A Promising Youth

Chapter 30 Confrontation

In fact, in a sense, I had already confessed my love to Clara, and any fool could see that.

But she gave no indication, and that was the answer.

I didn't blame her, because I came to repay the favor. I had never expected some day that she would

be with me.

So I was going to leave. I didn't want to see her be with another man.

“Marcel, right? How do you want to bet?! You arrange the rules, I don't care.”

Spreading my hands, I looked at him lightly and said.

“What?

Losing the will to fight so soon?

I never want to abuse the man has no will.”

He stared at me, as if two golden lights were erupting from his eyes.

I said with a dismissive smile.

“You look pretty blustery on the outside, but you are confident! The truly great people are humble, but

your overestimate yourself and your eyes are not firm enough, always wandering from side to side,

which proved that you care about what others think of you! To put it bluntly, you're a piece of shit in my

eyes!”

“Asshole! In all my life, no one has ever dared to talk to me like that!”

He clenched his fists and stared at me with red-eyed fury.

“What? Upset about having your heart peeking out? I have studied psychology. You can bluff Clara and

Greyson but you can't bluff me. I see you through. You can get out now, or don't lose your face if you

lose the competition later.”

“Well, I see, you're not as bad as you seem! I never take advantage of others, so let's let Clara set the

bet, the winner stays and the loser gets out!”

In a few words, he was irritated by me.

So I'd judged well that this man has some ability, but by no means great ability. And I've won this bet by

70%.

“What are you guys doing here? Marcel, Matteo, you are both exceptionally good people in my eyes.

You can be friends, there's no need to fight! Don't bet on it, okay?”

Clara was caught in the middle, looking at us begrudgingly.

I sighed and said.

“Sis, don't you get it? He's coming for the formula in my hand. You can't persuade him, and likewise,

you can't persuade me, because no mater I win or lose, you're the one who ultimately benefits. I just

want to help you!”

Marcel grunted coldly and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his large gold watch and said

“What's the point of wasting words? Sign it, let’s get started!”

I grabbed the contract and signed it straight away!

Marcel looked up at Clara and said.

“Clara, come up with a question. You can throw out the company's toughest problem, and we'll each

come up with a set of solutions to help you, and whoever has the better solution wins!”

Clara pursed her lips and looked at us with a difficult face, but Greyson popped up and said.

“Miss Clara, doesn't our company want to enter the clothing field? I think it's a great subject! Let them

both each come up with a marketing strategy plan, and whoever is more feasible will be counted as the

winner!”

Hearing this, many shareholders followed suit, saying that the subject was good, which not only can

determine the winner, but also helps the company solve the future development problems.

But Clara slammed the table and looked coldly at Greyson and said.

“Marcel's major is marketing! It's simply not fair to Matteo to compete on this!”

I didn't expect Clara to say something for me at this point, but I laughed, raised my hand to block Clara

and said.

“Okay, let's compete on this! But Marcel, I've been in the company for a few days now, and I know

more about internal affairs than you do, so you do you it is fair for you?”

Marcel tilted his head proudly, pushed his glasses and said.

“I knew about Clara's company 7 years ago, and I did some understanding before coming here this

time. Let's start straight away!”

Speaking here, he paused for a moment and added.

“It only takes me half an hour to do my company's strategic planning, so I will give you an hour.”

“I only need ten minutes. Can you come up with a set of proposals in ten minutes?”

I asked, looking at him provocatively. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“You…”

Marcel twitched his eyebrows, his eyes looked left and right, then he stared at me again and said.

“Boy, you are confident!

I entered into marketing at 18, studied abroad and worked for 5 more years in a well-known foreign

company, so I'm at the top of my game!

You're the first person who dares to provoke me like that!”

“Ability doesn't come with words, so let's get started!”

I grabbed a paper and pen on the table and conceived a serious idea.

Seeing me make a move, Marcel followed suit.

Greyson pulled out his mobile phone and timed us. He looked at me with a mocking face, thinking that I

was screwed.

With the pen in my hand, my brain was racing, combining the current situation of the company and the

market information we learned from the economic summit, and I wrote down.

The whole conference room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Clara looked at us with

incomparably torn. I didn't know what she was torn about. I left so she could be with the man she loved,

and all the company's affairs would be taken care of, what else was she torn about?

Ten minutes passed in a flash, Marcel and I almost simultaneously put pen to paper and said in unison.

“All done.”

The second shareholder immediately turned off his phone, stood up and said.

“Let the shareholders of the entire company be the judges! After all, they know the company best and

have a say.”

“Okay, so let's start with this strategic plan of mine.”

Marcel stood up and projected his planning, using a laser projector, on the big screen.

To be honest, Marcel's eloquence was really good and his image was very handsome. By standing in

front, he could win over the crowd!

Add to that the fact that his words are interspersed with two sentences of English every now and then,

and it was even more high-level.

I looked at his plan carefully, and to be honest, it was quite good!

He targeted to a high-end clothing brand, because we had ‘General Grey’ fabric. As long as there was

a little effort in the clothing design would make it in no way worse than some big brands.

And he had a wide range of ideas, advertising and marketing, channel widening. And he had a good

talk about how to do competition with rival brands.

After the impassioned explanation, thunderous applause came from the scene, even uneducated Zach

and Bill could not help but applaud.

“The knowledge gained from abroad is extraordinary!”

“I heard that the company he works for specializes in strategic solutions for Fortune 500 companies!”

“I think Matteo is screwed. Although he's smart, in front of this kind of great wisdom, it's really not worth

mentioning!”

I completely ignored their words and walked to the stage where I projected the planning onto the

screen and said.

“Guys, this is the strategic plan I made for the company.

Pfft ......

Ha! Ha!

There was an outpouring of jeers.

“Matteo, you let the company do the underwear?”

The second shareholder burst out laughter.

“Yeah, ladies' underwear.”

I said with immense seriousness.
