The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 148 Needless to say, Bruce must be behind this too.

“If he wants me to die, there are too many despicable methods that he can use,” thought Joanna.

“How much stock do we have now?” she asked Luna.

“We only have enough for this quarter. We don’t have any supply for the next quarter, so we have to find a new supplier!” Luna answered.

“Okay, | understand!” said Joanna.

After saying that, she ended the call.

Jaydon asked concernedly, “Joann, what happened?” Joanna sighed. “The Stark Group cut off the Haynes Group's supply!” “So what do you intend to do?” asked Jaydon.

“Now, we can only try to find a new source of goods as soon as possible!” Joanna said, Joanna paused for a few seconds and sighed. “If it really doesn’t work out, I'll call the president of CI Technologies again to see if there's still a chance of us cooperating.” Jaydon frowned when he heard that. “Actually, Cl Technologies isn't a good business partner. David isn't a good person.” Jaydon had heard that David had gotten a beating from Bruce before, so Jaydon could roughly guess what was the reason for Joanna's sudden predicament.

Joanna said, “I'll just give it a try first! If it really doesn’t work, I'll handle the research and development by myself! “However, if | do this, the cost is too high. If | don't succeed, | might really go bankrupt!” Jaydon smiled and patted her shoulder gently. “It's okay. Even if you go bankrupt, you still have me! “Although | can't help you much, at the very least, | can help you to raise funds.” Although Jaydon could not provide her with connections in business, the Grimm family was still one of the top tycoons in Venturas.

He could take out his liquid funds at any time.

The next day.

This was Joanna's fourth day in Porash.

In the four days that she was not in Greyport, the Haynes Group’s internal structure changed drastically.

Early in the morning, Joanna's phone started vibrating.

Joanna answered the call. “Hello, Luna!” Luna's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Miss Haynes, hurry up and return to Greyport!” “What happened?” Joanna asked.

“Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul are throwing a tantrum. They want to fire the few research and development personnel you brought over from Melta!” Luna reported.

Joanna was shocked to hear that. “What's the reason for that?” Fri, 30 Ju Chapter 148 When Joanna joined the Haynes Group, she brought a group of staff with her. A few of them were research and development engineers who she had spent a lot of effort to poach over.

Luna reported, “Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul said that their salaries are too high for the company to support! “They said that these personnel has been here for four to five months and hasn't created any profit for the company!” Upon hearing that, Joanna said, “All right, | understand! “I'll go back to Greyport this afternoon. Inform the board and management that there'll be a meeting tomorrow morning.” “Yes, Miss Haynes,” said Luna.

Joanna had just hung up when the director of the finance department called again.

He reported, “Miss Haynes, the funds for the Porash’s factory has been cut off.

“We still need to pay over 2 million dollars for the new equipment. The supplier is about to ship the equipment. We have to transfer the money to our account quickly...” “Got it,” Joanna said.

After Joanna hung up the phone, she had a headache. She felt like she was besieged on all sides.

The next day, Joanna rushed back to Greyport.

At eight in the morning.

Joanna rushed to the company.

At 20 minutes past eight, Roger, Paul, and the rest entered the conference room.

Joanna's expression darkened. “I heard that you want to fire some research and development engineers, Mr. Roger and Mr.

Paul?” “That's right! People who are just here to make up the numbers must be fired,” they demanded.

Joanna was so angry that her heart clenched in pain. She looked at the two of them with a dark expression. “I brought them back from Melta, so we can't fire them...” Paul said, “Ha, that's easy for you to say! The company pays them but they don’t do anything at all! “They're just lazing about Roger also said bluntly, “You're behaving so foolishly. If this continues, what will happen to the company?” Paul chimed in, “He's right. Such a high salary is enough to hire three to four people with the same ability! “These people can't stay in the company any Joanna took a deep breath and tried to convince the two of them. “They can't leave. The benefits that research and development personnel can bring can't be seen in the immediate future. It can only be my unit to a paypaleen in the future...” Paul sneered and said disdainfully, “What development “Or are these people your cronies? Did you | can there be? What benefits can they create for the company? Weliberately use t Joanna said, “They're all top-notch research years, half a year, or even ten years...” company’s money to subsidize them?” | development techs from Melta. It takes time to develop a project! It might take one year, two “Oh, so you're saying that we have to hire a person and train him for eight to ten years before he can create benefits for the company?” Chapter 148 “That's not what | meant!” Joanna said.

