THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 19's. Intimidations
"Sergie, what about you?" I'm waiting for the answer of the son that his mother is most proud of.
"I will try to do better, I will make this year's achievements a motivation to achieve even better in the future." Sergie was obviously proud that he was able to beat me with the group he led this year. Maybe that was enough to beat me.
"Leo, how about you, are you ready to compete and prove yourself too. You're Dad's assigned to Russia, you've got plenty of time to consult with Uncle or Dad. You can take advantage of that advantage. Or you want to focus your other work you can talk here."
According to Aunt Irina, Leo was not very good at the business he was given, he was vice-director of the company he was given, but all the decisions that never involved him were left to the professional CEO. He was more interested in the flower business with his friend and his art gallery. He seems to have talent there. His business is growing well in that area. Margarita did not seem to expect Leo much.
"Because Dad gave me a chance to talk, I'll talk. I don't think I'm a good fit in the retail business that Dad gave me. I prefer what I do now in my flower decoration company and art gallery. I'll focus there and pursue my passion there if I let you." He has a clear voice, working according to his passion will obviously be better results. But his mother was quite disappointed with this.
"You, how you..." His mother immediately cut off Leo's words.
I cut the Margarita.
"Tell me what you want to say, Leo, men should have their own voice. So you're gonna give up your job?"
"Yes, I'm now focused on my own business. The position you gave me was actually useless, I focused on my own business." Leo seems not interested in the salary and benefits that can be obtained from his position. He has his own idealism.
"Good, you've got the courage to say you want to focus on what you like. I hope you succeed in the business you're fighting for, all the core business is the same, you want to focus where no matter how big or small it is important to make a profit. I see you're growing in your field. Nice work, Leo."
"Then this will be a rivalry between Alexsey and Sergie. You focus on the company that is burdened on you both, I will see the results of your work with Uncle and the Directors in the main company. In the years to come we will know who is the best and worthy to hold the lead of the main company among you."
"We understand." We both answered together, I feel ready for this gamble. This is my chance to prove I'm the best.
Margarita's face looks unhappy of course, she's been trying to keep me away for life from the main company. But eventually Dad gave us the same opportunity. All of this could be said to be in vain.
And he couldn't go against Dad's words, because he would be considered favoritism and scuttle me. Even though he could send me to Canada until now, on the grounds that I could be an example of being independent for my sisters, it was an advantage to me.
The short dinner ended later.
We went back to our rooms. Halfway to Margarita's room followed me.
"Wait a minute!" Margarita's sharp voice was heard by me. I know he's trying to bury me alive right now. So let him talk now.
"You think you won, don't you?" I grimaced a little at him, did he think he could prevent me from racing to defeat his son?
"Win? Win from what? A new race has begun, an hour has not passed, how can I be said to win?"
