Chapter 774 Always On Guard
Date- 2 April 2321Cindy\'s words visibly antagonized Diana, who glared at Cindy as if she were thinking of ripping Cindy\'s mouth out. But then she forcefully calmed herself, repeatedly chanting the words \'Control, Boss is watching.\'
"Cindy, you are still the managing director of Fine Gold, and last time I checked I am still the CEO of this company. Don\'t forget you still work for me." I didn\'t understand what Diana was getting at by saying this sentence to Cindy, was she threatening to fire her, or was she saying I am your boss, obey me bitch? I don\'t think Diana was stupid enough to mean either of the statement in my presence after all they both work for me.
"I didn\'t forget. And last time I checked we both worked for the boss." Cindy simply pointed out to Diana what I was thinking.
But I don\'t condone Cindy interrupting Diana just because she doesn\'t like what Diana was saying, I didn\'t see Diana interrupt her when she was passionately praising the good that came from the Government and the Royal families regulating the brothels. Cindy was in the wrong here, as for Diana\'s words about her still being the CEO I cannot take offense until I know what Diana actually meant by it.
"I know, I haven\'t forgotten. Still, thank you for the reminder." Daina said calmly and added, "Cindy, I\'m sorry to inform you that you can not move your office to the Fine Gold tower no.2 penthouse as I have other plans for it."
Diana went in the direction, \'Sure I cannot fire or punish you in front of the boss but I can still make your life hell in the company because I am in charge of you.\' This was well within the rights of a CEO. I didn\'t stop Diana because what good was it of having a capable CEO and undermining her every decision. I might as well say that I don\'t trust you to her face and take up the CEO position while I am at it.
"What do you mean I can\'t move my office to the penthouse? It is already my office." Cindy questioned Diana because the last time she checked the penthouse of tower no.2 has always been her office.
"Oh, sorry. I meant you have to move your office to the floor below." Diana felt satisfied as she saw Cindy argue. This is her feeding her sadistic urges and feeling in control, even though she knew she was not.
"But the floor below is used by the sales team to receive VIP clients," Cindy argued.
"Then move to a floor below that," Diana replied without a thought.
"It is occupied by the senior executives of the sales and customer relations departments." Cindy was pissed by Diana trying to throw her weight around but all she could was try and come up with different reasons to reject Diana\'s orders.
"Good, I am sure they will be more than happy to make room for their spectacular managing director\'s office. Until they set your office, you can operate from the employee mess. It is spacious, I am sure you will like it there. A change of location may prove to be productive. What do you think Cindy?" Diana was bent on showing Cindy that the regime of the Fine Gold might have changed but she is still in charge of her.
"Fine, how long will it take for them to set up my office." Cindy did find it demeaning to operate from the employee mess but she still endured and asked Diana when her new office was going to be set up.
"I don\'t know, the contractors didn\'t give a definite time," Diana said casually.
"Y-you" feeling wronged Cindy turned to me.
"Don\'t look at me I already gave my word to her that I was not going to meddle with Fine Gold business." I shrugged my shoulders at Cindy\'s cry for help, after all, she was wrong for trying to undermine what Diana had to say on the law that allows the government and royal families to regulate brothels.
This right here was a classic situation that defined what kind of boss I would choose to be. Will I be impartial, will I undermine Diana as CEO or directly help Cindy oppress Diana, or be a stickler to rules and punish Cindy. Whatever type of boss I chose to be would shape the future of my cooperation with Diana and Cindy. The wrong choice would make Diana or Cindy or both of them feel the need for a backup plan to secure their future. And the right choice would make them feel confident about their future in Fine Gold under my direction. These two right here were really capable people with fear and ambition, they weren\'t Calamity daughter gems who would follow my arrangement without question or a second thought. Here I need to think about everything I say and do when it comes to them as I need them working for me not planning on an escape strategy.
Therefore, I decided to choose to be none of the above and be a man of my word. In this situation, any person would try and use their status and try to mediate between the two by choosing one of the courses of actions stated above, but that was equal to breaking the word I gave to Diana that I would not meddle in Fine Gold business, sending this two running right for their back up plan. What person would trust a boss who blatantly ignores his word? The whole cooperation between me and them is based on mutual trust, If I am not able to keep such small promises then what guarantee did they have that I would keep my other promises to them. Their situation may force them to continue to work for me but they will not be 100 percent as invested if otherwise. This was human nature, it is very fickle, especially with the smart ones therefore I tend to rely on the calamity daughter gem. If I were to think I can control them or any other humans just because I have a few advantages over them then I would be kidding myself.
