At that moment, Fade scribbled some formulas on a piece of paper and handed them to Lily. "I have a few new formulas. Let's focus on these for the next season."

"W-What..." Ramsey was completely dumbfounded. He could be spending days and nights developing a new formula but it might not even work. Yet, Fade could casually write down several formulas and present them. The difference between their capabilities was just too huge. Ramsey could only stand there in bewilderment.

Fade snorted at his reaction. "Why are you still doing here? You have been dismissed."

"President Chen, I -" Ramsey wanted to go back on his words.

But Fade did not give him the chance to repent. He instructed the security guard, "Come in and take him away."

"President Chen, I'm sorry! Lily, please give me a second chance. I was bewitched by others, and I wouldn't dare to do it again. I..." Ramsey cried out while he was dragged out.

When he was gone, Fade turned his gaze to the rest of Ryan's men. He walked past them one by one, held onto their chairs, and asked, "Are the rest of you going to resign too?"

"I happen to know the An family, the Qian family, and also the Dai family in Dragonville. They can provide me with some working partners. I also have some shares in the Li family's properties in Jade City. I can easily transfer some people over to replace you all," he said casually.

Upon hearing this, their faces turned even paler. They immediately volt-faced and tried to save themselves.

"President Chen, we don't intend to resign."

"Yes, that's right. We are not like Ramsey. We don't want to resign at all."

"That's right. We were just sharing our opinions."

"Really? Then, do you have any other opinions now?" Fade asked.

They quickly waved their hands and answered, "Not at all. We totally agree with you and Miss Wei's decision. Whatever it is, you have our support."

"Well, that's good." Fade smiled and then approached Ryan.

Ryan saw that his allies were either dismissed or had changed their stance. At that moment, his face darkened and his expression was twisted.

He quickly evaluated the current situation, and finally realized he could never defeat Fade now. Hence, he could only surrender even though he was very unwilling to.

Ryan came to a decision in his heart. It would be better for him to surrender now. At the very least, he would be able to keep his job. Then, he could look for better timing in the future.

After all, Lily was still inexperienced. Fade, on the other hand, rarely visited the company or even Dragonville. Ryan could slowly carry out his plan once Fade left this place.

Ryan felt that this was the best solution at the moment. Therefore, he forced a smile and was ready to admit defeat to Fade. "President Chen, I also-"

However, before Ryan could finish his words, Fade said to him curtly, "Ryan, the company will repurchase the shares in your possession. You can resign after that. Considering that you are a long-time employee, I'll let you leave in dignity."

"What? No..." Ryan was utterly caught off guard. Soon, his shock turned into anger. He didn't want to leave the company, and he absolutely didn't expect that his shares would be repurchased.

Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had developed rapidly in the past two years, and the company's value had increased greatly. The shares under his name were absolutely valuable. How could he be willing to let all of them go?

"President Chen, I know I was wrong. I promise I will never..." Ryan still wanted to change his stance.

Nonetheless, Fade didn't intend to negotiate with him at all. He slammed his palm on the table and then questioned in a sombre voice, "Do you want me to do it, or do you want me to have the Sky Martial Arts Centre or the Sun family to get involved?"

Hearing this, Ryan shivered in fear. The Sky Martial Arts Centre was a rising martial club in Dragonville for the past two years. Their martial artists were known to be skillful in their fights.

As for the Sun family, they were the most powerful family in Dragonville before Fade' s arrival. Especially the head of the Sun family, Francesca. She was listed as the top among Black Level martial arts masters, and her capabilities were beyond Ryan's imagination.

Ryan was truly in fear. He knew that if he didn't agree with Fade, both his job and his life would ultimately be at risk.

Being stuck in this situation, Ryan didn't dare to disobey. He nodded quickly and said, "I'll resign. I'll resign immediately."

"Wise choice." Fade nodded and patted Ryan on the shoulder. Then, he returned to his seat.

"Now that the matter has been resolved, you can move on with the procedures," Fade said and smiled at Lily.

Lily glanced at Fade with a grateful smile. Although Fade's method was slightly excessive, the effect was extraordinary. It left everyone in shock and no one dared to have second thoughts anymore. Lily quickly wrapped up the remaining affairs left to address and then ended the meeting.

It was already approaching noon once the meeting was dismissed.

Lily returned to the office. She wanted to ask her secretary to deliver lunch, but Fade barged in and tugged on her arm. He said, "Sister Lily, let's have lunch together. I want to have a chat with you." Lily's heart skipped a beat as she knew what Fade wanted to talk about. After a brief moment of silence, Lily nodded and said, "Let's go to the cafeteria then."

Soon after, the two came to the cafeteria and ordered a few dishes. They sat in a private booth and began to eat and chat.

Fade ate a few mouthfuls of food. Seeing that Lily hadn't touched her food, he couldn't help saying, "Sister Lily, you've worked hard for the whole morning. You should eat some."

Lily looked up at Fade and spoke in a low voice, "Fade, you want to talk about Quin. Am I right?"

Hearing this, Fade's smile gradually faded. He stopped eating and returned her gaze. "Yes. I really want to know why Quin decided to leave me so suddenly. I want to know where she went."

Lily trembled slightly, then she shook her head and replied, "I don't know either. I'm also surprised that Quin left."

Fade said, "When Quin entrusted the company to you, she must have talked to you about this. I want to know how she was doing at that time. What happened during my absence?"

Looking at how upset Fade was getting, Lily shook her head again and sighed. "I don't know either. I asked her when she came to me to discuss the company's affairs, but she didn't explain further. She only said that this was a test for me."
