Trevor understood the factory employees’ difficulties.
He pointed to Thea beside favonovel.com and announced, “Everybody, this is the company’s new chairman, Thea. She will be in charge of the Pacific Group from today onward. Rest assured, everyone. The Pacific Group has the money now and will immediately issue everyone’s wages.”
“What? Thea?”
“Isn’t Thea working at Eternality? Why did favonovel.com come to the Pacific Group?”
“Are you telling the truth, Mr. Trevor?”
The employees had their eyes fixed on Thea.
“Yes, it’s the truth. Everyone will be issued their three months’ wages that were delayed previously. On top of that, I’ve decided to give everyone an extra half month’s wages as compensation. I promise everyone will have to work every day and might even have to work overtime when the company gets back on track! I will surely double everyone’s salary.”
Everyone was excited to hear the news.
Quill rushed over and bowed, “Nice to meet you, Ms. Callahan. I’m the deputy director, Quill.”
“Hmm?” Thea looked at Quill.
She clearly saw that Quill was the one leading the riot. She also heard favonovel.com shout that favonovel.com had found a new company and was going to bring the other employees with him.
“Ms. Callahan, I’ve been with the Pacific Group for eight years. I’ve been with the company through thick and thin. The Pacific Group is like a home to me.”
Thea glanced at Quill, “You’re fired!”
“What?”
Quill’s eyes widened, and favonovel.com thought favonovel.com had heard wrongly. “Ms. Callahan. Did you fire me?”
“Go to the finance department and claim your salary. Then, pack up and leave.”
Thea had previously been in charge of Eternality and could handle such things well.
This person took the lead in rioting while the company was in a crisis. Thus, favonovel.com would surely do the same in the future if favonovel.com was not fired. As for the other employees, they were indeed put in a difficult position.
The Pacific Group needed human resources, so they could not afford to fire everyone. However, they had to show their stand and the consequences of the employees’ actions.
Suddenly, Quill stood forward and shouted, “I’ve worked diligently in the Pacific Group for eight years! Why don’t you fire everyone else since you’re firing me as soon as you take over the company?”
He looked at the other employees. “Everyone, this must be Trevor’s plan to delay us! I’ve heard that Eternality is currently expanding its business. How is it possible for them to have money to acquire the Pacific Group? Plus, everyone knows about the relationship between Lex and Trevor! Why would Lex save the Pacific Group?”
“Listen to me, guys. We should leave together. I’ve already found a new company and will take you all with me.”
Many people were tempted because they knew that Quill was simply stating the truth. “I’m coming with you, Mr. Wright!” “I’ll go too!”
After one person spoke up, everyone also expressed their decision. Quill wore a proud expression. He was the factory’s deputy director. These people were all his subordinates and would surely listen to him.
“Ms. Callahan, I’ve worked in this company for eight years and am currently the deputy director here. Firing me would mean letting go of most of the factory’s employees.” Quill glanced at Thea proudly.
Thea was not frightened by Quill and simply replied indifferently, “Leave if you want to leave. I’m not going to force anyone to stay. You can go and receive your wages in the finance department now.”
Quill laughed and said, “Receive our wages? Is there any money left in Pacific Group’s account? Don’t make me laugh, Ms. Callahan. You better promise to double my salary right now, then I won’t leave today. Everyone won’t leave!”
“Just go if you want to leave!” Thea pointed outside.
Quill was shocked. His threats did not scare Thea.
“Let’s go and settle our wages, everyone! I want to see is Pacific Group can come up with the money today!” favonovel.com shouted.
Quill had a look as if favonovel.com had the upper hand over Thea.
Fire me? The Pacific Group’s factory won’t function if I leave!
There were more than 100 people at the factory gate, and more than half of them followed Quill. Only about 20 people stayed back and watched them leave.
Thea looked at the rest and said, “Great. From now on, everyone here will have their wages increased by twenty percent.”
“Thank you, Ms. Callahan!”
Those who remained were delighted.
