Naomi was taken aback, âHow do you know about that?â
Sugar Bun suddenly became arrogant as he boasted, âHow could I not know? Iâm your brother! Naomi, are you really dating Benedict? Thatâs not too bad! Well, when I return, Iâll ask him for something. He has something with him that Iâve been wanting for a long time!â
âSugar Bun!â Naomi told him off. âAre you trying to sell your own sister off to gain something in return? Besides, who told you that Benedict and I are together? Donât you have Internet over there? The news about me dating Nelson is all over the internet!â
Sugar Bun was befuddled, âNelson? Who is that?â
âIn short, heâs the person I like. Itâs none of your business!â
âOh,â Sugar Bun was a little disappointed. âThen, Benedict must be heartbroken!â
Naomi was lost for words.
âWhich is more important? Your sisterâs happiness or Benedictâs feelings?â
Sugar Bun was startled.
âOf course your happiness is more important!â
Satisfied, Naomi hung up on the call and handed the phone back to Eudora.
âHere you go.â
After that, she turned around and left.
Eudora quickly stopped her, âNaomi, why do you seem to be in a bad mood? Whatâs wrong? Did something happen in the company?â
As Naomi was about to open her mouth and speak, she saw Amosâs sharp eyes.
She then paused instinctively, âIâm fine! Iâm just a little tired from working today.â
Eudora pursed her lips and said, âLet me ask Cindy to make you some hot soup.
âSure!â Naomi nodded.
After Naomi left, Amos said, âItâs okay, your health is more important. Naomi can deal with her problems herself!â
Eudora nodded. Looking at how worried Amos was, she couldnât help but let out a chuckle.
âIâm not a child anymore. Why are you so concerned?â
Amos sighed, âIn my heart, you will always be a child. Youâre my treasure.â
â¦
Over at Inchee Group.
The next day, Nelson received the latest notice as soon as he entered the company.
Richard was like a robot as he spoke into Nelsonâs ear, âThis is the latest news from the headquarters. âNelson Luther has failed to respect the companyâs regulations and made rash decisions on his own, which has brought losses to the company. After deep consideration, the company has hereby decided that Nelson Luther is solely responsible for the incident. The total amount of loss suffered by the company will be deducted from President Lutherâs salary as compensation. Should he violate the companyâs regulations again, he will be immediately dismissed from the presidentâs position.'â
The notice had not only personally been sent to Nelson.
It was also sent to every single employee of the Inchee Groupâs branch in Rosaville City!
It was obvious that Monique was trying to give him a warning.
Richard was a little distressed, âMr. Luther, if things continue on this way, how will the people in the company still respect you? What on earth is Miss Monique trying to do? Are we here to complete a task, or is she planning to ruin your life?â
The corner of Nelsonâs lips twitched.
âWeâve come here for the task, but donât forget that we are just puppets. What are puppeteers most afraid of? They are afraid that the puppets will start to move by themselves and act on their own. Therefore, they are always trying to control the puppets with all their might, to not let the puppets move on their own.â
Richardâs brows knitted, âWhat should we do now?â
Nelson shook his head, âItâs gonna be alright! Iâm here with you. Sheâs just trying to suppress us for now. After all, she needs us to help her obtain Valiant East! After we take control of Valiant Eastâ¦â
Nelson did not continue speaking. He looked away.
âPlease prepare for the meeting later this afternoon.â
Richard nodded, âEverything has been arranged. I have already informed the top executives of the company this morning. They should all be here in ten minutes.â
âAlright then, letâs go!â
The two of them went out of the office and headed straight to the meeting room.
After Richard pushed the door open, he quickly took a step back to look at the meeting room number carefully.
âIt should be in hereâ¦â
Nelson was getting annoyed, âWhere is everyone?â
Richard then said, âIt seems that the thing that we are worried about has finally happened! Mr. Luther, why donât you go back to the office first? Iâll contact them againâ¦â
Nelson stopped him, âSince when did you become so gentle?â
Richard was stunned, âWhat?â
âItâs working time right now. Do we have to be so polite towards those who do not comply with the companyâs work regulations? Repeat the companyâs regulations for me, right now.â
Richardâs body trembled as he replied, âAccording to the companyâs rules, employees who do not follow the companyâs instructions will be given a first warning. Those who have committed the mistake once will be penalized lightly. Those who have repeated the same mistake twice will be given a second warning. Those who have repeated the mistake multiple times will be dismissed with immediate effect.â
âVery good! Forward this regulation to every department of the company right now. Iâll be waiting here!â
âNoted!â Richard turned around and left.
After a short while, the whole company received a message of the companyâs regulations.
Some of the staff were timid and began to feel worried.
âWill Mr. Luther really punish us according to the companyâs regulations?â
âHow can it be possible?â some of bolder staff laughed. âYou are such a coward. Nelson canât even protect himself right now! I heard that the boss from the headquarters is really powerful. There used to be someone just like Nelson, but he was fired only after a few days. So, donât be afraid! Who knows, the next person who takes over after Nelson leaves might be easier to deal with! By then, no one can control us!â
Those who hesitated at first were once again motivated by those words.
âYou are right! We canât be too cowardly! If the companyâs superior keeps changing, we, as the long-serving employees, will become more powerful! Weâve all been working for the company ever since the company was still abroad! Who knows, when Nelson has no other choice, he might even increase our salaries to win us over!â
âYouâre right! Thatâs true!â
As a result, even though the message had been sent out, not a single person showed up.
Richard frowned, âItâs been an hour, yet no one has appeared! Mr. Luther, Iâ¦â
âSend out another notice. Let them know that they have one hour to repent. If they show up within the next ten minutes, Iâll pretend as if nothing has ever happened. If theyâre still that stubborn, let the HR department issue them a warning letter each!â
âConsider it done!â
A few minutes later, all the departments downstairs were in an uproar again.
âLook, Iâve told you! Heâs nothing but a big talker. The senior executives are making things difficult for him. If he doesnât try to win our hearts, how can he gain a firm foothold in this company? Thereâs nothing we should be afraid of! I bet that he wonât have the guts to issue us a warning letter after ten minutes.â
âYou are right!â someone laughed.
One of the more cowardly staff members still gave in in the end. He made an excuse for himself and said, âLet me go up and have a look. If thereâs any problems, Iâll let you all know.â
âUseless!â someone snorted, but soon after, everyone began to laugh again.
The cowardly man went up nervously and opened the door.
He hurriedly explained, âSorry, I-Iâm late, I had an e-emergency.â He thought that Nelson would be furious, but he was extremely calm.
âTake a seat! As I said, if anyone shows up within ten minutes, I will forgive them.â
After that, Nelson took a look at his watch, âOne minute left! I think no one else will be coming! Richard, let us begin!â
The man who showed up jumped up in shock and thought to himself, âMr. Luther doesnât look like heâs joking about this!â
