"Quentin is undoubtedly capable, but his approach is excessively harsh. Altering technical plans out of the blue is just one of the issues. Several talented individuals I nurtured were driven away by his behavior. They were performing well, for goodness' sake!"The catalyst for my resignation was a phone call. Quentin insisted that everyone in the planning team, regardless of their position, must answer the phone within three rings or risk receiving a poor year-end review!"Last month, a team member failed to answer his call once, and he terminated his employment! I took more than 20 seconds to respond to his call last month, and he undermined me at every turn! We've been revising plans daily this month, and no new plans have been produced!"What's the point of working under these conditions?"Hearing this, both Eric and Sylvia understood.Eric said, "Your capabilities are unquestionable. Isn't it your team that developed the construction plans for the Westlake data center? I beli

Seeing the unified opposition from the planning team, Quentin seethed with anger."Alright. You think the company can't function without you? Just wait!"He left, cursing.-Meanwhile, in the CEO's office.After watching the planning team's meeting video, Sylvia was furious."Mell, gather everyone in the company's management team for a meeting in half an hour! The managers and deputy managers of the IT department must attend! No matter what they are working on now, drop everything!"Soon, all the Innova Group's management team members arrived at the meeting room.Some were curious about the sudden meeting, as the top executives usually convened. In their impression, the Innova Group didn't have many meetings unless there was significant progress in a big project."What's going on? Why did they suddenly call all of us for a meeting?" a manager asked."I don't know, but I saw Ms. Williams and Mr. Johnson returning this morning. Could there be something big happening? Or maybe t

The high-ranking executives' team remained silent, primarily due to their uncertainty about Sylvia's intentions. They figured that if it wasn't their concern, staying silent was the right thing to do. After all, speaking up might stir unwanted trouble.Even if they didn't offend Sylvia, they might offend Eric, the CIO and co-founder of the Innova Group.Finally, one of the senior executives spoke up. "Since no one is speaking, let me express my thoughts."He had come from Innova Tech, and his high position in the company was a result of the company's recognition of the veterans from Innova Tech. Despite their esteemed positions, they were required to have corresponding capabilities."It's clear that there are issues in Mr. Jones' management approach. The Innova Group has always prioritized its people. I believe an employee should not be measured solely by performance. Performance does not represent everything."Of course, the performance of the project team has always been excelle

At that moment, they finally realized why Sylvia had called this meeting. It became clear that serious issues existed within the management team.In a technology-driven company like the Innova Group, talent was paramount. If mistreatment spread to every department, the Innova Group would suffer a loss of talent.What's even more alarming was that if the Innova Group's reputation was tarnished, no one would dare join them despite the high salary and benefits offered.Sylvia knew this well enough, so she quickly took action."I won't name the person responsible for this. I hope everyone takes it as a warning and never forgets our principles. Meeting adjourned."Everyone quickly left the conference room.Despite Sylvia's seemingly aloof demeanor, the company's top executives were well aware of her capabilities. Managing the company was undoubtedly her forte.Furthermore, the Innova Group wasn't a publicly traded company and wasn't subject to external constraints. Although there wer

Eric and Andy exchanged glances. They were not there for Quentin.Regardless, Andy clarified, "Mr. Jones, we didn't come to find you, nor do we want to cause any trouble for you."Oh, I forgot to mention, I was there when they signed. Ms. Williams instructed the finance department to pay you in full for this month and an additional three months' salary."Quentin was stunned. The Innova Group wasn't obligated to pay him three months' salary since he had voluntarily resigned. He sighed and continued packing his things.Eric and Andy arrived at the project team."Mr. Bikman, Mr. Johnson, why are you here?"Lenny was curious when he saw them approaching.Andy casually pulled over two chairs, sat down, and said, "Just here to see you all. We were all in this together when we founded Innova Tech."Andy, Eric, Lenny, and several others in the project team had all transitioned from Innova Tech.Lenny smiled sheepishly. He felt somewhat ashamed. These incidents probably wouldn't have o

"Connor has recently hit the jackpot. Now, he has a girlfriend and a son. We need to go back for dinner at night as Mom wants us to get acquainted," Eric said.Andy was somewhat familiar with the Williams' situation. Brook was already married and awaiting his firstborn. Sylvester also had a girlfriend, which had left the family concerned about Connor's love affairs. Who knew Connor had a girlfriend and son all of a sudden?"Alright. Let's meet up during the holidays when we return to Nutikiville," Andy suggested.-Later in the afternoon, just after work, Amelia called.Sylvia was a bit unhappy. "Mom, can you give Eric and me some space? We have social engagements and need to visit relatives and friends."She was mainly considering Eric. The two of them needed to socialize. After all, the Innova Group's rapid growth made it challenging for outsiders to schedule meetings with them.Amelia said, "Aren't you back at the Rosewood Estate at night? Fine, I won't insist. Three days! Ca
Chapter 1020
Eric and Sylvia arrived at the Williams residence early the next morning.Queenie's parents arrived around 9:30 a.m., accompanied by a group of people.Ronan Oberdeen and Bianca Abbot were Queenie's parents.Ronan had had a headache since yesterday. The Moores refused to marry their son to Queenie and even cut off all cooperation with the Oberdeens.Ivan speculated it was because of Eric.Amelia greeted them with a smile, but Bianca was pretentious and arrogant. In her opinion, anything outside King City was considered rural, so Amelia was just a countrywoman in her eyes.Amelia hosted them warmly, serving coffee and water, but Bianca pushed the water away and took a sip from her own container."The Williams are nothing special. It's far from King City, and Williams Corp. is not well-known in the country," she said disdainfully.Amelia replied, "We are just doing some small business to make a living."Amelia naturally had her ways of dealing with the arrogant Bianca.Sylveste

Bianca's demeanor greatly angered Connor.Sylvester added, "Queenie, if you don't want to return, just say so. Mom is right. We are a family!"It was apparent that Queenie still harbored fear toward Ronan and Bianca. Perhaps due to their biological connection or the prolonged oppression, a psychological fear had taken root.Yet, Connor empowered her to confront them.She shook her head, declaring, "I won't go back! Why subject myself to confinement and separation from Coulson again? The Oberdeens always mistreat him! I won't go back!""You!" Bianca seethed.She got up, approached Queenie, and raised her hand to strike.Queenie swiftly dodged toward Connor. Before Bianca could land a blow, Connor intercepted."I'm showing restraint because you're Queenie's mother! But don't test my patience!" Connor asserted, pushing Bianca aside.Connor refrained from escalating the confrontation due to Queenie's relationship with Bianca.Bianca couldn't comprehend how her daughter's protecto
