Lord Protector Novel

Meanwhile, Susan rushed over to the headquarter of Linton Group.

She told Zeke about the hardship Reagan Pharmaceutical faced and requested Zeke for his aid.

The suppliers had gathered at Reagan Pharmaceutical’s doorstep and demanded their receivables. They had unanimously agreed to stop supplying them with the required materials.

It was the same for Reagan Pharmaceutical’s distributors as well. They demanded the company to refund them.

As of now, the company’s operation had been brought to a halt as hundreds of their workers were on strike.

Consequently, they were generating losses on a daily basis.

As soon as Zeke grasped the situation, he replied, “We can deal with the suppliers and distributors easily. After all, the only thing they are coming after is money. However, the same can’t be said for the frontline workers.”

In return, Susan nodded and expressed her agreement. “Yes. That’s what I have in mind as well. After all, the frontline workers are the mainstay of the factories. If we can’t win them over, we’re but a nominal supervisor.”

Zeke nodded as well. “I believe the other four shareholders are the ones behind the riots because they don’t want us to get our hands on Reagan Pharmaceutical. Susan, I need you to head over to the office and stall them for the time being. Try to win them over if it’s possible.”

However, Susan replied with a helpless expression on her face, “Sigh... Mr. Williams, to be honest, I have already gotten in touch with them two days ago. However, my effort was to no avail. Please forgive me for being incompetent. I’m afraid there’s nothing much I’m capable of. I believe you will have to deal with them yourself, Mr. Williams.”

With a smile, Zeke replied, “Don’t worry. I’ll rush over as soon as I’m done with the things I have on my plate.”

“Alright.” Susan felt a sense of relief when she heard Zeke’s reply. She turned around and departed thereafter.

Soon after Susan departure, Hadley showed up in Zeke’s office.

The moment Zeke saw her, he asked, “How is it going? Have you figured out the reason behind the riot?”

“I did. You’re right, Mr. Williams. Jacob is the one who has provoked the suppliers and the distributors. I’m certain he’s the one provoking the frontline workers as well,” Hadley explained her findings.

“Tell me what you’ve learned about the strike,” Zeke instructed.

Hadley went on. “Johnathan, one of the most senior employees of the company, is the one who has initiated the strike. He is in desperate need of his wage because his mother is bedridden. However, it had been a few weeks since the due of their wages. Hence, he initiated the strike to demand their wages.”

“As a matter of fact, Johnathan’s mother used to be one of the company’s employees as well. She had been attached to the company’s cafeteria for the past two decades. Everyone from the company had come in touch with her. Due to her friendly and easy-going nature, everyone had taken a liking to her. As soon as they figured out what happened to Johnathan’s mother, the frontline workers decided to take his side and join him.”

Hadley reached for a stack of documents she had with her and handed it over to Zeke as soon as she finished her sentence. “Here are the details. Please go through it on your own.”

Zeke nodded and praised Hadley, “Good job! Here’s another task for you.”

He leaned over and whispered his upcoming plan.
