TVTLQ - Chapter 127
The Villainess Wants To Live Quietly
"I am afraid that what happened that day will be discovered. If you get caught because you embarrassed your successor like that, there could be a big fight."
"Pierre's successor will be Miss Rosenia."
"Is that possible? It seems like he is still trying to pass everything on to his son as a Marquis."
"We must prevent that from happening."
"Will the Duke come forward in person?"
Calix lazily clasped his hands.
"Of course, I have to make sure they don't know that I did it. To Marquis Pierre and to Miss Rosenia."
From the moment he heard the news from Pierre, Calix had already decided to help Rosenia. But he had no intention of approaching blindly like before.
If you act like that, Rosenia will definitely think that he's plotting something else. He had no intention of condescending to help. The plan was to keep Rosenia from knowing that he had helped her.
He just thought he would be proud if Rosenia smiled as a result of all her actions.
'I told you to think about what the other person wants and move for that.'
Calix was gradually understanding the advice Penelope left behind.
"It doesn't seem like it's that difficult. Wouldn't it be better to make Nathaniel's incompetence more noticeable?"
"Still, will the Marquis care?"
"That may be true for the Marquis, but not for the employees at the top. They are already accustomed to the sweetness given to them by Miss Rosenia. The company they worked for was a successful place where even the Crown Prince personally held a groundbreaking ceremony, so if it suddenly deteriorated, they would be dissatisfied. To the point where they're thinking about changing jobs."
Calix twisted his mouth.
"We will have to issue a recruitment notice for Alter Trading Company promptly. Spread nonsense too. If they join Alter Trading Company, they will receive double their existing annual salary."
"Yes? Then Miss Rosenia won't stay still."
"That's what I'm aiming for. It is said that the Pierre clan has now gathered around Miss Rosenia, but there will be some who reluctantly follow because of the surrounding atmosphere. If we leave those people alone, they will move around and cause harm."
"Then you are intentionally weeding them out..."
"If they are talented, Miss Rosenia will do whatever it takes to catch them, so the only people who will leave Pierren are half-baked idiots. I will take this opportunity to give Miss Rosenia a more perfect Pierre than now."
"But wouldn't that make Miss Rosenia hate the Duke even more?"
Dominic, who heard Calix's plan, hesitated and asked.
Calix's expression darkened for a moment. He tried to speak calmly.
"I will endure it."
A look of regret flashed across Dominic's face.
"When we post a job posting, we hire a few people. However, place them at the lowest level and do not acknowledge their experience. The salary is always lower than before changing jobs. Only then will the people left on the other side think that their choice was right."
"I understand, Duke."
"Then I guess we should first bring down Nathaniel's reputation."
Calix raised his eyebrows slyly.
Still, thinking about tormenting Nathaniel made Calix feel a little better.
After all, songworms have to eat pine needles to grow.

William, who is already approaching 50 years of working at Pierre Merchant, had a special affection for Pierre.
'The owner of the house is the Marquis, but it's still the same as raising almost all of them.'
He started from the bottom and went through all sorts of hardships to raise it to the level it is now.
Although he was not married, he considered Pierre to be no different from his own child. His remarkable child has currently performing at its best since its founding.
"If this continues, it is possible to take the top spot in supply market share within a year.'
His long-held dream is not far away.
And that dream seemed achievable with Rosenia at the forefront.
'Nathaniel is honestly hopeless.'
He knew it too. Nathaniel is just a fool and a person who will be of no help to the top.
The Marquis asked him to stay by Nathaniel's side for a month and teach him, but he was told that he would not be able to achieve results even if given time anyway.
However, even though he knew this, the reason he accepted the Marquis's request was because of his fear of division.
'Of course, it would be best if the Marquis formally recognized the Vice President."
Currently, the Marquis is taking Nathaniel's side. In other words, the current fight is not a problem between Rosenia and Nathaniel, but a problem of dividing those who support Rosenia and those who support the Marquis.
In such a situation, William ultimately had no choice but to support the Marquis, who had maintained his position as a merchant for a long time.
"Nathaniel."
In the end, William, who had come to teach Nathaniel as requested by the Marquis, opened his mouth.
"Nathaniel, what do you think is the most important thing in growing the top?"
Nathaniel is not even a kid taking management classes for the first time, so he's asking such a basic question.
However, in William's opinion, the progress was just right for Nathaniel.
Nathaniel crossed his arms crookedly.
"Of course it's money."
"What made you think that?"
"You can't do anything if you don't have money, right? In the end, the employees' salaries all come from my father's wallet. So, work while knowing that you will be grateful."
Is this really something that a manager can say?
William gathered his patience and continued asking questions.
"Then let me ask you another question. Mr. Nathaniel, who do you think is the biggest enemy of our Pierre Merchant Marine?"
"Are you asking because you don't know that? It's Rosenia!"
Nathaniel slammed his fist on the desk.
"She's trying to take what's mine. She was full of greed since she was young, but now she has become very stubborn. She should have been educated by hitting too."
"Injuries sober... No, you don't plan on cooperating with your younger sister to lead the company?"
William asked, gathering a little hope.
If he couldn't change the Marquis's mind, he hoped that his two children would at least cooperate with each other to lead the business.
"Are you crazy?"
But what came back was a sharp response.
Nathaniel raised his red eyes sinisterly.
He never gives up what's mine. Even calling Rosenia his younger sister makes him angry.
"How dare she, my younger sister, overtake what is mine?"
Nathaniel stomped his foot.
William gulped as he looked at Nathaniel, who didn't even try to hide his violent nature.
He recalled what the Marquis had said.
'Didn't you tell me when my son first started walking?'
Later, he tells Nathaniel that he will have to work hard to hand over the grown-up Pierre.
Why did he say that twenty years ago?
'He was cute when he was young.
Basically, all animals are cute when they are babies. As he grows older, they become more disgusting and someone like Nathaniel emerges.
At that time, a noise was heard outside the window.
"Nathaniel! Here comes Emily! You haven't forgotten me, right?"
It was the voice of some women.
It seemed as if Nathaniel's name was heard between the mumblings.
And that wasn't the end.
"Is this where that rotten thing lives?!"
"Come out now! Take my money!"
The noise, which was a little annoying at first, gradually became louder.
Eventually, William got nervous and came out of the room and asked the staff.
"What on earth is going on?"
"That's it, William."
The employee was sweating profusely and embarrassed.
At the same time, the door to the building burst open and people from outside poured in.
"I heard Nathaniel is back!"
"Where is this bastard who will kill me? Where is the guy who scammed me and ran away?"
"Wait a minute! You can't do this here!"
The staff tried to stop people, but it wasn't enough.
And a woman was coming in between them, stroking her swollen belly.
"Baby, now you are going to meet your father. Aren't you happy?"
"Oh, baby?"
When William asked back in an absent-minded voice, the woman who heard this grinned.
"Yes. I am Nathaniel's wife whom he took in from the estate. Pierre's successor is here."
William's legs relaxed.
What the Marquis entrusted to him was not a person. It was a nuisance that brought with it all kinds of problems.
