The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 202

Chapter 202 Resignation of the CEO

The so-called major clans had a legacy of hundreds, even thousands, of years. Even the Earth-ranked families were beyond the comparison of ordinary prestigious clans.

Take Enssea, for example. The comprehensive strength of the Doman family overshadowed all four of the so-called Big Four families combined in Enssea.

One could even put it this way: the Big Four families in Enssea were originally subordinate to the Doman family.

Undeniably, major families had once, to some extent, contributed to the nation's history. But as time passed, their attitude had changed. They became arrogant, only thinking of absorbing the land's resources without giving anything in return. Worse yet, some malicious individuals among them colluded with external enemies, causing immense harm. While not all eleven major clans were problematic, at least half had become parasites within the country.

"Mhm!" Derek nodded.

"In that case, go back!" After brief contemplation, Billy nodded slightly. "Don't rush into counterattacks. Keep your stance unchanged and focus on discovering the reasons behind their actions."

"I see." Derek agreed with a nod.

"Take care of yourself, and if there are any issues, call me anytime!" Billy continued to give instructions.

"Thank you, Mr Gardner!" Derek expressed his gratitude.

After a slight pause, he continued, "Mr Gardner, I invited you here today because there's something else I want to consult you about."

"Go ahead." Billy picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

"Harper Rodriguez, the CEO of SunPark Group, has resigned. I'm considering having Ms Knight take over the CEO position." Derek handed a cigarette to Billy and continued, "After observing for some time, I believe Ms Knight is entirely capable of the role."

"Resigned?" Billy was slightly taken aback. "Did you make her resign?"

From his perspective, it was clear that Derek Hines had orchestrated this move to push Harleen Knight into the position.

"No, not at all!" Derek shook his head vigorously. "She's leaving to start a business in another city with her husband. I tried to persuade her, but it didn't work."

"I'll believe you for now!" Billy paused before saying, "Harleen has never managed such a big company. Are you confident about entrusting this role to her?"

"Absolutely confident!" Derek nodded firmly.

"You don't know how capable she is within the company. She's a powerhouse, both in management and business. The employees respect her a lot. She's practically the number two in the company now. Most people go to her for help when they have issues. Ms Rodriguez has told me many times that after she leaves, the company shouldn't hire another CEO and instead, let Harleen take her place. She's sure Harleen will do even better!"

"Is that so?" Billy looked somewhat surprised.

He had been so busy lately that he hadn't paid much attention to Harleen's work. He didn't expect her to achieve so much in such a short time.

"Of course it's true!" Derek nodded again and continued, "Additionally, I'm planning to integrate all of World Group's Ozin-based industries, including Ozin Tower, into SunPark Group. This way, I won't need to worry about Ozin anymore. I'll fully entrust it to Ms Knight."

"You're quite confident in Harleen, huh?" Billy took a drag of his cigarette.
