Chapter 1593: Chapter 1592: Peter Brown Must Have Strong Connections_1

Just as everyone was discussing whether Peter Brown qualified as a talent and if he could enjoy preferential treatment, and some from the head office were targeting Henry Ford, astonishing news came along that shocked everyone.

"What?" It was Ivy Cooper who received the phone call, her face which had been calm and undisturbed now showing an expression of shock.

After a moment, Ivy Cooper looked at Peter Brown with a complicated expression and said, "Mr. Lee has been suspended, they say it’s serious!"

"What?" Reid Nelson also looked at Ivy Cooper in shock.

At this point, Peter also felt rather surprised, thinking to himself that this had happened quite fast!

"Was it you?" Ivy Cooper instinctively asked Peter, then shook her head, feeling that her question might have been a bit inappropriate.

"I don’t know!"

Peter pretended to be ignorant.

While their office was still reeling from this news, Henry Ford had just hung up the phone.

Sitting there, Henry Ford started to space out. He had been under considerable pressure lately. His attempt to test Peter had yielded no evidence of Peter doing anything, and now he felt certain that this probe would bring no results. But now, the outcome had indeed surfaced, not only that, but it also left him utterly astounded.

Who from the head office was targeting him? Henry Ford was well aware of it; he had no power to fight back against Uriel Smith. But now, the very person always targeting him had run into trouble—a direct intervention from the provincial level.

Now, thinking of this development, Henry Ford naturally connected it to Peter Brown.

As he considered this, a smile began to form at the corners of Henry Ford’s mouth.

A turning point!

This was truly a ray of hope in a desperate situation for Henry Ford; he felt the need to sort through the events thoroughly.

Everyone above and below was aware of Uriel Smith’s actions against him. But just as Uriel was at his most arrogant, he suddenly ran into trouble. What would everyone think, what would the leaders at the head office think? There were only two possibilities: one was that Uriel indeed had issues, and the other was that someone had created issues for him when there were none.

Considering Uriel’s connections, who would move against him at this time unless Uriel had seriously offended someone?

Then, the key point everyone would guess was who Uriel had offended.

Who had he offended? It’s me, Henry Ford!

Henry Ford almost laughed out loud.

If everyone started thinking this, would they continue to target him?

Henry Ford almost leapt for joy.

A turning point!

Definitely his turning point!

Thinking further about the reason for this turning point, Henry Ford knew he didn’t have such extensive influence. Therefore, there was only one person left, which was Peter Brown.

This kid hid his strength well. When it came to his interests, he had no choice but to take action, and his move not only helped himself but also helped me, Henry Ford!

Henry Ford knew that now he and Peter were bound together; only he could offer Peter the housing benefit, and no one else would do that.

Brilliant!

Henry Ford nearly admired himself for that inspired stroke of genius. Had it not been for his brilliant move, which showed Peter the hope of a housing benefit, how could Peter possibly have utilized his connections to pull off this move!

Who knows who made the move!

By now, Henry Ford was 100% certain that Peter Brown had a very powerful backer.

In the future, he’d have to build a good relationship with Peter Brown as much as possible!

Just as Henry Ford was analyzing the situation, Vincent Clinton, who had been observing the development of events from his office, took a deep breath.

Offering Peter Brown the rental was his way of extending an olive branch, and later, when Henry Ford offered Peter Brown the housing benefit, Vincent Clinton also sided with Henry Ford. What he didn’t expect was for the situation to become terrifyingly serious, when Uriel Smith leapt out with an intention to oust Henry Ford, which scared Vincent Clinton as well. As he worried about the development of the events, this move from left field came out of nowhere, and Uriel Smith was suddenly in trouble.

At that thought, Vincent Clinton remembered Christian Greenhill’s situation.

Was it also Peter Brown’s doing?

Upon careful consideration, Vincent Clinton was almost certain it was the handiwork of the people behind Peter Brown.

Such an awesome move, striking right at the vital spot, and it shocked quite a few people.

What kind of strong backing did Peter this boy actually have?

This must be a monumental figure of immense power!

At this point, Vincent Clinton began to hold Peter Brown in awe, thinking that he should not offend him if possible, and even better, build a good relationship with him, lest he be unwittingly dug into a grave by Peter.

Leaving those two guessing, weren’t the leaders at all levels also speculating about this matter?

In the provincial capital’s office, the newly appointed Chairman Tobia Armstrong was also gently tapping on the desk.

What exactly was the situation?

Uriel Smith’s recent actions were obviously observed by Tobia Armstrong, who understood that Uriel Smith took action against Mr. Taylor’s people only after Mr. Taylor had left. Tobia Armstrong didn’t particularly care about this since it was Mr. Taylor’s people being ousted, it was not a big deal to him, which is why he watched the fight from the sidelines.

However, before the dust had even settled, the provincial authorities had come down hard without explanation, suspending Uriel Smith and then taking him away for questioning. This could not have been Mr. Taylor pulling the strings, and Henry Ford did not have the power to do so.

Tobia Armstrong then thought of Peter Brown, a figure who had emerged when Christian Greenhill was ousted.

Could that young man truly have some undisclosed connection?

After thinking for a while, Tobia Armstrong still couldn’t figure it out, but then, he thought of the issue with Peter Brown’s housing benefit, which was being talked about everywhere, with all sorts of theories.

It was time to settle this matter, at least to give an explanation to everyone above and below.

With this in mind, Tobia Armstrong directly dialed Henry Ford’s number and said, "Henry Ford, what’s the situation with that Peter Brown’s housing benefit in your area?"

When Henry Ford received the call from Tobia Armstrong, his spirits were immediately lifted, and he responded seriously, "We offered him the benefit because he is a specialist talent we need, and there’s no issue with that."

"What’s so special about his talent?"

"Leader, I’ve verified it, he knows three foreign languages."

"You’re saying what? He knows three foreign languages?" Tobia Armstrong was also taken aback.

"Yes, the county knows about this, the County Commerce Office wanted Peter to join them, and even the city leaders spoke up, saying they need such talent too. Mr. Gardiner, the Deputy Mayor, personally spoke with me about taking him to work at the City Investment Bureau, so in order to retain this talent, I proposed the housing benefit to keep him in the company."

Tobia Armstrong felt bewildered, wondering what exactly was going on.
