CHAPTER 777 GOOD-BYE FOR GOOD

Chapter 777 Good-bye for Good

Miguel stared at Hannah and her fake smile, while Hannah was helping him with the tie. She did that to

make herself look calm and natural.

"Hannah, I'm good. Don't worry." Miguel stroke her head and said.

Hannah nodded and said nothing.

The secretary knocked at the door politely and said respectfully, "Mr Cooper. Miss Cooper. The meeting

will start soon."

"OK." Said Miguel heavily, "Come on. Let's bring an end to our business career."

"Uh-huh."

Hannah and Miguel went to the biggest meeting room in the building, which was big enough to hold

over a thousand men. It was all quiet. Everyone was waiting for them in silence. For such a long time,

rumours and gossip had spread over the corporation, but they were unproven. Most of the employees

wondered and doubted but dared not start rumours and gossip casually. Because of some hearsay,

they were curious about this all-staff meeting.

Miguel went to the platform of the meeting room, while Hannah stood not far away from him. She was

wearing loose clothes to cover her baby bump and also had makeup. However, she still had a vibe of a

pregnant woman.

The staff present was looking at Miguel, and all staff from the branch offices were staring at the screens

in the video meeting rooms. It was rare that Cooper Group held such a big meeting. Each of them took

it seriously, in case they missed anything. Miguel looked at them and fell into a long silence, while the

staff were waiting for him quietly and patiently.

A long while later, Miguel started, "My apologies. I called on the meeting and you have to leave the

work behind. As you know, Cooper Group has never advocated endless and unnecessary paperwork

and meetings. Instead, we want our staff to spend more time and energy on work and production. I've

got a lot to tell today, and I want to tell you personally."

It had made a stir. His opening remarks sounded a little sensational and serious.

"I believe you've heard Cooper Group was purchased. Hereby, I officially announce that Cooper Group

has been purchased by the CL Group. From now on, Cooper Group will no longer be charged by

Cooper, me or my daughter, Hannah Cooper."

Everyone was stunned to hear that. Most of the employees took it as a rumour. Given Miguel and

Hannah's identities and capacities, they thought no one could purchase Cooper Group so easily.

However, they had to believe it when Miguel finally spoke it out of his mouth. The meeting room was

becoming a mess. So were the video meeting rooms in the branch offices.

Miguel almost couldn't help it when looking at those frustrated and panicked faces of the staff, who had

worked for him for years. He tried hard to calm himself and continued, "We, the Cooper family, will

leave the company, but it will have no impact on most of you."

Everyone heard it and looked at him quietly again. Hannah also fixed her eyes on her father. At that

moment, she felt her father was old. His hair went grey. Normally, a man about his age should retire

and live his old age happily. Unfortunately, he lost his career in the rat race, which would be his biggest

regret for the rest of his life.

"We've been working with the Personnel Department to get you the best benefits that we could. For the

time being, nothing will be changed for the employees below the position of director, which means youProperty © .

can keep your jobs. Besides, we've negotiated with the new company and won a pay raise of 5% for

you all. It will take effect from this month!"

The crowd heated up again. It was unbelievable that they would get a pay raise as soon as they

worked for the new boss, and they heard the news from their old boss.

"Please be quiet and hear me out." Said, Miguel. He had been running the company for a long and

could manage to remain majestic no matter how sad he was.

People quieted down in the meeting room.

"You'll get a pay raise and have renewed your contacts with the company for another five years. But it's

your choice. You can leave unconditionally if you've got a better job. Otherwise, the new boss can't fire

you unless you make big mistakes."

He was doing his best to ensure their benefits and welfare. They would have plenty of time to settle

down in the new company in the coming five years. By then, it was unlikely to have mass lay-offs,

which was also considered a waste of resources.

"As for the senior managers of each department, I've talked to you in private. We'll just skip it at the

meeting."

He had talked to them several days earlier, and they had accepted his arrangements. Even those who

would leave the Cooper Group had appreciated Miguel's help. Hannah had tried her best to cover

every aspect and consider everyone. It was the only thing she could do for her father. She hoped

Miguel would retire after winning merits, and that people would still show him respect and bear awe for

him when they talked about him years later. It was great that he left a good name forever when he was

no longer a man of the hour.

People applauded warmly, showing their gratitude for Miguel.

"Wish you all a bright future." Said Miguel powerfully and sentimentally, "Goodbye for good."

Miguel bowed to the staff.

Some sentimental female staff were in tears. Hannah also felt like crying. She could tell from his bow

that it was killing him to say goodbye to the Cooper Group, and he wasn't reconciled to it. She blinked

her eyes in case she shed tears.

The meeting was successful. It came to an end in thunderous applause. Hannah and Miguel stepped

down the platform. From then on, they would leave the Cooper Group for good, and it would no longer

belong to the Cooper family.

Hannah held Miguel's arm and left the meeting room. People present stood up to watch them leave.

Manuel was waiting for them outside. He had watched the whole process in the corner, which had

broken his heart. But this was life. Sometimes, things didn't go the way we wished, and we didn't have

a choice but to give in to reality.
