Chapter 4
I laughed and shook my head.
Mia's face darkened, and she was about to speak when Leo smiled and said:
"Brother Jack, why are you being like this?"
"If you didn't plan to hand over the client information, why did you come?"
"Don't tell me you're here to work?"
His words drew laughter from other colleagues.
I raised an eyebrow and nodded: "I am here to work."
At this, the onlooking colleagues burst into laughter, pointing at me:
"Work? He's probably here looking for a job, thinking he can sneak in now that our company's been acquired!"
"Isn't this just dreaming?"
"Jack, weren't you going abroad? How come you're applying to our company now? Haha!"
I was about to speak when Mia interrupted with a gloomy face:
"Jack, when will you ever stop!"
"I told you to give the client information to Leo, I was already giving you a chance. You're still being stubborn?"
"Didn't you understand what I said yesterday? Do you really want to be unemployed?"
I shook my head helplessly:
"Mia, you're the one who's about to be unemployed. You'd better make plans early."
Mia looked at me and suddenly laughed mockingly:
"Look at this Jack, has he gone crazy? Telling me to make plans?"
"What, I'm the former boss of this company, you think you can fire me?"
"Jack, I bet that with me here today, you won't even be able to get a job as a janitor..."
Just as she was speaking, two people walked in through the company's main entrance.
It was the people Mr. Quinn from headquarters had sent to help me reorganize the company.
Mia recognized them, her expression changed, and she quickly put on a smile to greet them:
"Mr. Higgins, you're here. Has our new CEO arrived? I should go welcome him."
Mr. Higgins glanced at her without a word, walked straight to me, and respectfully nodded.
Then he introduced to everyone:
"This is our company's new CEO, Mr. Lee!"
For a moment, the smile froze on Mia's face, and she asked unnaturally:
"Mr. Higgins, you're not joking, are you?"
"This Jack is just a useless coward, how could you..."
Suddenly, Mr. Higgins took out the layoff list I had personally made yesterday and slammed it in her face.
Pointing at her and Leo, he said coldly:
"You two are fired. Pack your things and get out now!"