“Then what do you mean?” they asked.

Roger and Paul deliberately opposed Joanna because Bruce had instructed them to do so.

In short, they only needed to do one thing. Their goal was to get Joanna removed from the board of directors.

Seeing that she could not convince the two of them, Joanna could not be bothered to argue with them anymore. “Okay, let's not argue anymore! “Since you don't want them to stay in the Haynes Group, I'll let them work in the factory in Porash! “Will that do?” Roger shrugged. “Oh, in that case, we have no objections. After all, your factory in Porash has nothing to do with us! You can pay them however much you want.” “All right then, today’s meeting is over!” Joanna announced.

“Wait a minute! The Stark Group has cut off the Haynes Group's supply. How are we going to resolve this?” “That's right. We won't have any goods to sell next quarter. Where can we find a large supplier at such a critical juncture?” “I'll think of a way!” Joanna sighed.

“What can you think of?” the two men questioned.

Joanna choked in anger. “Then let's all think of a solution together. Both of you are also the company’s directors! Now that something has happened, you can’t expect me to take sole responsibility for it.” “Ha, but you're the executive director of the company, and the leader of the company. On top of that, you're the largest shareholder of the company. If something happens to the company, naturally, you have to take responsibility!” Joanna was so angry that she was speechless. She did not know how to refute them.

These people wanted to enjoy the luxury and benefits that the company brought them, but they were not willing to stick with the company through thick and thin! Some time back, when the Haynes Group was doing well, everyone was willing to do anything for her and all of them tried to curry favor with her.

And now, as soon as the company encountered an obstacle, they did nothing except for blaming her.

Joanna did not want to work with such people anymore! Unfortunately, she did not have that much liquidity on hand now, so she could not buy the shares in their hands.

Under Bruce's instructions, they made things even more difficult for her! Halfway through the meeting.

Cora knocked on the door and entered. “Miss Haynes, Mr. Everett is here!” As she spoke, Bruce appeared at the door of the conference room.

As usual, Bruce was dressed in a proper suit. He looked energetic and carried an air of nobility.

“Mr. Everett is here!” Roger and Paul were still acting arrogant just now, but now that they saw Bruce, they immediately became subservient to him.

All of them nodded and bowed as they stood up to welcome him.

Fil, J Chapter 148 Bruce strode into the conference room. His sharp gaze swept past everyone and landed on Joanna.

“Miss Haynes, you're really a busy person! It's really difficult to meet you,” said Bruce.

As he spoke, Bruce walked over to Joanna's side.

He placed his hand on her chair, leaned over, and stared at her with a suggestive look.

“Mr. Everett, this is a board meeting. Please behave more seriously!” said Joanna.

“How am | not serious?” Bruce's handsome face had a sinister and dark look.

Joanna's heart sank. “Please sit down!” Bruce looked up and said to everyone, “All of you, leave first!” “Oh! Okay, sure!” everyone said.

“Everyone, wait a moment. The meeting is not over yet. No one can leave!” Joanna quickly stopped them.

“I said the meeting is over. Everybody out!” Bruce hollered.

“Yes, Mr. Everett!” Roger, Paul, and the high-level executives did not dare to listen to Joanna's orders at all. They hurriedly stood up and left.

“Are you satisfied now, Bruce?” Joanna asked.

“Not really. I'll only be satisfied when you're completely defeated and tram pled by everyone!” Bruce remarked.

“Bruce, what grudge do you have against me? Why are you targeting me like this?” Joanna asked.

“There's no enmity between us!” Bruce answered.

When Joanna heard this, she was so mad that her eyes turned bloodshot. “Then why are you being like this?" “It's because | like it. Money can't buy my happiness, but this can!” Bruce replied.

“You...” Joanna gritted her teeth in anger.

At this moment, if she could transform into a ferocious beast, she would sink her teeth into his neck and snap it in two.

This vile bas ta rd was really infuriating!
