanded, the company indeed needed to recruit new people.
Veronica Murphy naturally trusted Colt Mullen and Hanson Zinkley. She nodded slightly, “You two have worked hard. I’ll give you a generous present at the end of the year.” “Great, thank you, boss.” Colt Mullen was overjoyed. Veronica Murphy expressed her agreement and ended the call. Sitting in the car, she looked at the Metric Technology building, feeling a mix of melancholy.
Once upon a time, Matthew Kings owned the largest building in Bloomstead, the Cal Building. But now, the Spinfluence Group has fallen into the hands of Conrad Kings, who has countless supporters, allowing his business to grow larger and creating a significant distance between him and Matthew Kings..
Veronica Murphy knew that she had a direct connection to all of this. As the New Year approached, the streets were bustling with cars, and workers were already hanging lanterns on tree branches, creating a busy atmosphere that signaled the upcoming holiday season.
In contrast, the scene outside Metric Technology formed a stark contrast.
Just as she had mentioned, Matthew Kings hadn’t called her since he left Lothen yesterday, which left her slightly displeased. But she never expected that Matthew Kings’ company would encounter so many troublesome issues. But what could she do to help Matthew Kings?
Money, with her current savings, was insignificant.
Influence?
She was all alone, without any powerful allies. How could she possibly assist him? A few minutes ago, Veronica Murphy even considered storming into Metric Technology’s president’s office to confront Matthew Kings.
But now, she suddenly lost her confidence and didn’t even know what to do.
Matthew Kings had Conrad Kings supporting him.
It was rumored that Conrad Kings had secretly contacted Prince Zac’s older brother multiple times. The outside world knew that Anthony’s brother, Joey Nibel Francis, doted on Anthony excessively.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
