The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 681

"Mango, open the door! Ask that b*tch to come out! D*mn it, I want her to know who I am!"

It had been a long time since Walter last threw a fit.

He didn't care about controlling his temper as this woman had just ruined his reputation.

How dare a short woman like her judge and criticize him when he was way taller than her? He must reproach her!

Walter wanted to show her his true colors at this moment!

Mango looked at Novalee in confusion as she gestured, "What's going on?"

"Haih... Nothing much, he's just a pretty boy and I can defeat him effortlessly, so don't worry about it, Ms. Shen. How disappointing, I thought he was a big shot."

Novalee spoke in an indifferent tone but Mango entirely shocked.

She could defeat Walter effortlessly?

Was that even possible?

Walter was a martial arts practitioner after all!

"What did you do to him?"

Mango was dying to know what happened.

Walter was seldom affected by women but he seemed to have a grudge against Novalee.

Novalee said nonchalantly, "I didn't do anything... I just pushed him away, and it wasn't even my fault as he was being really inconsiderate by sitting right in front of the door. He's just a good- for-nothing, and he would have been driven out if he lived in my village as he obviously can't do any heavy work, considering his frail physique."

Mango was stunned upon hearing Novalee's words.

At that moment, she realized that she didn't see Walter the same way Novalee did.

"That's not true, Novalee, he's not a commoner, neither does he need to do hard labour as he is..."

"I don't care who he is and I'll shove the sluggard away as long as he's blocking your way."

Novalee spoke before Mango could finish her gestures.

Walter clearly heard their conversation outside and he was smoldering with anger as rage consumed him.

Shove the sluggard away?

Did she want him to end her life?

Mango couldn't help but feel worried as she looked in the direction of the door before glancing at Novalee, who was utterly indifferent.

"Well... Novalee, you'd better leave the person outside alone."

"Why? Did he blackmail you, Ms. Shen? Whatever it is, don't be afraid, as I'm here! Women run the world now, you know?"

Novalee patted her chest and promised as she thought that Mango was scared.

At that moment, Mango felt secure being with Novalee, although she was petite.

Mango smiled and gestured, "It's fine, as he's actually my friend."

"Friend? Why do you have such an inconsiderate friend? No wonder you asked me to help you manage the company... It's because everyone around you is a good-for-nothing!"

Novalee's words drove Walter crazy.

"B*tch, come out! I swear with my name that I'll beat you to death!"

Mango found it amusing and her anger subsided in an instant as it was her first time seeing Walter getting so enraged because of a woman.

"Can you stop yelling? Only incapable men would bawl non-stop in our village, though you don't look

like a man in the first place."

Novalee clicked her tongue while anger was overpowering Walter.

He had subdued countless women in the past few years and his capability and endurance were widely acknowledged. However, this woman said that he wasn't a man?

Where did this woman come from?

Mango pursed her lips as she watched the two of them bickered with each other.

Novalee had no intention of arguing with Walter, so she went straight to the point and said to Mango, "Ms. Shen, I have completed the financial report of the first quarter of the year, but you should have a look as the numbers do not add up."

Novalee handed the report to Mango.

Novalee seemed to be a weak woman considering her petiteness, yet the report she did was surprisingly crystal clear and Mango could comprehend it at a glance.

"You did this?"

"Yes, the accountant is Boston's subordinate, and I heard that Boston ran away after sending in a resignation letter. I did this myself as we haven't found a suitable accountant to take over the position."

Novalee was a straightforward person who would say whatever on her mind.

"Ms. Shen, many employees in the company are slacking off all the time and most of them are Boston's relatives although they aren't close to him at all. What's more, their salaries are really high although our company does not need so many workers to begin with. As I see it, we don't need too many logistics staff, and we should fix the number of tour guides in our company. I'll also talk to the car dealers about our cooperation, so overall, two-thirds of our employees should be fired."

Mango was stunned at Novalee's words.

"Isn't it a little too much to fire two-thirds of them? What if they make a big fuss about it?"

Mango asked with concern.

However, Novalee shook her head and said, "Ms. Shen, you won't have to deal with this issue yourself as I'll handle it. The employees have a strong ancestral bond and often discriminate against outsiders, so they might not obey you although you have already taken over the company. However, now that you have entrusted the company to me, I'll make sure to manage it properly as long as you have faith in me. If we cut down the number of employees and save up on wage expenditures, we can make more investments and expand the industry. I heard that there's a potential tourism area currently under development not far away, so we could invest in that project."

Mango felt that she had chosen the right person as Novalee sounded confident and reassured.

She looked at Novalee and nodded with a smile.

"Alright, sorry for the trouble, but from now on you can treat the company as your own. However, I won't give you a salary as I will let you become one of the shareholders instead. By the end of this year, well have the dividends."

Novalee was exhilarated after hearing what Mango said.

"Ms. Shen, are you serious? I have no funds to invest in the company..."
