Chapter 1473
In the first few days after Robin took over the Harper Group, he was in meetings nearly non stop.
He needed to understand and reform the past ways of operation. This big of apany wasn’t
something you could overhaul in just a blink of an eye.
However, the higher–ups at the Harper Group seemed a bit out of it, giving off a half–hearted vibe.
Robins face had been grave for several days, with the atmosphere at the meetings escting daily.
Finally, he just tossed the documents in his hand aside, sat in the chairman’s seat, and stared at the
others in the meeting room with furrowed brows.
“Got anything to say about these meetings in the past couple of days?”
A few senior managers nced at each other before someone slowly spoke up,
“Thepany’s morale is unstable right now. The previous ways of operation were figured out step
by step, only stabilizing after several failures. The employees are used to seeing the former CEO as
the backbone. We have no objections to you taking over thepany, but you wanting to reform
the old ways of operations just after taking office is a hard pill to swallow.”
Hearing this, Robin scoffed, “The former CEO?”
The senior manager who spoke paused, looking a bit embarrassed. The atmosphere in the meeting
room became somewhat awkward, but since someone had broken the ice, another person with an
opinion spoke up.
*Also, the thing the former CEO said to the media on the day he stepped down…we can’t just
ignore it…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent. On the day Damon stepped
down, he only said one thing to the media.
He was going to take on the Harper Group in full force!
After a while, Robin let out a coldugh.
“Take on the Harper Group full force, huh?”
The smile on his face gradually cooled. “Tell me, what makes him so famous now, and why do you
trust him so much? Without the support of the Harper Group, how is he going to fulfill his so–called
‘full force against the Harper Group‘?
Afterwards, he scoffed again, “Youngsters, a bit of arrogance is okay, but believing in such
unrealistic talk is inappropriate, don’t you think?”
The meeting room fell silent again. They weren’t ignorant.
Hearing about a full–scale attack on therge Harper Group sounded unrealistic.
Damon was alone, without any support. Even if his current girlfriend turned into the princess of Y
Country, the well–rooted foundation of the Harper Group wouldn’t be easily shaken.
Of course, they recognized the current strength of the Harper Group. But, when they saw Damon
calmly saying these words in front of the media, they all felt a tightening in their hearts,
subconsciously believing Damon’s seemingly boastful words.
Not only them, but everyone who heard his words didn’t question them. It was probably because the
words came from Damon.
“With his temper, I don’t think he’s just blowing smoke!”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This was the crux of the matter. How could Damon
casually say things he wasn’t sure about? After working under his leadership for so many years, his
determination and decisiveness were well known to his subordinates.
Robin did not explicitly agree or disagree. “That’s why I want to change some of the operating
strategies he set up. I admit, the person who knows the Harper Group best in this world, is him! So
we need to make changes as soon as possible. If he ns to take action, he will directly attack
some of the key issues inside the Harper Group. This is the only reason I can think of why he would
say those words. If we don’te up with a suitable response, are we just going to sit here and
wait to die?”
“His capability is the best stabilizing factor for the Harper Group, and we’re all family, so why make
things so tense?!”
No matter what Damon said, the current situation was something they all didn’t want to see. The
only thing that could reassure them was to bring Damon back!
Robin kept a poker face. “ording to your words, with Damon’s personality, do you think it’s
possible for him to go back on his decisions?”
Things were at a standstill again. So they were sitting here now, and no matter what they said, it
was useless.
If Damon couldn’te back, then necessary countermeasures needed to be taken.
“I think, the biggest problem now is that thepany has enemies both inside and outside! A
perfectly goodpany has turned into aplete mess, and now it’s aughingstock.” One of the
senior managers stood up, his face grim. After saying these words, he just walked out.
Robin’s face didn’t change, he continued, “The project of Alonso Corporation has received full
support. I had talked to Cole before, and he has left a tenth of the investment quota for the Harper
Group. Before the project starts, I n to put this tenth of the funds in.”
His words were met with opposition from everyone.
“We all know Damon resigned because of the Alonso family! Over the years, thepany has also
cut off many cooperation rtionships with the Alonso Corporation
“The Alonso family seems to be thriving on the surface, but in reality, it’s still Cole who’s in charge.
Every year of cooperation, he uses his position to extract more profits from the Harper Group, and
when problems arise, he doesn’t take responsibility, and we have to bear the losses.

“The few projects the Harper Group cooperated with Alonso Corporation on, didn’t really bring us
much benefit!
“Not only due to Damon’s personal issues but from the long–term development of the Harper
Group, we all think it’s right to keep a distance from the Alonso family! Even if the Alonso family’s
situation had improved a bit, if you epted their goodwill now, they would stick to you like glue in
the future!
“Sure, Cole had got some chops, but the future leader of the Alonso’s was gonna be Wendy.
Everyone knew what she was like. The Alonso family would just be a burden for the Harper Group
in the future!”
Robin’s usually chill expression had finally shown some real anger recently. “The Alonso family
and the Harper family have always been tight, and supporting each other is just the decent thing
to do. Because Wendy is gonna run the Alonso’s in the future, it is even more reason for us, the
Harpers, to step up and help rather than just standing by. Otherwise, where’s the dignity of the
Harper family?”
With that, Robin mmed his hand down on the table. “The Harper Group will definitely chip in for
a tenth of the Alonso family’spany investment. I won’t miss this sure–fire opportunity! This
decision is finall Finance Department, get the funds ready! As soon as the money’s good to go,
transfer it right away!”
No sooner were the words out of his mouth than he didn’t give anyone a chance to argue. He
pushed back his chair and strutted out of the conference
room.
