Chapter 1200 You Should Be Glad
During the meeting, several directors kept raising difficult questions for Oliver to answer. “Why did you provoke the Sawyer Group for no good reason? Do you have any idea how much the company’s stock has plummeted in just a few days now?”
“Our assets have decreased because of a stupid decision you made. How do you plan to make up for these losses?” “It has been so many days, and yet you’re still not done dealing with it. I have serious doubts about your ability to handle affairs.”
Oliver quietly took it all in despite facing these aggressive questions. His gums were almost crushed from the forceful clenching of his jaw as he stopped himself from losing his temper.
After all, with how things were going, he couldn’t afford to continue offending these directors. Otherwise, it would be a fatal blow to the company if they were angered and chose to divest at this critical moment.
In the end, it took him half an hour to finally let out a breath of relief when he appeased these directors before he sent them off. He had already begun to regret provoking the Sawyer Group now.
Just as he was about to return to the office, this assistant came over and told him, “President Hadfield, Chairman Hadfield arrived earlier. He is waiting for you in your office.”

Worn out, Oliver massaged his forehead. “Alright,” he uttered before he strode into his office. Francis Hadfield’s face was dark as he sat on the couch, his body exuding the natural intimidation of a superior.
As he already knew the whole story, the first thing he did when he saw Oliver coming in was to chew his son’s head off.
“Since when have you become such a blabbermouth? Why did you start talking sh*t out of nowhere? Nicholas Sawyer is not someone you can afford to make an enemy of!”
Oliver didn’t dare make a peep when his father continued to bark at him. “It’s because of that stupid mouth of yours that many of our clients have terminated their collaboration with us. Do you know it’s not just 5 million we’re losing from this?
“Now I see why so many directors are against you. You do things without thinking! You should be glad that I didn’t go to the board meeting just now. Because if I did, you might have been sacked from your position now!”
Oliver’s mood only worsened after he was scolded by his father.
That night, he called Wanda for a drink, in hopes to find some comfort from her.
