Chapter 1667 Change a Name
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Clayton finished those words, turned around, and left.
Clayton did not care that the old man’s face turned white. The old man’s breathing also became rapid.
Many of the people here were just there to watch the drama.
However, once they are targeted, would they really dare to fight against Clayton’s people?
The acting president got up and chased them out.
The rest of the people were starting to worry about their own situations.
To be honest, they could not afford the consequences of checking the accounts.
It would turn out to be very bad.
Back then, someone persuaded them.
They dared to do so because Clayton had shifted his focus to Mediania, and he had given up control of Sloan Corporation.
Now, it seems that this was not the case at all.
The rest of the people began to be apprehensive. “What should we do? Should we still resign?”
“I still need to feed my family of five! If I really resign, how can I feed them? Should they go hungry? Is it too late to take back the resignation letter?”
“Should we go to Mr. Sloan now to make it clear that we didn’t know about this matter? I’ve been very cooperative with the new boss…”
“I have several projects on hand that are about to get bonuses. Would that all turn to dust now?”
“Shut up!”
The old man bellowed. His face was extremely glum.
He was so angry that he got up and left.
The rest of the people looked at each other and did not know what to do for a moment.
The acting president caught up with Clayton. “Mr. Sloan, can we talk for a moment?”
Clayton paused and looked at the time. He still had some time.
“Sure.”
They went to the President’s Office.
The acting president poured Clayton a cup of coffee, handed it over, and smiled.
“Thanks for coming over in time today. Otherwise, I really won’t know how to cope with all this.”
Clayton expressed his understanding. “Your professional ability has always been excellent, and you’re very experienced in handling the company’s affairs. But the relationship within Sloan Corporation is complex with too many interests involved. Once you hold back their interests, they’ll definitely retaliate. This is something I’ve anticipated long ago.”
“It’s better if you can stay in person. Once the company is on the right track, everything will b e fine.”
The acting president sighed.
The most difficult thing was not expanding the business but internal strife.
The interests involved in Sloan Corporation were so complicated, which was completely different from the modern management style.
Otherwise, the acting president would not be so distressed.
Clayton paused. “I’m not interested. I have more important things to do.”
The acting president blurted out. “Like making your girlfriend happy?”
He looked at Clayton meaningfully and smiled. “Mr. Sloan, you’re quite the romantic. I guess it’s true that even heroes have a weakness for a beautiful woman’s charms.”
Clayton shook his head and helplessly pinched his nose bridge.
“My girlfriend is much more important than this nonsense. I’m not going to waste time on these things.”
The acting president said, “Well, that’s easy for you to say. For salarymen like us, we need to work to survive. Mr. Sloan, I have to remind you that once they leave, the company will really come to a full stop. The consequences may be even worse than you think.”
Clayton fumbled with his cufflinks and thought for a few seconds before he spoke in a low voice.
“Take this opportunity to change the name of the company as well.”
The acting president’s face changed. “You mean…”
Clayton lowered his head and let out a cold laugh.
“You and I both know how many shares the Sloan family has in this company. To be honest, even if we change our name to Stanton Corporation, it’s not that outrageous. But Stanton Corporation is not willing to take over this mess, so they don’t really want to care. They threw
in billions of dollars here just to vent their anger. Let’s change our name and start over. As for how long we should suspend operations..
