Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1585 The King Of S City (Part Two)

"I will take that as a yes," Rain said with a smile. He knew what he was going to face without a

moment's thought.

Lawrence frowned, but he didn't say anything. He just led him to the elevator. 'Rain looks smarter and

more capable than his two brothers, ' Lawrence thought to himself in silence.

The short trip was quiet. Lawrence bowed to him respectfully and left when they reached the

designated floor. Rain walked to the doors of the conference room and when he entered, everyone's

heads turned to look at him with resentful gazes. He felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Hello, everyone. You didn't expect us to meet so soon, did you?" Rain addressed everyone happily.

He smirked mischievously and at the back of his mind he thought, 'Just wait, you bastards. I will treat

you "well."'

"No one wants to see you, you little bastard. You don't deserve to sit here!" Sheena sneered at Rain

and glared at him. She was furious because when she looked at Rain, she remembered how her

husband betrayed her.

"Mrs. Ke, you just called me a bastard in front of Mr. Ke. Aren't you afraid he'll get mad?" Rain said

ironically as he scanned the people present in the room. He knew all of them except two women.

"Don't try to ruin my relationship with Sanford. Even if you can get into KD Group, you can't go back to

our house. As long as I'm alive, you can't get what you want." Sheena hissed at him like he was an

annoying little shrew. A cunning woman like her would still be pissed off at Rain.

"Don't worry, I never wanted anything to do with your family. Your house is too dirty for a noble man like

me." He had only agreed to help Sanford run the company, but he had no intentions of returning to their

home at all.

"Since you despise us so much, then why did you come to KD Group? If I were you, I won't ask for

trouble," Vance said haughtily. He thought he was handsome, but when he stood in front of Rain it was

as if he was overshadowed by his brother's presence.

"You should ask Mr. Ke that question. You should ask him why he wants me to run your company. Is it

because you are all too incompetent to do the job?" When it came to arguments, no one faced off with

Rain except Edward. That man was a sophist after all.

"Don't be so arrogant. Do you really think you can save KD Group?" Cyrus said as he scowled at Rain

and thought, 'Damn it! Didn't he say he wasn't coming to KD Group? Why is he here today? Is the

threat I made to him that day useless?'

"We'll see," Rain said proudly. He believed that he could prove himself worthy of the position with his

skills and abilities.

"Stop! That's enough! There will be a board meeting later. Rain, I hope you can use your abilities to

convince people by then." Sanford bellowed to silence their argument. He frowned and thought, 'It

looks like they're not going to get along.'

Rain turned to Sanford and said, "You know how great I am, and that's why you chose me. By the way,

I'd like to rearrange the employee structure of the company," He said as he glanced coldly at the

people in the conference room. He knew that if he wanted to get KD Group back on track as quickly as

possible, he would have to get rid of some people. He therefore hoped that he would have the

autonomy in this aspect.

"Don't be so greedy!" Someone contested him. Upon hearing Rain's words, they all felt that he would

take this opportunity to retaliate against them and they all inwardly shuddered with panic.

"That's all I ask. As for the answer, it is up to you," Rain said in a calm manner as he thought, 'I can do

what I want. Sanford now believes in me, not you lot. What can you do about me?'

"Okay, I am fine with that, but you have to make a reasonable adjustment," Sanford said to

compromise with Rain after a moment of hesitation. He knew that Rain got to the bottom of the

company's problems, and that was why he made the request. Others however, might not support

Sanford's decision.

"Dad..." Everyone looked at Sanford in shock. They did not expect him to agree to Rain's request.

He said to everyone present, "I know what you're thinking. I don't think Rain will fire you if you do your Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

job well." Sanford stopped there as he didn't want to talk about it anymore. Besides, he wouldn't

change his mind no matter what.

As vice president of FX International Group, Rain was admired for his business acumen and marketing

talent. He had a natural knack for the things he did at his job. In the board meeting regarding his

position at KD Group, he won the support of all the people with his brand new ideas and sagacious

mind. It could be said that no matter how lazy he might seem during ordinary days, he could make a

difference when it came to the crunch.

His popularity among the board members made others resentful. Rain certainly knew what he was

going to face, so he was ready for the difficulties that came with the job. All of this he did for his mother.

After the rather eventful meeting wrapped up, Rain did not immediately order the implementation of the

reform measures. Instead, he left KD Group in a hurry. He had more important things to do. The people

one by one filed out of the conference room.

"Brother, wait for me." As soon as Rain stepped out of the door, he was stopped by a young woman in

his tracks.

"Oh! It's you. What's the matter?" Rain turned to her and asked. Although she was about the same age

as Leena, he couldn't find himself to be gentle towards her.

"So, you are my brother. You are so handsome. Can I come to accompany you at the company later?"

Tiana asked as she looked up at him adoringly, completely forgetting that she previously rejected him

as family awhile ago in the meeting.

"I'm sorry, I'm not your brother. And don't call me that. You don't deserve to call me that," Rain said in a

dry, derisive tone.

"Why?" Tiana asked as she looked at him innocently. It was normal for her age to be interested in

good-looking males, especially one like Rain.

"I told you. You're not my sister! Now is there anything else you want? If it's alright, I'll go." Rain then

turned on his heel and walked away, not caring if his words would hurt Tiana or not. He simply had no

pity or care for Sheena's children.

Tiana stomped her foot in mild irritation but tried to catch up with Rain. In her mind, he was like a

famous movie star. She didn't want to miss the chance to take a picture with him. If she got to take a

picture with him, she could show off in front of her classmates.

"Wait for me!" Tiana hollered. If Leena had called him, he would have stopped walking to wait for her at

once; but it was Tiana who did, so he hastened his pace to get in the car.

Tiana honestly did not expect Rain to do that to her, so there was nothing she could do but watch him

drive away. She felt annoyed at this but she didn't give up the idea of taking a picture with him.

Rain glanced at the receding figure of Tiana through the rear view mirror. He smiled coldly and thought,

'Tiana, though you didn't actually hurt me, you are still Sheena's daughter. You deserved that.'

The car soon turned to a building complex and stopped at the parking space. Rain got out of the car to

go inside and made a beeline for the executive lounge. Being back at FX International Group made

Rain feel relaxed. The silence and people at KD Group smothered him.

"So, how's it going?" A man in a charcoal gray suit sauntered to him. For the first time, Edward offered

him a drink and sat down beside him.

"Everything is fine," Rain said confidently. He knew that this was only the beginning, and he had a lot of

things on his plate to face next.

"That's great! You're so awesome! Let's toast to your victory!" Edward said approvingly as he raised his

glass of cogniac and made a celebratory toast to him. What they really wanted was not Sanford's

property or assets, it was the feeling of superiority that would come from defeating them. They wanted

all those who ever looked down at him to know that he was the king of S City.
