A Graduation Gift novel Chapter 232

"It seems that Mr. Tang is very considerate towards the company's employees. The Tang Group is facing a changeable market, so no one knows what kind of troubles the company will run into if the belt isn't being tightened. If there isn't a strong management system to discipline employees, I'm afraid our company will meet many unnecessary problems," Rufus replied.

He and all the board members knew why Lionel opposed this proposal. It was because he had made more mistakes than anyone else present. Naturally, he was not willing to accept the consequence of this proposal.

Being the senior executive in Tang Group, no one dared to oppose Lionel and dictated the company's regulations. However, once this new rule was implemented, both high executives and employees must abide by it. Lionel was usually late for work and always left early. But with the new system, he couldn't do this anymore.

"I agree with Mr. Luo. Now it is important for our company to create a stronger leadership. The rules stipulated by Mr. Luo are not rigid. They are only common regulations and rules that every company abides by. So there is no need for us to worry about these rules, as we don't break them,"

one of the directors expressed his support for Rufus. Seeing this director's response, other directors also showed their standpoints for the proposal one after another.

"It certainly does. Besides, the regulation is also reasonable, which can manage our company's better."

"You are right. This regulation will also strengthen the self-discipline of our employees."

...

All the directors supported Rufus. Seeing this, Lionel went purple with rage, realising how unpopular he was.

Rufus had expected such a scene, so he was not surprised at all.

If Lionel was a good manager and Tang Group developed well under his leadership, he would certainly get the support of all, including directors and employees. However, Lionel was unwilling to waste huge amounts of energy and time on the business—he was only interested in the finances and pocketing them. He was inevitably giving rise to complaints from those lower executives and employees.

"Let's vote on the proposal," Rufus suggested.

Sitting as president, he waved. "Everyone for?...everyone against?" Although his legs were severely injured, Rufus still insisted on presiding over the meeting. The directors esteemed him as a powerful man with strong values and good morals. This was why they gave him their support and respect.

The cases, that Lionel were handling these days, were not any incurring profits nor opportunities. The Marketing Department fell into a complete disarray as losses were immense. If there were no restraints imposed by the Tang Group quickly, this company could go under with Lionel taking advantage and his mistakes.

The result of the vote came out, indicating that the new regulation was passed.

It was useless for Lionel to disapprove of this regulation. He was so angry that he thumped the table. Hearing the sound, the meeting room was quiet for one or two seconds. Regardless of how angry Lionel was, everyone ignored his tantrum and continued to discuss other matters.

A trace of mockery crept over Rufus's expression. 'Even if Lionel's father supports him, he can't fully take control of the Tang Group. This company will go under soon, in spite of my revenge for the death of my mother. However, my plan doesn't incorporate these issues. I want to destroy the Tang family step by step in my own way at my leisure, ' Rufus thought deviously.

The directors slowly dispersed. As the last of the directors left, Lionel walked to Rufus.

"Rufus, what a cruel and conniving person you are! Did you spend all your time in the hospital thinking this one up? Remembered this, I will never give in to you. I will definitely drive you out of the Tang Group as well as the Tang family!" Lionel confirmed bitterly.

He stared at Rufus, seething with bitterness and hatred that seemed to pour out of every part of him.

"Are you kidding me? Mr. Tang, you take this matter far too seriously. I have only drawn up a normal constitution. Why are you so angry? Why do you say things like that? I believe we all have the company's best interest in mind. I also believe that you won't go out of your way to violate the rules anyway. So what are you upset about?" Rufus asked dubiously.

He was calm as before, smiling politely at Lionel who was wearing a gloomy expression.

"You..."
