After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 333 A Surprising Turn of Event

"The bad news is I'm appointed as the chief administrative officer in the River Town." Oscar told her.

Hearing that, Hannah totally froze. It meant that Oscar would be sent to another city. It was called a promotion, but the result was that Oscar would be sent to a faraway place. It sounded like a relegation. They were giving Oscar a hard time, weren't they?

She had a guess that Charles must be plotting something big before. It was unlikely that Charles would easily let Oscar get what he wanted. This man just had an average ability, but he was frighteningly sinister.

"Are you mad?" Oscar asked. He tried to please her.

"I knew you'll be annoyed, so I told you this in advance before it is officially announced. Otherwise, I'm worried that you'll be too angry and make your period last a longer time." Oscar was joking. He had already been schemed against like this, but he was still in the mood to joke.

Hannah did not know what to say. But she felt it not right to lose her temper at Oscar at this moment. After all, it was not his fault. On the contrary, he was the victim.

She tried her best to calm herself down and said, "It's not your fault. Charles's too cunning."

"Indeed. He's too insidious." Oscar couldn't agree more. There was neither anger nor displeasure in his tone of voice. He was just stating a fact.

Hannah admired Oscar's attitude. If it were her, she would have been mad.

"When will you leave?" Hannah asked. She did not want to quarrel with Oscar over this matter, so she was also trying to relax herself.

"A week later. I applied for it." Oscar said with a smile, "After all, I want to enjoy the agreed bonus before I leave."

Hannah was not sure if she should be glad that she could at least give Oscar some comfort. After all, in her eyes, compared with his career, what Oscar expected more was to consummate their marriage. Hannah even doubted if she had become a siren. In the former life, Oscar was very devoted to his work in the later stages. But he was obsessed with love in this life.

"I'm not going to disturb your work anymore. See you tonight." There was still a smile in Oscar's tone of voice.

Hannah didn't know if this smile was forced by him. She answered, "See you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Hannah could not pretend anymore. She almost exploded with rage. She cursed Charles for being a despicable guy. She was angrier than having been dealt with by Charles! In her eyes, Oscar risked his life to get the promotion, but ended up being tricked by Charles like this. In no way could she swallow this irritation.

In a blink, she thought of the redevelopment of the South Bay New Town.

She must let Charles and his family have it!

Half an hour later, the news that Oscar was appointed chief administrative officer was reported and then was soon on the top search. Everyone agreed with his promotion, saying that he deserved it. The public also said that Oscar was the kind of talent people in the country needed, both talented and patriotic. A short time after the news was released, the entire internet was full of congratulations to Oscar.

No one noticed that the workplace written on the official appointment letter issued by the City Hall was not in Kensbury City, but in the River Town, a relatively poor city. And it took a five-hour flight from Kensbury City and four-hour flight from the capital. In short, it was a distant city. For Hannah, it was rather far away.

In Hannah's entire life, plus the extra ten years she had lived in her previous life, she had never been to the River Town. She even had no idea what it was like. She did not know if the eating habits of that place were the same as that of Kensbury City. She was worried about whether Oscar could get used to the life there alone.

Hannah read the news, feeling very furious.

The whole internet was congratulating Oscar, while she just wanted to kill Charles. Whenever she thought of Oscar's "forced smile", she felt inexplicably and unspeakably terrible.

She read the news for one more while. When she was about to put down her phone and went back to work, a piece of news suddenly popped up.

It read "Does Oscar get a promotion or will he be sent to the borderland?"

Hannah paused for a moment. For a second, she thought that she had lost her good judgment because of anger before.

She had completely forgotten that Oscar was in the limelight recently and that they could take advantage of it to resist. She hit herself on the head, thinking that she had lost her head due to anger. She hurriedly clicked on the news and read the content.

The general idea of the news was that Oscar was promoted to be a senior official through his own strength and the support of the entire country. It was originally thought to be the recognition of the City Hall and an encouragement to members of the aristocratic families to be like him. Unexpectedly, such a role model would be sent to the poorest city in Northfield when he received the credit. It remained a question whether the City Hall was trying to train Oscar or to waste his talent. If their intention was to let Oscar gain some experience, they should give him a time limit, instead of directly sending a promising talent over just like this, leaving us wondering where the future of the talents we were looking forward to was!

Soon after the news was released, it caused a heated discussion and quite a stir. The public had been congratulating Oscar before. At this moment, this sudden news incurred a profound fear in their heart. As everyone could see, Oscar did get promoted, even rising through two ranks. However, he did not get any benefits from the promotion. On the contrary, he lost the opportunity to seek a development in Kensbury City because of the promotion. How could this be considered a promotion? It was actually a disguised demotion.

Soon, it incurred a wave of public opinion on the Internet.

At the beginning, the City Hall was questioned. Then, some people said that someone was deliberately dealing with Oscar. Finally, it was directly pointed out that Charles was the culprit. Someone said Charles kicked others while others were down and blamed Charles for being despicable.

Someone said Charles pretended to be a good person and quit on his own, but he secretly played tricks and dealt with Oscar. There were even people who said that Charles had a strong backer in the City Hall. Therefore, though he did not rank first in the civil service exam, the treatment he received was different from the others.

The whole internet even required Charles to give a clear reply. Besides, the public requested that an explanation must be given to Oscar.

A news about Oscar's appointment turned into an online war. No one wanted Oscar to end up like this. It was impossible to be accepted. People urged that an explanation must be made. Otherwise, a terrible scene would be made in the City Hall.

The City Hall held on for only four hours. Then, it took immediate action on the public relations crisis.

The first leader of the City Hall made a face-to-face explanation to the media, "We did make the arrangements for Oscar after careful consideration by all of us in the City Hall. We're not going to send Oscar to the borderland like the people said on the internet. It's impossible for a talent like him to be sent to the borderland. We'll cherish an elite like him. As for why Oscar is sent to the River Town, it's just like what some have speculated. It's to train him. Letting him go to a faraway place to work will be more helpful to his future development. Of course, these details were not written in the appointment letter, so it misled the public. We're sorry for it. I hereby make a promise in front of the whole country. In principle, Oscar's work in the River Town will not exceed half a year. He will be transferred back to Kensbury City based on his performance and achievements in half a year."
