Chapter 888 - Goodbye Mr. Dickinson (2/2)

”Yes, CEO Kiani.”, Mr. Schmidt responded weakly.

”I don't think you are doing your job well.”

”What do you mean?”, Mr. Schmidt's eyes shifted. He remembered yesterday's incident and he hoped that he will not be called for this. It's not his fault, alright?

”Mr. Dickinson sold his 8% and you didn't catch it.”

Mr. Schmidt's heart sank. It's exactly what he feared. He has two options: one is to deny it and probably lose his job, and other one is to tell the truth and to see how it goes. He braced himself: ”We did. Yesterday we created a report which contains that information.”

Jasper narrowed his eyes at the man who is literally shivering in front of him. ”Really? How come I don't know about that?”

Mr. Schmidt lowered his head.

”Tell me what happened if you want to keep your job.”, Jasper said through his teeth. He is on the verge of firing the man, but he knows that there is more to the story. Jasper has no intention of firing him until he finds out exactly what happened.

Mr. Schmidt knows that if he does not speak up now, he can probably pack his things. He never saw CEO Kiani this angry. He inhaled and said in one breath: ”Mr. Kiani comes every Wednesday to our department to see reports before we send them. Yesterday he came, as usually, and when he saw the report he lost it. He was yelling at everyone in sight and told us not to send it.”

”Do I need to remind you who is the CEO?”

Jasper's stern voice startled Mr. Schmidt. He responded in panic: ”No CEO Kiani… But your father, I mean, Mr. Kiani threatened that who shares the report will lose his job. I can't afford to lose this job.”

Jasper inhaled and closed his eyes. He is furious. His father is going every week before company analytics reports are sent out and reviews them? He dares to go and tell people not to send the reports? And even threatens them with a job loss if they don't obey? Jasper exhaled. His father does not have that power and Jasper wants his employees to know that. If he lashes out at this man, he is no better than Norman.

Jasper stabilized his mood slightly before addressing the man in front of him again.

”I want to see that report. My father can't fire you, but I can. One more mishap and you WILL lose your job. Understood?”

”Yes, CEO Kiani. Thank you, CEO Kiani. I will send you the report right away.”, Mr. Schmidt walked out of Jasper's office backward and rushed toward the elevators as soon as he passed the door.

Jasper thought how if his father threw a tantrum, then he is not the one who bought the stocks. That means that Mr. Dickinson being out is a good thing. It might be that his stocks are split up between multiple buyers and they don't have the right to join in for the board meetings. New stock owners aside, Norman lost his buddy. Ha! No wonder he is extra grumpy, he knew about this!
