Chapter 375 - A Meal With Her Employees (Four)
Every team is now in a position, holding a big rope. The surrounding people were exhilarated, cheering for their best team, which some began putting a bet on who will win.
The Davies Group secretaries didn't stop shouting their boss's names.
"Good luck, boss Wilson!" Helen shouted on top of her lungs, leading the secretaries to cheer.
Both on her side are May and other secretaries cheering along with her.
The table near these girls is Kelly, Gigi, and Vera, along with the three teenage girls who also cheered for Hailee's knights.
Vera stares at Geoffrey, but his eyes are only at Hailee. Seeing this, there is a pain in her heart that Geoffrey's apple in the eyes was still Hailee even though her cousin is getting married to another man.
She glanced at Hailee, who was only looking at her husband, ignoring everyone else.
'Geoffrey, why don't you give up? Hailee is already happy with someone else.'
Vera buried the turmoil that was surging in her chest. She distracted herself and tried to impose her attention on other things. She looked at Gigi and felt a little envious.
Gigi is cheering Tom and blows a kiss on the air for him. James saw the girls' actions, and he glanced over his shoulder and sneered at the guy positioned behind him.
Tom hooked his mouth into a smirk after he saw how jealous James was.
James is even more disheartened when he hears Hazel cheer for the Shen Group. Even Nadia and Liza choose to cheer for Vincent's team.
"Tsh! I'm going to beat Vincent's ass!"
"I love you, hubby! Good Luck!"
However, Hailee's voice echoed among the noises that made all the knights grit their teeth. Now they are all determined to beat everyone, especially the Shen Group.
"Alright, everyone is in a position now?" Tim began. "Ready… Set… Pull!"
The eight teams with twelve members used all their might to pull the opposing teams. In this first round, four teams will fight for the second round, and two teams will face the final round.
No one from the eight teams gave up. They pulled the opponent team, using all of their energy to make them swim in the mud. Soon, one group finally won and made their opponent team swim in the muddy puddles.
Everyone couldn't settle down from excitement when another team dove into the mud, but the Shen Group and Davies Group remained standing, though they struggled to win this round.
James is pulling the rope with all of his strength. He kept shouting to the knights behind him. "Heave, ho!"
"Heave, ho!"
"You guys pull harder!" James got to live on his stance as the team leader today. "Tsk! I will beat your asses if you do not pull harder!"
James took this opportunity to act bossy with the other knights, and he kept ordering them to pull harder.
Not long, the four teams that will compete in the second round finally.
"Congratulations to the four teams!" Tim announced.
"Look at that! Our big bosses have no plan to lose!" Nancy praised the Davies Group executives. James and Pitt went crazier and once again, showing off their muscles to the crowd.
Of course. The girls shrieked. Then the next round was announced.
"Alright! In our next round, the team can be subbed by their co-workers!"
"How about us investors!" Someone shouted from the crowd.
"Omg! Captain Andre, show your body to us!" The secretaries were even enthusiastic about cheering after Andre made a suggestion.
Tim ran toward Hailee to ask her permission. Hailee took the microphone and spoke. "Does everyone agree the investors can join the team?"
"Yes!" And everyone agreed, and they wanted to see the other big bosses join in the fun.
Now that it was approved, Andre and Alex joined the Davies Group Team, while at the Shen Group, Rodney and Carl moved forward.
"Hey, Rodney! Don't you have an investment in Shen Group?" James taunts Rodney. "This guy isn't qualified to join!"
Rodney sneered at James. He scoffed. "I am representing Zaijan's place! Besides, I have an investment in Vincent's yacht's business! It is still under Shen Group management!"
Vincent glanced at Zaijan, who met his gaze and shrugged a shoulder. Both men were rendered speechless. Rodney is absolutely a thick skin guy, and he isn't talking to Zaijan yet, but here he is, using Zaijan for his fun.
Soon, Vincent hooked his mouth into a smirk. "This guy could not live without you."
"Hmm…" Zaijan has no say. Indeed, this guy becomes his little brother.
He was present when Rodney was born, and he even held him. They were on the way to the hospital, but his aunt couldn't hold anymore.
Fortunately, Zaijan's father is a doctor, and he has enough knowledge to attend to his sister-in-law with the help of his wife. Zaijan was there, witnessing all the happenings inside the black van.
Now, Rodney still raises a cold war between them. 'He is just too shameless.' Zaijan thought to himself. He looks at Fraine, who is silently seated at the next table with the DV Gem ladies.
