The Girlboss Begs for Remarriage by Chu
Chapter 1222

"Ah, ah, ah. It's alright."

Frank raised a hand to stop Helen, smiling calmly despite the looks from the Lanecorp employees around them. "It seems like Mr. Hinds is upset, but he is right to prioritize the company's interest. However, while I have been slacking off, that doesn't mean I've done nothing."

Wagging a finger, Frank chuckled as he finished, "After all, I did just bring in a major business deal for Lanecorp."

"A major business deal? You?" Marco snorted, clearly skeptical. "You're the head of Lanecorp's health and security department, but you're nothing more than a glorified security guard. And you're saying you've been representing the company? Hell, I'll go down on my knees and apologize if you can even earn a hundred grand for the company!"

"You'd better not regret it now." Frank chuckled as he picked up the morning paper from a nearby shelf and passed it to Marco, pointing at the announcement of Zamri's highway project, "Check this out. There's a land lot where this highway would pass through, which I've bought. The value would inflate over ten times the cost I bought it with, and I will be giving the said land lot to Lanecorp. Is that enough?"

As Frank smiled and stared at Marco, the man finished reading the article, pondered, and looked at Frank differently.

Even his tone changed drastically, as he was now quite humble. "How much did you pay for that land, Mr. Lawrence?" "Heh. Just 500 million dollars," Frank said, holding up his fingers.

"Five hundred million? It's that cheap?!"

Marco did a double take, his eyes widening as he wheezed. "500 million dollars, times ten... That's five billion!"

"Tut, tut." Frank clicked his tongue audibly. "But someone had to call me a piece of shit... so I'm in a bad mood now. Should I really give Lanecorp that land?"

"I'm so sorry!"

Marco was on his knees right then, sweating all over his face as he cried, "I-I was ignorant and self-important! Please sell that land to Lanecorp, Mr. Lawrence! Please!"

After all, if the higher-ups knew that Marco was the one who upset Frank and allowed such a lucrative deal to slip through their fingers, he would be fired!

And as nothing was more horrific than losing one's job while middle-aged, Marco truly came around right then.

Sinecure? More like a bigwig no one should ever mess with!

He might be the head of Lanecorp's health and security department, but he wielded true authority and ability!

That changed everything!

"That's enough, Frank."

Helen intervened with perfect timing, gesturing for Marco to get on his feet while leveling an exasperated look at Frank. "You can stop messing with Mr. Hinds now-he's famous in the company for being impartial, and he must be criticizing you because he saw you goofing off too much."

"No, no, no... Ms. Lane, I definitely insulted Mr. Lawrence here, not knowing that he's a man of excellence."

Marco flashed an awkward smile as he kept apologizing to Frank.
