Chapter 31 (Part One)

Everyone looked at the speaker and found it was Mr. Eric.

Mr. Eric had been silent since the meeting. He seldom spoke. Even if he wanted to express his
opinions, it was his assistant who spoke most of the time. There were senior leaders of the two
companies in the negotiation between the AI Group and the E Group, so he didn't need to speak too
much. Even if Lambert said something, Mr. Eric only responded in one or two words from time to time.
Everyone didn't expect that he would take the initiative to speak this time.

"Mr. Eric, isn't it serious enough?" Mr. Wang questioned Eric emotionally.

Eric just kelp calm and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you just want to get your bonus at the end of the
year, and the bonus should be the same as the result of the old index. Mr. Lambert is looking forward to
changing the salary mode of the E Group into the AI Group before the end of the year. I think it's not
difficult to solve it."

Everyone looked at Eric, some of them frowned and some were confused.

Eric stood up and said, "The reason why the human resources department hasn't solved the problem
yet is that the salary officer just said that the salary reform needs the support of the leaders. If the AI
Group is in trouble, the E Group is willing to help the AI Group."

Then Eric turned to look at Nicole and asked, "Miss. Li, how much of your salary reform has not been
completed?"

Miss. Li looked at Nicole, hinting her to speak.

After thinking for a while, Nicole looked at Eric and said, "There's still 30% left."

"Okay, I'll ask the HR Department of the E Group to send someone to assist you and try to finish this
work before the end of the year."



One of the senior executives of the E Group retorted in a low voice, "Mr. Eric... That's maybe not good.
Now that the AI Group has become the owner of the E Venture Capital Company, even if they need
someone for help, it should be the AI Group to help. We can't interfere... "

Eric just said with a smile, "We are all shareholders, and this year is the key period for the transition of
the cooperation between the two companies. Although the major shareholder is the AI Group, the profit
and loss of this year is still included in the E Group. Why are you so care about it? Since Mr. Lambert is
in trouble, I think Mr. Lambert won't mind if we help you. Mr. Lambert, do you think so? "

Lambert said with a fake smile. He had planned to give Nicole a hard time and drive out of these
people of the E Group by the way, but he didn't expect that it was resolved by Eric. It was not easy to
refuse Eric since Eric wanted to help him to solve it, and once he refused, his purpose of public
vengeance would be exposed.

So, with a smile on his face, Lambert said, "Mr. Eric, of course I accept your kindness."

"But even so, according to the new index, our bonus is still much less than last year." Mr. Wang still
objected.

As if he had expected, Eric smiled at Mr. Wang and said in a calm tone, "The salary for this year still is
paid by the E Group. We understand that Mr. Lambert wants to reform the salary. But since we have
agreed to pay you 5 points in the last year, Mr. Lambert now just only pays you 4 points, and the E
Group will also pay you the other point. This amount of bonus doesn't go through the examination and
approval process of the AI Group. Instead, it will only be used as the year-end bonus given by the E
Group."

Everyone in the meeting room was surprised. Some of them were stunned for a long time before they
realized what Eric had said. 'Did Eric mean that the E Group would make up for the loss of the



employees on behalf of the AI Group? But why? It was a dispute caused by the AI Group. The E Group
obviously didn't have to pay the money back in'

Mr. Wang thought for a while and seemed to be convinced, but no matter how he thought, he felt that it
was against the rules. He frowned again.

When Eric announced this, some senior executives of the E Group objected, of course. One of them
said, "I don't agree with you, Mr. Eric. We also have to explain it to our shareholders. This is an internal
matter of the AI Group, and we don't need to make up for the loss."

Eric shook his head and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, you're wrong. It's not just about the internal affairs
of the AI Group. On the contrary, the E Group should be responsible for the expenses."

Mr. Liu looked at Eric disapprovingly.

"Which company does the profit and loss of this fiscal year belong to? It is the E Group. Who need to
pay for the year-end bonus this year? It is still the E Group. Therefore, we should pay everyone all the
dividends we have planned for the last year. It can't be reduced because of the reform of the company
and the new shareholders. As a big company, I think it's necessary for the E Group to pay the
employees accurately and timely according to the rules."

Eric was right. A conscientious and honest entrepreneur should be like this. They couldn't evade their
responsibilities and give the employees the benefits they should enjoy. This was also a good way to
retain and attract talents.

The others were silent. Firstly, Eric was the CEO of the E Group. Secondly, what Eric said was true and
no one could refute him.



Seeing that everyone was silent, Eric nodded and said, "Since everyone has no objection, it means
that this plan is feasible. Mr. Lambert, what do you think?"

Lambert touched his chin and lowered his eyes as if he was thinking about something, he finally said in
a low voice, "I have no objection."

As soon as Lambert said that, the other people who wanted to make trouble couldn't do anything else.
With a smile, Eric returned to his seat.
