Chapter 168
Carlisle spoke up. “All employees above the team leader level should come to the finance department to help!
A moment later, over 30 team leaders, more than 20 supervisors, and seven or eight managers joined the finance tea
They were worried about miscounting, so they counted each batch three to four times.
Carlisle left the finance department and found Kane to inquire about the company transfer.
Kane took some documents and evidence from his briefcase and said, “Riley Corporation has been forcibly deregistered.
“The equipment in the company is worth about two million and 600 thousand. The suppliers owe us about one million and 700 thousand.
“If you are willing to pay off the suppliers‘ debt, we can register ourselves as a new company tomorrow. If you don’t want to bear this debt, the court will sell off the department’s equipment until the supplier’s debt is paid off!‘
Carlisle pondered momentarily and said, “I’ll pay off the suppliers‘ debt. Let’s keep the equipment for now.”
The company still had to continue subcontracting. So, how could they continue without the equipment? Wouldn’t over 16 hundred employees lose their jobs?
Kane lit a cigarette and said, “If Caleb is caught, you still have a chance to recover your losses.”
Carlisle smiled. “We can’t catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. My efforts and rewards can exceed the direct proportion.”
Out of nowhere, Kane choked on the smoke and coughed a few times.
Afraid that Carlisle would misunderstand him mocking him, he quickly waved his hand and said, “I caught a cold these days, I didn’t mean anything else.”
Carlisle poured Kane a cup of hot water. “Have some water!”
“Thank you.” Kane put the cigarette in the ashtray and took a few sips.
The two chatted for a while, during which Kane briefed Carlisle on some labor laws. After receiving a
phone call, Kane had to leave.
Carlisle escorted Kane to the entrance.
As Kane got into the car, he reminded, “Settle the payment with the suppliers as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if they go to court you won’t have peace here, either.”
Carlisle smiled slightly and said, “You can trust me to handle it.”
Kane smiled back and rolled up the car window. He started the engine and drove away.
Carlisle then headed to the R&D department.
The R&D department had two working departments: Department One and Department Two.
R&D Department Two was the one managed by Logan before. With over 60 workstations, every seat was
taken.
As Carlisle entered the office, someone immediately frowned and asked, “Hey, whose kid are you?”
All the staff turned to look at Carlisle.
A woman in her 30s giggled. “He’s already such a big kid. He must be Elvis‘, right?”
The woman with short hair at the adjacent workstation couldn’t help but chuckle. “He could also be Gordan’s. Maybe they got married early?”
A middle–aged man with graying hair in front glanced at the woman with short hair. “Stop talking nonsense. I got married late, and my child just started weaning!”
The woman in her 30s rested her chin on her hand and looked at Carlisle. “Little boy, are you here to see Elvis?”
Carlisle smiled. “Let me introduce myself. I’m Carlisle, this company’s boss.”
