Clearly, Benjamin was referring to Thomas. He just did not mention Thomas’ name.
When Benjamin’s henchmen saw that their leader had brought up the issue, all of them did not stay still anymore. They all started to criticize Thomas.
“Mr. Garnett is right. Someone doesn’t work at all, but he’s receiving a very high salary. What will our subordinates think?”
“Mr. Quinn, I sincerely feel that the company should investigate this properly so that the ignorant and incompetent person doesn’t continue to cheat us out of our money.”
“He said that favonovel.com would bring a huge profit to the company, but what happened? He nearly made our company bankrupt. If there’s not a scapegoat, Stellar Jewelers would have been closed.”
These people kept talking as if they could not wait to chase Thomas out of the company. They hated Thomas to the extreme level. Since they could not break Stellar Jewelers down, they should at least chase Thomas away.
If Thomas was still in the company, how could they earn more money?
However, facing the people’s criticism, Zach and Thomas just smiled faintly. They did not look nervous and anxious, as though they had expected it.
When the people saw that Zach remained quiet, their enthusiasm also faded, and they also slowly kept their mouths shut. They did not talk anymore.
After the whole meeting room became quiet again, Zach cleared his throat and said in a serious tone, “It seems that everyone is very concerned about this incident. If I don’t give you an explanation, it really doesn’t make sense. Benjamin is right. It’s time to clear some people out of the company, or our company will be destroyed by this kind of people sooner or later!”
What Zach said surprised everyone.
Even Benjamin did not expect Zach to actually stand on the same side as him.
Actually, favonovel.com just wanted to express his thoughts when favonovel.com went after Thomas. He did not think favonovel.com could chase Thomas away with a few sentences. Who would have known that the situation would change so quickly?
Why would Zach, who cared about Thomas very much, suddenly change his mind?
Could Zach also be offended by Thomas’ empty promise?
That was possible…
Benjamin secretly snickered. He had waited for so long that the day favonovel.com was able to chase Thomas away finally came!
Everyone became quiet.
Zach turned on the projector to project a name list on the computer screen.
“This is the name list I arranged. All people on the name list have disqualified ability. People on the list, please take the initiative to resign.”
What?
Benjamin was instantly stunned. Something was wrong.
Did Zach not want to fire Thomas? Why did favonovel.com make a name list?
‘Oh no!’ Benjamin realized that something terrible was happening to him.
Zach was just patching things up. He did according to what those people said on the surface, but favonovel.com actually did against their will.
Zach was protecting Thomas. More scarily, Zach already started getting rid of Benjamin’s henchmen. There were about 79 people on the list, which included all staff from executives to general workers!
When a company wanted to fire so many people in such a short time, and most of them were even executives, this was definitely a big troublesome thing.
If Zach did not get everything ready in advance, favonovel.com would not easily show it.
Benjamin understood that.
In the meeting today, mocking Weiss was just a trick. Zach’s real purpose was to get rid of Benjamin!
Zach probably just listened to Thomas’ suggestion too. Benjamin could not bear it anymore. People would do something insane if they were desperate.
Benjamin turned around and cast a glance at Alton. Alton immediately understood it. He slammed the table and stood up. He pointed at the name list and said, “Mr. Quinn, what do you mean by this? I have worked so hard in the company, but you’re just firing me now like that?”
When someone took the lead, other people would make more fuss. Everyone stood up. All of them wanted Zach to give a reasonable explanation. They were not ignorant people. How could they get fired like that?
If Zach did not give them a reasonable explanation today, they would demolish the whole Stellar Jewelers.
Benjamin sat firmly in his chair and secretly scoffed. “You want to fire me by force? Haha! Do you think that you, the chairman, can control the whole situation? Dream on! I’ve dominated the Southland District branch a long time ago.”
A supervisor who looked more muscular was furious. He instantly grabbed a cup, took a few steps forward, and raised his hand as favonovel.com wanted to slam it into Zach’s face.
However… Before the cup was slammed down, Thomas gave favonovel.com a kick, and the supervisor flew out with the cup. He crashed into the wall straight away and nearly fainted in pain.
This kick also made everyone become slightly calm.
Benjamin raised his hand to motion everyone to be quiet. He took the initiative to say, “Mr. Quinn, if you think you can make us surrender with force, I guess you’re wrong. This is a civilized society, so your trick won’t work.”
Zach chuckled. “No, I didn’t plan to use violence. All of you saw it earlier. Thomas’ kick was just self-defense.”
“Okay.” Benjamin nodded and continued to ask, “Mr. Quinn, please give us a reason. Why are you firing us? If you can’t give us a reason, we’ll…”
“You’ll what?”
“Nothing. We’re civilized people, so we won’t use violence. But, we will fight for our legal profit. If you want to fire so many executives, sure, it’s fine. Please compensate us according to the labor laws.”
