Chelsea's face paled. She was so scared that she just closed her eyes.Fortunately, Henry was there. With a cold snort, he stepped forward and casually broke the hands of several security guards.They screamed in pain and collapsed to the ground, looking agonized. Even though their legs were not broken, they were unable to crawl.Everyone was stunned. They did not expect Henry, who appeared delicate, to be so skilled.Chelsea opened her eyes in surprise. She was confused about what had happened.Howie's expression changed. He said angrily, "No wonder you're so cocky. So you know martial arts, huh? But do you think you can do whatever you want here? I'm calling the police now."Meanwhile, Hazel said, "Mr. Bass, the new CEO is arriving soon—""So what?" Howie ignored Hazel's reminder and made the call.Hazel was helpless. After all, Howie had a close relationship with Leonard. Otherwise, he would not be in charge of such an important department.She could not afford to offend hi
Everyone was shocked by Hazel's words; no one could ever believe what they just witnessed. No one could imagine that the young man, who looked very delicate, was the company's new CEO.Howie's heart sank as he saw Hazel's expression. His legs went weak, and he almost knelt.He was over!"Mr. Truman, I—" Howie stuttered."Do you still want me to leave?" Henry said coldly."No, no, Mr. Truman! It was a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were the CEO. Please spare me a chance," Howie pleaded."Do you mean you can act recklessly if you didn't know I was the CEO?" Henry retorted."No, I—""Enough, I don't have time for your nonsense. Do you want to leave on your own, or do you want me to kick you out?" Henry could not be bothered to deal with him.Howie's face changed drastically, a flash of cruelty in his eyes. He shouted, "It was indeed my fault just now, Mr. Truman. But I've made significant contributions to the company. Isn't that too heartless to kick me out because I offende
"Understood!" Hazel responded promptly with respect; she also needed to report the situation to Leonard."Go now. Remember, everyone in the company must be present in ten minutes or miss it at their own risk," Henry said coldly."Understood!" Hazel and Howie responded.Once they left, Nickie finally snapped back to her senses. She looked at Henry with shock and embarrassment. She had always looked down on him and never believed his words. It turned out he was the new CEO.She felt awkward and said cautiously, "Mr. Truman, what I said earlier was—""Forget about it. Just do your job well in the future," Henry said.Even though Nickie had been rude and disrespectful to him multiple times, she was competent. Henry decided to tolerate her attitude for the time being, but she was off the table for any promotions; he planned to replace Howie with Zoey."Yes, sir," Nickie responded meekly, losing her previous arrogance. She glanced at Chelsea and smiled bitterly.'Chelsea had a good e
Even Chelsea had been scolded by Nickie many times. However, since she was the only one who received guidance and protection from Nickie, she felt grateful to her.The company had multiple design director positions. As long as someone had enough management ability and design skills, the company would give them a chance. However, Zoey had been held back because she offended Howie.Zoey was stunned but excited. She said, "Of course, I'm willing to do so, Mr. Truman. I'm confident I can do well as a design director."Then, she hesitated. "But...""But what?" Henry asked.Zoey hesitated because she was unsure of how to express her concern, but she finally said, "I'm afraid it might affect your management later."Henry understood immediately and smiled. He said, "I get what you mean. Don't worry. No one will be able to stop me from doing anything after today."Everyone was shocked, including Nickie. They wondered what Henry meant. How could he deal with all the threats at once?Befo
Everyone's expression had changed as they heard the conversation between Henry and Leonard, who was known to be very prideful and domineering, far more so than Howie. Henry was bold to confront him directly.Leonard's face slightly darkened as expected, and his expression turned a little sinister.'You've overestimated yourself. I'm going to crush you easily if you can't even handle Howie,' Leonard thought.Leonard suppressed his dissatisfaction, smiled, and explained, "I was late because I got a call from a friend from the provincial office, a high-ranking officer."I would've hung up if that's anyone else, but I couldn't offend this person; he could've wiped out our group easily."His words were a veiled threat. Henry chuckled and said, "I see, that does sound important.""Exactly," Leonard replied, feeling triumphant. He thought he had scared Henry, who he believed was clueless and overconfident."Mr. Truman, this way," Leonard said as he led Henry to the hall."Are you hold
Henry was surprised and asked, "That idiot's still around?""What did you say?" Lydia was taken aback."Nothing. What time is the lunch appointment?" Henry asked."It's at 11:30 a.m., at the Four Seasons Restaurant.""That's so early. Anyway, thanks for letting me know. You can go ahead; I've got some things to handle here. I'll see you later." Then, Henry hung up.Lydia was stunned, wondering what Henry meant by that. He must be crazy to show up, which would definitely anger Eric, and he had no way to handle it without showing up.John and Jennifer had made it clear that her failure to comply would cause a significant fallout and might even harm the Millers.However, she could not be bothered about it. She could only hope Henry had a plan.He always seemed reckless, but he always came out unscathed.It was already 10:00 a.m. Henry had to hurry up if he wanted to arrive at the Four Seasons Restaurant on time. After all, it was quite some distance away.He quickly grabbed a fe
That announcement left everyone in the hall completely stunned. Even though Henry's voice was not particularly loud, everyone heard him clearly.Stuart was number two in the sales department and was suddenly promoted to Vice President. Henry said he would manage the entire group's operations on his behalf, which was practically the role of the CEO.It felt incredibly surreal.Nickie was also taken aback. She had expected Henry might make some bold moves after the earlier incident, but she had not anticipated anything that drastic. It was a direct challenge to the core senior management of the entire group.Zoey smiled bitterly in secret. She recalled what Henry had said earlier. She thought he might only be making grand statements, as implementing such changes seemed too unrealistic. However, after listening to his announcement, she realized Henry was serious about his plans.Everyone else, including Stuart, was equally stunned.Stuart had even planned to leave the company to joi
"Good, that's all I need to hear," Henry said firmly."Your position is set with immediate effect. You are the new Vice CEO.""Wait a minute!" Leonard could not hold back any longer."Mr. Truman, you just joined the company. You don't understand the situation here. Isn't it too rash to appoint a new Vice CEO so quickly? Shouldn't we all sit down and vote on it?""No need," Henry replied."My boss fully owns this group and has granted me complete authorization to manage the company."Leonard's face turned ashen with anger, and said, "How can you act so autocratically? Aren't you afraid of ruining the company? Who would want to work under you?""If anyone here is unwilling to work under my leadership, please step forward."They saw Henry's cold and authoritative demeanor; it was clear that he meant business."Me!" Howie stepped up, thinking it was his turn to show off. He had managed to dominate Henry earlier and felt it was time to regain his influence. He remembered how Henry
