Chapter 412


    Maja Pennyfeather leaned back in her chair, squinting her eyes.


    “Are you ready for this?”


    Tom quickly gathered his notes, then started his summary.


    He was in his fifties that year, but his mind was still stuck in the past.


    More urately, most of those senior managers had followed Neil Pennyfeather from their beginning


    as a smallpany. Their mindset could no longer meet the needs of the Pennyfeather group.


    After hearing those guys‘ opinions, Maja raised her eyes.


    “We may not have any orders in the next six months. You guys have been in this industry for so many


    years, don’t you have any other business connections?”


    Even a small order would do.


    But no one answered.


    Maja had a deep understanding of those peoples‘ capabilities.


    They grew with the Pennyfeather group from a smallpany; their mentality had changed. They


    always treated the young ones with arrogance. Therefore, any innovative ideas from the youngsters in


    the Pennyfeather group would be vetoed by those old employees.


    Neil was also on their side.


    So, for all those years, the Pennyfeather group had kept its traditional business model.


    She took a deep breath, “Tom, Matthew.”

    She named eight people in one breath, “I’ll have HR discuss your severance pay. Considering the


    years you’ve worked at the Pennyfeather group, the amount I’ll offer is double that of other


    Tom’s eyes widened; he thought he heard wrong, and he immediately stood up.


    What the hell are you trying to do!”


    Maja called out to the outside, “Come in.”


    Soon, twowyers walked in.


    “These are mywyers. If you have anyints, you can talk to them directly. I guarantee the


    severance pay won’t disappoint you.”


    She slowly stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room.


    “Actually, what you guys have done over the years is enough for me to sue you. But considering you all


    are old friends of my Dad; I don’t n on doing that. I hope you understand the benefits and damages


    here. Whether to ept thepensation and resign or let me have thewyers gather evidence and


    send you to jail; the decision is in your hands.”


    She picked up a file next to her, ready to leave, but the meeting room was already in an uproar.


    Tom saw her determination, a hint of resentment shed in his eyes.


    “Maja, at least give me some time to ept your terms.”


    Maja stopped, turned back and looked at the people she had named.


    “You mustplete your resignation handover within two days. Also, I’ve arranged a meeting with the


    president of Silverstone Enterprises tonight. Since our previous partners no longer cooperate with us,


    we should step out of ourfort zone and find new partners. I hope those who stay can work


    sincerely with me.”


    She nodded slightly and walked straight to her office.


    The office was originally Neil’s, with a vintage style everywhere.


    Although this vintage style might seem outdated, it actually had its charm.


    Maja had the cleaner change the chair and disinfect the room before she was satisfied.


    But for some reason, she felt like she had seen the cleaner somewhere else before.


    However, the cleaner kept her head down and worked diligently.


    So, Maja didn’t think much of it.


    She did need to meet with Judson, the president of Silverstone Enterprises. In fact, Nathan had


    previously called her on behalf of Silverstone Enterprises, but she couldn’t make it due ton


    Raymond’s interference. Now was a good chance, and she could also use that opportunity to push for


    cooperation between Silverstone Enterprises and the Pennyfeather group.


    That was taking advantage ofn, but Maja felt it was fair.


    She worked until evening, then went to Greenfield Gardens tomunicate with the workers, ensuring


    it could bepleted by the end of the year. She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately drove to the


    ce where she had arranged the meeting with Judson.


    This time it was Judson’s treat, he chose a high–end restaurant that required a long time to book in


    advance.


    Judson lit up when he saw Maja.


    “Penny, you’re getting more and more beautiful.”


    Her hair was cut short and tied back into a low ponytail, revealing her smooth neck. She looked both


    simple and beautiful.


    She sat at the head of the table and looked at the two men standing up.


    “Are you guys starting the report early? Let’s start with Tom, then.”


    Tom was suddenly lost for words, stunned by her sudden entrance and imposing presence.


    She seemed like apletely different person from just a few days ago.


    She used to be formidable, but her long hair made her seem more like a beautiful woman men wanted


    to conquer.


    Now with her short hair and simple beauty,bined with hermanding gaze, she was even more


    intimidating than Neil.
