Chapter 693


    One of his other business partners had used thepany’s shares as coteral for a loan of hundred


    of billion dors. For this reason, thepany was sold and the sale proceeds were transmitted


    directly to the bank. It waster found out that Drake was also responsible for another debt, which had


    been taken out in his name.


    This was the said debt that Arthur had settled up in full.


    Drake was furious but also helpless. There was, however, nothing he could do to change the situation.


    As a result, he had little choice but to ept his fate. On top of that, he had always nned on retiring


    someday.


    “Dad, focus on your health first,” Sophiaforted him. She stood by the handrail on the second story


    and nced down at Arthur working on hisptop downstairs as she spoke. The man seemed so cold,


    stoic, and charming at the same time.


    Up until now, she hadn’t been able to believe that those delicately pursed lips of his had kissed her.


    Anastasia arrived at thepany earlier in the morning to meet a few important visitors. As a jewelry


    designer, she’d always been attentive and patient with clients. Even though she was with a prominent


    status now, she still met with every client and that dignified attitude of hers captivated them.


    In less than a half hour and two cups of coffeeter, she was able to secure nearly 10 million worth of


    custom orders for three prominent women.


    Anastasia was aware that the jewelry market was bing increasinglypetitive. That meant that if


    they truly wanted to break away from their old operating model, they had to go all out at the top end


    and she wanted to build Bourgeois into a top-tierpany in the industry.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    During her time as an employee at Bourgeois, she was aware that thepany had a lot of


    unproductive staff.


    She was aware that the majority of these ckers were executive-levels who received substantial


    perks from their positions without performing any effort.


    With this in mind, she made the decision to restructure the entire organization and redeployment of


    staff.


    Anastasia trusted Felicia, Larry, and Mason the most out of all the employees she knew and they were


    already in the conference room at this stage.


    The process of personnel reformation was quickly brought to a conclusion. The Vice-president was


    held by Larry while Felicia was promoted to regional chief director. On the other hand, Mason was


    given an instant promotion and had the responsibility of running the general business operations of the


    Bourgeois couture line as general manager.


    The first thing that Anastasia had to do was to give them responsibilities that were suited for their level


    of expertise.


    In the afternoon, the executives of the Bourgeois organization underwent a transformation. All of the


    managers who


    believed their jobs were secure and wellpensated were demoted to positions of less significance


    whereas their sries were also based on their sales performance.


    Meanwhile, the employees who had worked earnestly and honestly for thepany were also


    promoted and rehired. For a moment, sounds ofints and rants echoed in the big office of


    Bourgeois while those who were rehired realized at the same time that the top management of the


    corporation had practiced fairness and justice. This realization motivated their strong will to devote


    themselves to their work.


    Once she was done restructuring thepany, Anastasia was looking at some documents in her


    office. Suddenly, she heard Grace’s voiceing from outside and judging from thedy’s intonation,


    she sounded like she was anxiously stopping someone.


    “No, you can’t enter. President Tillman is working.”


    Regardless of what, Grace still couldn’t stop the burly male manager with that petite figure of hers.


    Coincidentally, this male manager was one of those executives who had been transferred from his


    original position.


    Feeling resigned, he pushed open the door and made his way across to Anastasia’s desk. “President


    Tillman, what’s the meaning of this?! I have been working in Bourgeois for 8 years. I’m pretty sure I


    could get some credit for my efforts, but how could you demote me just like that?!”


    Observing the agitated male manager in front of her, Anastasia calmly stood up. She stared at Gordon


    Quigley, the male manager, with a piercing gaze and spoke, “Mr. Quigley, I must remind you that


    Bourgeois will not support idlers from now on. You can submit your resignation if you don’t wish to


    cooperate with this transfer decision. I’m more than happy to receive your resignation letter.”


    “Anastasia, do you think you’re that great? You’re nothing but a mere designer who became lucky and


    able to climb to the


    top. Gordon sneered, after which he quickly added, “All in all, you sessfully seduced a man like


    Elliot just because you have a pretty face. I’m telling you: I have already been holding the position of a


    manager even before you joined Bourgeois! How dare you demote me now!”


    Likewise, Anastasia didn’t intend to pamper anyone in thepany. Therefore, she said coldly, “I dare


    to because I’m the boss of Bourgeois! I have the right to make any decision!”


    “Anastasia, you can transfer me to another position, but I’m not fine with a sry reduction. If you don’t


    implement it, I’ll go on a strike with all my men!” Since Gordon was previously the manager of


    Bourgeois, he had quite a number of subordinates under him.


    “I dare you if you have this ability. We shall see if the evidence in my hand would send you to jail first,


    or your strike wille first.” After she finished speaking, she coldly recounted his charges. “Don’t think


    I don’t know what you have been up to! I have calcted the amount of money that you have illegally


    transferred out all these years! It’s at least more than 8 million, if not 10 million!”
