She continued after taking a break, "Finance department, you guys don’t usually have it easy, but as I always say every time, just relax and believe in me. There will never be a shortage of money to use and help those who are in need. But we also need to be careful. Make sure that only those who deserve to be helped can get the money. Don’t let any scammers steal money from us."
"I also don’t expect anyone pretending to be clever to misappropriate and embezzle my funds. I work hard for all this money and I don’t expect anyone to tinker and steal it. If you dare try that, I will make sure you rot in prison. And don’t even think of running away. There is no way any one of you can hide from me. And you guys, this is both a threat and a warning. Not only to the finance department but to everyone."
"I will have everyone’s salaries increased by 10% this year, so the legal team, HR and Finance departments, sit together and draft everything well. Don’t care about the losses, we aren’t a profit organization after all."
"As for my dear executives, I will start with the warnings. Don’t let the eight floors make you feel as if you are above others and that you can do anything just because of your position. If you misuse and abuse your authority, I will deal with you in any way I want."
"Just because I am friendly doesn’t mean I am a pushover. So, I hope that everyone will respect that. Whatever we do here remains here. Don’t let me hear it outside there and let me regret it."
"Anyway, you guys, I hope that this year, you will continue doing great things, spread some love and above all make sure that the foundation always maintains its reputation."
"When the first quarter finishes, I will check all executives’ performances, and the one with high performance, and a better attitude will be promoted to MD. I have too many things to deal with, so I want to pick the best person who has the foundation at heart to lead the foundation in the times when I am not there. You get me, guys!"
When the executives heard that, they all couldn’t help but look at each other, their feelings, thoughts and emotions only known to each other.
"That’s all for individual departments. Now let’s talk about the plans of the foundation this year. What I hope that we will all achieve at least and when I am done, you can also add your own thoughts."
"I believe that during the holidays, all of you found something that we, as a foundation, can do to help other people out there!" she stated as her gaze lingered on every single person in her vicinity.
Diamond picked a bottle of water in front of her and uncorked it before taking several gulps of water.
It was so hot that if her body didn’t have that automatic divine art that converts energies into spiritual power, she would be sweating buckets right now.
Even with her jacket on, her armpits were still very dry, but taking in the scent in the air in the short time they had been in the boarding room, she felt grateful that her life had changed for the better.
"What we will talk about next is very important, so I hope that we will all participate seriously. Now, from my side, I have a few issues I hope you guys will help me solve this year."
"On Christmas, a lot of people suffered because of the heavy rains. Some of the lucky ones are back to normal, while others are not so lucky. So, my first target is those people who were victimized by the heavy rains. I hope that you will tabulate and see which families, especially those with the sick, old and young, were affected and come up with ways we can help them."
"The next issue is about school supplies. We have that school we Find your next favorite novel on NovelHub today! And also go to local schools and see if we can help some children. This will be a new program which will continue in the years. So, whoever is in charge or will be in charge, make sure you create a system that will be understandable. You know the drill, and don’t be fooled."
"Counseling teams, this year I want you to focus on GBV cases. Be it a wife, a husband, a daughter or a son. Spread awareness, make templates or something. Just make sure that we spread the awareness and hope that we won’t be receiving a lot of victims or hearing that someone died because of it."
"So far, these three are the most important cases for me. Now, I will leave the floor for you. Tell me what you have all looked into and what you think we should do this year. Don’t be afraid and just express your thoughts!" after saying everything she wanted without getting interrupted, Diamond finally gave the floor to her many employees.
When the staff heard that, they all couldn’t help but start murmuring to each other, probably discussing what they should talk about.
While doing so, a familiar voice suddenly spoke, attracting everyone’s attention.
"I have something to say!" Ruby, who was sitting with the other staff a distance away from the table, softly called out.
When Diamond heard her little sister speaking out first, she wondered what she wanted to share. She was quite curious about her thoughts and couldn’t wait to hear about it.
Ruby could have shared her opinions with her at home, but she didn’t and that made Diamond even more curious about what her little sister wanted to share with everyone.
It couldn’t be helped. After all, wouldn’t she lose face if her own sister sabotaged her in front of her staff?
But if she were to say something nice, that would bring honor to her as a sister as well.
So, without further ado, she said, "Sure, share with us what you have!" Diamond maintained her expression as she gave Ruby the floor.
