Renee calmed herself down and returned to the Azure Group.
“Miss Everheart!”
The employees were delighted to see Renee return safely. They happily greeted
her.
All the employees that still remained at the Azure Group were loyal people who
were determined to follow Renee.
Although there were not many of them and their abilities could not be
considered outstanding, they were all passionate, gutsy people. They made
sure to properly complete all the tasks they were assigned.
Enter title…
Renee nodded to the employees, then turned to her assistant, Shelley, and
said, “Notify every department that we will be holding the monthly meeting right
away. All the employees must attend.”
“Yes, Miss Everheart!”
Shelley replied respectfully.
At the same time, Shelley thought to herself that Miss Everheart seemed to be
in a great mood. She and Mr. Hunt must have had a great time together last
night. That means… the “marriage alliance” between the Azure Group and the H
Group would very likely happen.
The conference room was large enough to accommodate over a hundred
people. In the past, it would be filled to capacity during monthly meetings, but
today, less than a fifth of the room was filled. The rest of the seats were empty.
It looked sad.
Renee took the center seat. She could not help but sigh when she saw how
sparse the staff had become.
The Azure Group went through four years of ups and downs to reach this point.
When Liam Osborne left, he took a bunch of people with him.
Laura Osborne then took advantage of the Azure Group’s moment of weakness
to loot them. Not only did she empty their company treasury, she even took
away a group of elites.
Among those elites were R&D experts that Renee admired and designers that
Renee valued very highly…
In short, the Azure Group had been bled hard. The only reason they could
continue operation was purely because they were tough enough.
However, the days of humiliations were coming to an end. The era belonging to
the Azure Group was about to begin!
“Today is our first monthly meeting after our company has gone through a major
adjustment. I believe all of you who stayed behind are people who believe in
me. You might feel lost and confused right now, you might even be worried that
the Azure Group won’t last long, but today… As the Chairman and CEO of
Azure Group, I assure you that as long as you follow my orders and complete
your tasks well, we have a bright future ahead of us.”
Renee’s voice was not loud, but it was powerful, and it made the staff boil with
excitement.
It all sounded like a pie in the sky, but because it was Miss Everheart who said
it, they believed that it would definitely come true!
But the expression of Jay Yassin, the manager of the Market Expansion
Department, remained solemn. He hesitated a few times, but finally decided to
raise his hand to say something.
Renee turned towards Jay Yassin with a sharp gaze and asked, “Is there a
problem, Mr. Yassin?”
“Miss Everheart, first of all, allow me to express my respect and trust for you.
However, I have to be honest. While completing the tasks you assigned, I had
some doubts… To be more precise, I don’t agree with your decision.”
A commotion rose among the staff. They cast hostile glances at Jay Yassin.
After all, they saw Renee as a “goddess”. How dare he openly question the
decision of the “goddess”?!
“Please elaborate, Mr. Yassin.”
Renee remained calm.
She knew that all the people who stayed behind were those who sincerely
wanted the company to do well. Even if they had disagreements, they all merely
wanted what’s best for the company. She naturally had to respect their opinions.
“I actually agree with what Ms. Osborne said. I don’t understand why you would
keep spending money to establish a Research and Development Department
and a Production Department even though the Azure Group is facing financial
difficulties. Do we really have that many things to research and produce?”
“If our company isn’t operating at such a large scale, why do we have to
establish large-scale R&D and Production departments? It’s a waste of money.”
