257 Another bouquet of flowers (2/2)
The men who were in the room gulped. They looked at each other.
\”Remind me again why you hold your position?\” Jeremy asked quietly.
Sweat wet their shirt as they gulped again. Why of all the days they had, the Young Master chose today to have an emergency meeting? They did not have the time to prepare documents to cover up their weakness and mistake.
They were desperate to defend their work but none of the excuses was accepted by this Young Master. They cursed him silently but did not show what they felt inside. Their body shook in worry, afraid what would happen to their position.
\”I believe I gave you enough time to salvage your wrong but it seems like you take me as a fool. Are you thinking that I'm young enough to be your son hence you're not taking serious about what I said?\” he stared.
None dared to say anything.
He scowled at every one of them. This was not even the first chance but the second. He gave them the second chance to correct back their mistakes but their ego was so high, nothing could stop them from being stubbornly refused to admit their mistake and continue making them.
He talked about this attitude with his father. His father told him to do what is best for the company. His father no longer interested in 'solving' the problem and told him as the one who would take over everything, Jeremy should start solving the problems occur in the company the way he wanted.
Hence, today he decided to have this meeting to check the progress of the projects. He also did look around about each department behind these managers.
So far, what he learned was not to his liking. Making use of the company's name to take a bribe, using the position to bully others. Some even participated in illegal activities by using his status in the company!
What was wrong in their head? Greed and lust took over their brain?
And despite his busy schedule, he even contacted the one in charge to deal with those dealing with the illegal activities before it could bring the company down. The company's reputation was in stake and he would not compromise with the company his father and grandfather sacrificed a lot to bring to its status now. He would not let them down.
And unknown to them, the authorities were already working on the case, checking the documents in the department.
A knock on the door made the managers shocked. They looked at the Young Master, wondering who dared to interrupt the meeting.
Jeremy just nodded at Jacob and the personal assistant stood up to open the door. Instead of letting the intruder came in, Jacob stepped outside to talk with them.
The managers shared a questioning look but still not dare to say anything. They quickly lowered down their head when Jeremy looked at them without another word.
It felt like hours but only three minutes passed when the door was opened again. Came in Jacob with four men in uniform and four men in suit.
The managers were taken back with the new arrivals. They looked at Jeremy, waiting for him to scold these men for coming in the middle of the meeting. But it seemed like Jeremy did not even notice these men.
\”Young… Master?\” one of the managers choked out, no longer could hold his patience.
Jeremy closed the file he was looking at with a scowl. He was so furious with these old men. Their ego clouded their decision skill and it almost brought the company down.
He stood up and went to the men. To the shock of the managers, Jeremy shook their hand and said \”Gentlemen, I'll hand these to you. Thank you for coming.\”
One of the men acted as the leader of both teams. He thanked Jeremy and then nodded at his team. They quickly went to the managers they were in charge of.
\”What… what are you doing?\” one manager asked when one of the men stopped at him and asked him to leave with them.
Jeremy just gave a look at Jacob before he left the meeting room. He no longer had the mood to stay here.
\”Call the PR team. We need to produce the media release ASAP,\” he told Jacob on the way to his office.
\”Yes, sir.\”
\”Also process the letter and memo for the people I've chosen to replace them. I want to meet them in ten minutes. The meeting with the PR team in half an hour,\” Jeremy said before he entered his office.
Jacob went to his own desk to call them. He also made quick work for a memo and letters for the people who were automatically got promoted after today. Today was a busy day for him.
