If the Willson Group weren’t interested, they wouldn’t have gone to the trouble of sending a representative all the way here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Makes sense. Young Master Cook is very capable. With him handling the negotiations, I think there’s a very good chance it will succeed. After all, he’s someone who’s come back from the capital!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Young Master Cook’s talent, the Willson Group is bound to take interest. The formation of a business alliance would be a blessing for us in Gonzalez City!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entrepreneurs were extremely excited, almost as if they had already received their share of the profits from the alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like everyone had full confidence in Bran Cook and believed he could definitely close the deal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Bran Cook himself thought so too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got into the Maybach assigned to the Gonzalez City delegation by the Willson Group, looking at a computer placed on the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, I’m Bran Cook, and I’m also the initiator of this business alliance,” he said, introducing himself politely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man on the computer simply nodded, continuing to jot down notes with his pen and paper in response to Bran’s self-introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Regarding the concept of the business alliance, I am now…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will give you three minutes. If you haven’t convinced me after three minutes, have someone else come in,” the young man interrupted Bran Cook abruptly, checking his wristwatch without a hint of courtesy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook was visibly startled; he had not expected the other party to be so aggressive and domineering right off the bat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was a returnee from abroad who had made a fortune in the capital before being treated like a star back in Gonzalez City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which of the local entrepreneurs didn’t revere him like a god of wealth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the underground boss of Gonzalez City, Aron Jackson, had personally come to meet him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, this person from the Willson Group was barking orders at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, being under someone else’s roof, Bran Cook had to lower his head. He calmed his emotions and, suppressing his anger, asked, “If I may ask, what is your identity…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assistant General Manager.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man glanced up at Bran Cook and said indifferently, “You have two minutes left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Assistant General Manager?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this title, Bran Cook blinked, and a sense of humiliation rushed over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had thought that the person opposite might be a director or at least a department manager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young man in front of him was just an assistant!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last night, he was still wining and dining with Thatch Rose, and today an assistant dared to be so presumptuous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want to talk to your general manager. Please convey my request,” he said, putting on an imperious air, venting all his frustration at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Willson Group might be powerful, but it certainly didn’t entitle a mere assistant to lord over him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assistant, who had been taking notes, suddenly stopped, looked at Bran Cook with a sneer, and said, “Now, you don’t even have a minute left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he tore a piece of white paper into shreds and threw it into the nearby trash can: “Next.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The time is not up yet! How dare you treat me this way?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook was incensed again. He took out his phone, looking at the assistant general manager on the computer: “I’m calling your general manager now to complain about your abuse of power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a big project, such an ambitious plan, he had barely had the chance to express himself before being shown the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a tremendous humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some previous contact with Thatch Rose, Bran Cook got through to Thatch Rose’s phone right in front of that assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding-a-ling-a-ling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook felt something was amiss. Where was that ringing coming from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked intently and saw the assistant in the video pulling out a mobile phone from a drawer, waved it in front of Bran Cook, and then answered the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sorry to inform you, you’ve already lost my patience. Please take your so-called creativity and get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying those words, the assistant hung up the call and pulled out another mobile phone, instructing someone on the other end, “Change person!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m telling you, don’t be too arrogant! This matter won’t be settled so easily. I’m going back to your company, to complain about your abuse of power! You wait and see…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Bran Cook could finish his sentence, the door was suddenly yanked open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A muscular man wearing sunglasses, like an eagle seizing a chick, yanked him out of the car and shoved him roughly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scram!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscular man swore rudely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the much larger man, Bran’s face twitched violently, his fists clenched tightly, but in the end, he did not make any excessive move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What now, do you want me to give you a ride?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muscular man took an apple out of his pocket, wiped it on his clothes, and started eating it greedily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll see about that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook, with a gloomy expression, turned and walked towards his private club.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the thought of that assistant’s arrogance made him fuming!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t even get to see the senior executives of Willson Group, and yet a mere assistant had dismissed him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger began to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was worse was that Thatch Rose’s phone was in that assistant’s hands, leaving him with nowhere to lodge a complaint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What rotten luck!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He kicked over the trash bin at the entrance, straightened his clothes, and walked into the venue with a smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the entrepreneurs in the venue, looking forward to it, thought Bran Cook had returned so quickly because the deal was done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Congratulations, Young Master Cook, for your instant success!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When Young Master Cook makes a move, there’s nothing in the world that can’t be done!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impressive indeed! I think Young Master Cook is the undisputed leader of our alliance. I suggest that he should take the position of chairman.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Willson Group had shown up, it meant they were interested in the project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these people’s minds, as long as Bran Cook sketched out his blueprint, he would definitely secure the investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve failed,” he managed to squeeze these words through his clenched teeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he felt his face burning with humiliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since returning from abroad, he had never suffered such an insult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Failed? How is that possible?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master Cook, why would Willson Group refuse us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you explain things properly to their board of directors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they heard about Willson Group’s refusal to invest, everyone started to get anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cooked duck can’t just fly away like that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Board of directors?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bran Cook sneered coldly and said in a deep voice, “The person who received me was a general manager’s assistant, and I was chased out before I even had the chance to speak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he said the word “chased,” his teeth grated together with a clicking sound.\u003C\u002Fp>",1229,"2026-06-06T17:04:44.711Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c3b138fbcbe77ffb35014bf6216c3c304a40cd8477d68e6dbed1aa356f1a710","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-391","legend-of-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-389",2546,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flegend-of-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
