At the head office, no one dared to underestimate Robert now.

Even those senior executives were scared and respectful of Robert.

They were afraid of the young director's methods. He had no regard for any sentiment, and anyone who offended him would be dealt with immediately as he pleased. It didn't matter even if he was criticized for that as well.

However, they respected the way that Robert handled matters. When everyone thought Zabinski Group would be unable to survive for the past several times, he had the ability to turn the tide and made a fortune.

Upon noticing everyone's attention had gathered on him, Robert said, "Everyone, I'm taking this opportunity to make two more announcements. Firstly, our group will set up a new branch named Alacer Corporation. I will hold the position of general manager in the company. Secondly, two human resource department transfer orders will be issued. Ms. Ryder will serve as deputy general manager of Alacer Corporation, enjoying level 13 benefits from the company. Meanwhile, Grace Poole, the manager from the PR department will also be serving as the COO of Alacer Corporation, and she, too, will be receiving level 13 benefits from the company as well."

As soon as Robert finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the meeting room again.

Grace was pleasantly surprised. She knew that the director would have new plans and she would be involved in them. However, she didn't expect him to directly raise her benefits! And she was also to serve as the company's COO!

In terms of level, being a COO was also the same as being a PR department manager in the head office. But in terms of authority, a COO was really someone who called the shots and could enjoy level 13 benefits.

In Zabinski Group, there were 20 levels of benefits. Employees would receive different benefits according to their performance, positions, and length of service.

As such, level 13 benefits were equivalent to a branch deputy general manager.

Even the monthly base salary alone would reach 6,000 dollars!

Sophia's face was also flushing red with joy. She had been promoted from the director's assistant to vice president of the branch company!

Although Sophia knew that many assistants to the director would eventually be dispatched to another management post, she didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon.

As Sophia recalled trying to look for a job in the talent market for more than two months, this promotion news felt like a dream to Sophia.

The senior management of the company didn't say anything about Robert's decision.

Grace was an experienced staff in the company, and everyone was aware of her ability. It had been discussed when Grace would be promoted, but no matter how far a manager of the PR department was promoted, they could not directly become a deputy general manager, since the roles were different. Nevertheless, the COO position was akin to having a gold-plated stepping stone.

As for Sophia, although there were people who were dissatisfied with her seniority, she had a car accident investigating falsified medicines, having rumors spread online, and even went to the mountainous district with Robert. Everyone knew that Sophia was the director's trusted aide.

Furthermore, what happened previously also. proved Sophia's ability. Although it was hard to directly promote her to vice manager, she could still accept this position for a while.

After they finished applauding, the meeting was over. Sophia and Grace were surrounded by people who came to congratulate them. It took them over half an hour to leave the room.

Later, Sophia knocked on the door of Robert's office and pushed it open.

"Ms. Ryder, welcome!" Robert said jokingly as helaughed loudly.

Sophia blushed at Robert's formal address to her. Seeing that the coffee cup on Robert's desk was empty, she took the initiative to refill his cup."Mr. Zabinski, you seem to be in a hurry to drive me away."

"Hahaha!" Robert picked up his coffee cup andsaid, "It will be difficult to drink the coffee prepared by you in the future, Ms. Ryder."
