Chapter 201: It’s Too Agonizing

“Claire, you… Oh my god! Don’t you also care about appearance? You just told me to work hard and not think about these things. However, you’re even more crazy than me!”

Danielle tugged at her arm.

“I…”

Claire came back to her senses. She was about to explain that she wasn’t a fangirl; it was simply because the person in front of her was Antony, whom she had never expected to see.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she opened her mouth to speak, Antony walked straight up to her.

“Claire, come with me to the office.”

Claire nodded awkwardly and followed him into the office.

“Claire, please forgive me for my self-assertion. I really didn’t expect you to come to the Hiokeeh Group for an interview. I just accidentally saw you being rejected. That’s why I organized this manager’s assistant screening.”

Antony spoke directly.

“What? Antony, are you crazy? This is the Hiokeeh Group.”

Claire never thought he did this for her. To get in. Not to mention that Antony had already been promoted to manager here. The next step, he would be the department manager and would have access to information on the core personnel of the Hiokech Group. If Antony was unable to make further progress because of her, what a huge loss that would be.

“Claire, don’t worry. After all, I’ve been in the Hiokeeh Group for so many years. Nothing like this will happen.”

“Besides, everything I do now is legal and compliant. There are precedents like this in the Hiokeeh Group. The interview requirements and academic qualifications have always been very strict.”

“But when the Hiokeeh Group was first established, its first founder, Mr. Gonzales, said that we should recruit talents regardless of their background at all times.”

Every word Antony said was perfect, and it was impossible to find any fault with it. Claire had indeed heard what Mark, the first founder of the Hiokeeh Group, said about recruiting talent in an unconventional way.

“Well, as long as it doesn’t affect you.”

She really wanted to join the Hiokeeh Group.

In the camera above her head, Frederick was facing the screen. Richard had just gathered everyone to prepare for a 12.4-mile off-road load, and as he came in to report, he saw the content on the screen. He felt nervous. It was over. The 12.4-mile off-road load might soon become 18.6 miles.

Frederick watched helplessly as another man expressed his admiration for Claire. All of this still complied with the regulations of the Hiokech Group, and he couldn’t even dismiss Antony. It was really agonizing!

As Frederick invested in the Hiokeeh Group, people in it said that he could invest and hold shares, but he was not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Hiokeeh Group. Especially in terms of personnel transfers, Frederick could also get the world’s top core talents he needed. At this moment, Frederick must be so angry and furious.

In the video, Antony finally whispered something into Claire’s ear, and she just smiled and left the office. Frederick closed the laptop with a snap.

“Have you seen enough?” He looked up at Richard.

“General Hawthorne, we will now embark on an 18.6-mile off-road load.”

Richard didn’t dare to stay for a moment. After saluting, he turned around and ran out. Frederick narrowed his eyes, and the pen in his hand broke.

For the next whole day, after Frederick finished the things at hand, he went to the underground boxing room and practiced boxing all day. As Richard returned from an 18.6-mile off-road journey with his men, Frederick was still fighting. A large group of people had collapsed from exhaustion. Richard walked up with a smile, handing out towels and water.

Frederick saw that Richard seemed hesitant to speak. “Do you have anything to say?”

“General Hawthorne, someone just reported that there have been some small moves within the Hiokeeh Group recently. I think we need to pay attention to it.”

“We have invested in the Hiokeeh Group for so many years, but we have never paid attention to their internal movements. Even if it is for the high-end talents we need, we should send someone to take a look.”

Richard reminded Frederick very tactfully, not even daring to breathe.

“Richard, you go on another 18.6-mile 30km off-road journey alone.”

Finally, Frederick threw away his towel and left after saying these words.

What a joke. It was just a video, and he would not send people to the Hiokeeh Group. Did Claire deserve it?

As Frederick walked out of the underground boxing room, he realized that it was already dark. He was driving back to the Halfmoon Manor, but for some reason, he ended up in front of the Hiokeeh Group’s office building. Frederick looked up, stepped on the accelerator, and was about to drive away. The scene from last night’s dream flashed before his eyes. He took out his cell phone and called Claire.

“I’m at the Hiokeeh Group’s door. Come out!”
