Grace Martinez looked up, gazing at Daniel Marshall.
At this moment, James Marshall stated in a mature and steady voice, “Chief Daniel, please stop making things difficult for Director Martinez. We shouldn’t let the team be divided over a mere transfer order; it’s bad for the leadership team.”
“Uncle, you honor me too much with your words. Just a moment ago, how imposing Director Martinez was, how aggressive she was. You all saw it, the high-ranking officials here saw it too. If there was any gap, it was definitely there before I questioned her, and it is not because of me.”
Daniel’s sharp hawk-like eyes casually swept over the room, conveying a commanding and dominant presence. His attractive but sinister face was touched by a provocative smile.
Grace wanted to speak, but James glanced at her, and she immediately remained silent.
Beneath the table, nobody spoke up. Michael Marshall’s eyes narrowed slightly, his emotions inscrutable.
A few seconds later, Michael Marshall turned to his son, “Chief Daniel, what are your thoughts?”
With just a raised eyebrow, slightly pursed lips, a nodded head, or a smile, Daniel exhibited an air of dignity and elegance.
His piercing gaze swept across the room, making everyone feel that Daniel Marshall was too sharp, exhibiting a worldliness and edge that was both acute and intense
“If the Chairman wants my opinion, then I might as well speak frankly. If there’s division within the leadership team, it’s lethal to the team spirit. I fear that future work execution will be difficult and could lead to uncontrollable situations.
HR is the heart of the leadership team. If an HR Director can’t balance the workload of each department if they can’t view matters objectively, can’t resolve conflict, but instead proactively creates conflict, it would spell disaster for the entire corporation.
The HR department reports directly to the CEO and manages personnel affairs for the CEO. After hearing what Director Martinez said earlier, I find it difficult to trust her. I suggest that the Chairman dismiss Director Martinez from her role. She’s more suitable for a Public Relations role.”
Upon hearing this, Grace’s expression remained unwavering, as though she saw herself as completely blameless. She looked defiantly at Daniel, as if preparing to argue back.
James stared at her, as if warning her to know her place.
Having heard Daniel’s opinion, Michael Marshall nodded slightly, his expression subtly shifting.
It was rare. For the first time, both father and son had a consensus, both agreed on how to handle the situation.
“I have seriously considered Daniel’s suggestion. His analysis makes sense. A group should place emphasis on team spirit. No matter how capable an individual is, they cannot operate without their team. Team interests should always come first.
For now, I announce a new transfer order: Grace Martinez will serve as Public Relations Manager. The workload of the HR department will be handed over to the HR Manager within the day. Until a new HR Director takes over, the HR Manager will be responsible for the department.”
Unhappily, Grace restrained herself, “Yes, Chairman!”
Michael asked his secretary to start the presentation, “Now, let’s move on to the routine meeting to review the performance of the previous three quarters. Let’s discuss this.”
When Grace returned to her office, she immediately called James on his private number.
James did not answer her call.
At this moment, Daniel was sitting in James’ office, congratulating him on his promotion.
Daniel heard James’ phone ringing, but James did not answer the call nor did he take his phone out to check it.
Daniel’s eyes shifted unpredictably as he stared aggressively at James, specifically reminding, “Uncle, your phone is ringing. Why aren’t you answering it? Is it because I’m here, you’re not comfortable answering it?”
James nonchalantly raised a hint of a smile, “Nothing as mysterious as you’re imagining. Just a pesky agent, always calling to bug me, offering me property deals, trying various ways to get me to buy houses.”
