There was a knock on the door. Before Magnus could open his mouth, the door was pushed open. Daniel Evans entered with a pale face.

"CEO Hayes, I heard there was a commotion in the cafeteria. People said you were here. So, I caught up with you. Is there a problem?" Daniel looked nervous. He had had a bad feeling when the CEO said he would have lunch in the cafeteria. And now, here was the CEO. He hoped the HR manager hadn't said anything nonsensical.

Magnus's fat face, which had been flushed, immediately lost blood.

"CEO Hayes?" It was like a boulder was stuck in the manager's throat. He looked at the simple-looking man across the table. There was nothing to suggest that he was the most important person in the company.

Malcolm, on the couch, nearly dropped his jaw.

"CEO Hayes?" His whole body instantly shivered.

The document inspection section? It seemed like he wasn't lying. As CEO he checked everything in the company.

They had heard about the CEO change yesterday. But he hadn't had a chance to meet in person yet.

Daniel felt helpless as he said, "Introducing, our new CEO, Mr. Greyson Hayes."

It wasn't purely the manager's fault if there were bad words involved. The new Mr. CEO did like to run around tricking everyone. Daniel couldn't help but complain.

Magnus Jensen almost slipped from his comfortable chair. He wanted to stand up to salute, but his legs had become too weak and useless to support his body.

Malcolm fell off the sofa. His hand accidentally nudged the vase on the table. It rolled and fell apart near his feet. His lips twitched, but no sound came out.

Greyson was a little disappointed with Daniel's arrival. He felt that this matter wasn't finished yet and Evans' assistant had come to disrupt the order of the process.

Without saying anything, Greyson left the place. Behind him, Daniel looked at the two chaotic people for a while, then turned to follow his boss.

The two people left behind hoped that everything that had just happened was just a bad dream.

Meanwhile, on the way to the CEO's office.

"The work I ordered is done?" Greyson was reminded of his messy office.

Daniel was walking dreamily. Greyson's question surprised him.

"It's all tidied up," Daniel replied thoughtfully. "Sir, what about the manager?"

"What do you think? Of course, both of them should be fired. I don't want those two in the company." You messed up some things. Greyson grumbled inwardly.

"I'll take care of it," Daniel said as he pushed open the office door, opening it for Greyson.

Inside, Greyson sat in his chair, turned on the computer, and started working.

"Sir, the board of directors requested an immediate shareholders' meeting," Daniel informed.

"Hm." Greyson only mumbled incoherently in response.

"They seem to want you to step down as CEO." Daniel was a little uncomfortable when he said that. His boss had only been on the job for two days, but those people already couldn't wait to get rid of him.

"I know. Tell everyone that the meeting will be held in a week." Greyson said calmly. He wasn't worried at all.

After finishing some work, Greyson intended to go home. He pocketed the access card to his new apartment that Naomi had sent him.

Daniel was already preparing to follow Greyson when the man shooed him away. "No need to drive me. I'm going home alone."

Daniel hesitantly made a suggestion. "Sir, you should have your own car. If you want, I can order one for you."

"I'll take care of it myself tomorrow." Greyson walked out of his office.

He gave Greyson a glance and then refocused on his phone screen. He didn't look happy.Malcolm sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, thinking of the manager's office as his own. He stared dismissively at Greyson who stood in front of the manager's desk, filing his complaint."What problem?" Magnus tapped his phone screen with a serious face."The assistant planning manager, Malcolm Langston, assaulted a cleaner in the company cafeteria. There were many witnesses. I don't think the cleaner did anything wrong....""Shit!" Magnus exclaimed, cutting off Greyson's sentence, and almost slammed his cell phone down. He had an annoyed look on his face.

He glanced at Malcolm briefly then said again, "Keep your voice down. He can hear.""Report to where? Didn't it say that the HR manager is his uncle?" This time it was the other man who spoke. He said it in a half-whispered voice."Then, report it to the HR director." Greyson came up with another solution. "Report hid uncle and nephew as well."Suddenly, the cafeteria became even quieter. Before, there were still whispers and the sound of clashing cutlery. No one dared to comment on Malcolm openly.
