The Invincible Arthur Gardner novel Chapter 79

"Let me explain the strategies I have put together for this company," Arthur said confidently. "There's no need for you to worry about it. I'll also demonstrate why my assertion of becoming the CEO of this company is not just a lot of nonsense."

Arthur meticulously prepared all the essential knowledge and data to respond to the questions asked by his employees. He was not, however, prepared to share this information with everyone, as he wanted to rid himself of certain people.

"Nevertheless," he said firmly, "I will only divulge my strategies to those I deem suitable to realize my vision. I have already chosen them based on my criteria."

"What do you mean by that, sir? Are you suggesting a mass layoff? I think this is too serious an issue to consider without consulting us, the executives of this company," someone responded to Arthur.

"That's right, boss. You cannot make such an important decision without consulting with us first; it would only harm the company further."

"You just joined us today, how can you be so sure that your decision is the right one?"

Arthur didn't respond to the complaints, but instead, he projected various graphics and informative data onto the screen behind him. He began to explain the lack of successful strategies that had been implemented up to that point, as well as potential ways to improve them - even if only a small part of the overall strategy he had prepared.

"This is what I've been working on," he said.

"I'm sure you're all quite familiar with all the data I've presented here. I've conducted a comprehensive analysis of the data and conclusions I've made here. Later on I will go into greater depth about the strategy. With all of this, I'm sure you can recognize how well I understand this company. I'm more than qualified to be the CEO of this company," Arthur declared confidently.

"How does he have all this data? And how is it that he seems to know the company's problems as if he's been here since it was founded?"

"He definitely seems to have a good grasp of the state of the company," remarked someone. "It doesn't sound like he's merely bragging about his goals."

"I believe he's truly committed to expanding the business," added another. "We can put our faith in him."

People were filled with admiration and awe after Arthur cleverly demonstrated his understanding of the company's issues.

"However," Arthur continued, "in order to make my plan more effective, I have had to make the difficult decision to let go of some of the company's employees. You should have received an email from me regarding this matter by now. For those of you who haven't seen any emails from me, it means I am offering you the opportunity to join me in furthering the success of this company."

The employees' worst nightmares had finally become a reality; they frantically opened their email apps on their phones, anxiously refreshing them in anticipation of the dreaded email from Arthur that they had been warned about.
