Chapter 25
Their words were heard by many people and immediately caused a huge commotion!
The new chairman of the ZQ Media was a big shot among the big shots. If they could get the favor of
the new chairman, they would have great benefits.
For a moment, the crowd became noise. Those beautiful women who were going to apply for the job
took out small mirrors to fix their makeup, and tried their best to show their most beautiful side, trying to
win the favor of the new chairman. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Megan's blood was boiling, and her lips were trembling with excitement, too. She was the most
beautiful and having the best figure of all the candidates. If she could be bolder, she had a great
chance to seduce the new chairman!
At this moment, when she saw Tom, who was still giggling, she felt that he was a great disgrace. He
was also a man, but he had a great difference in social standing with the chairman.
However, while they looked around with their necks stretched out, they did not see the new chairman.
They couldn't help but be curious. Didn't they say that the new chairman had arrived? Why didn't they
see him?
Tom did not appear at first. He stood there, and everyone's eyes brushed across him, then moved
away disdainfully. It never occurred to them that the new chairman they were going to fawn on was the
poor guy they looked down on.
After waiting for three minutes, many people began to wonder if Elliot had made a mistake. A senior
leader beside Elliot asked doubtfully, "Mr. Cook, are you sure the new chairman has come?"
Elliot said, "Of course. The new chairman had called me just now and said that he was downstairs."
"Then why isn't there anyone? Could it be that the new chairman didn't see us come down early to
greet him and left dissatisfiedly?"
"Yes, it's not a good idea for us to wait like this. If the new chairman really blames us for not welcoming
him in advance, we have to make up for it."
"Mr. Cook, I think you should call the new chairman?"
Elliot thought about it and felt that he had to call the new chairman to ask what was going on. If he was
really blamed by the new chairman, and if he was unhappy and fired them all, it would be over!
They were all sophisticated who had been in the workplace for many years. Naturally, they knew about
this kind of acquisition dangered their positions. If they were not careful enough, they would be easily
fired by the new boss at any time. They did not believe that the person who could spend 2.5 billion
acquiring a company would not have a professional team in his hands.
At their age, if they were fired, they would lose their jobs, which they would never want to see. If the
new chairman had a special hobby, they could even sacrifice themselves. This was how serious the
situation was.
Elliot dialed Tom's number. Everyone held their breath and did not dare to make a sound. They looked
around for the new chairman.
However, at this moment, they heard the ringtone of a classic Nokia. Everyone looked in the direction
of the voice and saw the very surprising scene.
It was Tom. He took out his phone from his pocket with a lazy smile on his face and answered the
phone. "Hello?"
Elliot's back was facing Tom and he did not see Tom. He quickly said respectfully, "Hello, chairman. I'm
already downstairs. Where are you?"
Tom's voice came from the phone. "I'm behind you."
Elliot quickly turned around and saw a young man dressed in ordinary clothes looking at him with a
smile. He was stunned at that time. Was this man the new chairman?
Not only him, but everyone was equally stunned. They thought they were hallucinating. Tom, who came
here with an electric car, dressed in cheap clothes, looked down on by almost all of them, was the new
chairman of the ZQ Media?
Oh god, this world was too crazy!
Patrick was dumbfounded. His mouth wide open and could swallow a child's fist!
Megan's expression was also extremely wonderful. She was completely stunned. She would never
have thought that Phoebe's useless husband would be the new chairman of the ZQ Media. This was
too unreal. She wondered if she was hallucinating!
Tom was happy to see their reaction. He coughed twice and Elliot came back to his senses. He quickly
trotted over and asked tentatively, "Are you, Tom, the new chairman of our ZQ Media?"
He felt it was necessary to ask clearly, in case he would make a mistake and be awkward.
The young man in front of him didn't look like a top millionaire who could afford 2.5 billion dollars.
How could Tom not know what he was thinking? He immediately put away his smile and put on a
serious look. In an instant, a powerful aura emanated from him. This was the aura from the high
society!
Elliot's facial expression changed and he trembled. He immediately believed that the man in front of
him was ZQ's new chairman. Only people in high positions could exude such a powerful aura.
"What, do you think I'm an imposter?" Tom said with a cold face and a half-smile.
Elliot trembled and was frightened. He shook his head hurriedly and said, "No, no! How dare I? I'm
shocked that you're so young. You're indeed extraordinary among people. Even in ordinary people's
clothes, you're still outstanding! Under your leadership, our company will definitely have great
success!"
Flattering Tom, Elliot was relieved to see him smile again.
Other higher-ups also came around, trying their best to curry favor with Tom.
"I've heard a lot about you, chairman. Meeting you today it's my honor!"
"Chairman, you're too extraordinary..."
"Chairman, I'm the manager of the marketing department..."
"Chairman, I'm..."
Tom nodded. He smiled at the flattery of these company leaders. He had not experienced this familiar
feeling for a long time.
At this time, he saw Patrick, whose face was already pale and who was trembling with fear in the
crowd. His eyes turned and he smiled mysteriously, "Patrick of the HR Department, is whose
subordinate?"
Hearing Tom's words, the executives were confused. They didn't understand why the new chairman
would ask such a small person. Was this Patrick a relative of the new chairman?
As the manager of the HR Department, Bob immediately stood up and said loudly, "Chairman, Patrick
is my subordinate. He's doing very well in our department. I was just about to recommend him for a
promotion."
"Really?" Tom smiled meaningfully. The next moment, his face turned cold. "From today on, you and
Patrick have been fired."
"What?!"
Bob was stunned. What was going on?
Patrick, who was not far away, was about to cry when he heard this. Only then did he realize how big a
mistake he had made just now.
