Chapter 440
Calliope and Monty spent the entire morning tackling the company’s issues head-
on.
Monty initially thought the company was in trouble because many clients didn’t want to work with them because of Calliope and Silas. But after he shared all the problems with Calliope, she quickly pinpointed numerous issues, including some he hadn’t noticed.
Not only did she identify the problems, but she also proposed solutions, and her speed was astonishing.
Monty stared at her in disbelief, his face a mix of shock and awe. He had always underestimated her, regarding her as a loser, yet here she was, sharp as a tack, solving problems with ease.
“You’re a real piece of work. You’ve let the company get to this point, and you didn’t even notice the embezzlement happening right under your nose. Are you blind p>
Calliope sifted through some company accounts and documents, and then gave Monty a look mixed with disbelief and bemusement. “How could you miss so many loopholes? How could you not address so many issues?
Why are you keeping these employees around just because they’re related to you? They’re practically sleeping on the job, causing trouble, and yet they still get a paycheck?
And your friend’s son? For someone like him, you’ve made him the project manager? What exactly can he do? No education, no discipline, just hanging out with a bunch of layabouts, eating and drinking on the company’s dime. How do you put up with it p>
Monty swallowed hard. “But he’s my buddy’s son. I can’t just turn my back on him p>
Calliope fixed Monty with a serious look. “You might as well hand the company over to him, then p>
Monty went silent; standing aside, he felt like a schoolboy being scolded by his teacher.
“These people need to go,” Calliope stated, casting a glance at Monty. “If you want the company to succeed you can’t keep these leeches

around You need to bring in some fresh talent. Employees should compete when necessary, and they should have good benefits. If they’re treated well, they’ll be motivated to contribute more to the company.” swnovel
“Okay,” Monty mumbled.
Calliope went on, “Also, these roles need to be reassessed. They aren’t fit to be directors or managers. They can do the work, sure, but they’re not at that level. Some of their
subordinates are more suitable for managerial roles.” swnovel
Calliope continued flipping through documents, not even lifting her head as she spoke. “The company needs a proper overhaul p>
Monty looked troubled. “But if we shake things up too much, a lot of people won’t be happy p>
Calliope gave him a long look.

“You’re the boss. Are you running this company to keep everyone happy? Isn’t the goal to make a profit? Those who want to stay and grow with the company are welcome. Those who don’t can leave. There are plenty of qualified people looking for jobs. Those who stay and work hard will have opportunities to advance. Those who can’t perform won’t do well anywhere.” swnovel
Monty nodded thoughtfully. “You’ve got a point p>
Calliope took a glance at Monty. “And why have these big clients stopped working with you? Didn’t you notice the problem?
You’ve neglected their needs just because they’re long-time clients. The quality has slipped, and you expect them to stick around? Because of your charm p>
