"I don't know how she knew this, but what she said that day was true, grandfather." Earl Ren said. It has been a week since they saw Gabi and today, they concluded the investigation about the substandard materials. "Grandfather, what are we going to do about this?"
"I will talk to Chairman Yu."
"Grandfather, are you planning to cut ties with the Lee and Li's?"
Old Man Ren furrowed his brows. He couldn't help but feel conflicted about this matter. First and foremost, Chairman Yu was his old-time friend. The Yu Family also supported him in the past. Cutting their support could attract the attention of other companies. "Sigh… it seems that this old man is going to work harder from now on," he noted. The fact that Gabi was capable of knowing something like this only shows that he made the right choice.
However, this would only mean there would be more work for his old bones.
"Grandfather, you should take care of your body. Please take it easy, I will be here to support you."
Old Man Ren smiled. "Let's go and see Chairman Yu."
"Ah, before I forget, we notice something else when our people were looking into the information."
"Something else?"
"There are other parties looking into this information."
Old Man Ren nodded. While he didn't know where Gabi got this information, he was sure that she didn't personally investigate this herself. Meaning, there could be a leak somewhere. "Call Gabi and inform her about this matter."
"I understand."
"Well then… let's go see Chairman Yu."
…..
Everything is in order.
The Sealey Family is not joining any social gatherings in the past few days. And Alfons actually stopped bothering her. She knew that this peace is only temporary, so it is best that she take advantage of this and close all paths that Alfons wanted to take in the future.
"Miss, I think you should see this." Kasper handed her a tablet. "This was just uploaded a couple of minutes ago. Look, it has been shared two hundred times already."
"Alfons is joining a protest against a SEO company?" Gabi smiled. So it was starting. Alfons is making his move. He is starting to make himself well known. "How amusing." She watched the article with an image of Alfons sitting in the street with other people who just lost their job.
He was trying to make himself look good.
"Miss, please look at the TV." Kasper turned on the TV and Gabi immediately saw Alfons' face. He was being interviewed.
'Mr. Sutton, why are you here? Do you know these people?'
'I saw them protesting here while I was on my way to see my friends the other day. I made my research and discovered that these people just lost their job after the SEO company filed for bankruptcy. However, after looking into the company, I discovered they are hiring new employees and making them work eight to twelve hours per day while they are slowly getting rid of all older employees and even cutting their working hours to four to six hours.'
He continued, 'Some of these employees had been working for at least ten years! They are already in their late thirties or forties, getting a new job at this time is going to be difficult for them. These people have families! They have children! How could SEO Company do something like this? SEO Company! I grew up in the streets before the prime minister found me! I know what it felt like to be homeless! To have no money for food and medicine! I watched my own mother die because I am just a helpless child!'
'So while I don't know this person or anyone here, I don't want their children to experience what I have been through in the past. No child should feel that helpless and worthless! So, SEO Company, I might be powerless but I will do my best to help them! Please give us an explanation of your latest actions or we will continue doing this until one of us dies!'
Gabi couldn't help but clap her hands after Alfons finished speaking. "He is good!" she said. Alfons looked angry and sad. There were tears pooling in his bloodshot eyes, her lips trembled as he tried to contain his anger. "Wow." Alfons' skills are indeed top-notch!
In the previous life, this incident happened too. However, at that time, Gabi joined Alfons in that protest.
Yep, she was foolish enough to do that.
When she saw Alfons in the news, she immediately went to see him and tried to convince him to stop this nonsense. When Alfons refused to do it, Gabi sat next to him and joined the protest until she fainted.
Obviously, her fainting made her grandfather so mad, he contacted the SEO Company and demanded an explanation himself. The company was forced to comply when Grandfather Ren threatened them.
When Gabi woke up the next day, the company already offered an apology and good compensation for everyone who suffered.
But what would happen in this lifetime? Gabi is not going to join him. Meaning, she won't faint and her grandfather would not demand an explanation from SEO Company. Right now, Alfons is known only to the people his age. His classmates from the prominent university know him and admire him but their parents don't.
Even if they do, they would never involve themselves in something like this just for the sake of someone like Alfons. These families were all wealthy and most of them owned a business or two. Meaning, they understood how a corporation worked. Gabi was confident that they knew why SEO Company did it.
Moreover, some of them also knew that SEO Company is backed by a congressman. It would be very hard to attack a company like that.
Hmmm… Now that she thought about it, there is a possibility that Alfons also knew this. However, he still dared to do it in front of the media. Obviously, he wanted to make this as a stepping stone for his future career.
She squinted as a smile appeared on her face.
