Chapter 1228 A Way Of Thanking You

53%

Impatiently, Shane hung up the phone. He was well aware of the sect’s rules, but he had truly earned

his position in the company through his own merit. No one had assisted him in achieving it.

In this society, capability was everything. Take Frederick, for example. He was highly educated, taller,

and even slightly more good-looking than Shane… Well, maybe slightly less handsome. But what did

that matter? Wasn’t Frederick fired shortly after joining the company?

In contrast, Shane was thriving in the company effortlessly.

When he returned to the office, his colleagues were all engaged in conversation.

“Have you heard? Our company is going to negotiate a partnership with Diamond Titan Military

Technologies!”

“Oh my God! That’s a top international conglomerate! Do we have the capacity for that?”

“I’m not sure; it’s just a rumor. It’s something our boss is supposed to handle!”

“I heard that if this project is successful, there’s a commission of 1 million!”

Shane wasn’t interested in such hot topics. After all, he had been with the company for a while now and

still had no

idea what he was doing. In other words, he was just muddling along. However, he was intrigued by the

dollar commission, but he also knew that such a significant task would not be assigned to a newbie like

him.

“Hey, who put their breakfast on my desk?” Shane sat at his desk and found an extra breakfast on it.

Unlike the

inexpensive breakfast Lola and the others usually brought, this was a luxurious and nutritious meal!

“Shane, that’s from Ms. Pennington. She said it’s her way of saying thank you!” Lola told him with a

wink.

Shane felt somewhat flattered. Isn’t Ms. Pennington being too kind to me? A luxurious and nutritious

meal just for letting her take the taxi?

“Haha! Thanks. I’m really flattered,” Shane said modestly, but he quickly devoured the meal.

However, recalling Santiago’s reminder, he felt that he owed Ms. Pennington a huge favor. “I have to

repay her!” He

sighed, worrying about how to repay the favor, when he noticed that Ms. Pennington had been in a

meeting with Henry all day and hadn’t even had lunch.

When Lauren finally emerged from Henry’s office at 2 p.m., she was famished.

Just then, Shane handed her a sumptuous lunch.

Lauren was stunned. She had already ordered lunch. What was Shane doing?

“Ms. Pennington, this is to thank you for the breakfast. My family has never liked owing favors for over

100 years!” Shane said proudly

Lauren initially wanted to refuse, but on second thought, shù gratefully said. “Shane, thank you so

much! But now I

“Haha! Ms. Pennington, it’s too kind of you to say that!” Shane laughed. “As I just said, my family has

never liked owing favors for over 100 years. I let you have the taxi this morning to repay your previous

favor, and now I’m repaying you for the breakfast you bought me!”

“Huh? But this—”

Before Lauren could say anything, Shane quickly left to avoid owing another favor, lest he had to repay

it later.

He thought that would be the end of it, but an hour later, Lauren suddenly called a department meeting,

which he also attended.

During the meeting, Lauren publicly announced, “Our company has issued a task. We need to

negotiate a major project with Diamond Titan Military Technologies. If we succeed, the person in

charge can receive a commission

of 1 million, along with a job promotion and pay raise.”

Whoa! The entire marketing department was thrilled. 1 million! Many workers might not be able to save

that much. money in their lifetime!

Of course, everyone wanted to try their luck. If they failed, so be it, but what if they succeeded?

Much to everyone’s surprise, the next moment, Lauren directly announced, “I’m planning to assign this

task to

Shane!

“What?!”

The entire room fell into silence, struck by astonishment. It was unanimously believed that a project of

such

significance could only be entrusted to individuals of Henry’s caliber or seasoned negotiators. Who

could have

anticipated that the higher authorities would assign it to a newcomer? This decision simply defied all

logic!

“Me?” Shane, too, was taken aback. Despite being prone to overthinking and indulging in daydreams,

he had never
