Chapter 85 Does Anyone Refuse To Obey My Orders
It was three o'clock in the afternoon.
About 86 security guards came to the meeting. They seemed impatient and annoyed. And 14 security guards refused to attend the meeting.
10 of them were on a rest day and did not come to work. 4 of them replied that they were too busy to attend the meeting.
The 86 security guards gathered in the corner and talked to each other in threes and fours. Obviously, they were not interested in what Peter was saying.
"Okay, time is up. Lisa, close the door and do not let others in. Guys, I need your attention!"
Peter looked at his watch. It was exactly three o'clock.
Lisa following his order closed the door and stood in the doorway.
However, the security guards were not as prompt to follow his order. They stood up slowly and dragged their bodies to form a line.
What should have taken them one minute took them ten minutes just to form a simple line.
Peter just looked at them calmly. He said nothing, trying not to lose his patience.
"Hello, who the damn are you? Why did you ask for the meeting?"
"Boss, we are busy. We don't have the time for this!" "This is a waste of time!"
Not done complaining, the guards were not shy in showing their impatience. "Go ahead, it's my rest day! Don't waste my time!" could be heard all over the place.
They didn't show any respect to Peter. Everyone was complaining and obviously felt disgusted that they had to be called in for the meeting. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
"Are you done?" Peter said calmly and nobody could tell he was trying to control his anger.
"What's taking you so long? You're wasting our time!"
"Yeah, we don't have to be here even if you are the boss! Bob didn't bother with meetings like this before!"
Several security guards moved away from the line and tried to challenge Peter.
Peter just looked at them and smiled. "You are not happy with me, right? Okay so now is your chance. Those who refuse to obey my orders, raise your hand."
Quickly, at least 50 security guards raised their hands.
When Peter asked them to form a line, they grudgingly obeyed and seemed to be losing their patience with Peter. But what Peter said caught their attention. They raised their hands quickly and listened to what Peter had to say.
In their view, Peter was nothing to them! Therefore, they thought Peter could do nothing to them. That was why they dared raise their hands.
"Well, only 50 people raised their hands. Anyone else?" Peter just quickly looked at them and then paid his attention to the rest security guards who didn't raise their hands.
They looked at each other with apprehension, not sure if they were doing the right thing or not. Finally, they decided not to raise their hands. They all knew what Peter was capable of fighting. They didn't like him, but they were smart enough not to challenge him this way.
"Well, there's no one else. So you guys refuse to obey my rules. Good, it's nice to know we understood each other." Counting the number of men who raised their hands, Peter nodded with satisfaction. "I was expecting that at least 85 of you would raise your hands, but it turns out there are only 50."
"Just 50? Seriously?"
"You're not happy with 50? That's a large number!"
"Let me ask you again. Do you really refuse to obey my orders?" Peter looked the 50 guys and said calmly.
"Yes! We refuse to take any orders from you!" They proudly replied with a high voice.
"Good! Very good!" Peter took out a pile of Termination Agreement of Contract and Severance Agreement and threw them on the table. He looked at them with a big smile. "Sign the paper!"
"What?" "Severance Agreement?" They were confused for a moment and then became enraged after they realized what just hit them.
"Are you serious? We have 50 guys here! If we quit, who will protect the company?"
"You cannot do this to us!"
"What's the big deal? Let's just sign the paper and let him guard the company!"
All the security guards were angered. A dozen of them ran to the table furiously and demanded an explanation. They couldn't believe that Peter could fire them all.
"I'm not threatening you. You raised your hands, remember? Now, sign the paper." Beaming with delight, Peter was very happy with himself, being able to deceive them this way.
Some refused to argue; they just took the paper and signed their names without hesitation.
"Great! Congratulations! Now, you are free to leave Silverland Group. Please proceed to the Financial Department for your salary and bonus. No need to report for work tomorrow."
Peter glanced at the them, smiling and then looked at the remaining security guards. "What are you waiting for? Sign the paper! You asked me not to waste your time. Now, don't waste my time!"
Not satisfied with the situation, he continued," This one piece of paper costs me several cents. Don't let it go to waste. So go ahead and sign your names. By the way, I actually prepared one hundred copies so everyone please feel free to sign your names!"
"The guy is out of his mind! He is serious about this."
The rest of the security guards just stood there, shocked and dismayed by what they heard. They could just look at each other speechless.
The first dozen of security guards were furious.
'Fuck! What a bastard!'
"How dare you do this? You cannot just fire us! And for what reason?"
"I am not doing this. I refuse to leave! You cannot just do this to us!"
"I'm going to report to someone who is in charge! We need to hear it from your boss!"
Everyone was fuming mad. They had to stop their bodies from trembling.
"Why?" Peter answered in a cold voice. "Let me tell you why. I am the head of the Security Department and just to remind you, I am your boss. I don't need security guards who refuse to obey my orders. It's as simple as that. Are you okay with the answer?"
Peter replied in a cold tone.
"You want to report to my boss? Go ahead! I will not stop you. I am the Director of the Security Department. You misbehaved at meetings and you basically told me that you refused to obey my orders. Let's see if the boss would dare take your side.
If you don't want to take orders from me, then it's time for you to look for another boss. I'm actually doing you a favor. You're free to leave the company and find another boss that you will follow. You should be grateful for this opportunity."
After he had done talking, he turned to the other security guards. "Is there anyone else who wants to sign the paper? I'm just being reasonable and I'm giving you a chance to leave and find better opportunities."
The room became silent. Unable to say anything, all they could do was bow their heads.
Finally, they realized what was happening.
Peter was indeed the director of the Security Department. He had every right to fire them if they refused to obey his orders. And they couldn't challenge his decision.
It was useless even if they complained to his boss and Peter got demoted or fired. What was the use of complaining and who would listen to them if they were already terminated from the company.
"Unbelievable! What a bastard! You have balls!"
"You fired us right? We no longer work for the company?" "Now it's our turn. Let's make him pay for this!"
"Yeah, We don't have to be afraid of him now!" "Since this is our last day, let's make it a memorable one for him!"
"You tricked us into doing this and we cannot let you get away with it." "Now, let's give him what he's looking for!"
"Yeah! Do it!"
The security guards who had sighed the paper took off their uniforms and glared at Peter.
They were eager to kick Peter and give him the lesson that he deserved.
Motionless, the remaining security guards just stood on the other side and watched in horror.
These security guards who got fired were their leaders and were skilled fighters. The remaining ones were aware that it was not going to be pleasant and they didn't want to be involved.
