Chapter 1122: Chapter 1122: Too Arrogant!
"It’s just good luck, and since I’m a designer, I need to do my job well."
Elijah Walker answered very blandly, then brushed past Teddy Carter.
But Elijah’s attitude only infuriated Teddy Carter more, and he watched Elijah’s retreating figure mutter ominously,
"Right, the great designer Elijah just does his own job, submitting the designs he likes and directly suppressing the ones he dislikes, without ever promoting them."
This caused Elijah to pause, and he turned to look at Teddy, furrowing his brows deeply.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? You, the great designer, don’t know?" Teddy looked back at Elijah innocently.
"You better explain yourself clearly."
Though Elijah was somewhat dull, he actually had a bad temper. He had initially noticed Teddy’s sardonic tone but chose to ignore it out of patience; however, now his anger was stirred.
Teddy’s smile remained unchanged, and this time, he didn’t speak to Elijah alone but turned to the onlooking crowd, saying, "You all might not know, but this great designer Elijah did something quite impressive."
Seeing the curious expressions on the bystanders’ faces, Teddy cleared his throat and continued,
"Our great designer suppresses the staff in his team. The designs they painstakingly create over a long time get suppressed by him and end up never being launched as new products. Isn’t that something? I wouldn’t dare do that."
At this, the bystanders erupted in surprise.
Moreover, since Elijah suddenly received the assignment for a new product design, there had already been some murmurs about him in the company; now Teddy was openly saying such things.
People began to gossip about Elijah:
"Is that true? He dared to do such a thing?"
"That’s too arrogant."
"Could it be that his team members didn’t please him, so he suppressed their designs?"
The chatter reached Elijah’s ears and instantly ignited his anger.
He quickly stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed Teddy by the collar.
"What are you blabbering about?"
But Teddy acted very scared, hurriedly raising his hands to block the furious Elijah.
"Oh my gosh, Elijah Walker, what are you trying to do? You’re not thinking of hitting me, are you?"
"Elijah, shut your mouth and stop spreading false rumors here," Elijah said through clenched teeth.
"What do you mean false rumors? I have evidence for what I’m saying. This time, out of twenty-one sets, twenty-one were launched based on the designs. But I remember you all submitted sixty-six designs in total, so logically, shouldn’t there have been twenty-two sets launched? How come there’s one missing?"
Teddy questioned, "Whose design is missing? Was it one of your team members? How pitiful."
Teddy’s words made Elijah suddenly remember Florienna Ellis, who had been recommended to the company by Teddy.
"How did you know about this?"
"Elijah, the designer, so you’re admitting it now? You really suppressed an employee’s design?"
Teddy seized on the loophole in Elijah’s words, and immediately began pressing further.
