His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 421 - A Change (One)

"Mr. Shen, are you threatening us?"

The man seated on a single couch had gathered the courage to question Vincent. Looking at the man downward, Vincent opened his mouth and roared.

"Threaten? Are you questioning your new CEO after you were caught gossiping about his private life? Whose wife are you dishing? Isn't mine? Locked her up and kept her on the bed? Who's husband would ignore after he found out that my company's directors actually had dirty thoughts for his wife? Not to mention she is your boss!"

"Mr. Shen, it doesn't mean that you were married to the queen of this empire. You will claim it as yours?"

"Exactly. I'm married to the queen, so then, it makes me the king."

Someone from the seven men snorted and said, "Even in the royal families. There are times that the queen's husband is not qualified to be crowned as king. Unless you are a king yourself, Mr. Shen."

'Yeah. I'm not a king because I am from the Imperial bloodlines! I am an emperor myself!' Vincent clenched his teeth as he snorted inwardly.

Too bad the Imperial era in C Nation is long gone! He could not boast about that anymore to face slap this group of fools.

Lifting one brow upward, Vincent curled his lips into a mocking smile as he answered, "The last time I told my wife that Davies Corporation is never mine, she gave me a sour face. She scolded me for thinking that everything she owns is not mine. Now, what do you think my wife would feel if she would hear what you said, Deputy Director Webb?"

Director Hayes didn't respond but rendered his silence. Also, the other men lowered their gaze, embarrassed by what Vincent had remarked a while ago because it was the truth that they went overboard in gossiping about a sensitive topic which they are known as leaders of the company.

Now, they can no longer retort when Vincent overheard them giving out improper thoughts about their lady boss.

They cuss inside their heads as they were not careful of what topic they should have discussed. This time, it was their fault for not minding where they were at the moment and the possibility someone overheard them. Too bad it's the BOSS who caught them in the act.

At the look of Vincent, he would not let them off just like that without confrontation…

"Each of you is questioning my capability. How about you? Are you that confident that each of you deserves your positions just because you were the sons of the major shareholders?"

At Vincent's phrase, these men raise their heads with hostility in their eyes. He is ultimately threatening them, and he is using his standing as the new boss, the son-in-law, to step on them whenever he likes and as what pleases him.

Vincent, on the other hand, did not need to say further, as they surely understood his meanings. A few of them remained silent upon his words, but the other men frowned and protested.

"You are now being unreasonable, Mr. Shen." Spoke by the man who made a speech about his disgusting thoughts to his lady boss.

Vincent cast at him with a murderous glare. Director Hayes swallowed after meeting Vincent's intense gaze like he would throw him out the window from that floor, which was at the top level, in the right wing of the building.

"I was the one who is unreasonable here? In which part? By confronting you after I found out that you had wild thoughts about my wife?"

Director Hayes lowered his eyes. He reached for his forehead and pressed his fingers, simply wiping the beads of sweat that started to form. He could not retort to that, as he was the first to mention the lady boss.

Seeing that no one attempted to react, Vincent carried on.

"You don't know what happened between President Jackson and me. That is none of your business, and I don't care if we have a huge collaboration with a traitor like him. Anyway, you sure want to maintain a good relationship with him. Well, if J Group crippled Davies Corporation through our Northern headquarters, then maybe he will spare you to retain at your position, Deputy Director Layne." Vincent cast a glance sideways at the man standing next to Deputy Director Hayes.

Director Layne is a representative at Davies Corp. Northern HQ. He raised his head when Vincent mentioned the possibility of J Group doing schemes to harm their operation in North Australia.

"What do you mean about that, Mr. Shen?" At this moment, Director Layne has both curiosity and confusion in his eyes, followed by a loud thud in his heart that something is going on, and he missed seeing the picture.

Vincent pulled the corner of his mouth, yet he said nothing. He simply glanced at Director Layne and ignored him. His attention is now fixed on the other three men seated on the couch. One of them made a comment earlier that buzzed his ears.

"Maybe that's the reason he rarely comes to the office. Why would you leave home if you have a beautiful wife you can snuggle with 24/7?"

Followed by a cackle from others, then a few of them added their thoughts. And that made everyone even crack.

"Director Webb, if you were so jealous of my marriage life. Why don't you find a wife for yourself? Isn't it too appropriate talking about your bosses' private life? I don't want to think that my father-in-law had just mistaken when they assigned each of you in that position because in what I am seeing, none of you are fit."

The seven men look at Vincent sternly. They didn't like that he was now deliberately pointing at their assigned job.

"Mr. Shen, how dare you talk to my son that way?" someone from behind spoke.

Vincent glanced over his shoulder, and he found out that the lobby was now crowded with more people.

"Mr. Webb, I am just speaking of the truth. I know some of our directors and managers haven't got their MBA and DBA yet."

"Then what are you implying, Mr. Shen?" asked Mr. Webb, member of the Board of Directors, holding 15% shares of the company.

Vincent smiled at the old man.

"Mr. Webb, I was accused of being lazy to come to the company but nestling on the bed with my wife all day. But sorry to disappoint the people who were thinking of that. While you were busy criticizing me, I was up all night reviewing all the information of every employee of Davies Corporation, the main branch, and our branches, including the subsidiary companies around the globe. I've noticed that many of our managers and supervisors completed their MBA degrees, and others even got a DBA degree. However, they remain in the lower position because they were not sons of the shareholders. Isn't it unfair to those who work on their asses for many years but remain in their current positions when a fresh Business graduate without pursuing a higher degree took that seat?"

"Your point is?"

"My point is, I am doing a huge reformation in every field and department of every office that we have," Vincent announced.

"Are you kidding us? You are talking about a hundred branches worldwide!"

"Exactly," Vincent replied with a smirk on the corner of his mouth.. He then declared, "I will evaluate every branch if the directors that manage our offices are fit for the position."
