The gentle morning sunlight passed through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, staining the whole room with a golden warmth. The warmth of the room was warmed up. The bed, which occupies almost half of the room, is occupied by a handsome man lying on his side with his left arm stretched out to cushion the fresh-faced woman, while his right arm is slightly stretched out in front, just wrapping around the woman’s slender waist.
The fluffy soft quilt half covered the two saw a small figure squeezed between the two of them, showing only half a head. It seems to be a cute little boy, it has curved black hair red lips, clear intestine fine eyelashes like butterfly wings soft fluttering, in the sunlight rendering, jagged out of the broken glory.
He beamed and arched his mouth towards the woman’s arms. The woman seems to have sensed something and seems to be awake. The hand is habitually holding the quilt upward, and then drifting back to sleep. The sunlight reflects on the velvet bed curtain, warm light points gently swaying, dappled color chaos out of the room fragrance.
When Brayden opened his eyes, this was the sight he saw. It was as if everything was frozen for a moment, and the best thing in time was when I woke up in the morning and found the sun and you all around me.
Brayden smiled softly. A good family is really the fading agent of all the troubles, even if the Kirkland Group is now in deep trouble, he still feels like the happiest man in the world every morning.
But God is too jealous of his good life, so he must use this method to break Brayden’s good life peace. The phone kept vibrating at his bedside, and Brayden picked it up and saw that the scattered bits of sleep had vanished into thin air. He sat up sharply, lifted the covers and rushed out of the room.
What’s wrong? Dolly was awakened by Brayden’s sudden rise, and she rubbed her eyes, sleepy-eyed. Could it be that Orion had wet the bed again? Dolly got up from the bed and tucked Orion in, then carefully got out of bed.
The more things she encounters these days, the more she panics, and the more that familiar intense unease spreads through her mind.
Halfway through the day she heard Brayden’s voice ring out and she heard him say calmly, “The fifth branch, acquired by Gale Technologies.”
She had heard so many of these words in the past few days, “Gale Technologies”, “acquisition”, “branch”, that she was allergic to each one of them. She felt a sick feeling inside for no reason.
Brayden had already put on his formal clothes, and he stood in the mirror tying his tie, thinking only that it was good that he hadn’t made a mistake, without the slightest leisure to fix his attire as he had done before.
“I have to call a board meeting, things must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible, we are just too passive now.”
Directors’ Hall, Brayden suits, sitting in the first place, gloomy face, as if there is a big dark cloud over his head, the long deliberative table on both sides, there are ashen face of the lower managers, there are low contemplation, a calculating white bearded shareholders, and sweat like rain to sneak a look at the crowd of small assistants …
“I’m sure we’ve all heard about Gale Technologies’ acquisition of our branches over the past few days. But Gale Technologies, which has never cooperated with us, suddenly has the ability to acquire our five branches in one go. The secret of this is the purpose of this board meeting that I want to hold today.”
“Ah, yesterday it was not four branches, how today there became five?!”
The employees at the bottom of the table were already whispering and talking.
Brayden cleared his throat and tapped his hand smoothly on the antique brass desk, which quieted the meeting. He always carries this aura and circumstance that makes people unruffled.
“Mr. Kirkland is doubting the loyalty of the board of directors?” A big-bellied old director was full of disdain, thinking that he had followed Kirkland Group for most of his life and naturally did not think much of the young president.
“I am not doubting everyone here, Kirkland Group’s salary is high and low in the same industry, and also the level of operation over the years, I think everyone is witnessed, I will not casually doubt anyone, after all, this is a legal society, what is said and what is done is to have evidence… …”
Brayden’s words took a sudden turn: “But who is innocent, you all know. Those who are clean will be clean, and those who are dirty will be dirty.”
“Hm. The old director’s face was not good. A large Kirkland Group, the strength is so huge, even the branch, the strength is also not to be underestimated. The entire group, up and down, which person is not a reserved career? I think Mr. Kirkland needs to review himself!” The old director spoke with conviction.
Brayden in the heart can not help but sneer: “Mr. Brooks, should be the company has worked hard for so many years, I naturally respect, but I hope Mr. Brooks also want to be clear about a truth, now is no longer on the age of seniority of society. Age does not mean strength.”
Brayden took his eyes off him and raised his voice a degree: “Of course I have absolute confidence in the financial strength of our company, but a thousand miles of dike collapses into an anthill. This time, five branches were acquired, we must find out which part of Kirkland Group actually let someone exploit the loopholes!”
“These days constant investigation and tracking, we found that these five acquired branches have a common feature, that is, their internal information was leaked, I hope you can all stand in this perspective to think about the problem this time, at the same time, to strengthen the monitoring and supervision of various departments of various information, to avoid making information leakage, such things happen again! ”
Mr. Kirkland, I also hope you can be clear about this, our The board of directors has the power to impeach a president with poor performance at any time, Kirkland Group has not encountered such a crisis since its inception, not only Mr. Kirkland should reflect on themselves, our board of directors naturally also has the responsibility of not assisting Mr. Kirkland … “The old man looked askance at Brayden and slowly spoke out. The tone of voice is gentle and elegantly worded.
Under the table, Brayden secretly flushed the palm of his hand, he must not let Kirkland Group in his own hands destroyed once, he can not be sorry for his father’s hard work to build a mountain.
Nor can he be sorry for the expectations of all those around him who care about him, and what he has to prove more than anything is his own words: “Age does not mean strength.”
