Chapter 158 Everyone Awaits Bankruptcy!
The next day.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Sarah was awakened by an urgent phone call!
Looking at the caller ID, it was Emily calling.
She answered the call.
"Sarah, hurry to the company. Those contractors have gathered at the company's entrance, demanding compensation!"
Emily's voice sounded anxious over the phone!
Upon hearing this, Sarah quickly said, "Okay! I'll come over right away. You bring all these people to the conference room! Take care of yourself!"
After hanging up the phone, Sarah kicked Ryder, who was still asleep, "Don't sleep, hurry and come with me to the company. Those contractors have already come to cause trouble!"
"Oh..." Ryder rubbed his drowsy eyes with a sense of helplessness in his heart.
He thought to himself that these contractors were all so impatient. They really intended to push Sarah onto a dead-end!
Just then, he received a WhatsApp message on his phone: "Mr. Clark, everything has been taken care of!"
Ryder's mouth curved into a smile as he murmured, "Too bad, you don't know that this behavior is actually speeding up your path to destruction!"
Meanwhile, inside the meeting room of SR Group, it was bustling with activity!
These representatives of the construction companies, one by one, were sitting on chairs, exhaling smoke, and some even put their feet up on the meeting table!
Why were they so arrogant?
Because they were here to collect debts!
To collect debts, they had to display this kind of attitude to put greater psychological pressure on the other party!
Not only that, some of these contractors even brought their lawyers along!
Their purpose was clear. To claim for more compensation!
After all, yesterday the Windsor Family and the Johnson Family suddenly increased the prices of building materials.
A fierce cut was made! This debt must be recovered from the SR Group!
At this moment, the sound of high heels walking could be heard outside the meeting room. The representatives of the construction companies brightened up, thinking that it was Sarah rushing over.
Each of them immediately stared fiercely at the entrance of the meeting room. Just as a woman's figure appeared at the door, one of the construction company representatives suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Damn it! Sarah, you finally showed up!"
"You scared me!" The woman at the door was startled by his outburst and jumped up, saying, "Who's shouting like that?"
Only then did the representatives of the construction companies see the woman at the door clearly. It wasn't Sarah, but Elena, whose face had turned pale from being frightened, followed by the unpleasant-looking Abigail.
Upon seeing it was the two of them, the representatives of the construction companies were taken aback.
Once the SR Group goes bankrupt, the Windsor family and the Johnson family will become the absolute overlords of the Houston building materials market! They will have the final say in prices in the market!
As construction companies, they must establish good relationships with them. Even if they were deceived by the price increase of the two families yesterday, they could only swallow their dissatisfaction!
Hence, they quickly stood up one by one, wearing flattering smiles on their faces, and greeted, "So it's Miss Elena and Miss Abigail! Please come in and have a seat!"
"You truly are the representatives of the young generation in Houston, both talented and beautiful!"
"It's our honor to cooperate with the two of you. Please take care of us in the future!"
Elena and Abigail, hearing these flattery, forgot about the unpleasantness they had just experienced. They walked to the middle position vacated by the representatives of the building materials companies and sat down.
The reason they came here was to witness the bankruptcy of the SR Group and Sarah's complete failure!
Originally, they had been partying at a club with a few handsome guys until the early morning, exhausted. According to logic, they should have slept until noon, but they still insisted on coming!
It showed how deep their hatred and obsession for Sarah and Ryder were!
Elena took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, enjoying it, and casually said, "Where are Sarah and Ryder? Isn't today the day they are supposed to deliver the building materials to you? They wouldn't have run away, would they?"
One of the construction company representatives answered, "We have already asked her secretary to contact her. We demand compensation today. We will make sure the SR Group pays a heavy price, even bankruptcy! And when you two unite and dominate the Houston building materials market, please remember us!"
Elena blew out a smoke ring, appearing very generous, and said, "We are well aware!"
The representatives of the construction companies chuckled but didn't continue the conversation.
Internally, they sneered, who knows if you being "well aware" means you are planning to raise the prices again?
Two minutes passed.
Paul and the senior members of the SR Group arrived at the conference room. They all looked excited. Since signing the gambling agreement yesterday, they had been quite busy.
First, they discussed the distribution of the group's equity, and then they each became occupied with their own matters. Some were planning to buy a house overseas, some signed agreements with friends to invest in starting companies, and others promised to buy sports cars for their mistresses, and so on. That's why they were anxious for SR Group to go bankrupt soon.
At this moment, outside SR Group Ryder and Sarah arrived by taxi. Emily, who had been waiting downstairs for a long time, greeted them anxiously, "Sarah, the representatives from the construction company are all gathering in the conference room. Even Elena and Abigail came!"
Hearing this, Sarah was surprised, "Why did they come?"
Ryder casually said beside her, "Well, isn't it obvious? They just want to watch the show!"
Emily nodded and continued, "Not only that, what's even more despicable is that they were in the employee area earlier, saying in front of many employees that SR Group is going bankrupt. They claimed that from now on, the Windsor family and the Johnson family will dominate the building materials market, and both families' companies are in need of workers! So quitting SR Group now and going to work for them is still possible, but if they wait any longer, they won't have the chance!"
These words caused panic among the employees. In fact, many people in the company already knew about the gambling agreement signed by Sarah, Paul, and the other senior executives yesterday. Naturally, they didn't have high hopes for the outcome of the agreement, and quite a few of them started looking for new opportunities. So, prompted by Elena's "reminder," they began to prepare for resignation and pack up their things.
Upon learning about this situation, Sarah remained relatively calm. After all, she had experienced something similar before and had gained some experience from it. The three of them entered the office building. As soon as they walked in, they were stopped by a janitor.
Sarah asked curiously, "Is there something wrong?"
This janitor was the same person who had accidentally splashed dirty water on Klay on Sarah's first day as the CEO of the company. In the end, Sarah and Ryder helped her out, so she was grateful to Sarah in various ways.
The janitor looked nervous and anxious as she said, "Mrs. Johnson, I discovered something that I think is very important and I need to tell you."
