Chapter 106 I Want to Fulfill My Dream!
"Huh?" Sarah looked surprised. She thought, "I had almost resolved the issue. What are you doing now? Aren't we on the same side?"
She glared at Ryder, clearly annoyed, and asked, "What's your objection?"
Ryder glanced at Klay and smiled. "Didn't Klay say he would clean the toilets if you were the new CEO of the company? I've seen Klay sing and dance amazingly well, so I believe cleaning toilets will be no problem for him! What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces changed instantly.
They all thought this bastard was trying to drive Klay to death!
Klay's eyes widened even more.
How could he have expected it to really turn out like this?
He quickly pleaded, "Ahem! Mrs. Johnson, I was just speaking casually earlier. Please don't take it seriously!"
Ryder persisted. "Are you going to change your mind in front of so many people?"
Klay was furious. Ryder was clearly targeting him! With his neck held high, he said, "So what if I change my mind? I'll just resign and quit as the general manager! What's there to be afraid of?"
Ryder smiled faintly. "Of course. But you must know this before you resign. According to the company's regulations, a professional investigation will be conducted to see if there has been any embezzlement or serious disciplinary violations during your tenure. If there are any, congratulations! You can skip the toilet cleaning and go straight to the prison cell!"
Klay's face immediately turned pale!
He had been involved in abusing his power, corruption, and bribery!
Previously, Joseph turned a blind eye. But if they really started investigating, it would certainly be a thorough one!
Moreover, considering the amount involved, if it escalated to the court, he would be spending the rest of his life behind bars!
Ryder reminded him, "Think carefully. You have a choice, and if you make a mistake, you may regret it for the rest of your life!"
"I..." Klay struggled for a long time without being able to say a word. In the end, he could only nod unwillingly. "I... I'm willing to clean toilets."
"Now that you're willing to clean toilets, you will have a lower position in the company than the cleaning lady, and she is your senior. You should respect her well. Otherwise, you know what will happen!"
Klay trembled in fear and looked at the cleaning lady.
He almost burst into tears!
At this moment, the cleaning lady felt like she was dreaming.
In just over ten minutes, the once arrogant Klay had become a janitor, and he even became her subordinate!
All of this was thanks to Ryder and Sarah.
She approached them gratefully and held Sarah's hand. "Mrs. Johnson, gentleman, I... I don't know how to thank you."
Sarah grabbed the cleaning lady's hand and said, "Don't say that! It's the fault of the company's culture and system that allowed mistreatment of hardworking frontline employees like you! I heard your child is sick and hospitalized. I approve your leave for a period of time until your child recovers. And if any other frontline employees encounter difficulties, you can always talk to me.
"Instead of relying on high positions to maliciously bully others, we should help and support each other! If I ever find out about incidents like this again, no matter how big the position is, they will all be dismissed!"
Upon hearing this, the cleaning lady burst into tears and wanted to kneel down to thank Sarah.
But Sarah quickly pulled her up.
The other janitors and security personnel were also teary-eyed.
Before this, the grassroots employees like them were the least valued in the company. They earned little and worked hard, enduring constant disdain.
Countless grievances had been endured over the years!
Today, someone finally stood up for them!
As for the other management and white-collar employees of the company, their faces turned red, and they lowered their heads in shame!
Ryder, who witnessed everything, secretly gave Sarah a thumbs up.
She truly lived up to being his wife. Her methods were impressive!
Not only did she establish her authority in the company, but she also rallied a group of connections!
Although these grassroots employees had low positions and didn't deal with core business affairs, their work covered every corner of the company. They had eyes and ears everywhere.
If anything happened, they could notify Sarah immediately!
Furthermore, not all of these white-collar employees were useless. Ryder believed that a considerable portion of them had a sense of justice.
He believed that upon witnessing this scene, they would also respect Sarah.
After this episode, Sarah organized a company-wide meeting that lasted the entire morning.
Ryder and David were both in attendance.
The core points set during the meeting were as follows:
Firstly, the company's corporate culture would be reformed, and no negative incidents would be tolerated.
Secondly, cooperation with Maple Real Estate would be initiated, as it was the most important business need at present.
Thirdly, Sarah's branch would merge with the Smith Group, and after the merger, the new entity would be renamed to "SR Group."
Ryder was very curious about the company's new name!
After the meeting ended, he asked Sarah why she chose this name.
Sarah blushed and gave a coy answer.
Actually, it was a combination of their initials!
Ryder was quite satisfied with the name.
It seemed that Sarah still cared about him a lot.
And coincidentally, Ryder was the president of Maple Real Estate, and Sarah was the president of SR Group.
Perfect!
In the afternoon, Sarah had a meeting with the company's management team.
Ryder and David had other matters to attend to, so they left.
Ryder personally escorted David to his car and expressed his gratitude. After all, David had put in a lot of effort during this period.
In response, David smiled and said, "Let's have a meal together some day!"
David was sent off.
Ryder went straight to Maple Real Estate.
After dealing with the important matters of the company, it was already past six in the evening.
Stretching lazily, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Tonight is the agreed-upon day with Andy - a midnight streak!
Andy used Arturo to insult Sarah, and Henry betrayed Sarah back then!
How could he let it go easily?
He took out his phone and called George. "Call a few people tonight, and get some props. I want to fulfill my dream of being a horror film director."
