The next day, Silas knocked on the CEO’s office door. He went in with Conrad’s permission.“Sir, there’s something that I need to report to you.” With that, he quickly glanced at his madam who was focusing on her designs.Conrad understood what he meant by that. “Inform the directors of each department to go to the meeting room and get ready for the meeting.”“Of course!”Only after Silas left did Fia look at Conrad with a smile. “I can’t listen to what Silas wanted to say to you?”Conrad smiled as he looked at the document on his computer screen. “You’re worried for nothing. I don’t have the time to listen to him right now. I’ll let him say it during the meeting.”“Then can I join the meeting?” Fia looked at him without blinking as she spun the pen in her hand.“Of course,” Conrad said without hesitation.Seeing how relaxed he was, Fia felt that she had indeed thought too much into it. She clicked her tongue and said, “It’s fine. Meetings are so boring. I should focus on my de
The members of higher management exchanged glances. While they wanted to do just that, they didn’t want to acknowledge it directly.“Forget about it!” Conrad suddenly changed his tone and said in a fierce manner, “No matter who it’s going to be, it’s not going to be you and your people! There are so many talents in the department and we’re not lacking talent!”“While there are plenty of staff in the department, they are all ordinary staff!”“Ha!” Conrad stared at the elder who spoke just now with cold eyes. “You’re almost sixty, aren’t you, Mr. Walker?”The elder looked at him, baffled.“You’re almost retired.” Conrad smiled with a sneer. “You already have one foot in the grave and yet you still scoff at the younger generation. Didn’t all of you here step up from being an ordinary staff in the past?!”Everyone was embarrassed and couldn’t say anything.The person that could prove that the younger generation had the boldness and ability to lead the company was Conrad himself!Al
The elders looked at her, all stunned. “Hello. How are all of you?”She walked out of the office, smiling, and had her back against the wall in the corridor with her arms crossing.“You… You eavesdropped on us!” Mr. Walker questioned her angrily and embarrassingly.Fia shrugged and said in a sheepish tone. “You speak so loudly outside of my husband’s office. Are you expecting to make myself deaf?”“…” The group of people was embarrassed. They knew that they were in the wrong.“Who were you complaining about just now? Something about a child?” However, Fia didn’t want to let it rest so easily.They exchanged glances and faked a laugh. “You got it wrong.”“We weren’t speaking about anyone in particular. We’re just talking about someone outside.”“Really, we weren’t talking about someone in the company.”“Really.” Fia pouted and then took out a phone from her pocket. “But I’ve recorded it just now. Maybe I should let my husband listen to it!”“How can you record our conversati
Fia then spoke in a stern tone as if her delicate face was covered with a thin layer of frost. “During the great reset, Grandpa Maxwell let you hold some shares out of his kindness, as a thank you for sticking with him through thick and thin. It was so that you don’t have to worry about your livelihood after you retire!“Secondly, it’s so that you’ll continue to stay loyal to the company and my husband! It’s not for you to be able to harass him!“But look at what you just said! You laughed at him… Said he’s nothing but a child?“The child in your words just now has grown Maxwell Corporation into something even bigger, and those little shares of yours have allowed you to earn more! You old, ungrateful bastards!”Tiger’s eyes grew even brighter. If it wasn’t because of his dry personality, he would have already cheered her on.“You… You…” The elders stroked their chests. Even Conrad had never yelled at them like that.“The reason my husband tolerates you is because you’ve fought fo
Silas then said sheepishly, “They have to, right? Their shares are now available to be bought out. After how the madam showed them the situation they’re in, they now have to keep their head down!”The two of them were already unhappy with the elders for a long time down. However, Conrad simply let them be out of the respect he had for his grandfather’s relationship with them! The madam had done very well this time and helped their boss deal with a major threat within the company!“Are you done?” Conrad said icily.The two of them shuddered and looked at Conrad, who was standing behind them.“Why did you walk so quietly?” Silas mumbled.“You have a problem with that?”“Of course not,” Silas said as he gave him the stack of guarantees. He then dragged Tiger away.Conrad looked at the guarantees in his hand and walked into the office, stopping in front of Fia’s desk.“You’re done with the meeting?” Fia smiled at him as she narrowed her eyes.“Yeah.” Conrad stared deeply into Fia’
“That’s because their children and grandchildren are all useless!” Conrad had a headache just thinking about it.His grandfather told him about it too and he did want to promote them.However, after Silas investigated them, he couldn’t use any of them as they were rotten to the core. They were all worthless and all they did was stir up trouble.None of the elders’ family members were of any use!He had no choice but to give up on them and promote the staff from the bottom rank.“All of them? How’s that possible?! They’re quite wealthy, so their children and grandchildren should have received a good education!”“Just because they had a good education and environment doesn’t mean that they could learn well.”Fia frowned. She then remembered how Conrad would always be bullied by the other scions when he was still a teen.Now that Conrad had become the best of the youngest generation in Gryphon, everyone else that bullied him back then was quite useless if she was to think about it
When they heard her voice, both of them turned to her.“What is it, Madam?” Silas asked with a serious expression on his face. He didn’t intend to answer any questions that would touch his boss’s bottom line.“Will William be tortured when he’s sent to the Hellish Training Camp? Would he starve or get cold?”Silas and Tiger let out a sigh of relief and both of them answered, “No!”Fia glared at Silas suspiciously and then switched her attention to Tiger.“Tiger, you were physically frail last time, right? What kind of training did you undergo?”Tiger was stunned for a moment before answering, “Don’t worry, Madam. Mr. Lane’s son won’t undergo one-tenth of the training I went through.”Silas nodded in agreement. “That’s right. Don’t worry! The boss already told them that the main focus is to strengthen Mr. Lane’s son physically. Training is only secondary.”“Then why can’t they send a doctor to Gryphon to watch after William?”Both of them quickly shook their heads with a shadow
“Right…” Silas pushed himself up and quickly left.“What is it?” Tiger saw Silas running back with a defeated expression on his face. He couldn’t help but be curious.Silas didn’t say anything and simply turned around with his back at him, and then knelt down.Tiger was shocked. “What are you doing?”“The boss told me to get punished by you.”“…”“Make it quick. Otherwise, when the boss comes here with his beloved wife, he might get angry and punish you along with me!”Tiger was confused, but his boss’s command was absolute. He took out the taser.“How many times?”“The boss didn’t say,” Silas cried. Ever since he left the Hellish Training Camp, he had never received this kind of punishment.Tiger frowned. “Fifty?”Silas gritted his teeth and wanted to retort to him, but back in the camp, fifty was the lightest punishment.“Do it!”He had been punished many times back in the camp. He survived all of them, didn’t he?However, when Tiger’s taser touched him, he collapsed on
