As soon as she entered the company, she could directly feel the tense atmosphere.
She met Anne Taylor in the tea room.
Anne Taylor’s eyes were reddish. It was obvious that she didn’t sleep well last night.
When she saw Gloria Taylor coming, she immediately stepped on her high heels and strode toward her, “You want to destroy the Taylor Company, right? Since you came here, the company had never had a day of peace!”
Gloria Taylor didn’t speak.
Gloria Taylor was born into the Taylor family and she had never tasted a good life.
She was forced to marry the Clarke. She had never had her peace.
“I don’t want to bring down the company. I don’t have that much power either. The company was founded by grandpa and had been a conscious brand in the industry for decades. Do you have any idea why it became like this?”
Gloria Taylor didn’t know much about business management, but she knew about the general situation in the company.
Her grandfather built the company from scratch. He was tactful and kind. Even though his business method was not very good, but he was superior in dealing with people and he was a bit stubborn.
There was an old saying that goes ‘there was no business that was not evil’, her grandfather was lacking in the evil part. After decades of establishment, the company was being labelled as an ‘old brand’, but there was no a significant development in the company.
Grandpa Taylor handed the company to Loren Taylor. In his first years, Loren Taylor launched a few products, but in the past few years, the company gradually expanded and resorted to deceit.
It was not until some time ago that there was a loophole in a certain project and costed the company a big capital chain. A shady deal about the factory followed and the company plunged into its biggest crisis since establishment.
“Bulshit!” Anne Taylor didn’t take Gloria Taylor’s seriously, “If you’re so smart, you can tell this directly to Dad!”
“I will!”
Gloria Taylor didn’t want the company to collapse. Many of their employees had worked here all their lives. They grew a strong bond with the company.
But, she was not a saint. She had personal grudges. If the company collapsed, she might feel happy.
However, the happiness would be temporary. If the company collapsed, many of the workers would lose their job. This was predictable.
She couldn’t pretend like she didn’t know anything.
Kenny Clarke was the big boss of the Sheng Ding Media, Si Chengyu’s thing must also be his brainchild.
Kenny Clarke did this to force Grandpa Taylor going home. If Grandpa Taylor didn’t come to save the company, he would probably end it for once and for all.
He was the big boss of the leading entertainment industry and he was only 26 years old. Loren Taylor was not his opponent.

“Dad, Gloria’s here!”
Anne Taylor took Gloria Taylor to Loren Taylor’s office.
“Gloria, yesterday, you met Si Chengyu. What did you talk about? How did this happen?” Loren Taylor immediately stood up from his chair.
Gloria Taylor shook her head, “Nothing much.”
“How did this happen without you talking about anything?” Anne Taylor looked at her sarcastically, “You must have said something to Si Chengyu and offended him. The trending topic on the internet is obviously fabricated.”
“How did you persuade Si Chengyu? Did he say that he would definitely sign the endorsement? Think about it. Why did he agree to sign the endorsement when he was so popular?”
This matter had something to do with Kenny Clarke. There was no doubt that it was a set up since the beginning.
“Everyone has the heart for beauty. Si Chengyu is so popular and he is a man.” Anne Taylor was saying that Si Chengyu had a crush on her, so he agreed to sign the endorsement.
Gloria Taylor and Loren Taylor didn’t believe it.
Loren Taylor motioned with his hands, “Anne, what did Si Chengyu tell you that time?”
“He, um… he said that I was attractive and that he would give it a try.” Anne Taylor’s face turned red when she said that.
Gloria Taylor hissed. Anne Taylor was after Si Chengyu, wasn’t she?
“Didn’t you say that he promised to sign contract with our company?” Loren Taylor frowned. His voice was heavy.
“I thought so. If only I knew something like this would happen, I would’ve gone discussing about the contract with him by myself.”
Anne Taylor regretted it. The reason why she asked Gloria Taylor to discuss the contract was because she thought Si Chengyu was already fallen for her. She didn’t want to let it show. She wanted to leave him hanging for a while and wait for him to take initiative to find her.
When she looked at Loren Taylor’s face getting uglier, she dared not say anything more.
Anne Taylor thought that it was all about and because of Si Chengyu.
Loren Taylor sat on the sofa holding his forehead and sighed. His voice was worn out, “Someone wants to deal with our company.”
“Indeed. Since Si Chengyu doesn’t directly refuse the Taylor Company’s offer, it has obviously been a game.” Gloria Taylor thought for a moment, “Or, probably, earlier than that.”
Loren Taylor turned his head to look at Gloria Taylor. He looked at her carefully like it was his first time seeing her.
Their eyes met and she continued, “Si Chengyu cannot sign the contract, it means that something is wrong. There is someone behind this.”
He stared at her for a moment and nodded, “You have a point.”
After Kenny Clarke was willing to help the Taylor Company, Loren Taylor felt better about him. He could finally see the man’s ability. He naturally felt that letting Si Chengyu, an actor who relied on acting for a
living, to take the endorsement was not a big deal.
But, he didn’t expect that it would turned out to be a big disaster. The Taylor Company who just recovered now received the second blow.
Anne Taylor saw Loren Taylor favored Gloria Taylor over her. She was not happy about that.
“Dad, why do you think he does that? He is very different to me. I think that he definitely likes me. Leave it to me. I’ll think of a way to make him confess that he likes me in front of the media and then, he will accept the endorsement!”
Her confidence surprised me.
Confidence was a good thing, but hers was too much.
She didn’t know how to properly be a woman.
Maybe, it was because she was the daughter of a well-known family that she had these advantages.
But, what about Anne Taylor? What about the advantages? How many men had she slept with? Or was it her confidence that was too much?
Bang!
Loren Taylor slammed the table hardly. He shouted angrily, “Don’t be ridiculous!”
“I’m not being ridiculous!” Anne Taylor raised her chin confidently. She glanced at Gloria Taylor and went out.
Loren Taylor was so angry that he could pointed at the direction of the door without saying a word.
