"Exactly! As if anyone cares. With my professional level, I would have already been a millionaire if I’d gone to the developed countries in Europe and America."

"Ha! Such low monthly salary, as if anyone would miss that. Just fire us already; I am going to apply for immigration tomorrow."

"Perfect! My family has already gone abroad, leaving me, an old man, here. I’ve wanted to leave for a long time."

The few people talked over each other, all pointing directly at Wang Ye.

Although it was unclear whether or not they truly didn’t care or whether they could actually find a new job that paid a million US dollars annually, at the very least, they did not succumb to Wang Ye’s "despotic power"!

Alexander, seeing the situation become chaotic, promptly stood up to mediate: "Everyone, calm down! There’s no need... no need for this..."

Hearing that these people were even threatening to resign, Wang Ye calmly laughed and said: "Resignation is fine, but don’t even think about making money abroad!"

The few people were startled, unsure of what he meant.

Yuri scoffed and said: "What? Even if we resign, you can still control us? A joke!"

"I sure can! Even if there are foreign companies willing to offer millions of dollars in annual salary to hire you, didn’t you think why they would be willing to pay such a high price? Ask yourself, are you worth it!"

Wang Ye’s words hit the nail on the head!

Yuri and the others were stunned into silence, struggling to find any words.

Indeed, everyone was not a fool. They understood that those foreign companies were willing to pay such a large sum of money to attract them, not because of their so-called managerial skills.

As for professional knowledge, frankly speaking, perhaps they started off as technical personnel, but after so many years of being managers, would they still have cutting-edge professional knowledge?

Others would pay so much, not for them, but for the confidential information on the fighter jets, bombers, and transport aircraft of their company!

However, these were things they couldn’t admit.

Yuri said stubbornly: "We are indeed worth the money! Besides, when we are dismissed, naturally we can go wherever we want. What right do you have to control us?"

Wang Ye calmly said: "I suspect you are selling the country’s military technology secrets, so you can’t work abroad, you can only honestly stay at home."

Yuri and the others were dumbfounded...

If someone else had said these words, they may have laughed them off as a joke.

But the problem was that the person saying this was not simple.

Mikhail is not only the chairman of United Aviation Group, but also a member of the Duma and the Economic Committee!

He can speak directly to the Safety Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If he says that they can’t leave the country, they probably couldn’t!

Moreover, Mikhail does not even need to use his personal contacts. He could directly propose legislation in the Duma, stating that anyone who is involved in military technology secrets is not allowed to leave the country. Surely, then they would be in for a shock.

Yuri was silent for quite a while, then he said angrily: "Don’t think you can cover up the sky with one hand! I don’t believe no one can do anything about you. Let’s wait and see! Let’s go, we are going to complain to the leader!"

With that, Yuri and the others angrily stormed out of the room.

Wang Ye, Yelena, and Alexander were the only ones left in the meeting room.

Alexander was so anxious he was wringing his hands, muttering, "What’s gotten into them today? Are they drunk? Mr. Chairman, it’s all right. I will give them a call later and communicate with them properly."

He was, of course, anxious.

Just having been appointed manager by the chairman, this was an enormous opportunity for him!

If Yuri and the others made a fuss, he might lose his position as manager...

Wang Ye, however, was not worried at all. He laughed lightly: "Sit down, it’s okay. Who can they complain to about me? Even if heaven’s ruler came, they must apologize to me! Otherwise, they will have to get the hell out, and they will only be able to stay at home and retire. Earn US dollars? Keep dreaming!"

Seeing Wang Ye so confident, what else could Alexander say? He could only sigh.

Then he sat down, and they both started to discuss the work arrangements for United Aviation Group in the future.

...

Yuri and the others, who were on the younger side (those in their forties and fifties), were in the prime of their life.

Of course, they were unwilling to be fired and forced to retire at home.

They still wanted to make progress in their careers.

Moreover, in this era of economic downturn, their families were reliant on them to provide for them.

If they were truly to be fired, it was likely they wouldn’t receive their pensions, so would their family have to go hungry...?

After leaving the meeting room, they agreed to sort this matter out slowly.

"Is there really no one who can control him? I don’t believe in such evil! We should just go to the Duma and complain to the speaker. I have dealt with him before and have his number," Yuri said through gritted teeth.

"That’s a good idea, we’ll go with you. I believe the speaker will handle this matter fairly, he should, at least, apologise to us. This matter will not end until he does," someone immediately echoed.

So, they all went together to the Duma to complain to the speaker...

...

After discussing the work with Alexander, Wang Ye also had a working lunch with him.

Regarding Alexander, Wang Ye made it clear that the integration of several branches was left to him.

As for the major personnel power within the group, it was given to him as long as he could integrate them as soon as possible. He didn’t need to report in advance who he wanted to use.

Afterwards, he would report to his assistant, Yelena.

Now, since he was the chairman and didn’t need to worry about money, he would inject a large sum of money into it!

Alexander was moved beyond words, his face flushed with excitement.

After suffering for so many years, was he finally about to have a good life now...?

...

In the afternoon, just as Wang Ye returned to the Duma Building, he received a phone call from Speaker Grezlov, asking him to come over.

Without thinking too much, Wang Ye immediately left the building and went to Grezlov’s office.

As soon as he entered and greeted him, Grezlov said in a reproaching tone: "What’s with the high-level meeting of the United Aviation Group you organised today? A few general managers have come to me to complain about you. They said you were acting despotic and disrespectful to them, and even told them to get out. Is this true?"

Wang Ye was stunned. He certainly hadn’t expected that these old men could complain to Grezlov.

And it was something that happened just this morning and the speaker knew about it this afternoon...

But even so, what more could happen?
