A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

"You still don't agree that I can lead this company?" Darren asked in a menacing voice. His face twisted with great anger. However, the director still stared him directly in the face.

He plucked up all his courage and said, "Ex-convicts can't lead legacy companies to greatness." A sly smile slowly spread across Darren's face, his eyes filled with cold fury.

"Those are termination documents. Take them with you on your way out. You're fired." Darren smacked his lips and looked the director straight in the eye.

The director panicked at once. Before he could gather his thoughts, Darren continued, "Take your son with you as well. He's also fired."

Darren's words hit the man hard. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead as he thought about his mortgage. If he lost his job, how would he pay off his housing loan? Thinking of this, the director instantly regretted what he said. At that point, he did not care about his public image anymore. He started begging. "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I was out of line. I didn't mean what I said. Please don't terminate us. Please! I was wrong! I'm begging you, Mr. Xu!"

Darren did not budge. He simply waved his hand and security stormed in to escort the director out.

The meeting room fell deathly silent as the former director's desperate pleas vanished into thin air. Everyone was stunned by Darren's cruelty and had stopped whispering among themselves. They could only exchange shocked and awed glances. All the directors present were from ordinary families. Although they did not condone what Darren had done, they had to keep quiet. The benefits and wages offered by the KING Group were very attractive. It would be stupid to give up their jobs now for the sake of principle.

"Anyone else want to take a stand?" Darren challenged through clenched teeth. He glanced sharply at everyone present.

Scared out of their minds, everyone shook their heads quietly.

With a satisfied smile, Darren dismissed the meeting and left the room.

It was only then that the room felt like something of this world again. Nobody had moved since Darren left. The directors started exchanging words in low voices. Some of them had cold sweat dripping down their backs while others had clammy palms. The rest were still trembling with sheer fear. They felt as though they had just survived a great disaster.

And now, they had no choice but to endure what was coming next.

After the meeting, Harlan went to report to Darren immediately. As things were urgent, he did not bother to take a break. Because of the recent personnel change, all the core employees of the group had been chased away. Now, operation was partially paralyzed. Some of the business partners had even called to terminate their cooperation. In addition, some of the company's large-scale development projects had been suspended.
