A Man Like None Other - Season 1 Episode 80

The young man spun on his heels and left. Meanwhile, Zayne and the other two interviewers were all stumped, gaping at Jared incredulously. They couldn’t figure out how the man got acquainted with their general manager. “How did you get to know Mr. Jennings?” Zayne demanded with mystification written all over his face. “Is he some high-ranking executive here, perhaps the general manager?

I don’t know him.” Jared shook his head in denial. He wasn’t acquainted with that young man, nor had he ever seen him. On the contrary, that young man had seen him before and even witnessed him being all touchy-feely with Josephine. The young man was named Xavier Jennings, and he graduated from Silverleaf University abroad. After joining Sullivan Group, he advanced through the ranks. He also fancied Josephine and had been pursuing her, but the latter wasn’t interested in him.

After William gifted the company to Josephine, he transferred Xavier over to Sentiment Chemical Limited to be the general manager, putting him in charge of the operation and management of the company since Josephine didn’t want to oversee things. Xavier indeed had some capabilities, for he successfully straightened out the company in short order and even turned it into the most profitable company under Sullivan Group.

The reason for his diligence was none other than to have Josephine fall for him. But when he learned that she was associating with Jared, who had been to prison, he had a drastic change of heart. He then vowed to snatch her back from Jared. Since Jared had come to the company for an interview, he naturally had to seize that opportunity. As long as the man remained there, he had thousands of ways to have him back down while also sowing discord between him and Josephine.

“This is strange…” Zayne frowned, but he didn’t dare go against the general manager when he was merely a department manager. Hence, he said to Jared, “Go and get the onboarding procedures done. I’ll send someone over to give you a tour later.” He didn’t dare pick trouble with him for the time being as he was uncertain about the man’s exact association with Xavier. Jared was likewise baffled. I don’t understand why that man known as Mr. Jennings wanted to employ me, but he seemed to know me.

Could it be that Josephine learned that I was coming to her company for an interview and purposely told him to keep an eye out for me? As he pondered upon that with a frown, he followed the young lady in the office out to complete the onboarding procedures. “Damn! It turned out that you’re an ex-convict. How unlucky of me to have chatted with you for such a long time! What a bummer! Someone like you will never get the job!”

Right after stepping out the door, the bespectacled man earlier tore into Jared. Nonetheless, Jared merely cast him an airy glance. I initially felt that he was pretty decent, but I never thought that he’s also the kind of person who looks down on others! “Please come with me, Mr. Chance. An ID card is required for the onboarding procedures. Do you have it with you?” the young lady who walked out with Jared asked the latter.

“Yes, I do.” Jared handed his ID card to her and flashed her a grateful smile. He knew that she asked that on purpose, and her words were actually meant for that young man. Sure enough, the young man’s eyes went wide when he heard that Jared passed the interview, and disbelief showed on his face.

However, Jared ignored him, merely snorting before leaving with the young lady. While he was handling the onboarding procedures, Maria questioned Zayne furiously in the manager’s office of the sales department, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t you say that you’re going to fail him?

Now that he’s gotten a job here, I’m going to be doomed! My father will definitely order me to give him a ride every day!” “That’s not my fault! He is somehow associated with Mr. Jennings! It was Mr. Jennings who employed him directly, so I can’t do anything about it!” Zayne retorted in chagrin.
