Back to the Past: Breaking the Love Spell ( Carlisle Zahn ) Novel

Chapter 614

Kevin scowled and said, "Mr. Toole's nephew didn't even apply to take the day off and took off on a date. He wants us to take care of the cargo loading his nephew was supposed to be responsible for!"

Was the team leader, Donald Toole, bullying them because they were new?

Wendell looked cold as he said, "Will you give them your nephew's salary for the day?"

"Hey! How dare you give me that attitude?" Donald stared at Wendell in surprise.

The three were new staff members who had only been there for about a month. How could they be bold enough to talk back to him?

"How dare you speak to me this way? Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who you are?" Donald prodded at Wendell's firm chest muscles.

Wendell grabbed his finger and bent it back.

"Hey! It hurts!" Donald grimaced in pain. "Help! He's using violence against me! He's hitting me!"

Donald was popular amongst the staff, and several other workers ran up. After all, he was the one who had gotten them their jobs, and they were from the same village.

Kevin was a little agitated. "Wendell, why did you do that?"

They had spent one hundred and 50 thousand to get all three of them into 10KFresh.

The company rules clearly stated that anyone who got into a fight would be fired, regardless of which party was right or wrong.

Wendell was always telling them to control their tempers and never get into a physical conflict with the workers here. Otherwise, the hundred and 50 thousand they spent would all go down the drain.

Donald had been causing a lot of trouble for them lately, but they had endured it in silence. Why was Wendell being so impulsive?

If the company fired them, what would they tell Carlisle?

Zack blocked one of the men who had rushed over.

One of them grabbed Zack by the collar and raised his hand to slap him.

They had all gotten their jobs thanks to Donald, and it was hard to find a job that paid them one thousand dollars a month.

Now that Donald was being bullied, they could not just stand by and watch.

Wendell said expressionlessly, "It's self-defense."

Zack's demeanor changed at once.

He dodged the slap and clenched his right hand into a fist. With a swift right hook, he punched the man on the chin.

Kevin moved at the same time. He charged at the oncoming men like a starved tiger. Within an instant, he had beaten all of them with his military boxing technique.

Carlisle and Francis were waiting by the side of the road at Glamor Hotel.

When Hank arrived in his cab, they both got in and headed straight to Caltopia College. Hank had been on the train for an entire day and night. He smelled of stale bread and stinky feet, and his hair was a mess. He carried a black backpack, and his expression was stormy.

When he used to hang around with Heath, all the thugs and gangsters would give him a wide berth. Now he had been pickpocketed on his business trip to Yorskle.

As the saying went, the loss of influence would result in many indignities.

"How much money did you lose?" Francis asked, suppressing a smile.

Hank was very strict at Govan Technology Limited.

Last week, he had fined Renee.

He must be getting what he deserved.

"Two thousand..." Hank looked frustrated. "Losing my money is one thing, but I also lost my ID and the only photo I have with my girlfriend!"

Francis laughed and comforted him, "Just think of it as using up your bad luck all at once. You can take another photo, can't you? Since you happen to be in Yorksle on a business trip, you can take a couple more with your girlfriend!"

Hank leaned against his seat and sighed. "I hope she won't blame me for it."

Carlisle deduced a few things from how worried Hank was.

Hank might be in an unbalanced relationship where he was much more invested than his girlfriend.

If they had a good relationship, they should have many photos together. However, Hank treated their only photo together like a treasure. It wasn't because Hank didn't like taking pictures, but his girlfriend must be the one who wasn't willing to take photos with him.

"You're the Director of R&D. What kind of business would require you to come personally?" Carlisle asked suddenly.

"The Govan system has already managed to develop an MP3 player function, but we've reached a bottleneck in playing MP4s. I have a few old friends working at Storm Studios, and they're experts in this field!" Hank's eyes were glowing, and he was very excited.

Portable MP3s were the current trend on the market, but there weren't many phones that were able to play MP3s. MP4, media players had only appeared in 2002, and currently, it still wasn't a household object. Now, Hank and Carlisle were trying to embed the ability to play MP4s into the phones they were making.

Govan's phones would be a huge step forward for human civilization.

The video player that Carlisle had mentioned could be connected to the Internet to watch videos online or to watch shows on TV. Hank hadn't even dared to think about that yet, as it would not be able to become a reality for a long time unless they could upgrade from a 2G to

a 3G network.

Govan's phones were called "3G Smartphones", and without a 3G network, most of the phone's functions would be redundant.
