Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Distorting the Truth, Do You Really Think You’re Guaranteed to Win?
Translator: 549690339
Following Ryan’s indication, both Sherry Jones and Mori Jones noticed that a new company had indeed been set up opposite the Jones Group.
They hadn’t paid attention to it before, but now they saw it. The large characters on the company’s front door read ‘Jones Industrial Group’.
The name was only two characters different from Jones Group, and it was set up directly across the street blatantly showing a provocative intent.
Neither Sherry nor Mori were aware that this new company was only registered the day before.
The legal person of the company was Will Jones himself. With the help of Hans Weiden, they finished all registration procedures in just one night.
What’s more, all employees who had resigned from the Jones Group had been arranged to join this new company.
The aim was to ruin the Jones Group.
With Hans Weiden’s financial support and former Jones Group employees, the Jones Group absolutely could not compete with this new company.
Seeing this, Sherry’s spirits dropped instantly.
It was at this moment that the elevator nearby slowly opened.
Will Jones and Snowden Jones appeared in front of everyone.
Upon seeing Will Jones, Ryan scurried over enthusiastically, looking very much like his minion as before.
Seeing this, Mori’s face darkened instantly, and she strode angrily towards Will Jones.
“Brother, what do you mean by this? What’s going on? Why did so many staff resign without any prior notice!?” Mori indignantly questioned.
On hearing this, Will Jones’ face darkened immediately. He glared, “What!? Are you questioning my decision? As the Deputy General Manager, can’t I approve a few employees’ resignations!?
Is this your attitude, or the attitude of the General Manager!?”
With a gloomy face, Will Jones glanced angrily at Sherry not far away, a cold smirk appeared on his face.
“But, you can’t approve so many employees’ resignations all at once! Does the company not need to continue? Does the Jones Family not need to continue doing business?
To spite Sherry, you’re even wagering the entire Jones Group. Can you justify this to our family’s generations of hard work?
Doesn’t it cause you a pang of conscience?” Mori asked emotionally.
“Hmph!”
Will Jones snorted coldly, then stared at Mori and said, “If the rain falls and the employee wants to leave, what can I do? Do you want me to hold a gun to their heads and prevent them from leaving!?
Ridiculous! You should look for reasons within yourselves. So many staff want to leave as soon as Sherry took office.
Isn’t it clear that it’s because of her incompetence? If she could lead the staff, would the company have been reduced to this state!?”
With an accusing expression, Will Jones pushed all the blame onto Sherry.
At this time Snowden chimed in with a sneer, “They say a new official lights three fires. So, you want this first fire to burn us?
Don’t forget, not only is my father the Deputy General Manager, he’s also your uncle. You wouldn’t dare offend your superiors, would you?
You’re incompetent and you still want to make my dad the scapegoat. Being the General Manager has certainly broadened my horizons!”
“You!”
Hearing this, Mori turned livid while Sherry’s expression did not look much better.
She never expected that Will Jones and his daughter would stoop so low to spite her, even daring to wager the entire Jones Group.
The Jones Group was her father’s life’s work, how could she watch it decline?
But at this moment, Sherry couldn’t think of another solution.
“Let it go, Auntie. Let’s not let outsiders laugh at our family affairs. Let’s go in and discuss,” Sherry said helplessly, then walked towards Will Jones and his daughter.
“Uncle, I’m still the General Manager of the Jones Group, right?” Sherry asked with a serious expression.
Will Jones responded with a cold smile, but Snowden spoke before he could, “What? Do you still want to flex as a manager in front of us?”
Sherry took a deep breath, ignoring Snowden’s words, she continued to speak to Will Jones, “As the General Manager, I order you to go to the meeting room and prepare for a meeting immediately!
You can choose not to listen, but, I won’t guarantee that your salaries and bonuses in the company won’t be affected.
You have said that the Jones Family will not support idlers. If you don’t even listen to your General Manager, then please, leave the Jones Family and never set foot in it again!”
Leaving these words behind, Sherry turned around and entered the building in front of Will Jones and his daughter.
“Ha… great managerial authority indeed!” Snowden laughed coldly, mocking Sherry.
At this time, Will Jones also smiled disapprovingly, giving off the impression that he didn’t take Sherry seriously.
However, they were both eager to see Sherry’s depressed look, so they went straight into the deserted Jones Group building.
In a short while, they had chosen seats opposite Sherry in the meeting room. Their postures suggested an intent for confrontation.
“Tell us, General Manager, with no people and no money in the Jones Group now, how do you plan to handle this?” Will Jones asked with a playful smirk.
Snowden chimed in with a mocking tone, “General Manager, with the situation being like this, it’s questionable whether we could make it through a week, let alone a month.
In my opinion, why not just declare bankruptcy? This way, while others are still unaware, we can sell the factory equipment early on, heh…”
Sherry, sitting at the main seat, had a gloomy face and eyes filled with regret after hearing these words.
At this moment, Mori quietly put down her phone. The moment she put down the phone, a playful smile appeared on her face.
Apparently, she had just texted White Mitchell about the company’s situation.
Mitchell only replied with four words: I’ll handle it!
These four words instantly calmed Mori down.
Now, White Mitchell wasn’t the worthless bastard in the eyes of Will Jones, he had a backer who could even command people like David Herb!
With him taking action, the current plight of the Jones Group wasn’t an issue at all!
Feeling reassured, Mori got up quietly, a playful smile on her face as she looked at Will Jones and his daughter, “Brother, are you really certain of your victory?”
