Winnie dressed up in branded clothes, giving her an entirely different image from when she was a full-time housewife. She smiled and said, “Of course. The chairman will be here soon.” “Oh!” The executives were delighted. They respected and were grateful for the mysterious chairman who brought them back to rebuild Shangrila Group. Surprised, Megan straightened her body. Compared to her current position, she preferred to be the chairman’s assistant, that was if she could get the chairman’s attention. It was the fastest way to rise in the ranks. She glanced at all the other executives and no one was as young and beautiful as she was, so she believed she would stand out. More than a hundred pairs of eager eyes were glued to the door behind Winnie. The chairman’s office was an independent space and it was connected directly to the meeting room via a personal passage. The chairman would surely enter from that door. Creek! Under everyone’s anticipated gaze, the door
Winnie’s words and actions shocked everyone in the meeting room like a bolt of lightning. Everyone in the meeting room was petrified. “W-What? This retard is the chairman?!” “The chairman’s name is Jesse White!” Megan, Gino, and the other executives who attended the birthday event last night were shocked and aggrieved. They did not hold back in humiliating Kaze last night. If Kaze was the real Jesse White, then none of them could escape the responsibility. “Jesse White is just an alias the chairman uses. He used another identity as a cover to avoid those who hurt James and Shangrila Group so that he could announce the return of the company with a bang,” Winnie explained. Winne’s explanation crushed everyone’s hope. “No!” Megan’s mind went blank. Her delicate face turned pale as paper. Gino got so agitated and worked up that his face turned a deep shade of crimson. The pressure overwhelmed him. He felt a rushing stream and a salty taste in his throat. Splat! Bl
Following Kaze’s announcement, Megan and the others were devastated. “Argh! I just bought a Cayenne! How am I going to pay for it now that I lose my job?!” Cries and wails echoed across the meeting room. “Get them all out of here!” Kaze mercilessly fired Megan and the others. A few minutes later, more than twenty executives were thrown out of the office building with all the employees watching. They were thrown in front of the square where the stage was built for tomorrow’s renaming ceremony. This time, it was Megan and the executives’ turn to be looked at strangely. “No! I will accept this! We are the ones in charge of Shangrila Group!” Megan shouted in frustration. The others looked at her as if she was an idiot. They shared the same feeling but there was nothing they could do. Kaze was the chairman of Shangrila Group and they could do nothing to stop him from firing them. Megan said viciously, “Listen to me. Kaze Lee used the alias of Jesse White to trick us an
“What the fuck! You, get out of the truck!” “Get out!” Gino and the others disregarded their messy state and ran over to the two trucks that splashed water and putty powder on them. They shouted at the drivers and urged them to come down. The drivers came down from the trucks and were surrounded by a bunch of people in sticky putty powder. “What the fuck is wrong with you? Did Kaze Lee tell you to get back to us?!” Gino shouted. “What Kaze Lee? Who is that?” The drivers shrugged and giggled, looking frivolous. Their attitude made Gino and the others even more angry. “Hmph! Look at what you’ve done! How can you laugh?!” “These two must be faking it! It must be Kaze! Or else why would a truck carrying putty powder come here?” “I don’t care if it’s Kaze Lee or not! I’ll make him pay for what he has done! He must kneel and apologize!” Megan pointed at the two drivers and shouted, “We are business elites and you two are just stupid drivers! How dare you do this to us!
“First of all, Sophie will be the chairman’s assistant, taking over Megan's duties in the HR department.” Kaze’s words sparked a debate among the executives. Sophie might be a long-time employee of Shangrila Group but she used to be a team leader in the HR department, yet she was promoted to chairman’s assistant. A nameless employee rose in the ranks and became the chairman’s assistant. It was a huge leap in her career! With her new position, it was not surprising that she could also be the new HR director. The chairman’s assistant was considered a high-ranking position in the company, so it was normal for her to also take up the HR director’s position. Kaze admired Sophie’s righteous and strong personality, but since she was still young, making her COO or CFO of the company might spoil her. All the other executives shot a jealous gaze at Sophie but no one dared to question the chairman’s order. It was all because of Megan and the others. Kaze fired all of them in the
When Kaze told Koga to recruit the veterans of the Garo Spec Ops Team to protect the Whites at Springvile District, there were many names on the list of veterans. However, Kaze only needed four to guard the mansion back then. Koga was thrilled to receive the order from Kaze because it would help a lot of veterans find a new path in life. Shangrila Group was a big company and the chairman was Kaze. The veterans would be handsomely paid and it would be better than working with other companies. Koga treated the veterans like his brothers. Now that Kaze had job arrangements for his brothers, Koga was more than just grateful. “Yes, sir! I will arrange for it right away!” Koga nodded happily. “It’s settled.” Kaze waved his phone at Winnie. One phone call and Kaze could get veterans from the Garo Spec Ops Team. Winnie was once again in awe of Kaze’s connection. The mysterious halo that he had on him grew stronger instead of dimmer after he revealed his identity to the compan
Snow had prepared a list of guests to invite to the renaming ceremony. Around 9:30 AM, almost all the guests had arrived at the scene. “Bernard Vikrom and Peter Logman? The heads of the first-tier families came in person!” “That’s Nick Guard, the chairman of the local government financing platform! That’s the CEO of Heavensward Group, Bruno Bandino!” “The Orange Group and Far Vision from the capital…” The reporters bombarded the guests with their flashlights on their cameras. High up in the chairman’s office, Winnie teared up as she looked at the grand and unprecedented scene. She wiped her tears away and asked, “Mr. Chairman, you are not going to attend the ceremony? They are all here for you. Why don’t you let the entire city know that you are not the useless son-in-law of the Quints?” Winnie joined Shangrila Group because Snow called her. From the moment she found out Kaze was Jesse White, she knew the man was the chairman of Perfect World Group and the one respons
As the group of young men marched toward the stage, multiple drones hovered above it, capturing the scene from different angles live. Meanwhile in Jade Estate, the heads of the top three families were watching the live broadcast on the massive screen while enjoying tea. “Belarus, we sent that many men over to the ceremony to cause trouble. If Jesse White contacted the police or the military, wouldn’t those men be used against us?” Edward asked when the men appeared on the screen. Belarus arranged for the men to thrash the ceremony alone and he only informed the other two afterwards. If it was against someone else, two hundred men would certainly work effectively. Most of the people would be scared and frightened by the sheer number of men. However, they were going up against Jesse White who was deeply connected with the military. Martin Renslayer of the Lilyrose Strategic Department Logistic Division was someone the top three families tried to flatter but he was relieved of
