Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Elijah Bailey falls into a trap!
Translator: 549690339
Sayon, a cosmetic testing station.
Upon hearing this person’s words, Elijah Bailey instantly wore an enlightened expression, as if he had spotted a savior.
After all, the person in front of him seemed to be in charge. It would definitely be more useful to turn to him than a minor tester.
With this in mind, Elijah Bailey hurriedly stepped forward, trying to butter him up
He had no choice but to keep his head down, given his circumstances. He had to obtain the test report of Jones Group today, otherwise, the press conference tomorrow would be meaningless.
Currently, he was the one who shouldered the Jones Group’s critical mission. Any carelessness might throw the company into an unrecoverable situation.
But just as he got ready to kowtow, the deputy station master’s face suddenly turned cold, and an indifferent expression emerged instantly.
“Sir, I ”
Elijah Bailey was about to speak with a bowed waist and lowered head, but the deputy station master just kicked him onto the ground.
Crash!
Elijah Bailey was surprised and couldn’t react in time. He looked at the deputy station master in disbelief and said, “What are you ?”
The deputy station master gave a aloof smile, interrupted him, and said, “What are we? A company as corrupt as Jones Group, wants to send samples to our testing station? Have you lost your mind?
You evil corporations are an insult to our Sayon. Do you expect to bribe us into faking the reports for you? Disgraceful!”
This
An unspeakable sense of oppression overwhelmed Elijah Bailey and spread throughout his heart.
He gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground, and said with a bitter face, “What you heard outside is just a rumor. There’s absolutely no problem with our company’s products.
We are proactive in sending samples for inspection, hoping to clear our reputation.
I beseech you to help us this time. I, Elijah Bailey, will repay you for your kindness even it means working painstakingly in the future.”
Elijah Bailey pleaded subserviently. He just wanted to see if the testing station could give Jones Group any chance to survive.
However, even though he had knelt down, the deputy station master didn’t give in even a bit. Instead, his amusement intensified.
“Really you want me to give you a chance?” The deputy station master, from his superior stance, looked down at Elijah Bailey and asked playfully.
The moment Elijah Bailey heard this, he instantly pleaded, “I beg you, I beg ”
The deputy station master chuckled and gestured a little, showing a teasing grin, “I can break the rules for you. But, why should I do it for you?”
Obviously, he was no fool. After having baited Elijah into paying more, did Elijah have any option but to accept it?
Hearing these words, Elijah Bailey instantly understood.
This bastard, he is wanting a bribe!
However, the old saying was true, He who is under a roof must bow his head.
Elijah Bailey, suppressing his disgust, pulled out another red envelope from his pocket.
Looking at the thickness of it, it seems to be much more generous than the one he gave to the tester before, and it was actually the largest amount of money he was carrying.
Elijah Bailey sneakingly handed it to the deputy station master and thought there shouldn’t be a problem this time.
The deputy station master accepted the envelope, weighed it in his hand and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
“Good, very obedient, however, it’s a bit difficult to get the report out today. Come back tomorrow, tomorrow morning at ten, and pick it up. Or, I can deliver it to you personally.” The deputy station master acted pretentiously.
Seeing this, Elijah Bailey finally released a sigh of relief and quickly said, “I will depend on your kindness for the report tomorrow. I’ll send you the address of our press conference.
Could you, as a professional, help us clarify the situation there when you have time?”
After saying this, Elijah Bailey anxiously looked at the deputy station master with trepidation.
He knew that his request was a bit too much, but he still wanted to give it a try. After all, if the deputy station master showed up at the press conference tomorrow, it would definitely be much more effective than a mere test report.
Originally, Elijah Bailey just wanted to try his luck. Surprisingly, the deputy station master agreed right away.
The deputy station master patted his chest and said, “Rest assured, tomorrow morning at ten, I will deliver the report to the press conference personally.”
Crash!
Hearing this, Elijah Bailey’s face instantly expressed gratitude. He immediately offered his thanks to the deputy station master.
After that, Elijah Bailey made meticulous arrangements again and again. Only after getting the deputy station master’s promise once more, did he leave.
However, the moment Elijah Bailey turned around to leave, the pleasant smile on the deputy station master’s face disappeared instantly. Instead, it was replaced by a cunning look.
Seeing the accomplished look on the deputy station master’s face, a tester next to him couldn’t help but ask, “Deputy station master, didn’t you ask me to kick him out? Why now ”
The deputy station master glanced at the tester, then said smugly, “This is the art of catch and release. If I don’t do this, how could he believe that the test report I give him is real?
Moreover, in business, there are no free lunches. You are still young and have many things to learn from these ins and outs. So, learn well.”
Holding the bribe money from Elijah Bailey, the deputy station master showed off.
By doing this, he not only reassured Elijah Bailey, preventing him from seeking other testing channels, but also delivered the fake report that Will Jones wanted him to create to Jones Group.
As long as he delivered the report on time tomorrow, no matter what the Jones Group does, it wouldn’t be able to clear its name!
After listening to these words, the tester instantly understood and gave a thumbs up to him, “That’s really smart! Your strategy of killing two birds with one stone is really brilliant!”
“Learn it well.” The deputy station master said confidently. He then turned around and threw all of the samples Jones Group sent into the trash bin nearby.
On the other side, after successfully sending the samples for inspection, Elijah Bailey immediately informed Sherry Jones, and then went back to help prepare for the press conference tomorrow.
However, on the way back, he received a call from White Mitchell. After the call, Elijah Bailey turned around and went back to the factory.
While Jones Group was busy sending samples for testing and preparing for the press conference, their every move was being watched closely by Will Jones.
“The phone call just came from the testing station. That old man, Elijah Bailey, indeed sent his samples there,” Blake Thomas reported with a look of triumph on his face.
Antonio Woods also reported his findings, “The reporters also agreed to their request, but definitely, none will show up tomorrow.”
Upon hearing this, Mori Jones showed a completely controlled stance, then slowly turned to Ryan and said, “Ryan, have you prepared everything I asked you?
Prepare some coffins for tomorrow and bring them to the press conference at the Jones Group. Sherry Jones wants a press conference? We’ll give her a ‘gift’.”