Fraine felt a warm gaze, looking at her. When she glanced in that direction, she caught Zayn staring at her. She quickly withdrew her gaze and ignored him. She doesn't want to entangle her life with any of them, and her life would be peaceful. She was here because of Hailee's wedding, and so she just ignored if Zayn and Rodney's mothers were casting dark glares at her.
Fraine heaved a silent sigh and thought inwardly, 'Can you tie your sons around your waists instead of blaming me, whatever?'
She doesn't want to get involved in the Lopezes. However, these mothers accuse her of being a witch as Zaijan and Rodney didn't want to leave her alone but kept pestering her life.
Fraine shrugged the thought and watched the teams, who are now ready to begin the game in the next round. The crowd went wild in cheering the team they were betting on.
Meanwhile, James and Rodney have not finished bantering at each other. Pitt and Carl step in and grab the annoying men that are behaving childishly.
Carl places Rodney in the front while Pitt and James step on the side to give way to their substitute.
"I will join the team in this round!" James announced, but he could not walk forward when Pitt grabbed him by the neck.
"Save your energy in the final round! We're going to beat the Shen Group," said Pitt to James. The guy now settled down. Instead, James grinned at the thought of beating Vincent's ass.
On the other side, Hailee was praising Vincent gleefully.
"Hubby, you are great! I will give you a special reward on our honeymoon if you beat my knights."
Hailee's knights dropped their jaws.
Pitt and James sneered at Vincent while the other knights threw dagger looks at him. However, Vincent responds to them with a wide grin on his face to provoke them even more.
"Tsk!" They could only clench their jaws and rants inside their hearts.

Now the four teams are ready, Tim gives a signal to begin the game. The losing team swam in the mud while the winners celebrated to reach the final round.
And as everyone's predicted, the Shen Group and the Davies Group will fight for the winner of Tug and War.
"Good luck, guys!"
Sheena and Deana cheered for their company. It's the final round, and Deana's husband, Wallace, will join the final round.
Also, Tyler, who just waited for the Shen Group to win the second round, to play for the final game. The Lopez Steel Corporation is directly working for the Shen Group, and he remarked he was qualified to join the team.
So, the Shen Group is now formed by Vincent, Rodney, Carl, Tyler, Rick, Elijah, Jessa's husband, and Jake, who is the new appointment at Shen Group in its International Affairs. The other four are from Shen Group construction workers and the twelfth person to complete the team, and the knights were shocked.
"You, traitor!" James accused the guy.
"Hansen Park, what are you doing there? You are just a business partner of Lopez Tech, not the Shen Group!" Pitt shrieked at his cousin, though it was just a drama, typical of them both to do.
Hansen only smirked and replied boastfully, "But my future father-in-law has a big share in Shen Group. I should take responsibility."
The knights scoffed at his answer, while Janise was too pleased. She runs toward Hansen and places a smacking kiss on his lips.
Hansen snickered at them and said, "That's my good luck kiss."
Pitt and James wanted to throw a stone at his face for showing off. Sadly, five of the Davies Group team are single because Tom, Alex, Andre, and Leo have girlfriends, while Kristian, Keith, and Lester have wives.
The five singles are Geoffrey, Bryan, Pitt, James, and Chester.
"Alright, team, settle down!"
As he was the host of the game, Tim took the opportunity to nag these bosses.
"Are you ready? Say, we are ready!"
"We are ready!" They responded enthusiastically, and in fact, they were trying to ridicule the opposing team.
Tim grinned inside his head. He can actually make fun of these men, but he would not dare. He could not afford to lose his job. But thinking that he has the lady boss' backing, maybe he can do that after all.
"Hold the rope, please. Position! Ready…. Set…. Pull!"
"Heave, ho! Heave, ho!" Everyone cheered. "Pull! Pull!"
The two teams have no plans to lose. Everyone is eager to know who will win from these big bosses.
Vincent, who was in the front, took a big step backward. James and the rest had struggled to hold their stance.
"Hold it!" James is three feet away from the muddy puddles.
The girls shrieked on top of their lungs, and they were squealing louder. All the workers from the other construction firm were also cheering loudly.
Jacob was too happy. He was very proud that his daughter came up with this idea. It was a very entertaining game, especially with the big bosses playing.
But later on, everyone was surprised when something had happened.
Now, they don't know what will happen next, and they are asking the same question in their minds.
"Who wins?"
