Chapter 1473
In the first few days after Robin took over the Harper Group, he was in meetings nearly non stop. He needed to
understand and reform the past ways of operation. This big of a company wasn’t something you could overhaul in
just a blink of an eye.
However, the higher–ups at the Harper Group seemed a bit out of it, giving off a half–hearted vibe.
Robins face had been grave for several days, with the atmosphere at the meetings escalating daily. Finally, he just
tossed the documents in his hand aside, sat in the chairman’s seat, and stared at the others in the meeting room
with furrowed brows.
“Got anything to say about these meetings in the past couple of days?”
A few senior managers glanced at each other before someone slowly spoke up,
“The company’s morale is unstable right now. The previous ways of operation were figured out step by step, only
stabilizing after several failures. The employees are used to seeing the former CEO as the backbone. We have no
objections to you taking over the company, but you wanting to reform the old ways of operations just after taking
office is a hard pill to swallow.”
Hearing this, Robin scoffed, “The former CEO?”
The senior manager who spoke paused, looking a bit embarrassed. The atmosphere in the meeting room became
somewhat awkward, but since someone had broken the ice, another person with an opinion spoke up.
*Also, the thing the former CEO said to the media on the day he stepped down…we can’t just ignore it…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the meeting room fell silent. On the day Damon stepped down, he only said
one thing to the media.

After a while, Robin let out a cold laugh.
“Take on the Harper Group full force, huh?”
The smile on his face gradually cooled. “Tell me, what makes him so famous now, and why do you trust him so
much? Without the support of the Harper Group, how is he going to fulfill his so–called ‘full force against the Harper
Group‘?
Afterwards, he scoffed again, “Youngsters, a bit of arrogance is okay, but believing in such unrealistic talk is
inappropriate, don’t you think?”
The meeting room fell silent again. They weren’t ignorant.
Hearing about a full–scale attack on the large Harper Group sounded unrealistic.
Damon was alone, without any support. Even if his current girlfriend turned into the princess of Y Country, the well–
rooted foundation of the Harper Group wouldn’t be easily shaken.
Of course, they recognized the current strength of the Harper Group. But, when they saw Damon calmly saying
these words in front of the media, they all felt a tightening in their hearts, subconsciously believing Damon’s
seemingly boastful words.
Not only them, but everyone who heard his words didn’t question them. It was probably because the words came
from Damon.
“With his temper, I don’t think he’s just blowing smoke!”
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This was the crux of the matter. How could Damon casually say
things he wasn’t sure about? After working under his leadership for so many years, his determination and
decisiveness were well known to his subordinates.
Robin did not explicitly agree or disagree. “That’s why I want to change some of the operating strategies he set up.
I admit, the person who knows the Harper Group best in this world, is him! So we need to make changes as soon as
possible. If he plans to take action, he will directly attack some of the key issues inside the Harper Group. This is the
only reason I can think of why he would say those words. If we don’t come up with a suitable response, are we just
going to sit here and wait to die?”
“His capability is the best stabilizing factor for the Harper Group, and we’re all family, so why make things so
tense?!”
No matter what Damon said, the current situation was something they all didn’t want to see. The only thing that
could reassure them was to bring Damon back!
Robin kept a poker face. “According to your words, with Damon’s personality, do you think it’s possible for him to go
back on his decisions?”
Things were at a standstill again. So they were sitting here now, and no matter what they said, it was useless.
If Damon couldn’t come back, then necessary countermeasures needed to be taken.
“I think, the biggest problem now is that the company has enemies both inside and outside! A perfectly good
company has turned into a complete mess, and now it’s a laughingstock.” One of the senior managers stood up, his
face grim. After saying these words, he just walked out.
Robin’s face didn’t change, he continued, “The project of Alonso Corporation has received full support. I had talked
to Cole before, and he has left a tenth of the investment quota for the Harper Group. Before the project starts, I
plan to put this tenth of the funds in.”
His words were met with opposition from everyone.
“We all know Damon resigned because of the Alonso family! Over the years, the company has also cut off many

“The Alonso family seems to be thriving on the surface, but in reality, it’s still Cole who’s in charge. Every year of
cooperation, he uses his position to extract more profits from the Harper Group, and when problems arise, he
doesn’t take responsibility, and we have to bear the losses.
“The few projects the Harper Group cooperated with Alonso Corporation on, didn’t really bring us much benefit!
“Not only due to Damon’s personal issues but from the long–term development of the Harper Group, we all think
it’s right to keep a distance from the Alonso family! Even if the Alonso family’s situation had improved a bit, if you
accepted their goodwill now, they would stick to you like glue in the future!
“Sure, Cole had got some chops, but the future leader of the Alonso’s was gonna be Wendy. Everyone knew what
she was like. The Alonso family would just be a burden for the Harper Group in the future!”
Robin’s usually chill expression had finally shown some real anger recently. “The Alonso family and the Harper
family have always been tight, and supporting each other is just the decent thing to do. Because Wendy is gonna
run the Alonso’s in the future, it is even more reason for us, the Harpers, to step up and help rather than just
standing by. Otherwise, where’s the dignity of the Harper family?”
With that, Robin slammed his hand down on the table. “The Harper Group will definitely chip in for a tenth of the
Alonso family’s company investment. I won’t miss this sure–fire opportunity! This decision is finall Finance
Department, get the funds ready! As soon as the money’s good to go, transfer it right away!”
No sooner were the words out of his mouth than he didn’t give anyone a chance to argue. He pushed back his chair
and strutted out of the conference
room.
