Christina had no qualms about poaching talent, and she lifted her chin proudly, âRight, it was me whoarranged the meeting. Want to know who I invited?â
She crossed her arms and laughed, âI invited your research bigshot N. I just texted him, and heâs veryinterested in joining Olsen Group. So, we planned to
have a chat here.â
Christinaâs plan was simple.
No matter if N finally came or not, or how the talks went, just telling Keera about it would plant a thornbetween her and N!
By then, even if N didnât come, Keera probably wouldnât trust him anymore.
In that case, N would have no choice but to come over
She thought she was so clever.
As Christina thought about this, she began to laugh. âKeera, you are so indifferent to N. Arenât you toocold? Besides, heâs so loyal to you. After you finally got
divorced, you didnât reciprocate and instead found a college student. Are you really being fair to him?â
Thinking she held a lot of powerful secrets, she looked down on Keira and accused her. âYou shouldcherish
your talents. You donât even disclose his name publicly, hogging all the credit to yourself and yourcompany. With such a big event today, you donât even give N a chance to show off himself. Arenât youbeing too
selfish?â
Keira didnât know what to say.
She furrowed her brows, exchanged a glance with Mary, and couldnât help but laugh.
Mary said, âChristina, Keera Companyâs affairs are none of your business, are they?â
Christina put on an act of concern. âI just canât st it. I think youâre oppressing those with talent toomuch. If youâre so afraid of talent being snatched a why donât you treat them better? Olsen Group isdifferent. We definitely provide better opportunities and a stage for talents.â
Keira remained silent.
She coughed and nodded. âRight. I see Olsen Groun
indeed good at poaching talents.â
âYouâ¦!â
Christina became furious. She pointed at Keera and scolded, âWhat are you talking about? Itâs allconsensual. Donât make it sound so ugly. But you wouldnât hold them back, would you?â
Keira was perplexed.
Christina immediately frowned. âDonât tell me. Youâre really planning on not letting him go? He could gofor labor arbitration. Olsen Group will help him pay the breach of contract fee! Keera, this is really toomuch. Itâs one thing for someone to work hard for you, but to not let them gain recognition? A companylike yours is simply heartless!â
While she was arguing, Victoria came over with a fe people.
Just in time to hear the end of the conversation,
Victoria sighed lightly and said, âMiss South, if what my sister says is true, I advise you to part on goodterms. Such a research talent has boundless prospects; they canât be confined by your small company.Itâs better to let him go now rather than have
unpleasantness laterâ¦â
The people who had followed were starting to believe that Keira was oppressing N. Hearing Victoriaâswords, they became indignant.
âYeah, Miss South, your company canât treat
researchers like that!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âSomeone like N should be the star today, and yet no
one knows who he is!â
âMaliciously suppressing employees is something you
can be sued for!â
Keira swept her gaze over the group and scoffed, âWho said Iâm maliciously suppressing myemployees?â
Christina argued in a wronged tone, âIf itâs not malicious suppression, then why doesnât he even hauthorship rights in the project report? Thereâs only code name. Surely it wasnât his choice to remain
anonymous?â
The employees from Olsen Group came today, many o whom were researchers, and they frownedupon hearing this.
Authorship rights were of great importance to them.
Being part of a project meant having oneâs name on it. If they truly were part of such a big project,theyâd want the whole world to know, rather than just being glossed over with a code name.
Joined together, they believed it even more possible that Keira might indeed be suppressing someone!
Thus, the crowd became increasingly righteous in their indignation. âRight, you canât suppresssomeone like that. How can you treat researchers this way?!â
âActually, if you really want to know whether thereâs suppression or not, why not just call N out, andweâll find out?â
âIs he here today? Heâs not even been invited to the
dinner, has he?â
âMy God, that would be so pitiful!â
âNo way! I canât stand this injustice! Miss Sou let N join this dinner!â
Mary, hearing all of this, rolled her eyes. âYou all babbling on and on here. Do you even understan realsituation? The way I see you now is just laughable!â
e
The crowd was perplexed.
Christina frowned, immediately responding to Maryâs comment. âHow can you speak like that? Iâll call Nright
now and let him come to explain everything to
everyone!â
No sooner had she finished speaking, Christina immediately took out her phone and dialed Nâs number.
The moment she made the call, Keiraâs phone rang.
