"I-Invite Ares, the God of War, to dinner?!" Jeffred exclaimed bitterly, a little speechless. "Aren't you trying to put me in a difficult situation? Don't you know what kind of figure Ares, the God of War, is? Do you think it's possible to invite him whenever we want to?!"
Stanley then replied with a smile, "That's why I came to ask you for help!"
Without waiting for Jeffred to refuse, he continued, "Director Church, remember the time when you and several other doctors who came back from overseas were competing for the director position in Hill Crest Hospital? If I hadn't convinced Director Wayne of the Health Bureau, did you think you would have stood out from them?"
"I…" Jeffred's face suddenly darkened when he heard Stanley's words.
"This… President Kean, of course, I will not forget your kindness and virtue… How about this? I will try my best to invite Ares, the God of War, to have dinner with you. Don't blame me if it doesn't work out, though!"
Hearing that, Stanley immediately rejoiced. "It's decided, then! I will inform you of the banquet venue tomorrow as soon as possible!"
After hanging up the phone, Jeffred spat and scolded, "Pfft! What kind of bullsh*t is he talking about?! Isn't he embarrassed to be mentioning a small favor from years ago?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang again.
"Hey, Mr. Lawrence. Yes. That's right… But I have already promised President Stanley Kean of Kean Corporation. Yes, you may negotiate with him…"
The sweat on Jeffred's forehead started dripping down from his temples.
It was another person who wanted to befriend Ares, the God of War!
Ring! Ring!
"Hello, President Sanders. Yes. Kean Corporation will be hosting a banquet for Ares, the God of War..."
Ring! Ring!
"Hello, Mr. Ziegler..."
"Hi, Director Murphy..."
…
Within an hour, Jeffred had answered numerous phone calls. There were no exceptions because all of them were asking for Ares, the God of War!
The series of calls had threatened to burn his phone up!
