For n’s admiration and flattery, ghan had long been accustod to it.
"Of course, let’s go to the conference room to talk."
Harry glanced at the nearby conference room and smiled as he extended his hand in invitation. Watching Harry and ghan enter the conference room, the employees in the office imdiately began whispering among themselves.
Yumie even stared enviously at ghan’s retreating figure, lost in thought.
"Having fans and fa is really great! You can be this arrogant even with the new boss. I’m so jealous of ghan! I wish I could speak to the boss with that kind of confidence too." A female employee who looked to be in her thirties stood up and quietly whispered to a few other female colleagues.
"When you have millions of fans, you can act this bold too," a more composed female employee replied with a smile, glancing at the speaker before returning to her work.
"What do you think ghan is discussing with President Harry? I bet it’s about salary and benefits! Right now, ghan is the only pillar holding up our company. Without her traffic, the company would collapse sooner or later," another slightly plump female employee chid in, half joking.
"I hope ghan stays. Otherwise, we’ll all be out of jobs..." Yumie squeezed forward, her voice tinged with worry.
"It’s good for ghan to put this President Harry in his place. Otherwise, these capitalists will just exploit us!" A middle aged man sneered as he joined the conversation.
"We need to stick together. This new President Harry clearly knows nothing. He’s just a spoiled rich kid. These kinds of bosses are the easiest to deal with. I think we should ride ghan’s montum and stage a collective protest to demand higher salaries and better benefits!"
"Let’s wait and see... We’re not ghan. If we try to negotiate, we might just get fired instead..."
As the employees’ attention remained fixed on the conference room door, speculating about what was happening inside, ghan sat across from Harry in the conference room, her expression haughty as she got straight to the point.
"President Harry, I’m sure you understand the company’s situation. The reason our company was sold to you so cheaply is because several of our top influencers left, taking many key employees with them. Right now, apart from , the company has no other notable influencers left. The only reason I stayed was out of loyalty to Oga. Now that Oga has sold the company to you, there’s no need for to hold back. I’m a straightforward person, so I’ll be blunt. Another dia company has already approached with a very attractive offer. Given the current salary the company is offering , there’s no way I’ll stay."
After speaking, ghan leaned back arrogantly in her chair, crossing her arms and looking at Harry with a smug, confident expression. She knew exactly how weak the company was right now—and how strong her own position was.
This was the perfect opportunity to demand the best possible terms for herself.
ghan was certain the company couldn’t survive without her.
So, she had no qualms about making outrageous demands. She was sure that no matter how reluctant this President Harry might be, he would have no choice but to keep her.
"I’m not entirely clear on your current salary. Could you elaborate?" Harry was irritated by ghan’s arrogance, but he was also srized by her seductive deanor and long legs. Though annoyed, he held back his temper.
"My current salary is 300,000 USD a year plus a 10% commission," ghan stated bluntly. "The company that’s recruiting is offering 600,000 USD a year plus a 15% commission. So, President Harry, you should understand the difference, right?"
Recently, another dia company had indeed been in talks with ghan, offering an annual salary of 600,000 USD. However, they hadn’t ntioned any commission. Moreover, they demanded a five year contract, with a penalty of ten tis her annual salary—6,000,000 USD—if she terminated early.
Because of this, ghan had no real intention of leaving Oga dia. She was only using this as leverage to pressure Harry into giving her better salary. Today, she was absolutely confident of victory.
After speaking, ghan looked at Harry with complete self assurance, her eyes brimming with triumph, her lips already curling into a victorious smile.
"That is indeed a huge difference. If their offer is that good, then I’d also recomnd that Miss ghan take the opportunity to join their company!"
Harry stood up and extended his hand with a smile. "Congratulations, Miss ghan! I’ll have Oga arrange your resignation paperwork imdiately!"
"What... what?!!" ghan stood up in stunned disbelief, utterly unable to believe what the man before her had just said!
She even wondered if she had misheard!
Before coming here, she had imagined countless possibilities and prepared responses. She had thought Harry might grovel to keep her. She had thought Harry might offer a higher price to retain her.
She had thought Harry might temporarily placate her, then go back to deliberate carefully. She had even considered that Harry might beg Enes to persuade her! But she had never, ever expected that
Harry would directly send her away? And what’s more, he even congratulated her?!!
This left ghan completely dumbfounded! This Harry, he didn’t follow the script at all! It was downright baffling!
"President Harry, do you understand the company’s current situation?" ghan asked, staring at Harry with disbelief. She now suspected that Harry didn’t know the company’s actual state, didn’t realize her importance.
"I do, quite clearly. The company is falling apart, many veteran employees have left, and nurous top influencers are gone. Miss ghan, you’re currently the company’s only remaining top influencer," Harry answered honestly.
"Then do you know what my departure would an for the company?" ghan demanded angrily, glaring at Harry and raising her voice.
She felt this man in front of her didn’t understand business at all!! She even wondered if he was an idiot!
"What would it an?" Harry said with a smile. "It would an I’d need to spend so money signing a few new top influencers, and it would an I’d need to invest ti and resources into cultivating a few new ones. That’s not difficult for . At the sa ti, it’s exactly what I’m planning to do. Money ans nothing to . What I need are employees who follow orders and are loyal to the company, not unruly divas."
Harry deliberately spoke loudly so the employees eavesdropping outside could hear him.
"Fine, President Harry, if that’s how it is, then there’s nothing left to discuss! I think you’ll regret this! When you co crawling back to , my terms won’t be the sa!"
ghan pushed her chair back indignantly, strode out of the eting room with her head held high, and slamd the door shut in full view of everyone before storming off.
The employees in the open office exchanged uneasy glances. Many had clearly overheard the conversation between Harry and ghan. Seeing Harry walk out of the eting room composed and unruffled, everyone imdiately fell silent.
Those who had earlier stirred up trouble now kept their heads down, pretending to work diligently. The company’s compensation was among the best in the industry, and none of them truly wanted to leave.
With even ghan getting shut down by the new president, who would dare cause trouble now?
"President Harry, what... what happened? Did sothing go wrong?" Enes, hearing the commotion, hurried out of her office. Seeing ghan angrily storm out of the company, she asked anxiously.
"Nothing much. Oh, right, Enes, the company really is lacking top influencers now. Co to the eting room, and have all departnt heads join as well. Let’s draft a plan—I want to sign a few top influencers and also cultivate so new ones,"
Harry declared authoritatively in front of all the employees.
"Also, ask everyone what they’d like to eat. Tonight, I’m treating everyone to dinner."
"Hell yeah!!"
"Wow! President Harry is aweso!"
"President Harry rules!!"
"Hahaha! I want the best Japanese cuisine!"
"Let’s make President Harry pay big tonight!"
"I want barbecue hotpot!"
Harry’s words lifted everyone’s spirits, and the employees cheered excitedly.
"President Harry, ghan is our only top influencer now. The company’s operations rely heavily on her traffic. You must find a way to keep her! ghan may have a bad temper, but she’s very loyal..."
Once inside the eting room, Enes, who had already guessed what had happened, urgently tried to persuade Harry.
"Influencers and traffic aren’t my main concerns. With enough capital and content, cultivating a top influencer is easy," Harry waved his hand dismissively, completely unbothered by the situation.
If ghan had negotiated with him properly, he would’ve been willing to offer her more money—as long as he could get her into bed and enjoy those long legs, Harry would’ve been happy to oblige.
But ghan had tried to assert dominance from the get go, which irritated Harry. Beautiful influencers were a di a dozen for him. With money, what kind of influencer couldn’t he play with? ghan wasn’t irreplaceable.
