Chapter 1391 1386: I... Got Fired?
It turns out that bank employees sent out on assignments are often given various titles to facilitate negotiations abroad. If they encounter an unsolvable issue, it's escalated heavily to headquarters for resolution.And this employee named Charlie Miles from the investment department is currently on a business trip in Huaxia, fitting the profile described by the higher-ups.
After obtaining the information about Charlie Miles, Fraser was filled with a sense of absurdity.
This guy named Charlie Miles is merely a low-level bank employee, and yet he's managed to provoke the Death God?
He even got the Death God to call him personally?
How could this not make him question life's realities?
Nonetheless, Fraser quickly reported the information to Su Chen and sought Su Chen's opinion.
"Honorable Death God, you just want me to terminate this minor employee?" Fraser asked, a bit incredulously.
"Yes, can you terminate him?"
"I can do that. I'll notify the personnel department immediately."
"Good. By the way, he recently called the England Embassy in Huaxia and claimed his life was threatened while working as an employee of England Royal Bank. Can you handle this?"
"Understood, Death God. I'll contact the embassy here. Do you have any other requests?" Fraser responded respectfully.
"Not for now. You've handled today's matters well, thank you." Su Chen replied.
Fraser felt honored and surprised, being thanked by the mighty Death God was a rare privilege.
His aged face was covered in wrinkles: "How could I deserve such praise and thanks from the Death God? Serving the Death God is my honor."
While Su Chen and Fraser were still exchanging pleasantries, Charlie's phone had already begun ringing.
Charlie hurriedly answered the call, which was from the England Embassy in Huaxia.
Without much talk, the caller straightforwardly informed Charlie: "Mr. Charlie Miles, according to the latest information from home, you have been unilaterally terminated by England Royal Bank. You are no longer an employee of the bank."
Charlie Miles froze, holding the phone, his face a picture of bewilderment.
I... have been terminated?
Only now did Charlie recall the call Su Chen made beside him earlier, where the opposite party had asked for his name and position at England Royal Bank.
Under Su Chen's pressure, he chose to reveal it, but he hadn't expected that in such a short period, Su Chen genuinely had contacts with England Royal Bank's higher-ups and persuaded them to terminate him.
He, Charlie Miles, might not be a big shot, but he's a citizen of England, a person with rights!
How could England Royal Bank treat him this way?!
He has been an employee at England Royal Bank for over ten years!
Yet now, without a word, the bank has terminated him, how can he accept this?
Charlie was utterly stunned, unable to process this sudden news.
However, for the higher-ups at England Royal Bank, this was an exceptionally important task from above.
Even though they didn't understand why the company's boss would notice such a minor character like Charlie Miles, it didn't stop them from executing the upper-level directives.
They also informed the England Embassy in Huaxia of the matter, as per the upper-level instructions.
Anyone having a conflict with Charlie Miles was to be treated with the utmost respect, no disrespect should be shown.
Although England Royal Bank is not an official body, those of noble standing in England indeed wield considerable power.
Moreover, with the Bank having shares from the England Royal Family, the embassy staff dared not slack off on tasks assigned by them.
But upon receiving the call from home, the embassy officials had already set off, and they had informed the Huaxia authorities, considering the matter involved diplomatic disputes, the embassy was quite cautious.
The developments of this incident were beginning to spiral out of control...
Meanwhile, after handling Su Chen's matters, Fraser hesitantly brought up another issue with Su Chen.
"Death God, do you have plans to travel to Europe soon?"
Fraser cautiously probed, to which Su Chen keenly sensed a deeper implication, and smiled, "What's wrong, you facing difficulties?"
"Haha, nothing escapes the wise eyes of the Death God. I'm facing some trouble recently. Would you grant me the honor of inviting you to visit Europe?"
Fraser was slightly nervous, having been quite troubled recently.
It wouldn't be wrong to describe it as internal and external turmoil; a rival family wanted him dead, and internal family, too, was rife with conflicts with many wishing him out.
Though he has gathered some powerful bodyguards by his side, they were barely enough to save his life, realistically, he couldn't hope to take out the opponent.
Furthermore, the corporate group wasn't united; his position as an executive was merely on account of holding around thirty percent voting rights combined with granting substantial benefits to shareholder families.
Without external intervention, his current position may not last beyond three months, and he might even face a deadly threat.
This wasn't mere speculation.
Such is the ruthless nature of power struggles.
Fraser himself had been involved in such matters, once almost falling victim to a setup and becoming sacrificial. Fortunately, thanks to Su Chen's timely intervention, Fraser survived.
Now, contact by Su Chen seemed like an opportune dawn for him.
Upon hearing Fraser's invitation, Su Chen contemplated for a moment; Europe—truthfully, he hadn't planned to leave Jiangdu lately.
But he never liked taking advantage of others, and today Fraser had helped him a lot.
A trip to Europe wasn't out of the question.
Besides, Fraser wouldn't let him go for nothing.
Previously, when briefly employed by Fraser, he received thirty million US Dollars within three days—a generously high reward.
But it was money well spent by Fraser, given Su Chen's capability, solving Fraser's issue safely wouldn't pose much difficulty.
After facing adverse impacts from opposing forces, he contemplated contacting Su Chen for resolution but lacked Su Chen's contact information, leading him to give up.
Unexpectedly, the contact information he forcibly gave Su Chen now proved effective, as Su Chen had indeed reached out.
While awaiting anxiously, Su Chen agreed.
"Alright, I'll be free to visit Europe in some time, is it urgent on your end?"
