Salute To The General

Chapter 168 Father In Law Turns Fifty

The next day, Benson Smith arrived at the office as usual, all geared up.

However, once he reached the office, he found himself being approached by May, who was

accompanied by a few other senior management personnel of the company. The woman was holding

the letter of his dismissal.

As the woman handed Benson Smith the official letter, she let out a cold laugh and said, "Uncle, you've

been released from your position. The chairman has appointed me as the general manager of Diva

Limited with effect from today. You should get packing and leave the office as soon as possible."

Benson Smith could not believe his eyes when he saw the letter of dismissal.

After he snapped out of his shock, he became agitated and said, "This can't be true. Dad has just

praised me a while back for doing a good job. How is it possible that I'm suddenly fired?"

The man immediately took out his phone and made a call to his dad, Sean Smith.

Sean Smith picked up just after a few rings. He spoke in a laidback manner, "Hey Benson, May was in

charge of Diva Limited for a long time and is more familiar with the fashion industry. After some serious

contemplation, I decided that she's still the best person to manage the company."

Benson Smith was still in denial. His voice was shaking as he said, "Dad, but I..."

An obvious hint of displeasure could be heard from Sean Smith's voice when he spoke, "Benson, you

can't be selfish. We have to look at the big picture.”

Benson Smith's face darkened as he said softly, "Okay, Dad, I understand. I'll do as you say and hand
