Before they could react, a statement made by the CEO’s office was released on the forum.
There were three main pieces of information in the statement.
First, Steward Group will not be acquired by the Conrad Group.
Second, Steward Group will gradually get back on track. Employees should do their job well.
Third, the salaries in arrears have been paid, and the extra 1,000 is to thank everyone for not giving up
the Steward Group in its difficulties and making progress together with it. Although the amount is not
much, it’s a presentation of the company’s thankfulness.
After all, everyone had waited too long for their delayed salaries. They thought that Stella came here
just to make a show, but they didn’t expect that she would solve everyone's major concern on the first
day she came to the company.
However, after receiving their salary, some people still felt that Steward Group would not make a
comeback and chose to leave.
Actually when Lyndon’s crimes were exposed, many employees had resigned.
Today many people also left the company. Now the Steward Group, which was originally a big
company, only had almost half of the employees left.
Even the company’s building became much empty and quiet.
Standing in the office, Stella looked at the street downstairs, seeming to be thinking something.
Donald's voice came from behind, "Regret it?"
Stella shook her head. "Those who leave now must have the idea of leaving the company earlier. Their
minds are long gone for work. Instead of spending time here, they should find a place that is more
suitable for them. On the contrary, as for those who choose to stay in the company under this situation,
no matter what the reason is, they will do their best in work."
Because everyone knew that this was the most appropriate time to leave the company because it
would be hard for them to laze away in the Steward Group in the future.
It was because of this that those who chose to stay in the company would work harder.
It was safe to say that the survival of the Steward Group was closed related to them.
At least they should work for their future.
Donald said, "I have read the details of those projects, and I will discuss with them one by one later and
tell them what they should pay attention to. However, do you really believe them? If they betray you, do
you know what you will face?"
Stella withdrew her gaze, turned around and said, "Roughly."
"Then you still dare to leave such an important thing to them?"
"But now I can't find other candidates." Stella said, "Moreover, no one is more suitable than them."
Donald frowned. Before he came, he knew that this mess of Steward Group was not easy to deal with,
and now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
Stella said again, "Also, they are not helping me, they are helping themselves."
“Why?”
"They were made the scapegoats of the Steward Group back then and charged with crimes that did not
belong to them. As a result, they were almost banned by the entire industry and could not find any
related jobs. Some of them even went bankrupt. Their relatives were implicated and they were so
insulted by others. Perhaps for them now, money is not the most important thing; instead, the most
important thing for them is to get rid of this stigma as soon as possible. "
Stella continued, "After this matter is over, the truth will come to light. Whether they choose to stay in
Steward Group or go to other companies, they will be the best elites in the industry, and the treatment
they receive will never be bad. So even for their future, they will try their best to help the Steward
Group out of this crisis.”
Donald agreed with her statement.
Although it was Lyndon who made the final decision to make those people scapegoats, Armand and
other people were not innocent. They had experienced other people’s indifference when they were in
difficulty, so they knew more clearly what would be beneficial to them and what they should do.
And Donald also read their information. These people were indeed very capable, but they occasionally
disagreed with Armand on some matters, and they were often tripped by him in work.
If his guess was right, it was Armand who proposed to Lyndon to make these people scapegoats.
He wanted to eliminate his dissidents by this means.
This was good. Those people must hate Armand a lot and in this way, they would try their best to fulfill
the tasks arranged by Stella.
During the next few days, Stella stayed in the Steward Group all day long. She read data documents
every day until she felt dizzy.
When she got home at night, she lay on the bed and didn't want to move. Clarence put his arms
around her waist and laughed, "Why are you busier than me."
Stella closed her eyes and said, "Do you despise me? I am also in charge of a big company now."
“Well. It’s the weekend tomorrow, going out on a date?"
“Nope.”
"Even if you don't take a rest, don't you let Steward Group’s employees have a holiday?"
"I want to go to the studio tomorrow. I haven't been there for a long time."
Clarence licked his lips. "I'm waiting for you."
Stella didn't speak anymore, only breathing evenly.
She had fallen asleep.
Looking at her sleeping face, Clarence felt amused yet helpless. In the end, he landed a kiss gently on
her brows.
Since she didn't have to go to the Steward Group, Stella slept two hours longer than usual and didn't
get up until ten o'clock.
She sat up and stretched out comfortably.
It was really comfortable to sleep late.
Stella opened the curtains and stumbled out of the bedroom. Just as she opened the door, a smell of
smoke greeted her.
She was choked and coughed, waved the smoke in front of her with her hand, and she was sober
because of this.
When Stella walked over, Clarence was coming out of the kitchen with a dark face. His expensive white
shirt was smoked and turned grey.
Stella, “…”
“Are you exploding the kitchen?”
Clarence said blankly, “What do you want to eat? I will ask Nathan to send food over.”
“Er… No thanks. It’s the weekend, oh, please give him a holiday. Let me see what food material we
have in the refrigerator.”
Stella then entered the kitchen. She turned on the cooker hood and opened the window to the largest
extent. After a while, the kitchen returned to normal.
She couldn't help but look at the culprit in the sink.
The bottom of the pot had been burned and was broken. The bowl also became dark and she could
vaguely see come broken eggshells.
Could it be that what he cooked was egg custard?
It was really a challenge for him.
Stella took out a new pot, made a new egg custard and put it on the stove, and cleared the kitchen
again.
When she finished it, Clarence d walked out of the bathroom. His black hair was still dripping water.
Stella said while making sandwiches, "Why do you always have to struggle with the kitchen. Did it
provoke you?"
"I followed the tutorial, why did I fail."
"I guess the tutorial didn't tell you that you need to add some water into the pot when cooking an egg
custard, right?"
Clarence looked at her expressionlessly, "I did it."
Stella turned her head to look at him, and smiled, "How much did you put?"
Clarence didn't say anything as he wasn’t well-grounded.
Stella continued, "Didn't I say that you don't have to go into the kitchen. I will do it."
“You’re so tired recently. I just want you to have breakfast ready when you wake up."
Stella thought she had heard it wrong. It was really not like what a wretched man like Clarence would
say.
Facing Stella's surprised gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Forget it; it's your loss if you don't
have a chance to eat the food I cook."
Stella, "..."
As expected…
