"Thank you!" eximed Rain in exasperation. "In my opinion, the situation in KD Group has be ratherplicated!" It was a rare sight to see the man so frustrated. The chaos in KD Group must have really agitated him.N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    "Well, what else do you think?" questioned Edward. Rain threw him an expectant look. Rolling his eyes, Edward exined, "KD Group is a family business. If you want to have it under control in a short period of time, you''ll need to take down nepotism in the office first." As Edward rubbed his chin thoughtfully, Rain snorted at the proposal.


    "In that case, I guess they''ll just tear me up," said Rain sarcastically. The Ke family''s attitude didn''t go undetected by him. So he could only imagine what trap and challengesy in wait at the KD Group. If there was anything to be learned from his past encounters with them, it was that working there would usher in a regr dose of distress and pressure. What fun!


    "Well, are you going to cower in fear just because of a challenge?" Smirking, Edward turned his head sideways and nced at Rain.


    "You can''t pull back an arrow once it''s shot," Rain scoffed, "Do you think I''d quickly get knocked down?" Before entering the KD Group, he was smart enough to make a detailed investigation on the Ke family''s existing personnel. A man with a n, Rain was more than well-equipped to deal with them.


    "Good," Edward said, "You''ve really got some guts there with you." Grabbing his drink on the table, Edward clinked sses with Rain. A big n seemed to be in order. And all they needed to do now was patiently wait for the perfect time to set it in motion. The Ke family was about to taste the kiss of betrayal. And they wouldn''t know what would hit them.


    "Of course, I''m Rain the Invincible," said Rain smugly. Hearing apliment from Edward himself, Rain couldn''t help but feel a bitcent.


    "Just because I praised you, though, doesn''t mean you should be overconfident with yourself. You shouldn''t underestimate the Ke family!" Then he sniffed and shook his head. "Unless you want to identally fall into someone''s trap." Thepany rtions of the Ke family wereplex. Most of their negotiations were done under the table. And anyone who appeared to be an ally could turn into an enemy the next day. It was better to take more caution.


    "I know that. Do I look like a dimwit to you?" Rain asked seriously. He folded his arms and looked at the floor. "More than anyone else in the world, I''m well aware that they want me dead. So why would I ever be careless?" Back then, his presence meant nothing to the Ke Family. They wouldn''t have bothered to touch him. Things were different now, however. And they saw that he was, in fact, a threat to their personal interests.


    Agreeing, Edward said, "I''m d that you have realized it by yourself. Just don''t forget the fact that you''re also the Vice President of FX International Group." It was something that needed to be said for rity. Although he had allowed Rain to get into KD Group, thetter man had to remember that it didn''t mean he was out of FX International Group.


    "What''s that supposed to mean?" asked Rain. He didn''t like the sound of his voice.


    "You still have to fulfill your responsibilities in the FX International Group," Edward answered casually. On the inside, however, he thought, ''Haha, let''s see if you could remain overconfident with your ns.''


    "What?! Oh no, Edward," whined Rain. He red at the smug man. "Do you think I''m superman or something?" KD Group on its own was enough to take most of his time. With the responsibilities he had in FX International Group on top of that, there would be none left for him to even take a break to breathe!


    "Are you not the Vice President of FX International Group?" Edward retorted indifferently. He couldn''t help it. The man needed a bit of reality check before his ego became his downfall.


    "You''re just taking advantage of me, that''s what," said Rain in frustration. All his time would be devoted to working in bothpanies. It seemed that he wouldn''t even have the chance to drink wine, and that was ridiculous.


    On the second day at work, Rain made big changes in the KD Group''s personnel. People who got their position solely because of bias and personal rtionships were reced by more adept employees. This n of action was bound to provoke some of the affected ones.


    "Rain Xia, what did you just do? Why did you dismiss my man?" One of the first toe knocking on his door was Hannah Zhang. And she was less than happy about his move.


    "From where I''m standing, the capable need to be rewarded and the ipetent need to be demoted. Hard-working employees need to be recognized. I''ve considered it for the interests of thepany," Rain said casually. He looked at her straight in the eyes. Judging by the furious look she wore, he could tell that it was just the beginning of the war he started. Her violent reaction wasn''t unfounded. Rain just happened to have dismissed one of her rtives. And on top of that, someone might have also sneakily called her rtive ipetent. This was just the start of many more oppositions for his business decisions. Indeed, he would be amenable to some revisions, provided that they were backed by sound justifications. If Hannah knew that, would she back down now? He quite doubted it.


    "Interests of thepany? Then why was it just my man who was dismissed?" she snapped. Hannah wasn''t angry because of private interests. The decision just seemed unjustifiable, and she needed people to aplish her delegation. Under those circumstances, anyone would be just as enraged. So Hannah''s reaction was definitely normal.


    "The reason why your person lost his position was that, instead of trying to focus on his work, he was too busy provoking me," responded Rain calmly. "As the president of KD Group, should I have no punishment to him as a warning to anyone who wishes to follow his footsteps?" ying with his signature pen at the tip of his fingers, he gave the woman enough time to let his words sink in. It was a habit that grew more difficult to change.


    "Okay, Rain Xia," said Hannah, finally. She red at him. "Let''s see how long you can keep up with this charade of yours." A part of her believed that she was at fault for forgetting to remind her people to follow the rules during this transitional period. And as a result of her negligence, their careless mouths dragged them directly before the muzzle of the gun, bing the first to be dismissed.


    "Why don''t we just wait and see then!" Rain said unblinkingly. As she was only a woman who came from a slightly rich family, Rain was impervious to her threats. Did she really think that she could run around and demand things just because she was married to a member of the Ke family???????????????
