Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 229 Grant Your Wishes

Hearing their words, Gerald frowned deeply.

Business can be cruel and deceitful.

Gerald brought such a big project for the Maddox family, which could help Ingrid’s fashion brand rise.

They also knew that the Wisdom Group invested nearly 20 of the shares of Ingrid’s studio!

With the support of a rich family like the Maddox family, Ingrid’s brand might be on the market in three to

five years and gain great success.

As the person in charge of this project, he chose to be an ordinary staff in the Sales Department. This

made the entire department very envious!

It was not particularly difficult to do it. This position would offer a large sum of money and an opportunity

to enter the company’s upper echelons in the future.

Everyone wanted to get it.

However, this project was brought by Gerald, and Catherine was personally appointed by Gerald. They

could not do anything.

But today, this opportunity came.

Catherine’s father came to the company and made a scene, which attracted a lot of attention.

They could take advantage of it.

Catherine was an ordinary staff at that time. She had just been promoted because of the last deal. They

had enough reason to get Catherine fired. As for who would take Catherine’s place, those team leaders

should have the greatest chance.

Therefore, they plotted in private and decided to get Catherine out!

There were nine groups in the Sales Department at the headquarter of the Wisdom Group. Even if

Gerald was dissatisfied, he couldn’t punish nine groups at the same time.

So, they proposed this idea.

Jenny frowned and said, “We need to discuss it before we give you the answer.”

At this time, one group leader called Adler Dale said, “I don’t want to work with this kind of person.

If her father exposes this to the media, it will ruin the reputation of the Wisdom Group. If…

Catherine stays, I will quit my job!”

“So will I!”

All of a sudden, all the team leaders took a step forward at almost the same time!

Some staff in the Sales Department also stood up. Gerald looked around and found there were around

thirty–four of them.

The others only sat there silently.

Since Catherine could get this project, the others thought that they could have it too. This was a great

chance to please Gerald.

They didn’t want to lose this chance.

They could become rich overnight!

Maybe Catherine would get expelled in the end and be miserable.

But what did it have to do with them?

This is the business. Everyone fought for themselves!

Jenny frowned. “What are you doing? Are you forcing me now? I’ve said that we will give you an answer

after some discussion! I know exactly what you are planning. Let me be clear. Even if Catherine can’t get

this project, it won’t be your turn! Gerald is still here!”

Nick retorted, “This has nothing to do with the project. I just don’t want to work with people with a

problem of character. This is my principle!”

“Yes, a problem of principle!” Adler also said.

Gerald was amused by them. It was funny that these people mentioned principle, especially Nick, who

looked so righteous. If he didn’t know Nick well, Gerald would believe what he said.

Jenny did not expect that there would be so many people. She could not help but look at Gerald.

No matter what, the project of the Maddox family was brought by Gerald.

“Is there anyone else who wishes for Catherine to resign?” Gerald rubbed his nose and looked at the

people in the Sales Department.

The others were silent. When Nick and the others saw Gerald ask this, they felt pressure for a

moment!

But now that they had done this far, they could only stick to it.

With that question asked, no one else stood up. They just sat there, silent.

It was not that they did not envy Catherine, but they did not want to offend Gerald.

“So, it’s just you guys, right?” Gerald looked at Nick and the others who were standing.

Nick gritted his teeth, “I know Catherine is beautiful, but she is beautiful for nothing. In the past, she

could lure Jeff to help her survive in the company. Gerald, you are young. Don’t fall for her

trap!”

Gerald smiled and ignored his words. He then said, “Since you wish to resign, then I will grant your

wishes. You resigned voluntarily, and everybody saw it. You can go pack up your things and leave the

company. And there will be ten job openings for team leaders. We can pick some excellent staff from the

salespeople. As for the other openings, we can hire some new people. Now we focus on the project of

the Maddox family, which does not have a high demand for sales staff. Besides, we can use people from

the branch companies.”

Speaking of this, he looked at Nick with a significant smile and said, “Do you think that you will not get

punished when you are together? You think too highly of yourself.”

Nick’s expression changed. He said, “Gerald, you are just an ordinary employee. What rights do you

have to let us go!”

Gerald didn’t pay attention to him. He looked at Jenny and said, “Ms. White, make a list about who is

standing. They can leave now. I will let Mr. Thomas know.”

Jenny looked at Gerald blankly, then nodded. “Will Mr. Thomas agree?”

“He has no reason to say no. Just do as I say,” Gerald said calmly.

At this time, someone started to panic. Then, some of them wanted to sit down quietly before anyone

saw them. They didn’t want to get on the list.

The staff in the Wisdom Group, especially the Sales Department and the headquarter, were treated

very well.

They would only be willing to stand up because they thought there was a chance for them.

But now, Gerald’s firm look made them feel afraid, so they couldn’t help but want to quit the game.

Only Nick and the others still stand still. Adler looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, you must think you’re

so powerful. If you are powerful indeed if you are rich, why do you come to our company? I don’t believe

that Mr. Thomas will fire us, and it is not your turn to point fingers at the Wisdom

Group!”

Gerald didn’t want to talk nonsense with these people. He looked at the people sitting down and

said, “I know some people sat down just now. Everyone can report on these people. With fewer

people in your group, your chance to become the leader is greater. Ms. White, you can count them and

tell me later. I need to go to the office first!”

“Jerk!” Nick gritted his teeth and said.

Gerald didn’t even bother to look at him. After nodding goodbye to Ms. White, he walked out of the Sales

Department and headed towards the conference room!

Jenny gritted her teeth and walked into the office. She took out a notebook and started to write

something in it.

“Ms. White, what do you mean? That’s nearly 40 people leaving. Has Gerald so much authority?” When

Nick saw that Jenny was taking it seriously and counting them, he panicked.

Jenny did not say anything. She said calmly, “Anyone can report to me if there was someone in your

group who stood up but didn’t get counted. You are always welcome to my office. Gerald is right. The

more people were leaving, the more chance the rest of them can become the leader.”

After that, she walked back to the office.

Benefits were always the greatest motivation for humans. Before long, someone got up and walked

towards the office with gritted teeth!

Seeing that, Nick and the others changed their faces more drastically.

“Don’t worry. I don’t believe that Gerald would be capable of doing that. This is 30 to 40 people leaving,

most of whom were team leaders. The company can’t bear such a loss!” Adler comforted him.
