As Peter Brown looked over the conversation between the two, he suddenly noticed something new: It seemed as though Edward Ford's position was at risk according to the deputy general manager's words.
The headquarters were about to make a move against Edward Ford!
Seeing this situation, Peter Brown started to worry. His uncle had definitely relied on Edward Ford for his career development, and his own good fortune was a result of Edward Ford's help. Now that he was also being helped by Edward Ford, what would happen to him if Edward Ford were to fall? Would he be one of the personnel to be laid off?
Although Peter wasn't concerned about being laid off, being laid off would firstly displease his uncle and secondly, would damage the image of a strong person that he had; he simply couldn't ignore this matter.
