Chapter 302

Any new leader tends to flex his newfound authority, and lan wascertainly doing that during his first. meeting with his key personnel!Every head of department was sitting with clenched buttocks, afraid tomake a sound.

However, they were just wary of lan since they were not familiar withhim-with Isaac, they were earnestly

reverent instead.

Still, lan was confident after his recent promotion.

“Starting with Finance, everyone will report any noteworthy events aswell as department objectives over the last six months,” he said proudlyand formally from the chairing seat.

However, his confidence proved a little excessive, as the Head ofFinance rose to his feet and gave a lengthy account of everything thedepartment saw through over the last six months.

The long and short of it was that there was no income, onlyinvestments.

“Here's everything on the projects and investments we oversaw in thattimeframe,” he said as he handed a thick document folder to lan, whowas scowling now.

The thick folder itself was a sign that the financial department had beenoverseeing many projects and investments, but none of them wereworthwhile. Since only billion dollar projects or investments required theboard's approval, anything in that folder was below that threshold,meaning that it would escape the board's notice.

After all, when Isaac brought the company to new heights and raked inbillions, they decided to hold blind faith in most of Isaac's decisions.That was why they never inspected anything, and never found outabout the financial outflow and other projects!

And now...

lan was working very hard to stop himself from flipping out at thecrowd.

The rest of the reports from the other heads of department were largelythe same: losses, halted projects, projects that require more capital...There was no good news at all.

Naturally, lan called off the meeting ahead of schedule, and waited untileveryone left and closed the doors behind them before bursting out,"Isaac fucked us over!"

Meanwhile, Quincy had been remaining in her seat, quiet for a whilenow.

She knew that things would be bumpy, but never expected anapocalypse.

“Look, lan-the board doesn't know about this, just as we should not letthem replace out under any circumstances. They'd just point their finger atus, and we won't even have a chance to arque... lve thought about it,and right now, we need to secure a few convincing megaprojects in themeantime to keep their mouths shut.”

lan understood that too, but he had gotten weary after learning howbad things were currently.

Nonetheless, Quincy encouraged him. “Look-we're still managing manyprojects and businesses, so some of it has to be profitable. You're stillyoung, and we have all the time we need. Don't give up just yet.”

lan did not want to admit he was no match for Isaac either, and sodived headfirst with Quincy into solving the mess, attempting to rescueand restore Light Group to its former glory!

1/2

Since they were both busy, their dinner with Robin had to wait.However, Robin herself was starting to get distracted because lan wasnot calling her or seeing her. When she tried to ask him out, he wouldturn her down-which planted the idea in her that lan was dumping himafter taking over Light Group.

As she was having an unhappy cup of coffee at a cafe, Mrs. Watsonand Irene arrived as well.

They were just done shopping at the nearby mall and came for a drink,running into Robin by sheer coincidence.

Irene saw that she appeared downtrodden and lethargic, even startingto lose weight.
