Chapter 108 Need To Sharpen Character
When Christopher arrived at thepany, he was blocked by Kendrick’s secretary. He did not even get
to go to his office and was summoned to Kendrick’s office.
When the secretary knocked on the door and went in, La was also there. She seemed to be
discussing something with a serious expression on her face, but when they saw Christopher, the two of
them
immediately stopped.
The secretary said, “Mr. Kendrick Sce, Ms. Sce, Mr. Christopher Sce is here.”
Kendrick leaned against the back of his chair with his hands on the armrests and stared at Christopher,
who was at the entrance, for two seconds. Then, he said, “You may leave now.”
The secretary nodded and left, not without closing the door.
Christopherzily walked to the U-shaped couch and sat down. He nced at them from a distance
and greeted La before he turned to Kendrick, who sat behind the desk, and said, “Mr. Kendrick
Sce, are you looking for me?”
Kendrick was expressionless and only tapped on his wristwatch. “Look at what time is it.”
Christopher nce at the time and said, “It’s 11.50 a.m.
Kendrick said, “So you know it’s already 11.50 a.m. Didn’t the personnel from the HR department
yesterday tell you about thepany’s working hours?”
“They did.” Christopher raise his eyebrows and said, “It was from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with a two-
hour break in between. It was also said that it’s consideredte if within 30 minutes. If it’s within 15
minutes, then the fine is 7 dors and 50 cents, but if it’s between 15 to 30 minutes, then the fine is 15
dors. Beingte for more than 30 minutes will be counted as absenteeism, and the number of hours
of absenteeism will be multiplied by three. I’mte for more than two hours today. Let’s round it off to
three hours, so that’s nine hours’ sry that’ll be deducted. And also, if the person is absent from work
more than three times without any reason, they will be dismissed.”
Speaking of this, he smiled at Kendrick. “Oh, by the way, I have been absent from work more than
three times without reason, so I will be dismissed.”
“You remember very clearly.” Kendrick could not help but sneer, “Christopher, are you that certain I
won’t do anything to you?”
Christopher propped his legs on the coffee table, “Mr. Kendrick Sce, I only promised you to join
Sce Corporation, but I didn’t promise you to follow your requirements and standards.”
La chuckled and shook her head.
However, Kendrick told Christopher, “There was an emergency meeting just now. The branch manager
of Sce Corporation Romdale Branch had some physicalplications and needed surgery. It will
take about half a month, so the headquarters decided to have you temporarily rece his position.”
Christopher nced at Kendrick briefly and leanedzily on the couch. “I won’t go. Anyone else can go
if they
wish to.”
Kendrick reminded, “Christopher, you can turn this down, but then I’ll have to talk to Ms. Livingstone.”
Christopher’s gaze turned dark, and he gave Kendrick a half-smiling look before he suddenly said,
“Fine, I’ll go.”
It was only for half a month anyway.
“When is it?” Christopher asked.
Kendrick said, “Next Monday. Later, I will tell my secretary to contact the branch manager of Sce
Corporation Romdale Branch. Over these two days, he will proceed with the handover process. You’d
better take this job seriously. If anything happens to Sce Corporation Romdale Branch during your
term, you will be fully responsible for it.”
Christopher sneered, but he did not say anything else and only asked, “Is there anything else?”
Kendrick said, “Go back to your office.”
Christopher got up and left.
When the door was closed, La frowned and looked at Kendrick. “Are you really leaving the Romdale
branch to Christopher?”
Kendrick said, “Do you not believe me or him?”
It was not that La was distrustful, but she always felt that Christopher had never had experience in
company management. Even if he founded Glory Corporation, the management was still left to a
professional manager.
However, La understood Kendrick’s intention.

Sce Corporation had a history of more than 200 years. Every term was always seeded by the
eldest son of the family. Although it guaranteed that Sce Corporation would continue to prosper to a
certain extent, the speed of development had obviously slowed down after the setback in this century.
This was especially true due to the scientific and technological revolution, where the situation of various
industries had changed.
Both Kendrick and she tended to be conservative in business philosophy and were greatly influenced
by their father, Zachary. If Sce Corporation were to make changes, it had to break through the
current situation and bring in new blood.
Alex was too young. It would take at least 20 years for him to grow old enough to bear the burden of
Sce Corporation.
The situation might change a lot in 20 plus years, and Sce Corporation could not afford to gamble
on this. However, Kendrick saw hope in Christopher’s Glory Corporation.
Perhaps Christophercked experience inpany management, but he had a unique vision. In recent
years. almost every project invested in by Glory Corporation was profitable. Setting aside the small
projects, allrge projects could only be invested in after receiving Christopher’s approval.
At present, although Glory Corporation was still vastly smaller than Sce Corporation, it would take
no more than ten years, or possibly a shorter time within five years, for Glory Corporation to surpass
Sce Corporation.
Kendrick said, “He seems like he’s always idling around all day, but he’s actually very sharp. You’ve
underestimated our younger brother.” He paused for a moment and continued in a deep tone, “But he
still needs to sharpen his character.”
La did not expect Kendrick to give Christopher such a high evaluation. When she thought of her
previous concerns, she could not help but smile. “You’re right. Chris is the most quick-witted among the
three of us.” Especially when they were younger. Christopher had been a mischievous kid since a
young age, but they had no way to deal with him.
Kendrick only managed to force Christopher to follow his wishes now after ckmailing Christopher
with his weakness.
La remembered what she had talked about with Kendrick earlier and said, “I’ve already contacted
Annabelle. I’ll go back to Juxshire this afternoon.”
Kendrick pondered for a while and said, “Go and arrange it. I’ll have dinner with her tonight. Youe
along too.”
La nodded, “Okay.”
In the afternoon, Yorick, the person in charge of Sce Corporation Romdale Branch, contacted
Christopher and sent thetter a list of work handovers as well as various follow-up work and projects.
This was so that Christopher could have a general look at them first and contact him if there was any
confusion.
Yorick was in his forties. When Zachary was still in office, Yorick was already transferred to Sce
Corporation Romdale Branch. It took Yorick nearly 20 years to be the top leader of the branch
from a project manager.
Now, a young man in his twenties came to rece Yorick directly. Even if it was Christopher from the
Sce family, Yorick did not take it seriously in his heart.
He had heard many rumors about Christopher. In short, Christopher was just an irresponsible yboy.
Yorick even could not help but wonder if Christopher could understand some matters on the work
handover
list.
ww
However, unexpectedly, he received a call from Christopher less than two hours after the job handover
list.
was sent out.
“Mr. Foster, is this how your branch works?” Christopher spoke.
After reading the work handover list and other documents from Yorick of Sce Corporation Romdale
Branch, Christopher sneered on the phone. “I had a rough look. Many of the projects that were followed
up on were fromst year or even the year before, which had long exceeded the nned period.”
