The Almighty Dragon General

Chapter 303

Xara replied, “I’m responsible for bringing in business on Food Street.” Cyrus hurriedly added, “Here’s the thing, Xara. We also plan to set up a business at Transgenerational Group. However, it’s only open to large corporations at the moment. Since you’re a high-ranking official, could you use your connections to allow my family to establish ourselves there?

Xara was in a difficult position. The company’s rules stated that all forms of corruption and cronyism were forbidden. If found guilty, the consequences would be dire.

However, she could not just turn down her family’s request.

She looked at James. Seeing that James remained silent, she contemplated and nodded. “I can’t decide by myself. I’ll speak to Ms. Brooks once I get back.” “That’s great!” Cyrus exclaimed. “As expected of Xara, she’s now a department manager at Transgenerational Group.” Zacchaeus wore a smug look. He was proud to have a daughter like Xara.

After realizing the position Xara holds, everyone immediately started currying favor with her.

“Xara, since you’re now leading a comfortable life, mind helping me out here? Could you arrange a small position like a supervisor in your department for me?” “Xara, my daughter just graduated college, but she can’t seem to find a decent job. Why don’t you take her along to Cansington? You can arrange a tiny position for her. We’re not asking for much. It’s fine as long as her monthly salary’s around fifty to sixty thousand.”

Xara was in a bind and wanted to decline.

However, her father readily agreed.

“We’re one big family. Of course she’ll help you out with these tiny matters.”

“Dad…” Xara shot him a look of resentment.

He was creating trouble for her.

Though she was a department manager at Transgenerational, in which a department’s scale was equivalent to a subsidiary, the company had an independent human resource department.

All positions in each department and subsidiary had to be approved by the human resources department before they were submitted to Ms. Brooks for final approval.

She could only arrange for a few tiny positions with the authority she held. “Thank you so much, Xara.” “Xara, 1 thank you on behalf of Xael.”

They expressed their gratitude. Meanwhile, Cyrus praised her.

“Xara, it isn’t easy getting into Transgenerational Group. Even a common clerk has to be highly educated and have many years of work experience. You, on the other hand, became a department manager the moment you entered the company. Although twenty thousand dollars a month isn’t much, the experience you’ll gain from it is priceless. All you need to do now is to expand your connections and build the foundations on which the Hills will establish themselves in Cansington.”

Xara was frustrated.

Why were they cozying up to her when there was a true bigwig in plain sight? James sat on the sidelines and listened to the conversation. He remained silent. Thea thought he found it challenging to initiate a conversation since he did not know anyone. Hence, she took a seat beside him and conversed with him so that he would not be bored to death.

After buttering up Xara, the focus shifted to James.

“Gladys, what were you thinking? Thea’s now a chairman of a company. Though it’s not a particularly large corporation, it’s still worth a hundred million. Now that your family’s rich, how could you tolerate such a son-in-law?”

“That’s right. I heard James is an incompetent man. After being decommissioned from the military, he’s been leeching off the Callahans and even refuses to work.”

“What’s the point of having such a son-in-law?” They went on non-stop disparaging James. Cyrus had wanted to bring this up earlier, but he felt the timing was not right.

Now that his elders brought it up, he chimed in, “Gladys, I think James is unworthy of Thea. I know a few guys from wealthy families. I even know the Xenakis. You know, the representative of North Cansington in the Five Provinces Business Alliance. They have assets totaling hundreds of billions. How about this? I’ll invite one of my Xenakis friends over to meet Thea. If they like each other, Thea can divorce James.”

Thea knew James would get singled out at her grandmother’s house.

She defended James. “My husband’s not useless. He’s just hiding his true abilities. He doesn’t care about obtaining power and wealth.”

Upon hearing this, Xara froze. Could it be that Thea knew of James’ identity already?
