Renee smirked and placed Lena's file back. She turned to urge Jacquelin, "Are you done?"
Jacquelin was somewhat afraid but still mustered the courage to pull out some documents. She also retrieved
electronic versions from the computer.
After completing these tasks in haste, they hurriedly left the HR department.
Renee was aware of the surveillance cameras' blind spots near the HR department entrance, so she skillfully
avoided them. Little did she know, a pair of eyes was watching the screen with a smile at that very moment. -
Three days later, the Thompson Group's board meeting took place as usual.
Although Renee rarely attended these meetings, she was present this time, as was Zuko. When Renee entered the
meeting room, her gaze met Zuko's, causing her to shiver momentarily. However, she quickly composed herself
and sat as if nothing had happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith everyone gathered, Zuko stood up and addressed the board with a chuckle. "Today's main topic is the
Thompson Group's future development. Please feel free to share any constructive suggestions. Director Thompson
hasn't been feeling well recently, so you can share anything you would tell her."
The board members, all seasoned individuals, immediately began praising Zuko and expressing interest in involving
the Hamerton Group in potential investments.
Zuko smiled and glanced at Renee, who remained silent.
Once the board members had shared their thoughts, Renee finally spoke up. "I believe the company needs an
urgent personnel restructuring. Some individuals may not be suitable to remain here, and perhaps not even in
Centrolis."
Zuko's expression changed noticeably.
Before he could respond, Renee turned to Jade and asked, "As the head of the sales department, do you have the
authority to access personnel information for your team members?"
Jade was caught off guard but nodded in response.
"In that case, please head to the HR department and retrieve Lena's information, Ms. Neale," Renee instructed.
"What?" Jade considered for a moment and chortled. "Ms. Thompson, what do you mean by this?"
"Nothing special." Renee seemed nonchalant. "I just think that someone with her abilities might benefit from a
department change. Maybe to the core level of the company."
"Uh..."
"While I don't have decision-making power, I can still suggest it to Lina." Renee smiled with a touch of provocation.
Jade stayed calm and composed, smiling as she replied, "Ms. Thompson, besides being inappropriate to request
personal information without a valid reason, I wonder if Director Thompson is aware of this matter."
Renee paused. "I will inform her!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But I haven't received a call from her." Jade jutted her chin. "From the perspective of the entire company
structure, Director Thompson is my direct superior. Without her notification, I won't head to the HR department to
retrieve information."
She then added, "Ms. Thompson, you've been away from the company for quite a while, so you might not be very
clear about these matters?"
"You..." Renee glared at Jade.
"Stop acting superior! If it weren't for Lina's high regard for you, she wouldn't have appointed you as the head of
the sales department. Heh! To put it bluntly, you're just a lapdog of the Thompsons!"
"Ms. Thompson, when I joined the Thompson Group, no one even knew who you were yet." Jade remained unfazed.
"You're just a distant relative surnamed Thompson. If I'm a lapdog of the Thompsons, then you're not doing any
better. Ms. Thompson, would you like me to be even more blunt?"
"Jade Neale!" Renee was agitated, her voice changing tone.
