“Okay, okay, okay.” Kevin sighed and forcefully pulled Katherine towards him, making her look directly at him. “I know I messed up earlier and didn’t consider your feelings. My bad, babe. Don’t be mad at me anymore.”
Katherine softened at Kevin’s expression and rolled her eyes. “Fine, but don’t do it again or I’ll never talk to you again.”
Kevin grinned and hugged Katherine tightly. “Deal! Since you left Pansy Group now and have nothing to do all day, why not come play with me at my company for a few days?”
Katherine frowned at the suggestion. “Working is tiring enough; I don’t want to spend more time in an office.”
“Well then,” Kevin pouted playfully, “my company will miss out on having such a great employee like you then! Miss Maltz should compensate me for that loss.”
Katherine laughed as she covered her mouth before thinking about it for a moment. “Alright then, I’ll have my dad help you out instead as compensation.”
Kevin had been waiting for this response from Katherine and quickly agreed with excitement in his voice. “But Patrick did something really terrible this time around; he needs to learn his lesson!”
At the mention of Patrick’s name, Katherine lowered her gaze slightly with determination in her eyes; there was no way she would let him get away after embarrassing her publicly.
“That guy deserves to be taught a lesson. Just wait, my father won’t let me be bullied like this for nothing.”
Seeing Katherine’s determined face, Kevin grinned, slightly amused. It seemed like he had achieved his goal.
The next day, Patrick arrived at the company.
As soon as he entered the company, he noticed that the surrounding employees were all in a panic, and when they saw Patrick, they hurriedly greeted him.
This puzzled Patrick. When he returned to his office, he found that the stock price of Pansy Group was rapidly plummeting on the computer screen.
Patrick’s pupils contracted, and he quickly performed a series of actions on his desktop to salvage some of the stock price.
However, shortly after, the stock price began to plummet again.
Patrick frowned and opened the company’s website, only to discover that two other companies, Maltz Group and Duncan Group, were fiercely attacking Pansy Group.
He called his assistant and asked what was going on.
The assistant’s forehead beaded with a cold sweat as he handed over some documents to Patrick. “Since last night, Maltz Group and Duncan Group have been launching intense attacks on our company. At that time, the programmers had already left, and for a moment, our company’s firewall was almost breached by them.”
Maltz Group and Duncan Group.
Upon hearing this, Patrick’s face darkened. He immediately called for a company-wide meeting, and employees from various departments gathered for the meeting.
During this period, the company had been dealing with a lot of issues, and even the employees were becoming weary.
“Tonight, all of the department heads go back and stop your subordinates. Prepare an emergency plan as soon as possible. It has to be done by the end of this week.”
Patrick gave the command, and the department heads could only nod repeatedly.
Coming up with a plan to restore the company’s finances within a week was quite challenging for them.
After the meeting, Patrick returned to his office and found that the attacks from the opposing companies were becoming more intense. Maltz Group and Duncan Group had joined forces to wage a business war against Pansy Group.
With some effort on the computer, Patrick managed to salvage the situation for the company. However, this was not a sustainable solution. Both Maltz Group and Duncan Group were well-known companies in the business world. If they continued to unite their attacks, Pansy Group would eventually be overwhelmed.
The situation was already proving to be challenging, and Patrick couldn’t help but worry about the future.
Soon, news of the joint attack from Maltz Group and Duncan Group against Pansy Group spread throughout the business community, even reaching Star Entertainment.
Now, the CEOs who had originally tried to curry favor with Pansy Group were avoiding it altogether. Even if their own companies were larger in scale, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the combined attack from Maltz Group and Duncan Group.
Jane watched as the stock price of Pansy Group rapidly declined online, which naturally made her worry about Patrick’s situation.
She called her assistant and inquired about the situation at Pansy Group.
The assistant had just received the news and knew that Jane would ask about it, so they went to gather some information.
“Yesterday, Pansy Group fired Katherine, and it seems that the Maltz family couldn’t bear it, so they joined forces with Duncan Group to attack Pansy Group. The situation at Pansy Group doesn’t seem to be good now.”
This statement left Jane deep in thought.
She couldn’t believe that the Maltz family would do such a thing. She had heard about what Katherine had done, and the Maltz family not only failed to discipline their own daughter but also blamed Patrick.
Thinking about this, Jane couldn’t help but feel angry. She immediately called the head of Finance Department and transferred all the company’s funds to Pansy Group.
Not only that, Jane also sent her artists to assist Pansy Group. Both companies were now facing the attacks from Maltz Group and Duncan Group together.
With Jane’s help, things became much easier for Patrick, and he became even more dedicated to his work.
Throughout the day, both Pansy Group and Star Entertainment worked tirelessly to handle the situation. It wasn’t until late at night that they managed to turn the tide.
Relieved to see Pansy Group’s stock price returning to normal, Jane let out a sigh of relief.
However, this time Maltz Group was truly despicable. They had clearly made a mistake, yet they took the initiative to attack, completely disregarding business ethics.
At that moment, Jane received a call from the Lawson family.
The Lawson family had recently been collaborating with the Maltz family, but the heir of the Lawson family valued ethics and was not like those profit-driven businessmen who only cared about their own companies’ interests.
Just as the Lawson family was about to start their collaboration with the Maltz family, they suddenly discovered the news of Maltz Group launching a full-scale attack on Pansy Group. This made them contemplate.
The heir of the Lawson family disliked competing for resources through business attacks. For a moment, their impression of Maltz Group diminished.
Jane, taking advantage of this, approached the Lawson family and told them about the misdeeds of Maltz Group.
As expected, the Lawson family was furious and deeply saddened by the actions of the Maltz family. The compensation offered by Maltz Group was already lower than the market price, and it was only because of their long-standing relationship that the Lawson family had considered accepting the offer.
However, Jane, at this point, offered to purchase the resources from the Lawson family at a price higher than the market price. She claimed that it was the true value and expressed admiration for the abilities of the Lawson family, successfully making them happy.
In the end, the Lawson family decisively severed ties with Maltz Group and shook hands with Jane in conversation.
This not only turned the crisis around but also helped Jane acquire the resources from Maltz Group. In this round, both Pansy Group and Star Entertainment emerged victorious.
On the other hand, when Maltz Group tried to meet with the Lawson family to discuss collaboration, they were informed by the receptionist that Mr. Lawson was not in the office. Maltz Group ended up waiting inside the company for the entire morning.
