Chapter 1034 Chaim's Concern

At that moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was extraordinarily depressing.

Chaim was sitting at the top of the conference table. He was staring at the laptop in front of him. He had a calm face. He didn't pay attention to the others or the look in their eyes.

He ignored them all as if they weren’t present.

But actually, only Chaim himself knew that inside, he was very anxious.

The calmness on his face was just a cover.

He was extremely nervous inside.

"Mr. Houston."

Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a suit stood up and spoke up, breaking the eerie silence in the room.

Everyone else turned to the man, including Chaim.

The moment Chaim heard the man call out to him, he knew that the storm was coming. They couldn't stay silent all the time.

Chaim sighed quietly and squeezed the mouse in his hand, and then he looked up at the man. He still had a calm face. "What’s the matter?"

"Mr. Houston, you said that Mr. Flint would definitely be grateful to our bank because we helped Ms. Raines and that he would help us so that our team would not be dissolved. We trusted you, so we agreed to your offer of a two-hundred-million dollar loan to Ms. Raines at the risk of drying up the bank. But now what? We have been waiting the whole time till now, but we haven't heard a word

from Flint Corporation." The man's face was angry as he accused Chaim. He wanted an explanation from Chaim.

Everyone else nodded at his words. They were all on the man's side.

"Yes, Mr. Houston, you promised us that Mr. Flint would be grateful and help us, but now we don't have a single word from Flint Corporation. How can we trust you?"

"Exactly." Another man interjected, "If Flint Corporation doesn't help us, the two hundred million dollars we loaned out will be the last straw that leads to the dissolution of our team.

Mr. Houston, can you afford the consequences? You insisted on giving the loan."

After the man's speech, the others all looked at Chaim, their eyes stern and angry.

Even though Chaim was a sophisticated businessman, he felt pressured by the others’ questions. He even began to doubt if his decision was wrong.

As their bank was the main branch of Mediana National Bank in Port City, the total deposits of their bank were always more than ten times those of the other branches.

Only then could Chaim keep his position as bank president and not have his team members demoted or assigned to other branches.

But now the rich people in the country prefer to put their money in foreign banks rather than in domestic banks.

Therefore, this year their bank had not yet reached its target.

The New Year was coming soon. If the bank didn't reach the performance target...

As the bank president, Chaim was so stressed that he visited companies every day and tried to persuade the bosses to deposit their money in their bank.

However, the rich people didn't buy him and Chaim was really worried.

Just as Chaim was getting anxious about the bank’s performance target, he suddenly received a call from Skylight Corporation's CEO, Sydney, also known as the girlfriend of Flint Corporation's Chairman, Julien.

When he learned that Sydney wanted a loan and that it was a large sum of money, he immediately realized that Skylight Corporation was in trouble and that it was an opportunity for him.

Therefore, he immediately agreed to meet with Sydney. He wanted to make sure that this was an opportunity for him and that he could carry out his plan.

Chaim had majored in psychology. When he met Sydney, he could definitely find out what he wanted to know.

When he met Sydney in the afternoon, he used his sophistication and saw through Sydney easily. 'She is a proud woman. She's too naive to know how the world works.'

It was easy for him to take advantage of Sydney.

From the moment he met Sydney, he knew his plan would work.

Sydney was proud and cared about other people’s opinions. She didn't want people to think she was dependent on Julien, and she was sensitive, so she was extraordinarily stubborn. She wanted to do everything on her own, but she didn't know she wasn't that powerful. So she ended up running out of funds and now she needed to ask for a loan from the bank.

She could have gone to Julien and anything would have been easily solved, but she didn't. She would rather go to the bank, which gave Chaim the opportunity to take advantage of her.

Literally, with Julien's support available but not using it, Sydney was a fool to Chaim.

That was a good thing for Chaim. If Sydney had gone to Julien for help instead of the bank, Chaim would not have had this opportunity.

Chaim was a man. He knew exactly how Julien would feel after he learned that his girlfriend had asked for help from someone other than him.

While Chaim wasn't sure if Julien and Sydney were in a stable relationship, he knew that men were proud.

As long as they were not broken up, whether they were in a fight or not, when Sydney ignored Julien and went to someone else for help, Julien would be upset.

Therefore, Chaim acted as if he were considerate of the couple. He warmly persuaded Sydney to talk to Julien when she got back.

He wanted Sydney to tell Julien what he had said to Sydney, and then Julien would know that Chaim helped him.

Then Julien would owe him a favor. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Chaim knew Julien. He knew Julien would definitely pay him back the favor and that he would be generous.

Literally, Chaim was gambling when he made the decision.

If he succeeded, he could stay on as the bank president, but if he failed...

No, during the day, Chaim didn't think he'd fail. He was good at seeing through people. He had never been wrong about anyone.

His plans were perfect.

But now, he wasn't so confident. He began to doubt his judgment. ‘Am I going to lose the game? Didn't Sydney talk to Julien or tell him what I said to her after she got back? Does Julien know what I did?

'Or maybe Sydney told Julien, but Julien didn't care about it. Or maybe Julien is angry and will get back at me because I used Sydney, which is actually targeting Julien.

'Julien is a smart man. He definitely understands what I'm up to and what I intend to do.'

In fact, before Chaim carried out the plan, he considered that Julien might be furious after he guessed Chaim's plan, and he also thought that Julien might retaliate against him.

After all, no one liked to be someone else's pawn.

But Chaim had no choice. This was his only chance. No matter what the outcome would be, he needed to give it a try. He hoped Julien to go easy on him.

If Julien got angry, Chaim would accept his revenge. It would be best if Julien wasn't angry and acknowledged Chaim's favor.

But right now Chaim wasn't sure if Julien was pissed off.
