StarNovelChapter 162 They were more than just old-timers. However, Collosus Group's current structure dictated their composition. Even if Charles had great abilities, he could not completely change Collosus Group.
The old-timers at the company usually did not do much work, and Charles thought it would be great if they just backed off. However, would they give up that easily? Charles had just handled a problem with Robert, taking over his and his buddies' company shares for himself. That was what really ticked off the old-timers.

Now that Robert was out, his department was up for grabs, and everyone wanted to put their own people in charge to get a piece of the pie.
Ronald asked, looking over spapers, "Mr. Hoffman, what's our next move? The old-timers won't give up. They'll try again!" "We'll see," Charles said with a half-smile, not really worried about them.

Charles stared at Noelle's number, saved as 'Nelly', and tried to call back, but her line was busy.
He smirked, shook his head, and put his phone away.
