The meeting room was silent. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
"Nancy, why did this happen?" Amanda asked her directly with her chin up.
Nancy stood up and glanced at Nicholas. Nicholas was talking to assistant in a low voice and didn't pay
much attention to her. After calming down, she said, "Mrs. Amanda, it's a surprise that things go like
this. We have met our obligation to keep everyone informed. There might be some special occasion
that we can't get in touch with others, but we of course pass notice on mutually with each other once
back to company, thus we won't be slack off in work. The schedule of this meeting is too hasty.
Generally, the meeting is informed a day in advance. Then everyone can be well prepared. "
"Well prepared? According to what you just said, everyone should be well prepared before a war,
including bullet proof clothing and firecrackers, until then we go to the battle. Countless companies
around you are heading ahead nonstop and desperately. But you make a sluggish stop here and keep
saying well-prepared. What does a company want? It wants efficiency, not getting ready." Amanda
mocked at Nancy with the same words that she had been accused by the manager of her internship
abroad.
After the criticism, Amanda said flatly, "I know you're tired, but don't feel that your hard work is an honor
and deserves to be supported. You should work hard while you get a good result. Obviously, I wish you
all well. From now on, notice from human resource department shall be received three times by
everyone. You shall establish a channel. Moreover, I hope that you don't just simply send out notices,
but shall record the attendance rate every time. No matter how capable the employee is, you should
ask him to leave if his attendance rate is low. Only then the company is doing well. That's it. You can
dismiss now."
Everyone didn't expect that the meeting would end so easily. They all breathed a sigh of relief. When
they stood up and were about to leave, Nicholas grabbed the table and coughed. All of a sudden,
everyone went back to their seats.
Amanda looked at Nicholas. She just wanted to invite him to come here on a whim. She didn't expect
that Mr. Nicholas saved her face. But she had already established prestige here. Did he have anything
else to say?
Nicholas smiled and asked, "Have you had your breakfast? I know there's a tasty and time-honored
soup dumpling restaurant. Go to eat before you come back to work."
His words took Amanda by surprise. With a smile, she said, "Grandpa, you're playing with hatred. I
have a pile of work to do. I don't have time out for breakfast."
The two of them talked about their daily lives in front of everyone. Nicholas laughed and went out
directly without saying anything else.
After Nicholas left, everyone felt relieved. However, they didn't dare to underestimate Mrs. Amanda
anymore. It was nothing to be lack of experience. Nobody could invite Mr. Nicholas easily. That was
enough. This was the most powerful ability she had.
After seeing Nicholas off, Amanda turned around and saw Darren standing behind her with a cold face,
staring at her. She stopped and asked, "What's up?"
"Why did you invite grandpa?" He said.
"Asked him over just for a meeting." Amanda proposed.
Darren mocked her, "Aren't we going to prove it with our own strength? Your strength is to invite others
to back you up?"
"If I can invite others over, then it's my ability and strength. Get something for nothing is a kind of ability,
but showing out a strong backer will save me a lot of time and energy. Why should I waste my time on
this?" With a smile, Amanda made a victory pose and raised her voice, "You guys, it's far away from
defeating me."
"Mr. Darren." Sophie hushed to him, and saw Amanda gesturing at Darren. She stopped and shouted
at him softly.
"Let's go." Darren passed Amanda without even a look at her, who was flaunting.
Regardless of this, Amanda walked into her office briskly while humming a tune. At the regular meeting
this afternoon, all the human resource department including those asked for leave showed up. Amanda
said, "You don't need to come here now that you have asked for a leave. You have applied for leave
from the company. You don't have to come."
Putting down her glass, Rose said with a snort, "She does have her nose in the air. How extraordinary
for her to have Nicholas as her backer." A trace of jealousy flashed through her eyes. Why couldn't she
compete with that woman? If Nicholas treated her better, she would have already got the status as
Darren's wife.
"She has just taken over the job, and now she is reorganizing the human resource department. She
came to make troubles for me. But Mr. Darren won't allow this woman to fool others around." Nancy
said indignantly.
Suddenly, something occurred to Rose. She looked at Nancy and asked, "Did Amanda want to play
tricks on you?"
Hearing this, Nancy couldn't help but complain. The financial report was revised several times and the
change of personnel was unsatisfactory. The procedure of dismissing employees was unreasonable.
What's more, she asked them talking to employees, influencing their thoughts. Where did she learn all
these? Other companies never did it. Nancy didn't take it seriously, but Amanda had scolded her
several times in public, and Nancy felt humiliated.
Rose gave a snort, "What she did is not against you. She just wanted to borrow you to deal with me.
But it's okay. Now that she made a scene, she will trip herself again."
"Will it work?" asked Nancy worriedly.
Rose smiled and said, "Don't worry. I have never cheated you."
Nancy nodded, with unwilling in her eyes, "I don't believe that the company would trust a witless girl. I
still believe the company that I have worked for ten years loyally."
"How do you feel about your new position? Mrs. Amanda." A girl giggled.
Hearing this sensitive word, Rose immediately looked up and saw a girl in a casual batwing-sleeved
blouse was holding another one's arm, walking up to the second floor. It was a private club and
ordinary people were not allowed to come in. It was unexpected that Amanda was here too. But she
was so uneducated. It was humiliated to make a noise here.
It was a rare opportunity for Amanda to have a spare afternoon tea with Maggie. This club was
recommended by Lionel, so she took Lionel's gold card without hesitation. To her surprise, when she
walked in, she saw Rose and Nancy having afternoon tea here too. She stopped and caught a glimpse
of them. They continued to chat and laugh.
As a matter of fact, Amanda wasn't planning to say hello to them at all. But she was still in a bad mood
when she saw them. She pointed to the seats next to Rose and Nancy and took a seat. Although they
were separated by the folding screen with carved wood, they couldn't talk so freely because of the
silence.
"Wow, the coffee here is so expensive. A cup of coffee is worth me a month's salary. Fortunately, it's a
treat from you, or I will die." Maggie sat down, looked at the menu and sighed.
Amanda giggled, "Hey, don't act so pitiful as if I mistreated you."
Maggie glanced at the figure behind the screen and grinned wickedly. Amanda was totally confused.
"Would you like another green tea cheesecake?" Rose asked Nancy slowly.
Nancy smile, "No, thank you. I like latte here very much. Having too much dessert will spoil the coffee."
Hearing that, Rose smiled, "That's true."
