    Technically speaking, after Simon lost his position as the chairman, there was no other position left in


    Sachs Enterprises for him. But he pulled together other directors and confronted Cordy, forcing her to


    give him the position of general manager in Sachs Enterprises on the basis that he had been managing


    thepany all along, while Cordy seldom came to the office and it would not be ideal to hire a


    general manager externally.


    Cordy did not reject his suggestion, for there was no need for her to. As Simon had a significant portion


    of thepany’s shares, he would certainly put in his best foot forward in managing Sachs


    Enterprises.


    Of course, that was what she had thought. Unfortunately, Simon was truly incapable.


    “Yes?” Simon said in response.


    He had never shown Cordy much respect, be in small or big meetings.


    He continued to remain stuck up and prideful.


    “Compared tost month, your KPI targets have dropped by 3%. How did you arrive at 3%?” Cordy


    asked.


    “Don’t you know the current market situation very well. Chairman? The fact that our traditional


    businesses suffered a mere 3% drop in such terrible market conditions is already an astonishing feat.


    This is especially sopared to ourpetitors who saw an even greater drop in their performance.”


    “But based on what I know, Davis Corporation which also operates traditional F&B outlets and hotels


    saw a 5% increase this monthpared to thest,” Cordy refuted.


    “How can wepare to Davis Corporation? Are we even at the same level? We manage fairly-priced


    restaurants and chain hotels with four stars or less. Davis Corporation, on the other hand, operates


    higher-end establishments. Bothpanies are on different levels and we shouldn’t beparing


    apples and oranges!” Simon countered.

    “So, President Sachs, don’t you have any ounce of desire to improve? Have you never thought of


    bing as impressive a conglomerate as Davis Corporation?”


    “Are you kidding me? Davis Corporation has been around for over a century. The foundation it has built


    up over the years is something we cannotpare with. If you want to measure us against other


    people’s standards, you’re just being idealistic and unrealistic. Chairman Sachs, you onlye to


    office once a week and have no clue about the internal situation and operations of thepany. Don’t


    just shoot your mouth off and make yourself the butt of everyone’s jokes.” Simon mocked Cordy in front


    of everyone, giving no regard to her pride and dignity.


    Cordy did not mind as much. She said leisurely, “Nothing is impossible. Back then, Starstream Group


    was nothingpared to Sachs Enterprises, yet now, it is operating at a scale that Sachs Enterprises


    cannot even imagine. And do you even realize that it took Starstream Group a mere three years to


    achieve that?”


    Cordy’s words embarrassed Simon to no end.


    Cordy was now someone renowned in North City, well-known as a powerful businesswoman, an


    entrepreneur…she had countless glorious titles to her name that she could barely keep track of..


    Simon was rendered speechless.


    He could only say through gritted teeth, “Since you’re so impressive, why don’t you give it a go?”


    “If I had to be involved in everything, what’s the point of your existence, President Sachs?!” Cordy said


    sarcastically, “Or are you saying that you’ve reached retirement age…”


    “Cordy Sachs, stop trying to force me into a corner. I am the general manager appointed by the board


    of directors, not someone you can just fire as you wish.”


    “I don’t have the intention of firing you at all. I just hope that you can lift your standards a little and stop


    fixing your eyes onpanies that aren’t doing so well. We have over a thousand employees in our


    company. As the leader of thepany, we should be thinking about how to increase their sries and


    make their lives better instead of constantly retrenching our people and reducing their sries in order


    to cut costs,” Cordy said aggressively as she flung the human resources report on the table.


    Simon’s face darkened with displeasure.


    Yes, in order for thepany to breakeven, he reduced manpower costs by retrenching staff and


    cutting their sries.


    He did not expect Cordy, who only came to the office four times a month, to notice that.


    “Of course, I’m not objecting to your approach, President Sachs. In times of losses, retrenchment and


    sry reduction at an appropriate degree can help with motivating staff and making them work harder.


    But if the leadership does not have good structures in ce and the employees end up all stressed and


    up to their necks in work, it would end up pointless as well. The key is,” Cordy said as her voice sank,


    “our employees’ sries have dropped by 5% on average, yet our senior management’s sries have


    risen by 3% fromst year. To be honest, I truly don’t understand what your objective in doing this is,


    President Sachs?!”
