"Insolence! If he doesn't come, does our company stop operating? Did Manager Rourke request leave?" Elena asked sternly.
Lily lowered her head, afraid to speak.
"Where is the Human Resources Manager? Call him here!"
A moment later, the HR Manager arrived.
"Mr. Crowe, Ralph Rourke didn't come today. Did he submit a leave request to HR?"
Mr. Crowe answered, "No, we haven't received one."
"According to company regulations, employees below manager level must have a leave slip. Employees at manager level and above can forgo the slip but must obtain the General Manager's approval. However, Rourke has neither a leave slip nor did he inform his superior. This counts as unexcused absence."
"Mr. Crowe, you are the HR Manager. According to company regulations, what is the penalty for unexcused absence?" Elena looked at Mr. Crowe.
Mr. Crowe quickly said, "He should... be fired."
"Dad, what do you say?" Elena looked at her father.
"Elena, this Ralph Rourke is Edward's man. If we fire him like this, won't it..." Daniel was a bit worried.
"Dad, you are in charge of the company now. You cannot fear anyone. Otherwise, how will you manage?"
With that prompt, Daniel immediately understood.
It seemed he had been too soft-hearted.
"Alright, I announce that effective immediately, Finance Manager Ralph Rourke is officially terminated!"
Everyone was shocked.
They hadn't expected the untouchable Ralph Rourke to be fired!
The news of the Finance Manager's firing spread throughout the company, and many people now dared not slack off.
"Elena, as a warning to others, your method is really worked. They've found all the documents I wanted now," Daniel said happily.
"Dad, don't be happy too soon. As far as I know, although the company is in Grandma's name, Uncle Edward's family has been managing it for years. Rourke was just a small boss. To get the company back on track, we have to purge those people."
"Also, if I'm guessing correctly, he will be rushing over here in a fury soon. Dad, you have to show your authority and suppress him. If you can't suppress him this time, don't expect to ever control him!" Elena analyzed.
"Okay, I understand. Elena, you really are Dad's great helper!" Daniel was very gratified.
Looking at the reports and the revenue of the electronics factory over the years, his head started to hurt again.
"During the time Edward managed it, the electronics factory was consistently losing money. Losing money every year, and this year is no exception. It looks like this factory is a mess," Daniel lamented.
"Otherwise, did you think Grandma would be kind enough to hand it over to you?" Elena said.
