Chapter 84 The Bandits
“Mr. Sean.”
In the office, someone shouted subconsciously.
Amanda Jewell and Joleen Lewis turned around at the same time and saw Olinka Fane and Halley Sean standing side by side at the door.
“What are you doing here?”
Upon seeing these two people, Joleen’s face immediately became stiff, “Halley Sean, are you here to pick a fight?”
Halley glanced at her and said, “Joleen, don’t you poke your nose into other people’s business. It’s not easy for an outsider like you to establish yourself in Ducco. How dare you fight against me with Amanda Jewell? Aren’t you afraid of ruining your own future?”
“My future is not up to you to decide.”
Olinka said contemptuously, “Miss Lewis, don’t be unreasonable. Halley is doing this for your own good.”
Joleen directly retorted, “What right do you have to speak here? Who do you think you are?”
“You!”
Halley stopped Olinka from arguing with Joleen.
Amanda looked at them coldly. “Mr. Sean, are you here today to congratulate me on the opening of my company? Why didn’t you bring flowers?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“A company that can’t last more than half a year doesn’t deserve flowers. Why should I bring any?”
“Watch your mouth!”
“Joleen,” Amanda pulled her back and responded, “Did you come here just to argue?”
“I’m here to see who is blind enough to come here to work for a newly opened real estate company without any financial support.”
With that, Halley’s gaze landed on everyone in the office.
Halley was their boss, and the Sean family was influential in Ducco. If they offended Halley, they would probably not have a good life. Most of the employees of the Sean Group lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly at him.
“Actually, I’m a very generous person.”
Halley went straight to the office and said unhurriedly, “Our Sean Group is such a big group. We won’t just stop the business without you guys. But sometimes I’m also very narrow-minded. For example, I don’t like others to steal my things.”
Amanda asked impatiently, “What do you mean?”
“What Halley means is that as long as everyone is willing to return to the Sean Group, the Group will open its doors to you. Halley also said that everyone has made so many contributions to the Group, and the salary should have risen. I planned to wait until the end of the year, but I didn’t expect that everyone would be so anxious.”
Olinka’s voice echoed in the office. She stood next to Halley, looking like the president’s wife. “As long as you’re willing to go back to the company, your salary will be increased by 50% and your annual bonus will be doubled.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the office fell silent.
The power of money was terrifying. As long as one had enough money, anything was possible.
These people came here not just because they maintained a good relationship with Amanda, but because everyone wanted a better future.
Joleen’s expression changed. “How can you do this right here at our own company? You’re going too far!”
Halley glanced at her and said with a fake smile, “Joleen, you could do so much with your money, why did you choose to start a new company with Amanda? Why don’t you come to our company? I’ll give you the position of Chief Financial Officer. You can get an annual salary of 100, 000 Dollars. If you’re not satisfied with it, we can talk about it.”
Joleen angrily replied, “Do you think everyone wants your money?”
Halley couldn’t be bothered to talk to her. “Even if you don’t care, there are plenty of people who do. If you want to go back to the Sean Group, come with me now. The real estate industry is not in a good condition now. Can small companies even survive? Huh…”
Amanda was not angry. Instead, she chimed in. “Indeed, Safe Home Real Estate has just started, and I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult at first. If anyone is interested in the salary offered by Mr. Sean, you can follow him. It’s understandable.”
Someone had already stood up in the office.
Halley was extremely proud of himself.
However, the person who stood up said, “Mr. Sean, your offer may sound nice now, but your future will be ruined when we return to the Sean Group.”
“That’s right,” someone echoed, “didn’t we leave the Group just for a good future? The Sean Group is in such a mess now, how can it have a future?”
The others nodded in agreement.
Halley’s face immediately turned stiff.
“Are you all blind? The Sean Group is such a listed company. How can a small company compete with it?”
Olinka said grumpily, “Open your eyes and take a good look. Mr. Sean has personally invited you back. You should be so honored.”
Mr. Ewell said with a cold face, “We really didn’t ask for this.”
Mr. Ewell had always been respected among this group of people. He gave Olinka a cold look and said contemptuously, “Mr. Sean, I’ve been in the Sean Group for years. When Old Mr. Sean was still alive, he single-handedly promoted me. I have to remind you that you’re ruining the future of the company by making Olinka Fane the general manager.”
Olinka gritted her teeth and said, “You’re talking nonsense. I think you’ve been drugged by Amanda!”
“Halley, they bullied me because of my young age. What I did was for the good of the Group.”
Mr. Ewell’s expression remained unchanged. “Ever since Miss Jewell left the Sean Group, all the departments of the company have undergone a drastic change. Many people have been transferred from their original positions, and the project has been a mess. The managers don’t trust us, and people are not united. There’s nothing we can do. This is why we resigned.”
“What’s with all the nonsense?” Halley interrupted impatiently, “Fine, you’re all not coming back with me, are you? You’ve made up your mind to hang yourself on this tree! Fine!”
He clapped his hands and shouted behind him, “Where are they? Come in!”
Everyone was shocked and looked at the door.
Amanda and Joleen saw it just then. Halley and Olinka didn’t come alone. They had brought seven or eight people with them. They were standing in the corridor, dressed like gangsters. They were just like the two hooligans who demolished the old city area.
“What are you going to do?”
“What are you doing?” Halley raised his voice and said, “Smash everything!”
Seven or eight big men immediately rushed in with sticks in their hands and began to smash wildly without saying anything.
The tables, chairs, and computers were smashed into pieces one after another.
“Oh my god!”
The people in the office were all elite white-collar workers. They had never seen such gangsters before. They were all frightened, and the girls directly screamed.
Joleen, who had never seen such a scene before, turned pale and subconsciously protected her lower abdomen.
“Be careful.” Amanda pulled Joleen and retreated a few steps to avoid the flying sawdust. The two were protected by other employees.
“Call the police! Hurry up and call the police!”
Just as Mr. Ewell was about to call the police, his phone was snatched away by two burly men and pressed onto the table. He screamed in pain as his glasses fell to the ground and shattered under his feet.
Halley arrived in front of him.
“Halley, what are you doing?” Amanda scolded him. “If you dare to touch even a strand of Mr. Ewell’s hair, believe it or not, the police will arrest you and send you to jail!”
“Prison?” Halley glanced at her, straightened up, looked around, and said lightly, “I was just passing by and came to congratulate you. I didn’t expect to see someone smashing your company. What does it have to do with me? Do you have any evidence to prove that it has anything to do with me?”
The office had not had time to install cameras yet. As Halley said, there was nothing she could do.
Halley grabbed Amanda’s arm and said sarcastically, “Are you still calling the police?”
