Chapter 1650: Chapter 1648 Status

Having resolved the company’s issues, Peter now had some foothold in this branch office. Every day, people tried to get close to him, and of course, Peter maintained a friendly demeanor toward those who approached him.

By now, Peter had made his stance quite clear; as long as it didn’t involve his interests, he generally wouldn’t meddle in others’ affairs. After a period of testing the waters, both Henry Carter and Matthew Clarkson realized that by engaging in some exchange with Peter, they could gain his support. Consequently, they stopped targeting Peter. Instead, the two sides continued their covert power struggles.

Peter had his people in the office, the business department, and the engineering department, so he had become relatively idle.

"Brother Wang, are you busy?" Imogan Jones walked in, dressed up.

Lately, this beauty had frequented Peter’s office more often, either to clean or to add hot water for him, always managing to flaunt her figure, especially when she bent over—accidentally on purpose revealing her cleavage.

Once Peter accidentally caught sight of her cleavage, and truth be told, it was rather attractive, its tender smooth appearance stirring desires.

"Hmm, Imogan, what’s up?"

"Nothing much, I bought this set of underwear online. Winter is coming, so remember to keep warm."

Peter saw that Imogan Jones indeed had a bag with her.

"This, this might not be appropriate."

"It’s nothing, I was buying online anyway, and it’s cheap. It didn’t cost much; I’m gifting it to you. If you don’t want it, I have nowhere to put it."

After saying that, she cast a coquettish glance at Peter and walked out.

When Peter looked inside the bag, there really was a set of thermal underwear, and it looked quite exquisite.

Recently, this beauty hadn’t been visiting Azrael Richardson!

Peter had already heard about this from Leah Nelson.

Was it possible she had set her sights on him now?

Thinking this, Peter felt somewhat pleased. However, considering this beauty’s scheming nature, Peter wasn’t ready to use her so readily.

A set of thermal clothing was no big deal to accept.

This wasn’t a government office, so Peter wasn’t overly concerned about potential implications.

Having observed the beauty’s situation earlier, Peter could tell she was still a maiden and hadn’t easily given herself away. She was a cunning person, yet while she was manipulative, her loyalty was questionable. Ultimately, should he accept this beauty or not?

A few days rushed by, and everything returned to calm.

Salem Hill hurried in, saying, "Manager, your certificate has been issued."

When Peter looked at it, it indeed was a qualification certificate for a first-class construction manager.

Pleased to have received the certificate, Peter said, "I didn’t expect to get this certificate in my hands for real."

Salem Hill chuckled, "The group corporation is all talking about it, saying how capable you are."

Peter just smiled and asked, "How are things in the Engineering Technology Department lately?"

"With your influence there, no one dares to make trouble. The two deputy managers aren’t causing issues either. Milo Harris is emotionally unstable and I suspect he will leave our branch office."

Milo Harris?

Peter smiled. It was all the same to him if such a person left.

"Oh, and Fahad Thompson has been making moves too. I’ve heard that Manager Harrison is helping him transfer to another project department; he might be leaving soon."

Peter was already somewhat aware of these matters and responded, "Alright, just focus on your work in the department and don’t drop the ball. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come to me."

"Manager Walter is a Great Powerholder. I won’t be troubled by the engineering stuff—and I won’t ask for help unless it’s absolutely necessary."

Peter was satisfied with Salem Hill’s attitude. Recently, many people in the branch office had begun to work diligently, which was a good thing.

"Manager Walter, are you free this evening? Let’s go out for a meal together," Salem Hill asked with a smile.

Realizing it had been a while since he had socialized with the group, Peter inquired, "Who will be there?"

"Just some people we get along with well. Everybody wants to invite Manager Walter for a few drinks."

"Alright then."

Hearing Salem Hill say this, Peter understood that the guests likely belonged to his own faction. With Henry Ford’s people having shifted to his side, along with those he had promoted, his base within the branch office was beginning to form.

Pleased with Peter’s agreement, Salem Hill asked, "Dalton County Luxurious Entertainment Casino, shall I pick you up?"

"No need, I’ll drive myself there."

"Alright, that’s fine. We’ll be drinking, but we’ll have someone from the team help drive back."

It was apparent that Salem Hill and company had made ample preparations for this occasion.

Despite its tacky name, Wealth and Honor Tavern in County Town did quite well in business, offering a one-stop service for dining and entertainment. When Peter arrived, the place was already packed with various types of vehicles.

Peter had only seen this place from afar before. During his bricklaying days, he’d often hear coworkers talk about it, mentioning how it offered not just food but also gambling and other vices. Their expressions when discussing foreign beauties at this place were still fresh in Peter’s memory.

Never had Peter imagined that one day he would dine here. It was only now that he recognized his status had somehow changed.

"Manager Walter, you’ve arrived," greeted a respectful young man.

"And you are?"

"I’m Yahya Stanley, you can just call me Young Yahya. Department Head Hill instructed me to wait for you here—he was our old leader back in the team."

Observing the sharp young man, Peter flashed a smile, "Has the old leader gone inside?"

"Yes, he arrived early and is inside taking care of arrangements."

Guided by the young man, Peter headed inside.

They set up the room in a very quiet corner, showing the effort Salem Hill had put into it.

As soon as Peter entered the room, everyone stood up.

"Manager Walter is here."

"Hello, Manager Walter."

"Manager Walter, please take a seat."

Each person’s face bore a look of eagerness to please. At a glance, Peter recognized some and not others.

"You all arrived early," Peter said with a semblance of calmness still not quite accustomed to the situation, as he shook hands and exchanged greetings with everyone.

Peter now had a bit of a leader’s aura about him.

Having seen how he conducted himself in the company, everyone now gravitated towards Peter willingly.
