More people stepped forward and insisted on resigning.
Zeke picked out their resignation letters from the pile one by one. Soon, he realized that among the thirty senior managers, only five did not insist on resigning.
Zeke passed the twenty-five resignation letters to Sofia and said, “Sofia, sign on them.”
Sofia was in a panic by now and whispered to him, “Zeke, let us discuss this matter again. These people have been involved in this project right from its start, so they are the most familiar with this project. If they resign now, we have to hire someone new to replace them, which will definitely affect the project’s progress and completion date. We will suffer great losses, so we should definitely dissuade them from resigning.”
However, Zeke just smiled, “Sofia, just listen to me. I have my own plans.”
Seeing that she was unable to persuade him, Sofia had no choice but to sign on the letters gloomily.
Teeth snickered, “Haha, you may not even live through today. Stop worrying about the project.”
“Shut up,” Zeke snarled and glared at him.
Trembling in fear, Teeth did not dare to comment further.
I should not antagonize this fellow for the time being until my men arrive. Otherwise, he may really beat me up.
Just then, a dark, burly man threw a document over to Zeke Williams, “I am one of the suppliers for the Project. But looking at your situation now, there’s no way this Project’s gonna carry on. Please sign this contract termination letter. I will not continue supplying materials to your company.”
Zeke took one look at him and scoffed, “Just a mere supplier, and you’re talking so arrogantly?”
“...”
The burly man slammed the table in anger, “Hey, that’s totally uncalled for! My company is worth more than you think!”
Zeke then exerted a little force and crushed the teacup in his hand effortlessly. “Sit down, or I will beat you up.”
The dark, burly man sweated profusely in terror and sat down obediently, not daring to disobey his orders.
If he can crush the teacup effortlessly, I bet he can bust my head easily too.
Zeke Williams passed the document to Sofia, “Sign on it too.”
By now, Sofia was in a fluster, and she whispered, “His company is the only supplier of unique titanium alloy material in the entire Riverdale District. If we terminate the contract with them, we have to source the materials from outside the city. Not only will the logistic costs go up, but the project completion date will also be affected...”
“Sofia, listen to me.”
Sofia scratched her head in bafflement, but she still signed the contract termination letter.
After that, Zeke looked at the five senior managers who did not resign and said, “Congratulations. You have made the best decision in your life.”
“Mr. Williams, we are forced by Teeth to submit our resignation letters, but we really have no intention of resigning.”
Zeke then nodded, “Yeah, I understand. There is no need for further explanation. Teeth will apologize to you later.”
Teeth scoffed, “Keep on dreaming. Listen up, you guys. My men have arrived.”
A deafening silence loomed over the meeting room, and everyone pricked up their ears to listen. Indeed, they could hear a faint bellowing from afar.
Gradually, the bellowing came closer and was resoundingly loud by the time Teeth’s men reached the office door.
Right then, numerous vans were driving into the factory compound.
When the vans stopped, over a hundred thugs alighted from them. Holding weapons such as metal rods or baseball bats in their hands, they surged towards them.
Their murderous looks were enough to strike fear in anyone.
In no time, they surrounded the meeting room.
Suddenly, someone shouted, “Teeth, we have come to save you.”
