In reality, Nelson was really not joking about the matter.
After Nelson gave his orders, Richard left. A few minutes later, the staff member, who was sitting in the meeting room trembling in fear, received an email from the company on his mobile phone too.
Those who did not attend the meeting even after they were given a chance, were all issued a warning letter! Their salaries had been deducted in half.
There was also a reminder at the bottom of the email. Those who committed the same mistake in the future would be dismissed immediately!
Moreover, the only person who had attended the meeting was mentioned and praised in the email.
In the departments downstairs, those who were supposed to be involved in the meeting started to make a fuss.
âNelson, you are so ruthless. How dare you do this to us!â
âIf only I had known earlier, I would have attended the meeting with that coward just now! Iâm screwed! Half of my salary is gone. I canât even pay my rent!â
âWhat should we do now?â
âWhat else can we do? Letâs go up quickly! I donât want to be fired! A grown man like me cannot afford to look for a new job and start all over again!â
âUseless man!â the older employees who suggested everyone not to make a move cried out in dissatisfaction.
âIâm sure Nelson wouldnât dare to fire us all!â
Most of them, who had been headstrong in the beginning, had all given in.
âI think itâs hard to tell! Iâve never seen him this strict before. Who knows, maybe he wants to drag all of us down together with him. Forget it! My family needs my salary to survive! Iâd better go up now!â
After that, most of them went up.
Only a few were left standing there.
âIâd like to see what he can do to us.â
âThatâs right! We are all seniors who have been serving the company all this while. I donât believe that he will really terminate us!â
Before they continued discussing, the door was pushed open.
Then, the human resources manager, Kyle, came in.
âEveryone, Iâm sorry but I have some bad news. The few of you were not cooperative, and have gone against the companyâs regulations repeatedly. According to Mr. Lutherâs instructions, the few of you are now officially terminated with immediate effect. Please follow me to the HR department to complete the termination procedure.â
âWhat?!â The head of the group, Wilson Westin, widened his eyes. âThis is bullsh*t!â
He no longer cared about his image anymore and roared loudly.
He roared loudly, âWho does he think he is? Heâs just a petty little kid! He has only taken over the company for a few days, and now he wants to fire me? I donât believe it!â
Kyle scratched his head helplessly.
âPlease calm down. Thereâs no point in you making a fuss here. Youâd better come with me to complete the procedure!â
âWhat bullsh*t procedure are you talking about? Call Nelson over here right now! Iâd like to see if he has the balls to speak with me in person.â
As he finished ranting, Wilson took out his mobile phone and gave Monique a call.
âMiss Chilton, thereâs something I would like to report! Itâs about Nelson. He has fired us, the senior employees of the company without any valid reason. Miss Chilton, with a president like him, youâd better get rid of him as soon as possible! I am afraid that if this goes on, our company will be single-handedly ruined by him!â
After that, he simply slammed his phone on the table.
âIf Nelson does not come over right now, I wonât leave the company!â
The few others were initially scared when they saw that they were about to be fired. At that moment, they grew relieved to see that Wilson was so bold and fearless.
The few of them were extremely arrogant and egotistical. They were still expecting Nelson to apologize to them, so they could get away from the embarrassing situation!
Seeing that the few seniors were still being so arrogant, Kyle had no choice but to report the matter to Nelson.
As Richard heard about the situation, he frowned and whispered in Nelsonâs ear.
âIf they really reported it to Miss Chilton, thenâ¦â
Nelson snorted, âDonât care about them. I donât want a few unimportant people to interrupt our meeting. Letâs start our meeting first!â
Wilson and his friends had initially thought that Nelson would definitely show up to apologize, but he was nowhere to be seen even after they waited for a few hours.
The few of them began to lose their cool.
âNelson is such a b*stard. Heâs not even afraid of us! This situation canât go on like this!â one of them spoke.
Wilson was also angry, âAlright then! Since this is what Nelson wants, then he leaves me no choice!â
Next, he gave Monique another call.
âMiss Chilton, Mr. Luther has screwed up the company. He doesnât even care about us, the seniors of the company. You have to help us!â
Monique had originally planned to go and have a look. She admired Nelson, although he seemed to not know chalk from cheese.
However, as a woman like Monique, how could she possibly give in to Nelson so easily?
She thought that it was quite fun to continue playing the game of cat and mouse!
However, she was rather curious. She wanted to know how Nelson would handle such a big case that was happening in the company.
After she thought about it, she smiled.
âAlright. Iâve just arrived at the company. If you have any other problems, letâs talk about them when we meet later!â
Wilson was suddenly thrilled. After he put his phone down, his face was filled with pride.
âMiss Chilton is here. Letâs see if that d*mned Nelson will still dare to go against me. Iâve already said it! Heâs just a little b*stard. What else can he possibly do to me?â
After that, Wilson immediately rushed out of the office with fake tears and complained to Monique who had just arrived.
âMiss Chilton, youâre finally here. Iâve been working for you for more than ten years now. Iâve always worked hard, and treated this company as my own home. I never thought that my beloved home would one day abandon me. The new owner even wants to kick me out! My heart really hurts! Boohooâ¦â
Upon being faced with a grown man in his late forties crying in front of her, Monique could no longer stand it.
She frowned and asked softly, âWhere is Nelson?â
Wilson looked at the receptionist and said, âHey! What are you doing? Canât you see that Miss Monique is here? Ask Nelson to come down and welcome Miss Monique, right now!â
It was not until then that the receptionist finally came to her senses and immediately dialed the extension.
Nelson was in a meeting, so it was Richard who picked up the phone. After he hung up, he immediately whispered to Nelson.
After he hung up, he immediately whispered to Nelson, âMiss Chilton is here!â
Nelson simply replied, âOkay. Bring her to the small conference room downstairs.â
Then, he continued with the meeting as he had no intentions of stopping the meeting. After half an hour, the meeting had finally ended.
âThatâs all for today. Thank you!â
Nelson did not get up until everyone had left.
âLetâs go and meet them now.â
â¦
In the conference room, the few senior employees were pacing back and forth, slandering Nelson in front of Monique.
âThis is outrageous! I canât believe that he left Miss Chilton waiting here for so long. He is too arrogant! How can people like him even do their job well?â
âThatâs right! What a pompous man! Miss Chilton, I think you should fire him! The company deserves a better leader!â
Suddenly, the door was pushed open as Nelson walked in.
He looked at them indifferently, âThen, who do you think should manage the company? Can you do it?â
