Chapter 30 - I Was in the Light, the Enemy Was in the Dark. Let's Retreat for the Time Being!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After sending Dennis off, only Mona and a few interviewees were left in the office.

They were in a very awkward situation.

They stood where they were and rubbed their hands together like chickens that had nowhere to run in a rainstorm.

“Boss, what should we do with these interviewees?” Mona asked.

She knew that she should chase these people out immediately but Simon was here.

She could not make a decision beyond her boss, so she waited for Simon to make a decision.

“Bring their resumes to me to have a look.” Simon spread his hands and said.

Hearing that, Mona immediately collected their resumes and handed them to Simon with both hands.

Simon flipped through them one by one.

Their education was ordinary.

Their abilities were average.

Plus, they hadn’t entered the company yet, but these people were eager to stand in line and exclude outsiders.

They really didn’t have to stay.

“None of you are hired.” Simon threw the information on the table.

The four of them were filled with regret. They knew that they shouldn’t be standing here anymore, so they left the company with their heads drooping.

Before Simon could say anything, Mona led him upstairs.

Simon thought of the badge and said, “Is there a problem with the management of the company? Why can Dennis get the badge?”

“Boss, this badge belongs to the former technical consultant. Since he left, we have not looked for a technical consultant anymore.”

Mona’s words were a little strange.

It was not that they could not find another one, but that they had stopped looking.

Was a technical consultant a dispensable position?

Simon asked, “Why aren’t you looking for another one anymore? Whose decision was it?”

“It was Mr. Hughes’s decision.”

At this point, Mona suddenly looked around and said in a low voice, “You might not know this, but Douglas was the technical consultant!”

Douglas?

Simon felt that this name sounded a little familiar.

He seemed to be his senior’s schoolmate!

The partner who tricked Hughes into taking on too much debt!

“Why are you still keeping his things?” Simon’s tone was unpleasant.

Such things that harmed the partners and the people in the company should not be left behind at all!

“Yes! I’ll send someone to clean it up immediately!” Mona replied.

She retreated to the side and called the people.

Simon stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside.

The buildings made of concrete and steel extended to the horizon, and one could not see the end of them.

Standing at a high place, there was always a comfortable feeling of having an open mind.

At this moment, Hughes’ warning appeared in Simon’s mind again.

“Be careful of the company’s internal affairs!”

It seemed that the work permit was a breakthrough point!

Under what circumstances would they keep something that belonged to the boss’s sworn enemy?

They must have felt that his sworn enemy would return one day.

That was why they didn’t dare to throw them away!

Simon was ecstatic!

“Mona, don’t make the call yet!” Simon stopped her. “Take me to the technical department to have a look first!”

She hadn’t figured out Simon’s temperament yet, so Mona could only comply.

She hung up the phone decisively.

She turned sideways to lead the way and said, “Boss, please follow me.”

When he followed Mona to the technical department, Simon made a tour of the company one by one.

Hughes really treated the company as if it was his own child.

Although there were always minor problems, it could be seen from the work atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the employees that the company was well taken care of.

If he didn’t have any debts, he would definitely not sell!

“Boss, this way please.” Mona led Simon into the elevator.

The company’s technology department was on the sixth floor, and the Department Head’s office was at the end of the corridor.

“Is the department head a senior?” Simon asked Mona.

“Yes, he was the first person to start the business with Mr. Hughes,” Mona answered truthfully. “I heard that Mr. Hughes is your senior?”

Simon did not shy away. “Yes, he’s my senior. The website was created by the two of us.”

“Sure enough, when I first saw you, I was a little surprised,” Mona said with a smile.

As they chatted, the two became familiar with each other. Mona was not as distant as when they first met.

She mustered her courage and walked side by side with him.

Simon did not even have to turn his head. He could see Mona’s breasts from the corner of his eyes.

This capable woman caught Simon’s interest.

She was not an old employee, but she could temporarily act as the leader of Hughes.

Besides being capable, there must be another layer of relationship.

“Mona, are you familiar with my senior?” Simon asked with a smile.

“Nothing can be hidden from your eyes,” Mona said. “Indeed, Mr. Hughes and I were schoolmates. He asked me to come over and help.”

Schoolmates too?

There were so many schoolmates who were on good terms with the senior.

Ever since he knew that Hughes had been cheated by Douglas, who was also a schoolmate, Simon was very sensitive to the word “Alumnus”.

Suddenly, Simon stopped in his tracks.

Before he knew whether there was an internal member or a group of people who needed to be liquidated, he should not have walked to the technical department like this.

Putting himself out in the open and letting the enemy be in the dark was the stupidest way!

Simon knew that he should not walk any further!

Seeing him stop, Mona asked in confusion, “Mr. Simon, what’s wrong?”

“Ah… I suddenly remembered that I have something to do,” Simon said half-heartedly.

If he went any further, it would be a death sentence!

“Then don’t you want to go to the technology department?”

“I won’t go for now. Just ask the people in the technology department to check and tell me!”

“Okay, I understand.” Mona bowed and said, “Do you need me to drive you?”

“No, I’ll go back myself.” Simon rejected her kindness.

Then, he hurried downstairs and left the building of the Creative Company.

He was still young, so he couldn’t confront the unknown enemy directly!

Although he was unwilling, he could only lay low for now and gradually strengthen his strength.

Even though he had an aunt and sisters, he still wanted to rely on his own strength!

Simon stopped a taxi by the roadside and went home!

An hour later, the taxi stopped outside the gate.

Simon saw a fountain in the courtyard that looked like a landmark again.

After paying, Simon got out of the car and pushed open the gate that was as gorgeous as a castle.

“Brother, you’re back!” Jane waited at the door happily.

Simon did not expect someone to be standing at the door. He smiled hastily and said, “Eldest Sister, why are you standing at the door?”

In the living room, Lydia poked her head out from the sofa.

She smiled at Simon and said, “If you don’t come back soon, Eldest Sister will go out to look for you.”

“Look for me?”

Simon did not understand.

He was already so old, how could he get lost!

“Who told you not to bring a driver?” Lydia mocked.

So that was the reason.

The first time he entered the door, the eldest sister also wanted to send someone to pick him up.

She seemed to have an endless amount of worry.

“Shut up!” Jane scolded Lydia, “Eat your fruit!”

Lydia playfully stuck out her tongue at Jane and obediently retreated into the sofa.

After lecturing Lydia, Jane turned to Simon and put on a gentle smile.

“Simon, where have you been? Why have you been gone for so long?”

Simon smiled and said, “I went to the company to take a look.”

“If there’s anything you don’t understand about running a company, you can come and ask me anytime!”

“Got it. Thank you, Eldest Sister.” Simon changed into his indoor slippers and asked again, “Eldest Sister, how’s your matter going?”

“Hehe.” Jane smiled sweetly. “I wanted to talk to you about this..”
