Chapter 755: That Dimwit
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Cheyenne was surprised, but she still turned Florence down without hesitation. “I’m sorry, Ms. Howard. Thank you for your appreciation and trust in me, but I am now the chairman of the Brilliance Corporation, so I’m afraid I’ll have to turn you down.”
Florence had expected this. Before she came, she had already sent someone to check on Cheyenne’s current situation, so she naturally knew that she was now the chairman of the Brilliance Corporation. But so what?
“Miss Carter, I’ve actually checked on the Brilliance Corporation’s situation. To be honest, the scale and annual turnover of the Brilliance Corporation really isn’t that great.
“In Orange County alone, a company like the Brilliance Corporation can barely be considered a second-rate enterprise. But compared to the large enterprises in DC, it’s total garbage.

“How can such a garbage company be worthy of your capabilities and status, Miss Carter?
“The Flor Group is different. Not to mention that the Flor Group’s headquarters in DC’s assets have already exceeded two billion dollars. Even if I want to set up a branch in Orange County, my start-up capital is a full one hundred million dollars. And the subsequent value created by the brand will be far
stronger than that of the Brilliance Corporation that you currently work at. Don’t you agree?
“As for your compensation, you can rest assured. I’ll give you a six-figure annual salary and twenty percent of the branch’s shares! You will be the biggest shareholder of the branch besides me!”
Florence ruthlessly belittled the Brilliance Corporation and offered an extremely attractive compensation in a bid to poach Cheyenne to her company.
A registration capital of 100 million dollars and 20% of the branch’s shares, which amounted to 20 million dollars, was an extremely large amount!
Florence seemed certain that Cheyenne would definitely agree as she added, ‘T’ve already drawn up the contract. Miss Carter, I just need your signature, and the contract will take effect immediately!”
Then she instructed Andy beside her, “Go to the car and bring me the contract.”
While doing this, she didn’t look at Cheyenne’s expression or think about whether Cheyenne would agree with her proposal or not. She simply made the decision right away.
Of course, Florence had never considered the possibility that Cheyenne would reject her.
“That’s not necessary,” Cheyenne said coldly, interrupting Florence from getting the contract.
She was in a rather bad mood right now.
Florence’s offer was so attractive that it could be described as a godsend opportunity falling into her lap. Anyone would be pleasantly surprised by the staggering amount of 20 million dollars and agree to it immediately.
Unfortunately, the person Florence was facing was Cheyenne.
In particular, Florence had even belittled the Brilliance Corporation in front of Cheyenne and called it a garbage company.
This was something that Cheyenne couldn’t tolerate at all!
“Ms. Howard, did you just say that the Brilliance Corporation is garbage?” Cheyenne asked with pursed lips.
Florence said righteously, “Yes! I’ve already had people check the Brilliance Corporation’s situation. It didn’t develop well in the past few years, and it has been going downhill since. The situation only became slightly better in the last few months. But the annual profit rate is not optimistic at all, and the
yearly net profit is only around four million dollars.
“But the Flor Group branch that I want to set up in Orange County has a registered capital of a full one hundred million dollars. Given our company’s reputation and the Howards’ status, we will achieve amazing growth as long as the company is established. I believe it’s better than you staying in the Brilliance
Corporation, right?
“”Tbelieve that in just a few months, the operation scale of the Flor Group’s Orange County branch will far exceed that of the Brilliance Corporation, which has been established for eight years.
“In comparison, isn’t the Brilliance Corporation a complete garbage company?”
Florence had an extremely proud expression. In her eyes, the Brilliance Corporation was indeed a small company that wasn’t worth mentioning at all and that Cheyenne shouldn’t be wasting her time in this garbage-like company.
‘The Howards had countless companies, any one of which was much better than the Brilliance Corporation that Cheyenne was currently working at.
After Cheyenne heard what Florence said, her expression was even worse.
“T would like to ask you a question, Ms. Howard. I’m just the chairman of a garbage company. Why are you willing to give so much to get me to be the general manager of the Flor Group’s Orange County branch?” Cheyenne asked.
Florence raised her eyebrows. “Of course it’s because I appreciate your ability, Miss Carter. That’s why I want to ask you to help me manage my company.”
She gave an almost flawless and foolproof reason.
“Is that so? But I’m just the head of a small garbage company, so how did you manage to see my abilities?” Cheyenne sneered slightly, stressing the words ‘small garbage company’.
At this moment, Florence finally noticed that Cheyenne was displeased, and she became slightly panicked.
“Well, this is actually very obvious. The Brilliance Corporation’s original business situation was even worse. But after you became the chairman, the company developed well. Isn’t that enough to prove your ability?” Florence smiled faintly and praised Cheyenne.
But Cheyenne’s expression didn’t change. Instead, she suddenly asked a question that surprised Florence. “Ms. Howard, do you know who the founder of the Brilliance Corporation is?”
“Founder?” Florence frowned. She had merely looked at the Brilliance Corporation’s profile twice. Apart from knowing that the company was around eight years old, she didn’t really pay attention to who the founder was. After all, it wasn’t within the scope of her concern.
“T don’t know who the founder of the Brilliance Corporation is. But after so many years, the Brilliance Corporation is still operating on such a small scale. That’s enough to show that the founder’s ability is really mediocre. They’re probably just a dimwit.
“If it were me, I would definitely develop the business and make it become stronger in the fastest time possible so that it can become the leading enterprise in the region and industry. The Brilliance Corporation is obviously far from achieving this. 7
“T doubt that dimwit is even qualified to carry your shoes, Miss Carter.”
Florence insulted the founder of the Brilliance Corporation to the point of worthlessness and even praised Cheyenne in the end. But all Cheyenne responded with was a sneer.
‘Tm really sorry then. I’m the dimwit you’re talking about. Ms.. Howard, you should reserve your invitation for those who are truly talented!”7
