Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1670 Family (Part One)

After leaving the cafe, Rain didn't return to FX International Group. Instead, he chose to cruise straight

to KD Group, because William had given him a call saying that Hannah had called many of her

supporters together in order to coerce Rain to reinstate Cyrus back in the head office.

"Mr. Xia, thank God you've arrived. Their foolish acts are ruining the company to the extent that the

day-to-day affairs of the company are in peril," William received Rain and alerted him in a hurry. His

arrival had been anxiously awaited by William for a while now. Situation had been spiraling out of

control and the situation demanded a man who could take charge in order to ameliorate this disaster.

"When did they initiate? Why wasn't I informed about this sooner?" Rain asked in an enraged tone

while striding himself into the company, with the heavy smell of gunpowder still persistent on his face.

He cursed them in his heart for not letting this body to gain a pinch of meaningful rest.

"At the outset, we were under the impression that we had the situation under control. But later, all of us

came to the conclusion that it has spiraled beyond our hands. We decided unanimously to maintain

restraint considering your family relations with them and leave the decision to your wisdom," William

explained while rushing to keep pace with Rain.

However, the heavy footsteps of Rain echoing across the corridor ceased abruptly as soon as he heard

what William had just said. Turning around and keeping a cold stare on William, he whispered slowly,

as though he was dropping the words one by one, "They are not my family. I don't want to hear anyone

saying that ever again."

After uttering that, he walked straight into the elevator, without caring to pause for at least a moment.

William struggled awfully to catch up with Rain. He knew that Rain wasn't so fond of the Ke Family, but

he hadn't expected that he loathed them to this extent.

As soon as he arrived at the top floor, Rain heard a pang of hubbub. It seemed to him that he had just

landed at the epicentre of terrible scene in the making. Rain twisted his eyebrows into a clean furrow.

The apparently short limits of his temper were being put to test today.

"Everybody please calm down. The CEO is here," William yelled, suppressing the slurry of noise.

In an instant, every pair of eyes in the room shifted to focus on Rain. Seeing his cold yet handsome

face, the accessory perpetrators of this troublesome incident hid their face in an alarmed state.

"It seems that you've enjoyed yourselves while I was absent from the company for a short period. I

can't help but wonder who the brilliant organizer was, or should I say, conspirator?" Rain asked with a

sly smile on his lips while glaring at several members of the Ke Family, who he believed had never

done any work blamelessly in their entire lives.

"Before you turn all authoritarian with your questions, you may just have to calm down. First of all, let

us ask you a question. As the CEO of KD Group, do you think it is morally right to go to FX

International Group to lead their work instead of working here? Are you worthy of our trust?" Eugenia

took the lead in launching an attack, without the shadow of the last bit of fear seen in her eyes. She

was still and firm as a rock.

"Trust, wow... I'm amused by the way you people manipulate the situation. I assume that according to

you, this is the way to express your trust in me," Rain clapped his hands to applaud in an apparent

appreciation to them, filled with frozen sarcasm.

"Do not try to deviate from the real issue in question. Since you are not competent to continue as the

CEO of KD Group, we all strongly feel you should quit so that someone competent can take up this

job," Hannah said, or perhaps yelled. In order to expel Rain out of the company, she had to ignore her

previously held enmity towards her colleagues in order to rally more support for her cause.

"I see. Is that your ultimate aim? But unfortunately, I'm not so much of a feeble person as to help you

achieve that aim. I won't just surrender when you put down the white flag of peace. Therefore, I'm

afraid that your wishful thinking will remain grossly unsatisfied," Rain answered. He realized that as

long as any member of the Ke Family existed in the company, he couldn't dream of living a peaceful

life. Perhaps, it was high time for him to consider the various means in his disposal to weaken their

power and reputation in the company.

"Despite occupying the chair of the CEO of KD Group, he is still in charge of the business affairs of FX

International Group. How can we justly believe that he has no selfish motive? I wonder whether he

delegates any business belonging to the KD Group to FX International Group from behind the curtain,"

Vance blurted out in a fit of rage towards the CEO. It looked like the perfect opportunity to force Rain to

abdicate the CEO position while Sanford was absent from S City.

"Mr. Ke, when you wish to tell a joke the next time, please tell a reasonable one. Do you really think

that in the current situation KD Group is qualified to be mentioned in the same sentence alongside the

FX International Group?" Rain asked. The reason why he chose to say that was not because he

wanted to legitimize himself once again, but because that was exactly the harsh reality. Perhaps KD

Group could have been counted as a competitor to FX International Group ten years ago, but in recent

years, KD Group's performance had shrunk badly.

"Finally you seem to walk on the path of honesty! In fact you look down upon KD Group with disgust.

Everybody please listen to what our most respected CEO thinks of this company carefully. While he

manages KD Group with such a mindset, how can we put our trust in him to carry the company forward

to greater heights?" Vance said with a gloomy face. He still hadn't accepted that such a legitimate son

as him could not beat a bastard.

"Vance is right. The CEO of KD Group goes so far as to look down upon the company under his own

management. He insults and rebukes us. Working underneath him will only render disasters to this

company."

"Right! So we require the dismissal and replacement of the CEO. I'd consider transferring Cyrus back

from the branch office as a good option."

"Otherwise, it'd also be wonderful to let Vance take up the position."

Hearing their discussion, Rain stood still with a faint smile on his face. Like a flock of sheep without a

shepherd, they had earned the guts to provoke him. It appeared that they had saved enough money

and it was time for them to go back home and live on their own fat.

"Do you really want me to quit even at the cost of an imminent collapse of the KD Group?" Rain didn't

give a damn about the position of KD Group's CEO, because even if he resigned from KD Group, he Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

was still the Deputy CEO of FX International Group. But KD Group was the institution wherein he had

left so many footprints altogether. He didn't really feel like the writing on the wall had appeared asking

him to quit.

"Stop exaggerating the situation beyond our wildest imagination to freak us out. You seem to think that

the entire operation of KD Group relies on you solely," Vance smiled, without giving a definite answer.

He didn't believe Rain was indispensable for KD Group.
