Mysterious Mrs. Pansy

Patrick’s father rushed to the company when he heard about the urgent situation.

The gentle and understanding person who was once the mother of his grandson had changed. Her methods in handling company affairs had become cruel, causing a wave of negative public opinion.

She had also ruined the careers of many artists.

“Is this approach worth it? I feel like this will make it difficult for Patrick’s company to continue standing in the future,” Patrick’s father expressed his concern.

“I also saw the department’s announcement. Being summoned for questioning is definitely not a good thing. You need to be careful,” he advised Jane.

Jane nodded. She respected Patrick’s father’s words, but still believed she had not done anything wrong.

“I was just using the most reasonable means of retaliation. We will treat others as they treat us. That will never change,” she defended.

“Now that everything has settled, there’s no use saying anything. I will handle the department’s matters, but I won’t let Anthony’s company off,” she added.

Upon hearing Jane’s words, Patrick’s father knew his advice was futile.

Furthermore, when it came to matters of the entertainment industry, he did not understand how to manage them. He only knew basic business strategies and felt that her approach was inappropriate.

For a company to have a sustainable future, it needs to unite not only its internal employees but also its external partners. This requires an integrated approach.

Jane’s actions pushed certain external partners further away and made some problematic companies wary of collaborating with Patrick’s company.

It was certain that these companies would not hesitate to strike when Patrick’s company encountered any issues.

This commercial war easily led to the downfall of the company, and Patrick’s father, having experienced this numerous times abroad, felt the need to warn Jane.

He expressed all this when speaking to her. However, Jane simply nodded as she had done before.

“Father, I understand the situation. It’s all over now, and I won’t continue to expose any more scandals. Besides, the department has already questioned me!” she assured.

“I don’t regret my choice this time. If I didn’t act this way, more people would have targeted Patrick’s company. I can’t allow any problems to arise within the company,” Jane said firmly.

Patrick’s father nodded. Indeed, this action had made the people within Patrick’s company more united.

Now, the people who were willing to leave had left, leaving behind those who were reluctant to go. Their decisions, although they might have been morally ambiguous, were beneficial to the company.

Patrick’s father then advised Jane once more.

“Patrick is now too busy to deal with these matters, especially the reorganization of various departments and other company issues. He needs to handle these personally,” he said.

“I don’t know how Patrick feels about it, but I know that if it were up to him, his methods wouldn’t be as forceful as yours,” Patrick’s father added, still disapproving of Jane’s approach.

However, knowing that the situation was now unavoidable, he left after a few words.

Jane thought for a moment. Regardless of whether her actions were right or wrong, as her father had said, turning back was no longer an option.

Moreover, she believed that she had done nothing wrong. Two days later, Jane sat in the office of the department responsible for questioning her.

There were about ten young people conducting the interview, as views on matters within the entertainment industry differed with age.

Only with a forward-thinking perspective could one manage these matters effectively.

“Sorry for calling you here today, but there are some things we need to verify and ask you about,” Mr. Holden, one of the interviewers, said.

He then introduced Mr. Blackwood and explained that they would be the ones asking the questions, while the others would handle documentation and record-keeping.

The first question, of course, was not about the competition between their companies. Although they might not understand such business competitions, they knew that they had to abide by the law.

Jane was taken aback by the question. “According to our notice, any information should be reported to us immediately. We want to know why you did not report it to us first and instead posted it online,” Mr. Holden asked.

Jane had no choice but to respond. “I wasn’t aware of the notice. I had just recovered from an illness when I experienced the situation at the company. Even if I had known, I would still prioritize protecting the company first,” she explained.

“The other party’s business competition methods are like this, so we used the same methods. We only retaliated in kind.”
