Sayon, Jones Group.

The group of employees following Elijah Bailey unconsciously showed a timid expression. They couldn’t help looking at each other with unease.

Clearly, over the years, they had suffered quite a bit of oppression from Will Jones.

Which explained the fearful looks on their faces now.

However, Sherry Jones, the current CEO of Jones Group, fearlessly shielded Elijah and the employees behind her.

She fearlessly stood in front of Will Jones and looked directly at his terrifying eyes. It was a classic case of the clash of the titans.

Next, she spoke. “Elijah was brought back in by me, is there a problem with that, Vice President Jones?” she asked.

Wow!

Calling him Vice President Jones almost made Will Jones leap with frustration.

He never expected that the delicate and seemingly weak Sherry would show such strong defiance.

For a moment, he was so furious that he didn’t know how to respond.

After a while, he finally managed to spit out, “Elijah Bailey is too meritorious for his own good, with questionable conduct. I fired him three years ago!

Are you not afraid that the employees under your hands will have opinions by bringing him back?”

Upon hearing these words, Sherry turned to the hundred-plus employees and asked, “Did you all hear what Vice President Jones said? Do any of you have any problems with Elijah returning?”

The crowd was startled for a moment, then they spoke in unison, “No!”

With over a hundred voices echoing, it completely overshadowed Will Jones’ voice, causing his face to instantly darken with rage.

“These are all employees who have decided to leave the company. Once disloyal, always useless. Don’t even a CEO like you know this!? What kind of CEO are you?!” Will Jones exclaimed, unwilling to accept defeat.

Upon hearing his words, the employees were filled with indignant fury.

The reason they chose to leave was not just due to wages and treatment but more so because they did not want to endure further oppression from Will Jones.

Otherwise, the fact that over a hundred employees left without even providing an explanation shows that they departed resolutely.

This simply proves that there’s no regard left for Jones Group among all the employees in the whole company.

And Will Jones’ trusted subordinates are merely flatterers. People like Ryan are utterly incompetent and are only adept at currying favor to gain benefits.

A company run by such petty people isn’t worth staying in!

While the employees were all quietly resentful towards Will Jones, Sherry directly and candidly retorted, “Right now, I am the CEO of Jones Group!

Who I choose to employ, and how I use them is none of your business, Vice President Jones, is it?

Yes, you are my elder uncle, but don’t forget, we are at the company, not at home! As long as I am the CEO, it’s not your place to pass comment on my employees!

Everyone should get back to work immediately. If anyone tries to hinder you, report to me in my office at once!”

Wow!

Sherry’s bold and assertive speech instantly raised the spirit of the moment. Everyone’s eyes were flickering with an intense fire of excitement.

The next moment, the hundred-plus workers set off, completely ignoring Will Jones’ countenance and directly throwing themselves into their work.

The previously quiet and barren Jones Group suddenly picked up the pace. The working enthusiasm of the employees was tremendously higher than before.

Watching this happen, Will Jones’s face turned green with anger. His utmost anger was absolutely apparent.

Public humiliation!

Under everyone’s gaze, Sherry was blatantly slapping him in the face!

Ever since taking over the Jones Group, he had never experienced such a humiliation before.

This seemed to take him back to the days when he used to work under Logan Jones.

Even though he was the older brother, the eldest son of the Jones Family, when it came to business acumen, he couldn’t hold a candle to Logan. Thus, all along he had to follow in Logan’s shadow.

Surprisingly, after all these years, there was now Sherry Jones looking to shine brightly above him.

This was unacceptable to him.

At this point, Sherry Jones bluntly said, “Vice President Jones, I am formally appointing Elijah as the vice president of the company now. You have no objections, right?

As for your vice presidency, we’ll hold onto it for now, but I won’t be assigning you any company tasks. Once you’ve sorted out your knock-off company, we’ll reassess your role.

Vice President Jones, if there’s nothing else, you can return to your office and not interfere with the company’s operations!”

“You!”

Will Jones was fuming, his silver teeth nearly grinding to dust. He was like an infuriated monkey, scratching his head and cheeks.

“What goes around comes around! Don’t celebrate too soon! Humph!” In the end, Will Jones left the Jones Group in anger, trailed by Snowden Jones. Seeing this, Ryan also hurried after them.

Phew!

Once she was certain Will Jones had left, Sherry Jones let out a heavy breath, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Clearly, she had to put a lot of pressure on Will Jones just now. Having never dealt with this kind of situation before, it was quite stressful for her.

On the other hand, after leaving the Jones Group, Will Jones immediately brought Snowden Jones and Ryan to the Jones Industrial Group just across the street.

Although they were ordered to stop operating, the offices were still there, and so were the employees.

Seeing the displeased look on Will Jones’s face, the staff didn’t dare to say a word and busied themselves with their work.

Then, Will Jones took Snowden Jones and Ryan straight into his office, slamming the door shut behind them.

“Dad, what are we supposed to do now? Sherry has employees on her side, and she’s got that immortal Elijah helping her, their business will soon be back to normal.

Mr. Weiden only gave us a week. If we can’t get it together ” Snowden asked with some concern.

Ryan stood by the side, silent and a bit uneasy.

Will Jones looked up at them annoyed and said, “What’s there to worry about? What harm can an old fool do to me? If I can play him once, I can play him twice!”

This…

Snowden looked at Will Jones with some confusion,”Dad, do you already have a plan?”

With a dark expression, Will Jones nodded and then sinisterly said, “So what if she has employees? Without business, they’re finished!

I want to see how long a company without business can sustain these people!”

“Dad, after what happened last time, those suppliers and distributors may not listen to us, I’m afraid ” Snowden said with reservation.

Upon hearing this, Will Jones scoffed, “It’s tough to please people, but easy to annoy them! Do I have to teach you this too!?”

Wow!

Upon hearing this, Snowden’s face lit up with understanding, swiftly followed by a hint of delight.

She knew what he meant. Will Jones was telling her to completely alienate those suppliers and distributors, to make them dissatisfied with the Jones Group, and to refuse to cooperate.

Once those suppliers and distributors cut off all ties with the Jones Group, no matter how many employees Sherry had, she wouldn’t have a good outcome!

Without the business, all those employees would become a burden for Sherry.

This time, they would definitely bring Sherry Jones to her knees!
