Chapter 1035 The Plan Is a Success
Such an unpredictable situation was indeed distressing.
Brian removed the glasses from his nose and kneaded his sore eyes to smother the anxiety in him. Next, he responded to their questions. “Okay, I understand that you’re worried, but it’s useless to say these right now. Silence.”
He raised his hands to display a palm-down. After long years of being the bank governor, he carried immense prestige; the crowd dared not act recklessly upon hearing his words and hence the obedient silence. Even the midge man, who first voiced out the doubts, reseated himself.
Watching their reactions, Brian heaved a silent sigh of relief before continuing, “Ladies and gentlemen, do not worry. Since I’ve approved the thirty million loan to Miss Reed, President Fuller will definitely help us. I’m not lying. However, it is still early for that. Perhaps, he doesn’t know that the loan has been approved yet.”
That was the only explanation he could give in order to appease the throng, yet some of them were unsatisfied.
“Mr. Smith, you’ve said that we will be able to hear good news from President Fuller by tonight. That’s why we’ve been waiting in the conference room. Otherwise, we must have gone mad to spend the white night here.”
“Yeah! Mr. Smith, are you really sure that President Fuller will help us? What if he doesn’t—”
“Enough!” Brian slammed the table to interrupt the person as his patience wore thin. “Since I’ve proposed it and I am the one approving the loan, I will bear the responsibility if President Fuller doesn’t help. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
Every one of them hung their head low without a word and the ire in him was slightly doused. Propping his hands on the edge of the table, he sat down again.
Even so, instead of feeling relief upon repressing his subordinates, he was on tenterhooks. Every step of his was taken as planned and not even once had they fallen through.
Now that Toby was his opponent, he was not that confident in winning the game. At this moment, he was rue to make the decision of setting Toby up just to retain his position.
If Toby decides to settle this score with me, I’ll be done for this lifetime. A bitter smile appeared across his lips.
He recalled what happened this afternoon. As much as he was happy to relay the news to everyone at that time, he felt silly. How could he blurt something that was not confirmed yet?
Right when Brian dwelled on his foolishness, the door was pushed open with a loud thud. A young man in a suit dashed into the conference room with a phone in his hand.
Due to the fast pace, he kept huffing and puffing when he arrived beside Brian. He tried to catch his breath while speaking, “Greetings… Mister.… Mr. Smith…”
After a while, he failed to explain the reason for his arrival and a displeasure frown appeared on Brian’s forehead. “Anything can wait. Let’s wait until you catch your breath.”
Brian handed a glass of water to the youngster, who was so thirsty that he gulped it down in one-go without thanking Brian. After polishing it off, he breathed a long sigh and his body relaxed at last. Although his breathing was still heavy, he could at least speak.
“Mr. Smith, there’s good news,” stated the excited man loudly while he looked at Brian.
“Good news?” Brian was stunned momentarily. When something flashed across his mind, his eyes widened and his countenance brightened up in excitement. “Are you saying—”
The young man nodded vigorously. “Yes. The Fuller Group contacted us to say that President Fuller is willing to transfer one billion euro from Citybank to our bank. Mr. Smith, we’re saved! We don’t have to dismiss our core members!”
His face turned crimson due to excitement as he spoke. Even the others in the room stood up merrily in ones and twos.
“Is it true?” they asked hurriedly while gazing at him.
He nodded repeatedly. “It is. The money is in our bank now.”
“Mr. Smith, hurry and check it!” One of them urged, for the bank governor was the only person with the right to check the transfer for such a massive sum of money.
It was not until then did Brian, who was so giddy with joy, pull back his senses and nodded. “Alright, alright. No rushing. I’ll check it right now.”
He tapped his keyboard to check Toby’s account. The overly-vehement emotions rendered his tapping fingers tremble, so he made a few wrong entries for the master password.
The surrounding onlookers were like cats on hot bricks. If he was not the governor, they would have pulled him away and taken his seat to check on their own.
At long last, he managed to key in the right passwords to check on Toby’s personal account in which the sight of the newly transferred amount made everyone draw a sharp breath.
That was one billion euro! Even after the conversion, it was a staggering amount of money!
It was their first time seeing such a huge sum of money in someone’s personal account. Furthermore, it was not a fixed deposit, but a fluid capital which one could withdraw any time he fancied.
This was the life of a rich person. Although some had a lot of money in their bank account, those were still only fixed deposits. They were not real money as those who possessed them were nothing but a fake rich. On the contrary, someone like Toby was actually rich.
Most importantly, that amount was just the edge of the iceberg to Toby. No one could imagine how much he had in other international banks.
The serial number could easily elicit jealousy in others. Why is there such a vast difference when we’re all human?!
Everyone exchanged glances and saw the same helplessness and envy in their eyes. Still, putting their feelings aside, they were on cloud nine as the core members could remain in the headquarters.
“Mr. Smith, you were right. President Fuller is helping us!”
“Yeah, Mr. Smith. Isn’t it great?”
“I know, I know.” Brian nodded and a wave of relief washed over him whereas the burden was lifted in him.
It is great and it is a relief. Didn’t I take the huge risk by using Miss Reed to set President Fuller up just for this moment?
The reality proved him right; he took the chance on it and it was a win! Moreover, the fact that Toby was willing to repay his deeds indicated that he was safe. Thus, he need not have to put his guard up and watch out for Toby’s revenge.
Brian kneaded his brows and finally let out a smile as he was all loosened up. Next, he grabbed his gadget and contacted the Fuller Group to convey his gratitude.
He wished he could call Toby personally, but he did not have his contact number. Leaving with no choice, he could only give a call to the company.
In Fuller Group, Tom received the phone call from Brian and was not surprised one bit. As long as the other party was a thankful person, he would always express his gratitude through a call.
“I understand. It is nothing, but President Fuller has mentioned that this is the first and will be the last time. If something similar happens again, he won’t let you get away with it,” recounted Tom expressionlessly to the phone.
Although he was not sure what Brian had done, he warned in a stern voice as Toby had told him to do so.
