Chapter 366

---- Chapter 366 Wallace , the marketing executive , was the first to voice his opposition. "Ms. Holt, regarding your proposal to partner with e-commerce platforms, I believe your prices are too high. This should be reviewed further, so I suggest postponing any decision until next year." Giselle nodded with a half-smile that didn't reach her eyes. " So what you're saying is that the e-commerce rollout won't be possible this year, and we'll talk about it next year instead? "That's right." To Wallace , she was just a novice.

He had no intention of carrying out her proposal and would love to delay it for as long as possible. "How about the rest of you?" She turned to the next person witha smile. The executive of the R&D department, Jared Harden, lifted his hand lazily. "I have concerns as well." "Go ahead." Jared, a man in his 40s with a habit of pulling rank, spoke next. "Your proposal to develop new medicines in the second half of the year isn't realistic, as we don't have enough manpower. "On top of that, the technology behind these products isn't mature. Frankly , the market demand isn't here.

At most, we ---- can guarantee one new tetracycline-based product." "Alright. I understand." Giselle's lips curved ina cold smile as she nodded. "Next." She asked the third person to speak. Soon after, Sean Moore, the finance executive and the procurement executive followed, each presenting their opinions. In truth, all they did was reject Giselle's new policies by stalling indefinitely or insisting on sticking to their old plans, treating her as if she were invisible. After half an hour of listening to nothing but objections , the room finally fell silent.

"Is that all?" Giselle picked up her cup, drank a large gulp, and sat up. Her gaze swept slowly across the attendees' bitter expressions. Then, she dropped the courteous , modest demeanor . When she spoke again, her words carried the domineering authority of a CEO. "Everything you've said has been recorded. Thank you for admitting your mediocrity . Effective immediately , Wallace, Jared, Sean, and Keith will each be demoted two levels, and their salaries reduced by 20 percent for defying orders and failing in their duties." The entire room froze as their faces filled with shock.

Some hadn't even processed what she said. "Carlos Elliot and Charlie Glenn are fired for failing to attend ---- this meeting without cause, a clear violation of company discipline," Giselle declared in her second announcement. After she was done, she coldly turned to the HR executive and ordered, "Issue these notices within the company immediately . Complete all necessary personnel procedures within the day." The HR executive was taken aback and asked hesitantly we need to notify Mr. Kane about this first?"
