Chapter 1596 Idiot
Some netizens took a screenshot of Laura on a TV show and posted it online, asking: [Can someone tell me who this beautiful lady next to the First Lady is? She's so pretty and elegant.]
Netizens quickly replied: [She should be the First Lady's niece, Beatrice.]
[No way, Beatrice has attended several events before, and I've seen her. She's not this pretty.]
[Maybe she's one of the secretaries.]
[This is the First Lady's goddaughter, Laura. I saw her at the DreamDazzle Beauty Co. live show.]
[Now that you mention it, she does look familiar. Laura's whole demeanor has changed, but her figure is still amazing.]
[If it's Laura, isn't she Michael's ex-wife?]
[I thought after she divorced Michael, the Jude family didn't like her anymore.]
[She's quite capable. Just recently, she went to Mirage Beauty Emporium's research headquarters for training. Mirage Beauty Emporium is full of talented researchers. She must have some skills to get in for training.]
[I heard that at this banquet, Laura even translated the menu for the First Lady of Serindale in Serindale's language, which greatly impressed her. And she did it all without a translator, speaking fluently.]
[Laura is beautiful, talented, and elegant. Is Michael an idiot?]
[Is this the first time you realized Michael is stupid? I heard the Ocean Blue group isn't doing well at all now.]
[He must be an idiot. I recently watched his wedding video with that Megan. They were all smiles, and the wedding was so luxurious, like they were trying to pile all their money on themselves. None of the Jude family attended. Do they think they're the only rich people in the world?]
[This company won't last long. Only a fool would partner with Michael.]
The topic gradually started to drift.
When the employees of the Ocean Blue group noticed Michael trending on the hot list, they quickly checked it out and found that Michael was being criticized again.
Although they didn't want to criticize him, they felt uncomfortable after reading the comments.
With the company not doing well recently, they started discussing it even during work hours.
"Not to be rude, but I think they're right. Laura was so great before."
"Yeah, if the boss hadn't divorced Laura, we could be bragging online now. But look at us."
"Laura is really beautiful and gracious. She visited us last year and greeted us warmly, not arrogant at all."
"I've been wanting to say this for a long time. Our boss has poor judgment."
"I used to think Laura was only noticed by the Jude family because of Michael. But now I see it's Laura who has the skills. Without Michael, she's even more dazzling."
"I think Laura really brought luck to her husband. Look at how well our products sold when she was with us. I heard it broke the company's highest sales record. After she divorced Michael, our business quickly declined."
"Yeah, she was just a simple formulator before. Now, in such a short time, she's not only founded her own brand but also attends state banquets. Her future is limitless."
"I think I should submit my resignation soon. It's not that the Ocean Blue group is bad, but Michael really lacks ability."
"Me too. I'll see if I can apply to DreamDazzle Beauty Co."
A group of people were discussing in the break room, completely unaware that Michael was inspecting that floor and heard everything they said.
Michael's assistant, Blake Lane, also heard it. Seeing Michael's furious expression, Blake was scared.
"Mr. Jude," he called out softly, mainly to remind the people inside.
They should stop talking before it gets worse.
The employees inside immediately froze, their faces turning pale.
Michael walked over with a sinister smile, "I have poor judgment, and I lack leadership skills? Want to resign? Fine, get out now. I've had enough of you useless people. Get out."
He grabbed the collar of a nearby male employee and threw him out forcefully. "All of you, get out. You look down on me? Well, I look down on you either."
The male employee, humiliated and furious, snapped, "You think I care about this job?"
He yanked off his tie and threw it on the ground. "I've been wanting to say this for a long time. If you hadn't cheated during your marriage and ruined your own reputation, our products wouldn't be boycotted. The company's performance has been terrible this year, with constant losses and store counters being pulled. As the boss, you still have no strategy. It's obvious you lack leadership skills."
"You're asking for it." Michael stepped on his tie, completely enraged, and clenched his fist, ready to punch.
Blake quickly stopped him, "Mr. Jude, calm down. The employees are watching."
"I'm not asking for it. I'm quitting. Do you think I'm the only one? Many people want to resign."
The male employee angrily said, "An entrepreneur who doesn't care about their reputation, no matter how strong their background, can only go so far. Look at your ex-wife, Laura. She's more successful than you now. Saying you have poor judgment is being kind. You're an idiot."
He walked out, unwilling to endure it any longer.
Why should Michael call them useless?
As the boss, didn't Michael see how they worked day and night for that meager salary? They weren't just working for the money; they cared about the company like it was their child. Everyone had feelings for it.
But Michael never considered how his actions would impact the company.
As a boss, Michael was too selfish.
He didn't care about the year-end bonus; he just didn't want to work there anymore.
"Since Michael says we're useless, let's all leave."
The others who had been discussing in the break room also came out.
Blake was nervous. These were all excellent employees from the marketing department. At such a critical time, losing so many people would be disastrous for the company.
"Get out, disappear from my sight immediately." Michael was already blinded by rage.
Blake remained silent.
By the time Michael left, most of the marketing department's supervisors and team leaders had quit. What would happen to the upcoming work?
Michael stormed back to his office.
Thinking about being called an idiot by his employees, he furiously smashed all the decorations in his office.
Blake stood by, trembling, not daring to speak. He was exhausted. If it weren't for the high salary, he would have quit long ago.
Serving Michael every day was too tiring.
