Life at The Top novel Chapter 222

Joseph had been an executive in the company for many years and had secretly infringed on countless of the company’s vested interests. His son, Mack, would not have the guts to paw at the company’s artists otherwise.

It was not that Michael did not know of it, but Joseph was indeed a founding member who had followed him for many years. On the other hand, there was also the complexity of bureaucratic division within Gladness Entertainment Movies, and if he disturbed one division, the rest would also be affected. It would be big trouble for Michael to deal with it.

However, it was different now.

Jasper never had the intention to take things slow and steady. When he made a move, he would make it big. It was not only to establish his authority but also to sweep away every other background noise in the company. It would only be him who had the authority and power.

“My apologies, Mr. Laine, I…” Joseph said with a troubled expression. He had the intention of acknowledging his mistake.

“There’s no need to apologize,” Jasper interrupted him once again.

“Having been with Gladness for so many years, you still made the effort even if you didn’t gain achievements. I’ll let you keep your reputation, so do hand me your resignation letter voluntarily tomorrow.”

Jasper’s words completely changed the expression on Joseph’s face.

Every one of the higher-level management including him had thought that Jasper only wanted to display some authority after taking office.

However, he had immediately gone to the depths by taking action, and his method was intense.

Shocked and in disbelief, Joseph opened his mouth in indignation. He said, “Jasper, what is the meaning of this?”

“Was my intention not clear enough?” Jasper asked indifferently.

“I’m a founding member of this company and I manage a large number of people under me. Aren’t you afraid that the company won’t be able to run smoothly if I leave?” threatened Joseph immediately.

His gaze was bitter with resentment, yet it still held confidence and assurance.

He did not believe that Jasper would really dare go against him till the end.

Jasper looked at Joseph coolly, his eyes only showing indifference. There was no trace of concession that Joseph was expecting on his face.

“Will the earth stop on its axis just because you’re no longer here?”

Jasper said coldly, “Get lost now and I’ll see who are the few rotten apples who will follow you as you leave. I will sincerely thank you for saving my time in weeding and getting rid of a few more of them.”

“Troublemakers like Joseph will be caught and fired. There will definitely be no mercy.

“I announce Gladness Entertainment Movies to be officially renamed Advent Entertainment Group.

“It will be split into three larger business groups called Advent Films, Advent TV, and Advent Agency.

“The three business groups will be in charge of film and television dramas, singing and variety shows, and overseeing the contracts of artists of Advent Entertainment Group respectively.

“In the meantime, President Ryder Lawrence will continue serving the group in his position. Other personnel arrangements will remain unchanged. An official document will be issued to notify all employees of the company of the subsequent appointment of the board of directors.”

Michael sighed softly as he looked at Jasper speaking on stage.

It seemed that Jasper had long been prepared before buying Gladness Entertainment Movies. He had been eyeing the entertainment industry.

He suddenly regretted having sold Gladness Entertainment Movies to Jasper for a capital price of 1.5 billion. Maybe Jasper could really create a giant in the film and television entertainment industry.
