When a Stingy Raise Turns into a Corporate Funeral Chapter 9
At the airport cafe, Michael sat across from me, relaxed and completely at ease. Still, I didn't dare let my guard down.In just a few short days, I had already gotten a taste of his methods.I had heard about the verdict made in Ingrid's case. She was required to compensate the company seven million dollars for reputational damages. Not only that, her social media accounts had been permanently banned, and her post was now flooded with comments cursing her.She didn't get to have any peace back at home either. Former colleagues constantly harassed her. They would splash paint on the walls and throw eggs at her door.Every time she went out, people pointed at her and gossiped about her. Once, she was even struck from behind with a blunt object. At the moment, she was still lying in the hospital.Stuart had it even worse. Thanks to the efforts of Lumina International's professional legal team, he was ordered by the court to return 45 million dollars in illegal gains and sentenced to

Michael left, but he left behind his legal, HR, and PR experts from Lumina International, who officially began working on-site.The employees in my company felt like they were walking on a tightrope every day. The previously relaxed and pleasant work atmosphere was gone. It was replaced by constant fear and tension. Everyone felt like a suspect awaiting judgment, and they all felt unsure of what lay ahead.Meanwhile, the experts worked out of a temporary office.Every day, people were called in one after another for interviews. Among them were even employees who had been with my father since the company's founding.Each person came out of the office with a vivid expression on their face. Some looked dejected, while others were restless and anxious.I knew that Michael had begun his trimming act. He didn't care about loyalty or sentiment. In his eyes, the only thing that mattered was whether one could create value for the company.This was what a true businessman was like. It was

I composed myself and strode forward to greet Michael. "Welcome to our humble company, Mr. Quinlan. I apologize for not receiving you properly. I was handling some internal matters. Please forgive the spectacle."Michael seemed amused as he responded, "Internal matters? Your company's family culture does make me envious, but what just happened seems to go beyond that."He then leaned closer and lowered his voice. "You treat them like family, but it doesn't seem like they appreciate it."I casually stepped back to put some distance between us while adopting a distant, impersonal expression. "You're overthinking it, Mr. Quinlan. I will handle everything impartially, and it won't affect your acquisition of my company."Michael didn't seem to mind. He straightened up and said, "Then you don't mind if I stay and watch the show? Don't worry. I won't interfere."I gestured for him to do as he pleased and paid no further attention to his group.Ignoring the probing looks from the emplo

Stuart and Ingrid's faces lit up just a moment ago. But now, they felt as if they had been dragged down to hell.Stuart's legs gave out. He collapsed onto the ground, and his pupils constricted violently with fear.It took a long while for him to snap out of his dazed state.The moment he did, he crawled over and grabbed my pant leg tightly. "Ms. Sarandon, this has nothing to do with me! It was all Ingrid. She was the one causing trouble the whole time! I couldn't talk her out of it no matter what!"I've worked for the company for so long. No one wishes for the company to do well more than I do! How could I possibly do anything to harm the company?"I glared daggers at the pathetic man kneeling at my feet and pulled my leg away in disgust.I spat, "While you didn't spread rumors online, you were fanning the flames and inciting unrest among the other employees. Mr. Hunt, you've been with the company for so many years. I don't think we've ever mistreated you in any way."How could

After the assembly, a cloud of gloom hung over the company. Most people were not in the mood to work. They just spent their days feeling anxious and uncertain about the future.I, on the other hand, felt as if a massive burden had been lifted off my shoulders. I hadn't been this relaxed in a long while.I submitted my enrollment application to the art faculty at the University of Owlridge. With my previous portfolio, I was very confident that they would accept me.But before I left, there was still one important matter to handle.I looked at the uneasy Ingrid in front of me and remained silent for a long time. She fidgeted with her fingers nervously and kept her head down, not daring to meet my eyes. Her attitude now was starkly different from the arrogance she had shown before.Over the past few days, I had people compile a list of all her violations of the company's code of conduct since she joined. There were records of every instance of her misconduct over the past year printe

Ingrid was the first to react. Her shrill voice cut through the silence. "Don't try to intimidate and manipulate us, Hailey!"She stood up and stared at me, desperate to confirm whether I was bluffing.I met her gaze calmly and said nothing. I just watched as she grew more and more flustered."No… S-She wouldn't. If she shuts the company down, how would she make money?" she muttered to herself. The people who had just gathered around her now offered no support at all. Uncertainty flickered across their faces as they weighed the truth of my words.But the atmosphere in the livestream comments was completely different from the scene on-site."They're being ungrateful. If they won't do work for you, I will!""I just looked up this boss and her parents. The whole family is basically living saints.""This company is known for its tremendous generosity back where I live. The fact it hasn't gone under yet is probably because of the owner's goodwill alone."Only then did Stuart sna
