A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 778 - 778

"Since it's from this boss, just take it."

Such generosity.

Finally caught Penny Sullivan's attention.

Hearing this.

Mimi swiftly took the money from Arlo Yarbrough's hand.

Bowed and said, "Thank you boss for your reward."

"You guys leave, I'll have a business talk with this boss."

Penny Sullivan said.

Just like that.

Mimi and Arlo Yarbrough went out.

The door of the private room closed.

Dirk Carter and Penny Sullivan looked at each other across the table.

After a pause, Penny Sullivan said, "By the sound of your accent, boss, you're not local?"

"No."

Dirk Carter responded.

"Boss just said you want to do business with me, what kind of business?"

"The business you are currently engaged in."

"What do you mean?"

Penny Sullivan shuddered slightly and asked.

Dirk Carter smiled faintly.

Opened a bottle of beer, placed it in front of Penny Sullivan.

Said, "To remove Louisa Wagner and have you take over Brett Summers Group's 'meat' business, I believe such a deal, Miss Sullivan wouldn't refuse, would she?"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Penny Sullivan shuddered again.

Her expression immediately darkened.

Said, "Boss, just for what you said, you'll never leave Helios County standing upright in your lifetime, do you believe it?"

Dirk Carter chuckled.

Asked, "Is Miss Sullivan thinking that this business can't be done?"

Penny Sullivan looked coldly, slowly sat down and said, "Boss, I don't care who you are or what you want to do, if you leave now, I'll pretend I never heard that sentence."

"I thought Miss Sullivan was quite ambitious, didn't expect it to be just so, if that's the case, pardon my disturbance."

Finished speaking.

Dirk Carter stood up.

Just about to turn around.

Penny Sullivan shuddered.

Said, "Hold on, what did you just say your name was?"

"Dirk Carter!"

Penny Sullivan took a deep breath and asked, "You... you are the newly appointed County Committee Secretary Dirk Carter?"

"Exactly, without a doubt."

Dirk Carter responded.

Penny Sullivan hesitated, somewhat incredulously stared at Dirk Carter, asked, "Why would a County Committee Secretary want to get rid of Louisa Wagner?"

"Because the piece of meat is too fat, I want to take a bite too."

Dirk Carter said.

Penny Sullivan's eyes were still filled with disbelief.

Dirk Carter returned to his seat.

Sat down.

Said, "Of course, I won't do this for free. After Miss Sullivan takes over this business, each month, I'll take a cut of one point, the remaining two points originally belonging to Louisa Wagner will be yours, Miss Sullivan."

Penny Sullivan was Louisa Wagner's subordinate.

She knew the division inside out.

Every month, all the venue's profit has one point rewarded to the people below.

Another three points belong to Louisa Wagner, the main manager.

The remaining six points, after being collected periodically, are handed to the big boss Brett Summers.

How they distribute it, Penny Sullivan doesn't know.

"I'm doing well right now, why should I cooperate with you?"

Penny Sullivan took a deep breath and asked.

Dirk Carter smiled faintly.

Pointed at the black box in front, asked, "How much money is inside?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Of this two hundred thousand, how much can Miss Sullivan get?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Penny Sullivan shook her head, said, "I just get a fixed salary, these funds have nothing to do with me."

Dirk Carter nodded, said, "The venue 'Romantic Night' has a monthly profit of about 400,000. Three points mean 120,000, all this money goes into Louisa Wagner's pocket, and this is just one venue. Helios County has more profitable venues, it's not an exaggeration to say Louisa Wagner earns over a million every month, right?"

Penny Sullivan nodded slightly, said, "There will be more, not less."

"Don't you want that money in your pocket? Are you willing to always be subordinate, doing all the work while others earn the money, are you content with that?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Penny Sullivan said, "Louisa has been kind to me. Right now I'm repaying the favor, it has nothing to do with money."

"Really? You really think Louisa Wagner has been good to you? Then why let the whole world think you like women?"

"Is there a connection between the two matters?"

Penny Sullivan asked.

Dirk Carter laughed, "Others can't see the trick, but I can. You deliberately send out such signals, isn't it to make men not make a move on you?"

"What you're talking about, I don't understand."

Dirk Carter's words just finished.

Penny Sullivan's eyebrows twitched twice.

Apparently, he hit upon her secret.

Yet she still pretended not to understand.

Dirk Carter smiled faintly, said, "You're so beautiful, many men would be moved upon seeing you, appearance can't be changed, but sexual orientation can. If you're not interested in men, then naturally men wouldn't be moved. So Louisa Wagner won't gift you to them, isn't this to find a foothold?"

"You're talking nonsense! I just don't like men, I like women!"

Her years of disguise were seen through by a man who understood nothing of her background.

Penny Sullivan felt a bit panicked.

Only one thought in mind, that she mustn't admit.

Dirk Carter hit the nail.

She deliberately released those signals.

Since becoming Louisa Wagner's subordinate, she met many influential men.

Those men upon seeing her, seemed to lose their souls.

To cater to those men, Louisa Wagner repeatedly placed her on those men's beds.

Penny Sullivan couldn't bear the humiliation.

Then deliberately released rumors of her homosexuality.

Also fabricated a rumor that when aroused she'd have her cat lick her.

Any man thinking such a woman is licked by a cat's tongue, who could feel desire?

The more absurd the rumors spread.

The safer she felt.

Now Dirk Carter sees through the trick.

How could she not feel panic?

"Really?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Penny Sullivan stood up.

Pointed at Dirk Carter said, "Mr. Carter, don't think that just because you're County Committee Secretary I would fear you. What you said, I'll tell Louisa verbatim, you'd better consider how to handle the ensuing trouble."

After saying this.

Penny Sullivan was about to leave.

Dirk Carter's face darkened.

Said, "Miss Sullivan, you prefer punishment over wine, is it?"

"Ha, you think you can threaten me? You have no leverage against me, why should I fear you? Don't use the County Committee Secretary's position to pressure me, that won't work in Helios County!"

Finished speaking.

Penny Sullivan walked to the door.

Pulled hard attempting to leave.

At this moment, she suddenly found the door wouldn't open.

Tried pulling, the result was the same.

It's locked tight.

"What do you mean by this?" Penny Sullivan turned to ask Dirk Carter.
