Upon hearing this, Jillian Larkin's anger flared instantly."Nella, whose side are you on? Everyone here wants justice for me, and you're over here defending a lowly staff member?"The shy girl, Nella, stammered, "I'm sorry, Jillian, but I think there might be a misunderstanding. He doesn't seem like a bad person to me. I'm just saying what I saw. I'm not taking any sides."Frederick felt a mix of emotions. It seemed there were still some good people among these livestreamers. Not all of them were blindly following the crowd or acting high and mighty.Jillian's anger boiled over. "Are you out of your mind? He walked into my changing room—there's no way that's a misunderstanding! What are you hoping to gain by defending a low-level employee? Are you attracted to his pretty face? Once we become top livestreamers, we can have whatever we want! You could keep seven or eight pretty boys in a month! You don't need to be this desperate, do you?"Her words elicited a burst of laughter f
"So you've all been busy currying favor with her just to get through the interview?"Frederick's heart skipped a beat as a surge of inexplicable anger welled up inside him.Connections were a part of life everywhere, especially in Drakonia, where social dynamics were unavoidable. But to think that, only a few months after the company's establishment, such connections had already begun to be utilized? And Jasmine, the person in charge, was allowing this? Bringing in a group of unprofessional female livestreamers for interviews was one thing, but having a well-connected individual slip through the cracks? And right under his nose, at that?!"What does that have to do with you?" one of the women sneered. "You're just a nameless employee who's envious of someone with connections."They pointed and mocked him."Better get going. If Jillian gets upset and tells her sugar daddy, you'll be out of here tomorrow!"Faced with their ridicule, Frederick only smiled. To him, these wome
"Hurry up and get to the interview room! Don't keep the HR deputy manager waiting!"At those words, everyone snapped back to reality and hurriedly tidied their appearance."Hmph! You'll see how things turn out soon enough!"Jillian was unusually anxious, and she quickly turned and left to change her clothes.As soon as she was out of sight, several people gathered around Nella, exchanging words."Nella, how could you confront Jillian like that? She looked really angry! Your chances in this interview are probably ruined!""Do you know that Vice Mr. Griffin from HR is Jillian's patron? Normally, an ordinary HR person would handle these interviews. There's no need for a department head to be present!""It's obvious this is just to support Jillian and boost her image!"Hearing this, Nella felt a pang of discouragement. However, she remained resolute."No matter what, I can't demean myself before that woman. I'd rather forfeit this job!"The others looked disappointed. "Suit yours
Upon seeing Frederick, everyone's composure instantly shattered, and the room erupted into chaos."It's him!"Nella was also taken aback. So when Frederick said he would see her soon, he meant he would be the interviewer!Jillian, dumbfounded, shouted, "Are you kidding me? This small-time employee who was spying on us changing clothes is the interviewer? Do you think the higher-ups at Aerowind Enterprise are fools?"Willard had a gloomy expression as he said, "Are you a newcomer? As far as I remember, we don't have anyone like you in the company. Besides, I didn't receive any notice about a change in interviewers."Jillian sneered, "So, you're lying! That's an additional offense! You scared me half to death! Even Mr. Griffin didn't know about this! Turns out, you're just a self-appointed interviewer!"The crowd began to berate Frederick."Are you crazy? We're already nervous about the interview, and now, you're pretending to be the interviewer and harassing us!""If Mr. Griffin
"Don't worry about it, Carol. Just stay on the side and observe. I'll handle the rest," Frederick said with a faint smile.At that moment, the room fell into stunned silence. Everyone stared in shock. No one knew what was happening. The human resources department manager was calling the newcomer "Mr. Lester"? Who was he?Willard was equally baffled, and asked, "Ms. Lambert, who is this person?"Before Carol could respond, Frederick cut in, "Willard, you're fired. Pack your things and leave."Willard stared in disbelief. "You're firing me? Are you kidding? Do you think you're Ms. Smith? Besides, I'm Ms. Lambert's subordinate! I'm not someone you can fire on a whim!"Carol immediately interjected, "Willard, didn't you hear what Mr. Lester said? You're fired. Get out!"Willard was stunned, his mouth hanging open in shock. Carol had always had a good relationship with him—how could she turn on him so suddenly? There was no leniency at all!Had they secretly conspired against him
“I'm giving you one minute to get out of the company,” Carol added coldly, her eyes filled with indifference.Willard was somewhat intelligent in his usual dealings, but he had foolishly chosen to confront Frederick, the company's general manager. He had brought this upon himself!She could no longer protect him, and had to sacrifice him to save herself.Willard was so terrified that he couldn’t even stand.However, Jillian wasn’t ready to give up, and countered, “The owner of your company just watched me change in the dressing room! I can’t guarantee I won’t say something after leaving!”Carol’s face flushed with anger. “What are you trying to say? Are you slandering Mr. Lester or threatening us?”Jillian scoffed. “It depends on how your company deals with this! Either give me hush money, or hire me as a livestreamer with a base salary of no less than twenty thousand and a 15% commission!”Carol was infuriated but managed a mocking laugh. “How bold of you! Do you really think
“Heh! What a childish trick!”Frederick tossed the notes into the trash can without a second thought.Jasmine said teasingly from behind him, “You threw them away so decisively? You wouldn’t be picking it up again as soon as I leave, would you?”Frederick shrugged. “You’ve reminded me of something.”He turned around, retrieved the item from the trash can, and handed it to Carol. “Based on the names listed, either conduct interviews or terminate their employment according to the HR department’s guidelines.”Carol nodded vigorously. “Understood, sir.”She promptly turned around and left.Jasmine was taken aback and exclaimed, “You’re really ruthless… How many people have you fired today?”She couldn’t help but feel a bit inferior to Frederick’s iron-fisted methods.Frederick replied nonchalantly, “As the saying goes, ‘Treat not the already sick but the unwell before they become ill.’ If we don’t remove these tumors now, they will eventually become festering problems.”Jasmine n
"The Nine Great Ascension Clans have even issued the highest-level bounty! A hundred million for Sheldon's head!"Frederick's eyes widened in shock. "So Sheldon has become everyone's target now?"Jasmine pouted. "He's practically a walking money printer! What do you think?"Frederick shook his head in disbelief. "This is absurd! I have to find out who the real killer is!"If Sheldon's safety was in jeopardy, it would inevitably affect him as well. After all, the Nine Great Ascension Clans knew that he had rescued Sheldon. Following the trail could lead them straight to him.Jasmine asked, "Aren't you staying here?""Urgent matters take precedence! We'll continue next time!"Frederick pinched her nose playfully, then gave her collar a gentle tug and patted her backside with a mischievous grin. "I'm going now!"Jasmine, exasperated, delivered a swift kick to Frederick's leg. "Pervert! Get out of here!"Frederick chuckled as he stepped out of the company, only to find Nella wai
