The Runaway Groom

Chapter 302

Any new leader tends to flex his newfound authority, and lan was certainly doing that during his first. meeting with his key personnel!

Every head of department was sitting with clenched buttocks, afraid to make a sound.

However, they were just wary of lan since they were not familiar with him-with Isaac, they were earnestly

reverent instead.

Still, lan was confident after his recent promotion.

“Starting with Finance, everyone will report any noteworthy events as well as department objectives over the last six months,” he said proudly and formally from the chairing seat.

However, his confidence proved a little excessive, as the Head of Finance rose to his feet and gave a lengthy account of everything the department saw through over the last six months.

The long and short of it was that there was no income, only investments.

“Here’s everything on the projects and investments we oversaw in that timeframe,” he said as he handed a thick document folder to lan, who was scowling now.

The thick folder itself was a sign that the financial department had been overseeing many projects and investments, but none of them were worthwhile. Since only billion dollar projects or investments required the board’s approval, anything in that folder was below that threshold, meaning that it would escape the board’s notice.

After all, when Isaac brought the company to new heights and raked in billions, they decided to hold blind faith in most of Isaac’s decisions. That was why they never inspected anything, and never found out about the financial outflow and other projects!

And now…

lan was working very hard to stop himself from flipping out at the crowd..

The rest of the reports from the other heads of department were largely the same: losses, halted projects, projects that require more capital…

There was no good news at all.

Naturally, lan called off the meeting ahead of schedule, and waited until everyone left and closed the doors behind them before bursting out, “Isaac fucked us over!”

Meanwhile, Quincy had been remaining in her seat, quiet for a while now.

She knew that things would be bumpy, but never expected an apocalypse.

“Look, lan-the board doesn’t know about this, just as we should not let them find out under any circumstances. They’d just point their finger at us, and we won’t even have a chance to arque… Ive thought about it, and right now, we need to secure a few convincing megaprojects in the meantime to keep their mouths shut.”

Ian understood that too, but he had gotten weary after learning how bad things were currently.

Nonetheless, Quincy encouraged him. “Look-we’re still managing many projects and businesses, so some of it has to be profitable. You’re still young, and we have all the time we need. Don’t give up just yet.”

lan did not want to admit he was no match for Isaac either, and so dived headfirst with Quincy into solving the mess, attempting to rescue and restore Light Group to its former glory!

Since they were both busy, their dinner with Robin had to wait.

However, Robin herself was starting to get distracted because lan was not calling her or seeing her. When she tried to ask him out, he would turn her down-which planted the idea in her that lan was dumping him after taking over Light Group.

As she was having an unhappy cup of coffee at a cafe, Mrs. Watson and Irene arrived as well.

They were just done shopping at the nearby mall and came for a drink, running into Robin by sheer coincidence.

Irene saw that she appeared downtrodden and lethargic, even starting to lose weight.
