Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 248

That afternoon, right after school let out, Vice President Vince Walker from EcoRide called Mira to report that a competitor was aggressively headhunting him with a massive salary offer.

Shortly after, the CFO and several other key executives called in with the exact same story.

Someone was trying to poach her entire C-suite. A hostile copycat was gearing up for launch.

If they were calling Mira, they had undoubtedly already briefed Owen.

But Owen hadn't even bothered to call her, which meant he considered the threat completely beneath his notice.

Mira wasn't losing any sleep over it, either.

EcoRide was a rocket ship, and she was already paying her executives top-of-the-market salaries. Not to mention, she had just guided all of them into making a fortune on the stock market.

Unless someone was severely brain-damaged, they weren't going to jump ship.

EcoRide possessed absolute first-mover advantage. They controlled seventy percent of the major urban hubs in Mavaria and had stockpiled a terrifying war chest from user deposits.

Even if a rival offered double the salary, it was a moot point if their company burned out in six months. It was a short-term cash grab with zero long-term stability.

By the time the copycat collapsed, the defectors would be begging for their old jobs back.

Harvey Rivers had picked up on the poaching attempts as well. Ever since dropping fifty million into Solflare, he had been monitoring the market like a hawk.

He briefly compared notes with Mira but shared her absolute lack of concern.

A few days later, internal reports indicated that since the competitor couldn't breach the executive level, they were now targeting middle management and entry-level staff.

Both Mira and Owen agreed on a strategy of total non-interference. If employees wanted to leave, they could. It was the perfect opportunity to naturally purge the unloyal dead weight from their ranks.

The only downside to this corporate warfare was that Mira's identity as the mastermind was finally leaking to the broader industry.

Still, very few people actually bought the rumors. A teenage girl commanding a tech empire? It was far more likely that Owen or Master Ellis were using her as a puppet.
