Bang!

Elijah Bailey’s resonating voice echoed instantly in the vacant office.

In the following moment, Elijah Bailey appeared on the scene commanding the attention of more than a hundred employees.

A hundred trailing voices stood firm behind Elijah Bailey, full of youthful vitality.

Subsequently, Elijah Bailey boldly took a stand behind Sherry Jones.

Just like that, Sherry Jones gained the support of hundreds of employees at her side.

Not only that, these employees were meticulously selected and carefully groomed elites by Elijah Bailey.

And those who undermined the team spirit, such as Ryan, had been long ousted by Elijah Bailey.

The group of individuals present now are truly the backbone of the Jones Group.

Upon seeing Elijah Bailey, Ryan was dumbstruck, and an array of emotions began to emerge on his face.

“Elijah Bailey!? What are you doing here!?”

Ryan’s eyes became narrow slits, reflecting two rays of resentment. He clearly had a bone to pick with Elijah Bailey.

However, Elijah Bailey seemed to turn a blind eye to him.

Then, he respectfully approached Sherry Jones and said, “Miss, my apologies for the delay.”

“Elijah, what is this!?”

Upon hearing Elijah Bailey’s words, Sherry Jones was taken aback and clearly puzzled.

She recognized Elijah Bailey as one of her father’s trusted lieutenants and a veteran of the Jones Group.

However, ever since her father was expelled from the Jones Family because of White Mitchell, Elijah Bailey had been marginalized in the Jones Group.

She remembered how, the year after her father left the Jones Family, Elijah Bailey approached her father for a drink, wearing a look of dejection.

In his inebriation, he revealed that he was let go. Sherry Jones, who was present, heard it all.

Sherri Jones could never have imagined that a couple of years later, Elijah Bailey would return to the Jones Group, backed by so many employees.

Moreover, though she was not familiar with these employees, she had a vague memory of seeing them the last time she visited the company.

Though she couldn’t recall their names, these were all veterans of the Jones Group.

But weren’t these veterans all poached with high salary offers?

The veterans behind Elijah Bailey were not the same ones who sided with Ryan, and the employees that Ryan took away were mostly new hires. These were genuine veterans of the company!

How did they end up behind Elijah Bailey? Could it be that the one responsible for poaching the staff at high salaries was Elijah Bailey?

Sherry Jones remained puzzled.

At this time, Elijah Bailey slowly said: “Miss, don’t be surprised. All this was made possible with the help of an old friend of Mr. Logan’s.

He could not stand the way the Jones Family was treating you and so he dispatched me to quietly poach employees. It was also to amass strength in your favor.

Knowing that you are back as the General Manager, and in need of manpower, I brought them back.”

These words of explanation from Elijah Bailey were taught by White Mitchell, without which he would not have known how to explain the situation.

After hearing Elijah Bailey’s words, Sherry Jones felt a warmth surge in her heart. Just when she wanted to find out who had been helping her, Elijah Bailey interrupted her.

“Miss, we can reminisce later. For now, let this old man help you stabilize the situation.” Elijah Bailey spoke sincerely.

Upon hearing his words, Sherry Jones quietly nodded, her heart filled with ambition.

Just now she might have been a clever woman without any supplies, but now it was different. She had Elijah Bailey and many staff members who supported her. Her confidence increased significantly.

Then, Elijah Bailey directly looked at Ryan who wore an aggrieved face: “What? Are you still not satisfied with being fired last time? Do you still want to cause trouble for the young lady!?”

“You!”

After hearing these words, Ryan’s face became flushed, as if he had been slapped.

“Elijah, what’s going on?” Sherry Jones couldn’t help but ask at this moment.

Elijah snorted at Ryan and respectfully told Sherry: “Miss, there is something you may not know.

Since I gathered all these employees, I conducted an investigation among them to understand the company’s situation over the past few years.

Unexpectedly, I found that Ryan was a bad apple. He got promotions by flattering superiors and idled away his time. He was a big worm gnawing at the company’s resources, so I fired him right away!”

At this point, Elijah glanced at Ryan with contempt: “What kind of elite employee is he? He’s nothing more than a troublemaker!”

Upon hearing these words, Sherry Jones’s face revealed a look of realization.

Mori Jones, who was next to her, couldn’t help but ridicule Ryan: “I wondered why you came back so obediently when my brother asked you to. I was puzzled, how could they let you go so quickly? It turns out you were fired!

You even pretended to be loyal to the company and claimed to be an elite employee? I spit!”

Whoosh!

Upon hearing this, Ryan’s face turned red in an instant, feeling both ashamed and annoyed.

He pointed at Elijah somewhat guiltily and scolded: “What are you talking about? What do you mean you fired me? It’s obviously that I don’t want to be with you!

You are the one who turned against the Jones Group and are a back-stabber. I disdain to work with such a scheming man!

Hmph! This is called abandoning darkness for light, understand!?”

Abandoning darkness for light?

Mori Jones retorted coldly: “Who is undermining the company, isn’t it clear now? You even have the nerve to say such words!

Get lost! This is the Jones Group, not your fake company without even a business license!”

“You!”

Ryan was at a loss for words from Mori’s rebuttal, feeling an indescribable frustration, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

At this moment, Elijah Bailey didn’t care about his reaction. He turned to Sherry Jones and said: “Miss, give your order. As long as you say it, all of us employees will fall into place.

They are all very familiar with all the business processes, no need for any adjustment.”

At this time, the other employees also eagerly said: “Yes, General Manager, give your order. We all can’t wait to start working.”

It was clear that since Elijah fired Ryan and his flatterers, the whole atmosphere in the Jones Group had improved a lot.

Furthermore, Elijah always spoke highly of Sherry. Of course, the most crucial thing was the salary package.

Now, they were doing one job while receiving two salaries. One was from White Mitchell, and the other was from the Jones Group.

All these thanks to Sherry, so they obviously pledged full loyalty to her.

At this moment, Sherry, looking at these lively employees, felt moved and hopeful. It seemed that her blood had been ignited, and her mood suddenly became excited.

However, just as she was about to give the order, Will Jones, who had heard about the situation and rushed over, roared at everyone: “What are you doing! What are you all doing?!

Elijah Bailey? A useless man that I fired, why are you back?!

If you bring so many people here, are you trying to stage a rebellion? Do you believe I can have you arrested right now?!”
