to test you.”

 

Without waiting for Peter’s rejection, Leo continued, “If you think you are not compatible with El Tech Company, you are free to leave after the product launch.
Besides, as the speaker at the upcoming product launch, I can pay one thousand dollars as your payment.
If you perform well, I can increase your payment.”

 

This time, Peter was tempted by Leo’s suggestion.
It was true he had not much saving, or accurately, flat broke.

 

Because of Dr.
Octavius’s funding issues, his source of income was cut off completely.
It was impossible for him to pay the next month’s rent.

 

One thousand dollars indeed could solve Peter’s urgent needs.
Moreover, according to Leo, Peter was free to come and go, not bound by any legal restraints.

 

Besides, it was difficult for him to focus on the research since Dr.
Octavious’ emotions were unstable lately.
It was pointless for Peter to go to Dr.
Octavious’s laboratory, it was better to let Doc calm down for a few days.

 

More importantly, Mary Jane was silently nudging Peter, hinting at him to accept Leo’s suggestion.

 

He could not turn down Mary Jane’s good intentions this time, thus replying, “Mr.
Erwin, thank you for your trust and understanding, I’m willing to try the role of a speaker.
Also, your conditions are too tempting, it’s hard for me to turn down.”

 

“Then, happy cooperation! You can start coming tomorrow, I’ll arrange a position for you.
El Tech Company’s product launch is set for next week, so you still have enough time to familiarize yourself with El Gen-1 and prepare your speech.
I’m expecting a great performance from you.” Leo warmly shook Peter’s hand before turning to Mary Jane by the side and shaking her hand too.

 

Looking at Mary Jane being sincerely happy for Peter, another scheme emerged in Leo’s mind!

 

Leo spoke in a half-jokingly tone, “Miss Jane, seems like you care about Peter very much.
Your relationship must be great, right?”

 

“We have known each other since we were kids and we studied in the same high schools and university.
It’s only right to care for each other.”

 

“Childhood playmate, a pea in the pod.
Are both of you in a relationship?”

 

“Sort of… Erm, we used to be!” Mary Jane was caught off guard by Leo’s question and right now her mind was full of Peter, so she subconsciously answered.
Then, she immediately explained and her face instantly was flushed.

 

“Mr.
Erwin, you always act unsuitably for your status.
You don’t look like a board director of a company at all.” Mary Jane grumbled at Leo to ease her shyness.

 

Leo chuckled, “I’m not that old, at most older by three or four years.
I also have similar interests and hobbies.
So you should think of me as a friend instead of an employer.
And between friends, it’s normal for them to pair up with each other! Looks like I guessed correctly.”

 

Peter by the side was full of smiles when he listened to the conversation between Mary Jane and Leo.
His reason for calling Mary Jane was to make up with her and from the looks of it, he had succeeded.

 

Glancing at Peter who was as happy as a lark, Leo suddenly slyly said, “Peter, loving a lady is not enough with sincerity alone! You must satisfy her in terms of material too.
From your performance during the tour just now, I’m very optimistic about your ability.
So, El Tech Company will always welcome you.”

 

The reason Leo did so was that it was part of his thousand schemes to attract Peter to join El Tech Company.
As long as Peter joined, he could slowly gain the web-shooter.

 

However, from the looks of it, the main reason Peter agreed to become the speaker was the one thousand dollars payment.

 

Therefore, Leo would help Peter to think of places that required the money…

 

After all, why flirt with girls when you’re dirt-poor?
