Chapter 64 Full Authority Over The Department

The following morning, Jack woke up as usual. There was no need for him to hurry anything at all. Now that his body had become strong, there was no need for him to go to the gym. The gym was like a place for children. If he went there, it would be no different from an adult going to a kindergarten playground.

After breakfast, Jack took one of the Bentaygas in the compound and drove it towards the Business Overlord Building. He was going to meet up with Grace on this day. After that, he would be heading to Venture city.

By the time that he would be done with the meeting and signing the contract with grace, he was sure that Gabriel Wadi, the pilot that he had just hired, would have arrived. And with that, he could head to venture city for the issue concerning the Safety Enforcers security company.

Not long after, Jack arrived at the overlord building. Tim greeted him as usual. Jack liked this guy as he was quite diligent in his duties. He decided that if Tim wanted to change the company that he was working with, he surely would take him in.

The Business Overlord Building was as desolate as before. Since only one department was here at this moment, there were not that many people. Furthermore, it was only the management of the grocery department that was here and not all the employees of the department.

After taking the elevator, Jack arrived on the thirtieth floor. He went ahead and placed the newly bought laptop on his desk before taking a seat. Currently, it was slightly thirty minutes past eight in the morning.

The sun was still warm on the skin as it shone on him through the huge floor to ceiling windows. Jack relaxed for a moment as he enjoyed the sun.

After about ten minutes, he called Grace. After a moment, the call connected. "Hello Mr Jack. Good morning."

"Morning Ms. Grace. When you reach the building, you can find me on the thirtieth floor." Jack greeted back before stating the reason for calling.

"Oh, I have already arrived. I'll be there in two minutes." Grace stated.

"Okay then." Jack nodded before ending the call. He then thought that this Grace was really meticulous in her dealings. It was just around a quarter to 9, the appointment time, but she had already arrived. It seemed that this was one of the traits of the employees that were serious about time management.

Jack didn't have to wait for long before he heard a knock on the door. On this floor, once a person reached it, they would arrive at a corridor first before entering his office.

A lady then walked into the office. Her temperament showed that she was both capable and decisive. There was confidence in each and every step of her's. Just from the outlook, Jack could tell that she seemed to be in her late twenties.

She was wearing an official brown business suit that completely matched her cold face. Although she was a beauty, her face gave the vibe that she didn't want to be disturbed.

On the other hand, although she had expected that Jack would be young just from his voice, she never thought that he would be this young. From the way that he looked, it was as if he was just entering his second decade.

Apart from that, his silver hair and blue eyes were quite unique and gave a majestic vibe. Just from the way that he was seated there, she could feel some kind of oppression from him, the kind that she had only felt from the big bosses.

No, it seemed to be even more powerful than what she had felt from the big bosses. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of background Jack had for him to have such a temperament at such a young age.

Just from his sharp blue eyes accompanied with his handsome face that had no emotions currently, she felt her evaluation of him rising.

Of course, Jack didn't know that his temperament and the way that he carried himself had changed after receiving the professional combatant ability. His muscle memory seemed the same, but this was in fact due to the merging of the pieces of memories that had come alongside the reward.

After arriving in front of the desk, Jack immediately motioned for her to seat. And after seating, without waiting for Jack to speak, she took out a few documents and handed them over to Jack.

Jack received them and took a look. He read through them one by one and was impressed. Grace had graduated from a good university in the country, Achievers University. It was amongst the best ten universities in the country and was ranked ninth.

She had performed well and currently, she had already gotten her masters degree, the PhD was the one that was missing. But overall, her educational background could be considered to be excellent.

As for her performance, that would depend on how she performed here. If she did well, Jack might as well promote her in the future once the enterprise expanded.

After placing the documents back on the desk, Jack said, "You can send me these documents to my email later. As for the contract, what conditions do you think will ensure that your performance is at its peak?"

Grace was startled for a moment by that question. She thought that the employees were the ones being given the conditions that they needed to fulfill so that they could be employed. Now, here Jack was asking her if there was a condition that she needed for her performance to be at the peak.

Although she was somehow stunned, she regained her composure in a few breaths as she replied. "The thing that I mainly want is support in the decisions that I make for the department. After all, before making a decision, I always make sure to have done enough research about it first."

Jack nodded. He wasn't planning to get involved in the management himself. He would only be involved if necessary. Otherwise, he would just relax while trying to find other opportunities to invest in.

"Secondly, it could be good if I can get enough financial support. There are some activities that might need money. So, it would be good if money is readily available. In this way, in case of emergencies, I can easily deal with them without having to go around just to get the money."

"Finally, that would be the authority to evaluate the subordinates by introducing some of the methods that I myself know. If they perform poorly, I can be allowed to dismiss one and hire another."

Jack looked at her and said simply, "You don't have to worry about that. In fact, the moment that you're going to take over your post, I will be leaving everything to you. So, you'll be making the decisions concerning the department. I will only get myself involved if necessary."

"As for finances, you don't need to worry about that. There should be enough capital to ensure the stability of the department as well as expand. So, that's the least problem."

"And finally, you can evaluate the ones below you. If their performance is average, you can as well dismiss them. In other words, I'm giving you power over the entire department. So, you can do whatever you want as long as the results are good. But if they're not good, you know what will happen."

Grace had her mouth agape the moment that Jack finished speaking. She never thought that she would be given this kind of freedom. She had thought that she would need to ask for permission to do almost everything.

But it turned out that this boss was so generous and he knew her character so well. She couldn't help but thank Celine in her heart for recommending her to Jack.

"Thank you boss." Grace stood up and gave Jack a slight bow. "I will make sure to do my best here."

Jack nodded. Then, he sent Chris a message to come to the thirtieth floor. And not long after, he arrived.

"Good morning boss, Ms. Grace," Chris greeted the moment that he entered the office. He had already met with Grace downstairs when she was about to come in. Furthermore, Jack had already informed him about her.

Jack nodded and motioned for him to take a seat. After that, he said, "Chris, this is Ms. Grace. She will be the one in charge of the department. You'll be her vice. But, if your performance doesn't match with her target, she has the authority to dismiss you. In other words, she has full authority over the department."

Although Chris had expected that he wouldn't be the one at the top, he never thought that he would drop in less than a week. But, if the boss said so, what could he do? He could only obey and do whatever Jack wanted.

So, he nodded his head in agreement. Furthermore, he looked at Grace with a hint of respect. He knew that Jack didn't just take in anyone to manage a business for him. And since he had chosen Grace as the head of the entire department, Grace must have abilities to make him make this decision.

"By the way, did you open the account that I asked you to?" Jack asked.

"Yes boss." Chris nodded in agreement.

Jack nodded and asked for the account number. Immediately after that, he transferred $1,159,520,179 to that account. This was his decision, wanting to remove the many figures and remain with a string of zeroes.

After his expenditure the previous day, he had a balance of $9,962,985,379. Then, that night, another $196,534,800 entered the account after being multiplied by the system bringing his balance to $10,159,520,179. Now, his balance was at $9B.

He looked at Grace as he handed her the card and said, "There's slightly over $1B in the card. I believe it should be enough to dominate the city when it comes to groceries, right?"

Chris: "w(°o°)w"

Grace: "＼(°o°)／"
