Chapter 197 Promoting From Within

Upon seeing Jared sitting down at his desk, Zayne went berserk. “Hey, Jared! How shameless can you be? What are you still doing here?”

“I’ve never seen such a shameless person! You’ve been fired, Jared! Leave!” Lydia mocked while laughing sinisterly.

“Exactly! Just leave! Don’t be such a bad vibe in the sales department!”

“Are you worried that you can’t find another job? Why are you refusing to leave?”

“I’ve never seen such a shameless person who refuses to leave even after getting fired!”

Everyone in the sales department mocked Jared while fawning over Zayne.

“Don’t worry. I’m not staying in the sales department.” Jared gathered his belongings and headed out.

“Jared, wait up!” Hilda chased after him.

Although she had been angry at Jared, she couldn’t bear to see him leave. “Jared, if you’re leaving, I’m leaving too! It’s such a lousy company, anyway.”

“Don’t be rash. I’m not leaving the company entirely. I’m just leaving the sales department. You should stay! It’s not a lousy company. It’s just Zayne being a pain in the *ss.” Jared smiled.

“Oh? So you’re just going to work in another department?” Hilda was stumped.

“Well, you can say that!” Jared nodded.

Knowing that Jared was still going to be around, Hilda didn’t say another word.

“Jared, do you need my help to find a new job?” Maria approached him and asked.

“Thanks, but that won’t be necessary!” Jared left after that.

Zayne let out a long sigh of relief upon seeing Jared gone. I’ve wanted you gone for a long time now! You’ve always been against me in every single thing. Now, no one is going to stand against me.

“Get back to work, everyone. Stop discussing the issue surrounding the general manager post. Whoever the headquarters sends here, we’ll be all right as long as we stand united!” Zayne told the rest after Jared left.

But not long after everyone had gotten back to their desks, the secretary of the general manager arrived at the sales department.

“Mr. Carlson, Ms. Sullivan is here. She wants everyone in the conference room. She has an announcement to make,” the secretary said.

“Ms. Lane, is the announcement regarding the appointment of our new general manager?” Zayne asked with a smile.

“Should be!” She nodded.

“Do you know who has Ms. Sullivan brought along for the announcement? Is the person a man or a woman, Ms. Lane?” Zayne was eager to find out more information about his future superior.

“Ms. Sullivan came alone!” Amelia responded.

“Ms. Sullivan didn’t bring anyone?” Zayne paused for a moment and asked, “Is Ms. Sullivan not going to appoint someone from the headquarters?”

“No. Ms. Sullivan is promoting from within. Go and gather your staff, Mr. Carlson. Head over to the conference room as soon as possible.” Amelia then left right after she spoke.

Zayne was stunned. He furrowed his brows as he walked into the office. Then, he announced to the others, “Drop whatever you’re doing. We need to go to the conference room.”

“Mr. Carlson, is this regarding the appointment of our new general manager?” one of the staff asked.

“Yes. Ms. Sullivan is here for that.” Zayne nodded.

“Mr. Carlson, who is it? Is the person a man or a woman?” Lydia asked anxiously.

“I don’t know, but the person is not from the headquarters. I heard it’s a promotion from within,” Zayne answered with a puzzled tone.

Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked. Discussions among themselves followed. “Who else in the company is qualified to hold the general manager position?”

“I think Mr. Carlson is qualified! Our department has just secured a contract with Cosmic Chemical. The headquarters must’ve known as well!”

“I also think that Mr. Carlson is the right person for the job. A general manager needs to know our products inside out. Who else knows the best, if not the Manager of the sales department?” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Carlson, you mustn’t forget about us once you’re made a general manager!”

Everyone started fawning over Zayne as if he had already been appointed the position.
