Georgia’s face turned pale for a moment.
She had intended to mock Charlotte and reveal her vulnerability.
To her surprise, Charlotte looked even more stunning than before, with no visible scars.
It made her feel like a slap in the face.
“Hmph! Feeling proud of yourself?” Georgia snorted and said, “I came here today just to tell you that Grandpa wants you to come back to the Pittman family after work.”
“It’s up to you.” With that, Georgia swiveled her waist and left.
Charlotte was puzzled. Why did Russell want to see her? What did he have to instruct her?
But since he had given the directive, she couldn’t refuse.
At the Pittman mansion.
Around a small conference table.
A group of key members of the Pittman family gathered, with Russell sitting at the head, looking stern.
The others also had a serious demeanor.
Charlotte hurried in.
“Sorry for being late, had to work overtime a bit longer than expected, making you all wait.” She briefly apologized and took a seat.
Nikolas sneered sarcastically, “Charlotte, you’ve really outdone yourself. Just got promoted to director and already acting like this?”
“Making so many elders wait for you here!”
“Do you think once you secure this position, we all have to kneel before you?”
Charlotte retorted coldly, “I’m not as idle as you, hanging around the company day in and day out, getting paid without even working? You’re the one to envy.”
“You…”
Hearing Charlotte’s sarcasm, Nikolas’ face turned red and white, and he stood up directly!
“Enough!”
Russell waved his hand and sternly said, “Charlotte, hold your tongue!”
“Can’t your brother complain about you?”
“You were indeed late, is it so hard to apologize?”
Charlotte calmly responded, “He indeed didn’t show up for work, spending money frivolously, I didn’t say anything wrong, why should I apologize?”
Although she had grown accustomed to Russell’s favoritism, she wouldn’t let herself be mistreated indefinitely.
Russell slammed the table, “Enough! Be quiet! You keep speaking out of turn, do you even respect me as your grandpa?”
“Listen to me carefully now!”
He fixed his gaze on Charlotte and said coldly, “Currently, we have a batch of goods that we can’t sell at the moment.”
“We urgently need cash flow, so these goods must be sold immediately.”
“I’ve found out that Zeustimes Group happens to be in need of this batch of goods.”
“I’ve already made contact through my connections with Mr. Jonathan Delaney, the manager of Zeustimes Group’s marketing department. Charlotte, go and liaise with him.”
“This deal is crucial for the Pittman family!”
“Only success is allowed!”
“No room for failure!”
“As I said before, if you fail, you gotta step down!”
“Understood?”
Charlotte nodded slightly and pondered, “Got it! But… I have a request! If I succeed, I want a one percent commission!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, many of the Pittman family members pounded the table in anger!
“Where do you get the nerve to make such a request?”
“Charlotte, you really don’t know your place!”
They pointed and scolded Charlotte angrily, “You won’t get a penny!”
Russell, with a darkening expression, coldly stated, “Charlotte, your request is excessive.”
In a calm tone, Charlotte explained, “My request isn’t excessive.”
“Firstly, how much bonus do Uncle and Nikolas each take from our company every month? Tens of thousands, right?”
“But what work do they do? Just hang around the company without even showing up for work.”
“And me, working hard day in and day out, only receiving a fixed salary of twenty thousand a month. If I fail, I face the risk of being fired! Why should I accept that!?”
“Is that fair?”
Others reproached her with indignation, “This is what you should do!”
Charlotte glanced at them coldly and continued, “Then, why don’t you do it? You are also members of the Pittman family.”
Everyone fell silent.
They weren’t fools. Who would be willing to work hard for no benefit!
After a brief silence, Russell gritted his teeth and said, “Fine, if you secure this deal, I’ll give you a one percent commission!”
“If you fail, you can resign on your own!”
“I’ll do my best.” Charlotte nodded, “Please provide me with the contact details.”
After Charlotte left.
“Grandpa, why did you agree to her request? You’re being too lenient on her, and now she dares to act in such a way towards us!”
“Exactly, it’s too much! Too arrogant!”
“Dad, why don’t you deal with her… look at how arrogant she is now!”
Russell sneered and said, “What do you all understand? Only she can negotiate this deal, Mr. Delaney favors her.”
“Besides, the second branch mainly relies on her now. Even if I don’t offer her a commission, will she dare to resign? Trying to steal from me? She’s still too inexperienced!”
“If she truly provokes me, I won’t even give her a salary, I’ll make her kneel and beg me!”
Upon hearing this, the others couldn’t help but smile.
Indeed, experience does count, and Russell had completely outsmarted Charlotte!
