CHAPTER 690

Chapter 690 Devon cursed inwardly. Published already? What was this Nathan Leftwich doing?! Was he trying to embarrass him in front of Mr. Yarde? He could not even do something so simple properly!

“Got it. delete the articles from the back end first. I‘ll go back now to take care of it.”

Devon suppressed his rage, hung up, and looked at Kayson awkwardly.

“Mr. Yarde, sorry, 1–»

“It‘s fine.”

Kayson knew that Devon could not be blamed for this. He then looked at them. “Let‘s go? We can visit the company, right?”

Cayden was immensely worried, so there was no way he would refuse.

The group then hurried to Marl. Entertainment Co. The closer they got to the company, the angrier Devon grew. Kayson did not blame him but he was still furious.

The moment he had taken over the company, he had held an executive meeting and met everyone. He understood that it was impossible to get everyone to submit as soon as he took over, but there was no need to challenge his

authority as general manager over something so small as stopping the publication of the posts, yet this was exactly what the operations department had done. Material © .

Upstairs , where the office of the operations department was, the operations manager, Tristan Saber, looked nonchalant. “Mr. Leftwich , you‘ve crossed your scope of authority. Isn‘t it too much for an editor like you to poke his nose into the operations department?”

Nathan glowered . “Mr. Saber, holding the articles back was an order from Mr. Harrington. How dare you defy his instructions?

“I‘d like to see you explain this to him when he comes back later!”

Tristan was indifferent. “It‘s not a big deal. Stop pressuring me about Mr. Harrington. To be honest, he was just promoted!

“Not everyone in the company knows him, yet he thinks he‘s all that?

“Besides, asking my subordinates to publish the posts was reasonable. Do you know how much we can make by doing so?”

Tristan mocked him. “The operations department is one of the most important departments of the company. You content creators can‘t compare to it!”

There were two important departments in Marl Entertainment Co–one of them was operations and the other was traffic monetization.

As for the editing department, its status had never been very high, and those in the operations department had never really cared for them.

Juneau had focused on operations and traffic monetization too and had complimented both department heads in meetings multiple times. Those who were in these departments had received numerous bonuses as well. Although the editors received bonuses, they were not comparable.

That was why Tristan was used to being arrogant, more so when Juneau was around.

Nathan scowled. “Tristan Saber, aren‘t you scared that Mr. Harrington will fire you for challenging him?”

“Hahah!” Tristan asked confidently, “Fire me? Would he dare to? I‘ll make him compensate me if he does!

“Force me to a corner and I‘ll leave with everyone in the operations department. When we start anew elsewhere, let‘s see how he‘ll run the new operations team!”

Nathan was surprised, as he had not expected the man to make such a bold claim. Despite that, the man‘s words made sense. Even if Devon came back, he might not dare fire him.

Once the operations department was empty, it would not be difficult to recruit a new team within a short period of time, but it would be a challenge for them to familiarize themselves with the various characteristics and specialties of the big accounts so soon.

“Tristan Saber, I didn‘t expect you to be so pompous! Looks like you refuse to bow down to me then?” A group of people came in then, the group being Kayson and company. Tristan arched his brow before he backed down a little and replied coolly, “It‘s nothing like that, Mr. Harrington.” When the operations team saw that Devon was there, they got up slowly without sounding too respectful or reverent. After a lethargic drawl of a greeting, they stood there as though they were waiting for drama to unfold.

It was the chief editor, Nathan, who greeted Devon politely in good spirits. Devon was even more infuriated upon seeing Tristan disregard him so much, as his behavior embarrassed him. “Take down all the articles regarding Omnicare Drugstore and Cayden Lane from the back end right this instant! Now!”

Devon’s eyes scanned the operations employees, who looked lackadaisical and unbothered by him. His gaze was

sharp, and his tone took on a frosty tinge. Tristan spoke first. “Mr. Harrington, this isn‘t playing by the rules! We accepted the payment and we‘d be going against the contract if we didn‘t publish it.”

“This isn‘t your place to speak.”

Devon looked at him coldly. “Tristan Saber, you‘re fired!”

Tristan paused before asking in disbelief, “Fired? Devon Harrington, is this for real?”

“Do I have to repeat myself? See yourself out and go to HR!”

Tristan scowled. “Harrington , you‘d better think twice about this!”

Devon smirked and looked at the operations employees, who were wincing. “You‘re not deleting the posts? Do all of you want to leave with Tristan? Is that it? Sure, I‘ll grant your wish!”

He then looked at Nathan, who was alarmed. “Mr. Leftwich , have your people take their place for the time being and remove all the relevant articles.”

“How dare you!”

Tristan, who was enraged, snarled, “Harrington , if you dare remove these articles, I‘ll make sure you wake up in the hospital tomorrow!”

Devon was even more furious. “Security! Kick this

outsider out!”

The security guards listened to Devon, no doubt, so they went over and hauled Tristan out of the office.

“B*stard! Devon Harrington! How dare you! You f*cker! I‘ll make sure you pay for this!”

Tristan shouted, and it was when the operations employees saw that their leader was really being kicked out that they panicked.

Devon was doing this for real? Nathan took sufficient manpower from his department and sat down to delete the required articles.

As Devon scanned the anxious workers, he said flatly, “ All of you can go ahead with the resignation procedure.”

The employees were taken aback.

Nathan was shocked and quickly said, “Mr. Harrington, the operations department can‘t be empty. Can‘t this be postponed?”

Devon chuckled icily. “Postponed how? Why should these people who don‘t even know who calls the shots in the company be kept around? So I can get into more trouble?”

He then pulled out his phone and asked, “Brock, are you guys here? Soon? Come up to the operations department at once.”

After hanging up, Devon turned to Kayson and told him

formally, “Mr. Yarde, I‘ll definitely take care of this. I won‘t disappoint you.”

Kayson nodded. “It‘s alright, do your thing.”

A while later, a team of people who seemed brilliantly capable walked in, easing the tension on Devon‘s face.
