Wendy gazed at Jasper worriedly as she
said, “Don’t be reckless. I think we should
discuss things with Harbor City before
deciding on how we’ll deal with it.”
Jasper shook his head and said, “Harbor City has coughed up practically all its resources, so I’m not planning to look for them regarding this matter. They’ve always given JW Company protection before this. I think it’s time JW Company repaid that favor.
“Here’s what we’ll do. Take our plane back to Nauritius later and gather all the company’s resources, especially the ones that have to do with real estate. We’ll prepare ourselves to enter Harbor City’s stock market at a moment’s notice.”
Harbor City had a well-developed economy, and it relied heavily on their estate market.
This could be seen from the number of millionaires who had earned their fortune through dabbling in real estate.
Thus, the real estate market would be one’s top choice if they wanted to assist their economy.
“Enter Harbor City’s stock market? We don’t have the financial assets to do that,” Wendy said.
Jasper chuckled and replied, “Who said we’re going to take over the whole stock market? What we need to do now is buy a
piece of land from the Nauritius government at a suitable time and loudly proclaim our plans for a huge construction project. JW’s branding is strong enough to act as a support pillar for many things now. As long as we continue showing our favor towards Harbor City’s real estate, their real estate market won’t collapse.
“If their real estate market doesn’t
collapse, their finances will be fine.
“Moreover, both Fongroup and Hope Group have a stronghold in real estate. They wouldn’t dare allow anything to happen to Harbor City’s real estate market no matter how much they hate me. If they did do that, nothing much would have happened to me before they went
down first. We have to attack their main industries if we want to attack these three corporations. We can target Fongroup and Hope Group through the real estate market, but as for Sawyer Atticus, I’ll
have to think of something I can do to the
rubber market.”
Wendy felt much more at ease when she saw how quickly Jasper had come up with a strategy.
“Alright, I’ll go and make the preparations now, but…”
Wendy seemed hesitant as she said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to work with Sean with regards to the real estate market.”
“What’s happened to Sean?” Jasper asked
as he frowned.
His sharp eyes had noticed something odd
in Wendy’s expression. Wendy sighed and said, “I demoted Sean.”
Jasper was stunned.
To be fair, as managing director of JW Company’s real estate group, Sean’s position in the hierarchy was only slightly lower than Wendy’s, who was the CFO. Moreover, Wendy was mainly in charge of financial matters and did not need to be in charge of human resources.
Moreover, Jasper had signed an agreement for Wendy to be the president o fJW Company so she could take his place i n managing the company while he was busy with the stock market. By right, Jasper had no position in JW Company as o f now.
However, everyone still knew that Jasper was the boss, and Wendy was the co-boss.
The couple had the same amount of
power, and this was just so they could
implement executive orders in a more
systematic, logical, and legal way.
However, Wendy would not have utilized her power in managing human resources unless it were a major emergency where she had no choice. Not to mention, the person she demoted was Sean Tucker, an integral member of the company’s group o f directors.
Moreover, Sean was a talent that Dawson himself had sent over from Schuler
Group. In some ways, he was someone with ties to Wendy’s family, so why did she demote him?
Seemingly sensing Jasper’s confusion, Wendy explained, “There was a company scandal last week.
“It happened in the real estate department. A high-ranking vice president brought a female employee along to meet clients and took advantage of f her drunken state to touch her inappropriately. Thankfully, the female employee struggled hard, so that… didn’t happen…
“The female employee lodged a report to the higher-ups at the company, and she also made a complaint to Sean. However, Sean did not want the issue to have an even greater impact than it already had and chose to ignore it. It resulted in the issue gaining even more attention, and rumors began spreading outside.”
Jasper was even angrier now than when h e heard how the three companies were working together against him.
“What *sshole vice-president is that? He answers to Sean Tucker, doesn’t he?”
Jasper was a smart man. He had long
since gained a thorough understanding of the kind of person Sean was. He was talented, and his morals were
alright as well. His main problem was that
he was prone to covering up mistakes.
Sure enough, that had caused Sean to get
into trouble.
“Yes.”
Wendy sighed before she continued saying, “I only learned about this when the police informed me. So, I fired that vice-president, and I got Sean to take a month’s leave to self-reflect.”
“Wow, it’s just been a few months since I stopped paying attention to the company, and we have a rapist now! Thank God no sexual activities were actually carried out. If not, I would be happy to deliver him straight into jail myself!”
”
Jasper was so angry that he began
laughing.
“Do these b*stards think they’re above
the law now just because JW has made it
big?”
Jasper was so angry that he wanted to
grab Sean and slap him across the face.
“This is no longer an issue of business management, nor is it an issue of dividing factions. They’ll become criminals if this goes on!”
Furious, Jasper said without hesitation, ” Hand that vice-president over to the police, let them deal with him. As for the affected female employee, visit her on my behalf and send my regards. Do your best t o satisfy whatever demands she may have.
“As for Sean Tucker, send him to Nauritius to work in the sales department. No one is allowed to give him special treatment unless I say so. Anyone who gives him special treatment can go work a s a sales employee alongside him. If he thinks he’s being treated unfairly, he can screw off.
“JW will never allow something like this t o happen, be it in the past, the present, or the future. Anyone who does this will be handed over to the police immediately . Also, send a notice out to all the employees at headquarters and also our branch companies from the president’s office.
“From today onwards, every employee will have the right to refuse an offer to attend a business meeting with their senior, regardless of position or job scope. If they feel coerced, they can report the employee anonymously. The president will be in charge of processing these reports for the time being, but we’ll establish a department dedicated to managing this shortly.”
