Naturally, Christopher could sense their disrespect toward him as soon as he arrived. Otherwise, when he arrived just now, these people wouldn’t not even greet him. Of course, what was more important was the three people who had yet to arrive. Liliana had already told them to come half an hour earlier, but those three people still weren’t here, so they obviously had no regard for him whatsoever. “Who are those three people? I want to understand the situation.” Christopher spoke faintly, then slightly narrowed his eyes at the three empty seats. “One is the manager of the human resources department; one is the director of the marketing department; and the other is the manager of the marketing department. Together, the three of them have a total of 10.3% of the company’s shares, so they’re qualified to attend the board of directors meeting too. But, that isn’t the most important thing. The most important thing is that these three people were all sent by the Kelley Family. After I took over Mr. Sandler’s company, I approached the Kelley Family in order to find a stable partner. In some of the important departments of our company, there are members of the Kelley Family. The Kelleys are also in charge of our most important marketing channels. This is the reason why those three people are so arrogant.” When Liliana heard Christopher’s question, her expression turned into one of worry. At the end of the day, the Kelley Family was able to enter the company because of her. She didn’t expect that it would cause such a huge disaster today. Brandon shook out his sleeves when he heard Liliana’s words, then snapped bitterly, “What? You handed all our marketing channels to the Kelley Family? Women! You all have long hair, but you’re all short-witted. That’s the backbone of the company, yet you just handed it over to someone else. What an idiot!” Looking at Liliana, he wanted nothing more than to kill the woman in front of him. She was just ruining his company. When Christopher heard this, a touch of surprise appeared in his eyes. The Kelley family had intervened rather quickly. It seemed that they had been targeting Brandon’s company for a long time, and Liliana had just given them a chance to step in. Right now, the company’s marketing channels were all in the hands of the Kelley Family. In this case, if the Kelley Family suddenly refused to cooperate with the Art and Craft Limited Company, the company would be in trouble. If they stopped operation for ten days, the Art and Craft Limited Company might be in trouble, and they might never be able to find their way out of it. More importantly, if the Kelley Family wanted to destroy the Art and Craft Limited Company, they wouldn’t let them collaborate with other companies. The Kelley Family’s power might not be comparable to that of the Myers or the Dunes, but they could probably crush Brandon. Once the Kelleys took action, they could squash Brandon like an ant. There was no second possibility. However, it was a pity that Brandon wasn’t the chairman, but Christopher was instead. Because of this, the Art and Craft Limited Company would undergo a radical change. “The Kelley Family is quite something. Now, we’ll just wait for the three of them to come here, then we’ll have a proper meeting.” Christopher smiled faintly, as if he was not at all worried that the Kelley Family had a clutch on the company’s marketing channels, or that it would cause the failure of the company’s business to proceed normally. Brandon and Liliana both nodded helplessly. It was useless for them to say anything now, because they didn’t know why those three people weren’t present. Nevertheless, it was obvious that they had begun to oppose Christopher. About ten minutes later, three middle-aged people appeared at the door of the conference room, which brought mild surprise to the crowd. None of the three people wore suits; they were only dressed in simple shirts, and they were all smiling. They weren’t even wearing trousers and leather shoes, but a pair of slippers. Besides Christopher, there was a look of astonishment on the faces of the people in the crowd. They knew that those three people looked down on Christopher, but they didn’t expect them to not even wear suits and proper shoes. This was definitely a huge disrespect toward the new chairman. Ever since they entered the Art and Craft Limited Company, they had never encountered such an occurrence. Yet, they were witnessing it today. When the three people saw the people around them, they greeted them warmly, and their smiles grew wider. However, they acted as if they didn’t see Christopher; they simply shot him a glance before taking a seat. They sat on the chairs, then took out their phones and began to use it like nobody’s business. Watching the scene unfolded before him, Christopher frowned. Then, seemingly thinking of something, his expression eased, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He was almost certain that the appointment of these people was either Luke or Winston’s doing. As for which one of them was responsible for it, Christopher couldn’t figure it out yet. They only dared to be so arrogant because they had control over the company’s sales channels, which meant that they had a hold on the company’s backbone. Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t dare appear in front of him in such a state no matter what. However, it was a pity that Christopher wasn’t buying it. He cast a glance at Liliana, who took the hint. Looking at the members of the board of directors in the audience, she said in a rush, “I’ve asked my secretary to notify all of you about the content of today’s meeting. So, certain information will not be repeated. Let’s welcome our new chairman of the board of directors, Mr. Christopher Yard, to speak.” Clap! Clap! Clap! When Liliana finished speaking, the members of the board of directors in the audience seemed somewhat distracted, but they casually applauded as a formality. As if he didn’t notice any of that, Christopher stood at Liliana’s previous position and looked at the three people sent by the Kelley Family, then announced plainly, “I just want to say one thing now, that is, I plan to fire three people. These three people are the manager of the human resources department, the director of the marketing department, and the manager of the marketing department.” “What!” After Christopher finished speaking, there was a chorus of gasps from the audience, and there were looks of slight astonishment on their faces, which soon turned into sneers. Some people couldn’t be fired so simply, because once they were gotten rid of, the entire company might collapse. For instance, the three people whom the new chairman had just mentioned. When Brandon and Liliana heard his announcement, they appeared shocked as well. He’s really firing them just after a slight disagreement? Isn’t he being a little too rash by making this decision?
