LOGINAs the managing director of two well-functioning companies, Marion also had bank power of attorney and therefore full access to company funds. It is impossible to imagine if something would go wrong. Seen that way, he said to himself, you have to be interested in that too. Though it was not his intention at all to snoop around Marion's personal life.
On the other hand, something must have gone really wrong with her, he told himself, because if someone is constantly broke,
Harry returned to the office, settled the matter with Gutenbrunn straight away, to whom he faxed the documents and thought to himself, it works and he'll get better prices, the old rascal, it's another advantage. If it doesn't work out, that's fine with me, I have my sheep, in any case on dry land.Then he looked through the mail, the loan documents for the purchase of the post office were also included, even the agreed rate of interest was right. He was almost satisfied, the positive aspects were almost in balance with the negative. It had become a declared goal for him to finish each working day positively, but unfortunately it was far too rarely successful.In a quiet minute he wondered where you can get a capable secretary from now? Someone who knows what he wants, who can also be fully trusted. A person who keeps all the odds and ends off your neck.Maybe it also looks very good. He hadn't the slightest desire to have to work wit
But Robert refused to take part and insisted that the hotel was fully booked. Which, according to their information, would not be the case at the scheduled date. Heavens ass and thread, thought Harry, now you are also involved in very mundane problems.Because since Mei Lung has been in Salzburg, the good Robert is constantly going crazy and constantly torpedoing any of our actions. Harry knew about the project that Josephine was enthusiastically participating in and so far such tours had always been very successful due to the good organization that she put on the day.Because it was agreed that the guests were invited to the house. And of course it was obvious, if only for cost reasons, that the overnight stays should be booked in their own luxury hotel. Josephine was not only the manager of the Pizza-Pasta & Co. model company.She also felt like the host, organized the supporting program, the visits,
Okay, said the management consultant, in 14 days, right after the completed tour of Germany, we will start in Switzerland right away. You haven't thought of France, the Benelux countries, and not to forget the Scandinavian region? Not to mention the USA, Canada, the Soviet Union and China, Harry joked immediately.Yes, laughed the man on the receiver, but I didn't want to fall into the house like that, especially since I still have fond memories of her hesitant demeanor. All right, said Harry, add Switzerland for the time being, then we'll see. Well, I'll get back to you soon and I think you won't regret your decision, he heard until the dial tone sounded again.Harry wasn't that comfortable inside, but he had gained confidence by now. But deep down, the whole thing was actually going too fast for him, somehow too easy.This impetuous advance reminded him in some way, of the so-called "lightning victories" at the time an
Six months later, the final breakthrough came not so completely unexpected for Harry, which he always strived for so vehemently and then finally initiated. After he had given himself the powerful intellectual kick in the very bottom. The fresh pizza delivery business had now become an absolute hit.There was almost no bigger place in the country, on the map, where there was no such thing as “Pizza, Pasta & Co.” and you couldn't order around the clock. Thanks to the professional help of the management consultant. Who, together with a well-known advertising agency, took the project under his wing and created a corporate concept in no time at all.All Harry needed to do was shell out the money and attend a few meetings, the rest of which the professionals would take care of. The business was marketed as a franchise system, where he had the idea before, but for some reason got stuck with it again and again.W
Harry's interest was aroused and he immediately agreed, he also carefully asked whether Suzie Wang might not be there too, he always wanted to talk to her about the facilities in the pizzerias, so he could kill two birds with one stone. ..With a laugh, Mei Lung replied that she would try to invite the little one over. They agreed to meet for the same evening, around 9 p.m. in the hotel restaurant. Harry then mobilized Josephine, who was working in the delivery area, and told her that they would have dinner together at the hotel.Which she was happy about, but had certain concerns about the wardrobe. Harry then talked her out of it, explaining that it was just a work lunch, with less emphasis on etiquette and that she didn't need to be ashamed.A little hesitantly, Josefine finally agreed.They met in a separate room, Mei Lung had an individual dinner served in several courses, which everyone enjoyed. For Harry it
Deep down he even felt complicit, because after all, he had known Marion's financial problems for a long time and always wanted to talk to her about them. But out of sheer convenience and perhaps also due to lack of time, he kept losing sight of the matter.The whole thing made him kind of sad and moved him deeply and he said to himself, what a crazy world. Chubby Petra gambled away huge sums in the casino, purely for her own personal pleasure and for a few hours of thrills. You run after the money and can't get enough of it, knock the old Derboven into the pan, who then immediately slams several million on the table without batting an eyelid.Out of sheer zeal, forgets that things have already been pretty dirty for you and on the other hand, a small human child is fighting for bare survival. Have to wait until a suitable bone marrow donor is found somewhere in the world. And until then, the mother has to struggle to pay for everything. And
