My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 779

All at once, everyone was bewildered. This would involve a number of people! Were they all really going to be laid off?

Then, Sophia continued, “Our product sales aren’t doing well lately and the marketing department is responsible for many matters. Since that manager has access to the customer information, he is also a suspect. Lay him off and lay the other few people off as well; the company will compensate for the breach of contract.”

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned. Wasn’t it a little too harsh to lay off so many people at once? However, since Sophia said so, she must have had her reasons.

Then, Sophia and the rest went to the store and as usual, she wore a face mask and watched as Sarah gathered all the employees and announced the names on the layoff list. Those who were laid off were customer service agents, cashiers, and the manager of the marketing department. Even Ivan’s assistant was laid off!

After a long day at work, Sophia returned home. Meanwhile, Cooper was already aware about what had happened today. As soon as she arrived home, he came over and asked with great concern, “Darling, do you need my help with the business?”

As a matter of fact, Sophia was reluctant to accept Cooper’s help. If she could not handle this matter, she would be embarrassed to say that she was Cooper Mitchell’s daughter. Despite that, she suddenly thought of something and laughed. “Yes, Dad. I could use some recommendations for marketing talents. I just laid off the manager of the marketing department so I need to hire someone.”

Upon hearing this, Cooper nodded. He had always paid attention to his daughter’s career so he gave his suggestion. “I have a few in mind. However, if you would like to expand your dog collar store beyond Cethos, I have a few suitable international talents that I can recommend.”

Dog collar store? Um… It turned out that to Cooper, Sophia’s pet business was just a store that sold dog collars. That being said, even if it was a store selling dog collars, it was still his daughter’s business. Nevertheless, he was very attentive and he immediately recommended a few talents to Sophia and had them flown over straightaway for her to choose.

When Sophia arrived home, she saw Cooper had stolen the roses from her room and was picking them one after another to feed the puppies…

Judge’s puppies now belonged to Sophia, and they looked like carbon copies of Judge. They were chubby, tiny and looked like potatoes. In fact, Sophia had not given them names yet. Cooper named them Rover and Doug; Sophia named them Fortune and Richie. Carmen named them Tater and Tots, while Linus named them Windy and Moony.

Meanwhile, the bouquet of flowers sent by Michael last night were completely destroyed and the flowers were eaten by the puppies as if they were snacks. Earlier, Sophia was complaining that she rarely received flowers but now…

On another note, the talents recommended by Cooper were from overseas. In fact, the pets’ luxury goods industry was almost always developed abroad and it was rare to find one locally. However, while the talents were still on their way, many staff had resigned one after another. With the loss of staff, the entire company was on edge; it seemed like Pourl was not going to make it.

Sophia had seen Pourl’s financial statements and business operations, which had been deteriorating in the past two years. Especially when Plum Technology was first launched, everyone had no time to manage the business. Moreover, Ivan’s capabilities had its limits too. Frankly, many of their staff needed to survive so when the performance was declining, they thought it would be best to leave.

When Sophia returned, she resumed her career, starting with the dog collar store. As soon as she was back, she made a series of big moves, laying off staff and hiring new people. To the staff, she had been ‘dead’ for three or four years. Most of the staff at the store were new, while the long-time staff did not believe she was still alive. Sophia was wearing a mask when she came to the store and everyone thought the boss had hired a new manager named Lucile. Nobody knew she was actually Sophia, who had been ‘dead’ for three years.
