Chapter 359: Revisiting the Past (Part II)
- "Haha...... You're right! We won't mention it, but there's one thing I've always been a little suspicious of, Linna, have you never really been happy with me? Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to replace Andrei, hehe...... I'm just referring to the fact that as an ordinary friend, am I not welcome with you? Roman asked.
- "Roman, how can you have such an idea? It's an honor to have a friend like you! That is, our conversation about the vice president of the customs clearance company was very unpleasant.
Actually, I have always been very grateful for your generosity...... I remember the glamorous dinner you invited me to. You've also sent me some of the most gorgeous bouquets in the world. There are also very delicious snacks that you recommended to me...... Oh, and dancing with you is a great pleasure. I said to Roman.
- "Linna, do you remember that party! To be honest, what impressed me about that party was that you who were a bit of a maverick. Don't you like the guests at my party? Roman asked
- "I'm not very sociable! This kind of occasion has always felt very uncomfortable for me. I think even this Sergei is aware of it. He didn't force me to do that either...... I don't know if my behavior at the party is really that inappropriate? I asked.
- "Seryosha, aha! We'll talk about his quirks in this area later. Linna, you know what? I do find it a little strange to see you refuse to dance with Daniel. You know, there's no girl who doesn't want to dance with Daniel! Roman said
- "As I said, I'm not very sociable, and I'm not used to dancing with strangers! ”
- "Oh! After we came back from Shanghai, you and Daniel are not familiar with each other? Roman asked, looking at me slyly.
- "I don't know how to dance much, I'm worried about losing Daniel's talent." I said
- "Haha...... You can't fool Daniel about this! Roman smiled and winked at me.
- "Daniel is upset with me because of this?" I asked.
- "Daniel says that Lena is a nice girl, but she has a strange temperament! However, I intuitively think that Daniel has a very good impression of you!!
You said that Daniel didn't relay your scolding to me because he was afraid that I would be angry. Do you think that if Seryosha had said this, Daniel would have hidden it for him? Maybe Daniel is trying to drive me crazy with this...... Hehe! Roman smiled.
Although in the matter of customs clearance companies, Daniel and Roman's approach is very unscrupulous.
However, they were mainly directed against Sergei. After joining the company, Daniel not only didn't want to get rid of me, but also wanted to take me in. Maybe that's why Daniel didn't kill me!
Thinking of this, Daniel's beautiful dizzying face appeared in front of my eyes again, he didn't relay my words to scold Roman, but he hated my comments about Sergei, did this also reach Roman's ears? Thinking of this, I asked Roman:
- "Roman, do you think it's ridiculous for Daniel to defend Sergei like that?" Actually, before he came to the company as vice president, I really didn't have any opinions about him, and after I was reinstated, I talked about him with Sergei, and Sergei didn't seem to know much about his situation. What happened to Daniel? Did he cause him a lot of trouble in the company's treasury? ”
- "I think Daniel had expected you to help him out in this company. However, I really don't know why Daniel agreed to your departure, and Daniel didn't talk to me about it at all.
At that time, I was mainly concerned about the selection of the general manager of the company, and the distribution of power in the company, and then a series of contradictions and problems that arose in the management of the company...... At that time, I really ignored you.
Lina, you also know what happened to the company later, as Seryosha said, Daniel is indeed too young. Fortunately, he is only the deputy general manager, and despite my support, he still has limited authority, otherwise he ......
Alas! The newly appointed general manager has no experience in managing a customs clearance company. It's also a bit overwhelming to run this company. He was even less capable of restraining Daniel.
Lina, Daniel's current situation, I am responsible. If I hadn't followed him so well, he wouldn't be like this now! Roman sighed, looking at the coffee cup with a look in his eyes that was very self-reproachful.
After a while, Roman took a sip of his coffee and continued:
- "Actually, I can't blame Daniel for this, and I also agreed with Daniel's business philosophy at the time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to get the company.
At first, Daniel instilled in me that Seryosha's company could give me even more benefits! I think Daniel's purpose in saying this at the beginning of the term was just to show his cleverness and please me! He didn't even think to run the business himself.
However, seeing that the company I recommended Seryosha was in full swing, I really made some unreasonable demands to him. Of course, Seryosha's attitude, I think you can guess it too!
Seryosha's non-cooperation really made me feel very shameless. Daniel saw this, and began to slander Seryosha's character. As it happens, I lost several investments at that time, and I wanted to rush back to my roots! Also, I began to feel unbalanced about how quickly Seryosha is gaining popularity in Moscow!
All this made me start to be dissatisfied with Seryosha!
In fact, I also know that Daniel's talent cannot support his ambition. However, on the other hand, Daniel is much easier to control than Seryosha!
Alas! …… What we didn't expect was that the interests of all parties involved in Seryosha's logistics clearance company were more complex than we expected. Even the board of directors was not fully prepared for this, otherwise, the new general manager would not have made so many mistakes.
The most pitiful of all is Daniel! He is too conceited, too eager for quick success, I should know that Daniel is far less in control of some things than Seryosha! There are many things that I didn't stop him in time, and I am indeed responsible for this! ”
- "Daniel, how is he now?" I asked, a little worried.
- "Daniel really can't shirk responsibility in the case of the treasury. However, he was absolutely not involved in smuggling or criminal activities. Daniel's mistake was that he shouldn't be in the company of someone like that. He made a blind eye to the goods in his custody for the sake of a high service fee, which is also illegal, but it is different from the nature of those bandits.
Originally, I asked a friend from the Department of Justice to be lenient with Daniel. However, what I didn't expect was that Yuri seemed to be particularly concerned about this case, and he kept holding Daniel!
At first, I thought Seryosha wanted to take revenge on Daniel and Yuri for doing this. I begged Seryosha to spare Daniel.
Seryosha said that as long as Daniel no longer has any bad influence on the management and operation of the company, he does not want to pursue Daniel at all! Daniel is now suspended, and he doesn't want Daniel to be held accountable for other joint and several responsibilities.
Seryosha told me that Yuri did it because he wanted to get more information from Daniel about the criminal syndicates he had come into contact with...... Even Sergey said that Yuri's approach was really risky for Daniel! He himself disagreed. ”
- "Yuri, have you captured Daniel?" I asked, surprised
- "It took a lot of effort for Yuri to let Daniel go. Even Yuri didn't understand, I could do this for Daniel, but fortunately, Yuri still gave me face and didn't chase Daniel so relentlessly! ”
- "Do you think you're responsible ......for Daniel's business?"
- "Yes! However, another important reason why I treated Daniel the way I did was that I thought of Seryosha! I kept wondering what Seryosha would have done if he had encountered my situation. Linna, Seryosha is not responsible for your affairs at all, but I am not to blame for Daniel's affairs. Everything I did to Daniel was actually atonement for my sins. ”
- "It's good that Daniel is okay!" I said
- "Are you alright? How can it be that simple! Daniel hasn't been back for the past two years, and I see when Yuri really doesn't track him down anymore, and then I dare to let him come back. Roman looked at me and smiled wryly.
