It was as if a murderous devil suddenly became kind and friendly.

When the people in the meeting room saw Julien like this, they looked at each other for a few moments and then sighed with relief at the same time.

That was natural.

When Julien found out someone had made a mistake and almost caused a loss of a billion dollars, he was furious and cursed that person and the other people who had nothing to do with it. Everyone in the room panicked. The atmosphere was tense.

Just when they thought Julien would not let them go, Julien's cell phone buzzed, and then they saw Julien pick up the phone. His cold and sullen face instantly turned gentle.

There was only one person who could make Julien like this. It must be Sydney, Julien's ex-wife and girlfriend.

At this moment, they were grateful to Sydney for sending the message and rescuing them.

Otherwise, they might have continued to suffer.

Everyone was thanking Sydney in their hearts.

Julien didn't bother to look at the people below. He leaned back in his chair and texted rapidly: "That's great. I was afraid you wouldn't like it."

Sydney smiled and replied: "How could I not like it? I enjoy it very much. How about you? You left so early. Did you have breakfast?"

Julien nodded slightly. "Yes."

Sydney took a bite of the pastry. "Good. Are you busy?"

Julien raised his eyes and icily glanced at all the people present. The staff members who had relaxed were flustered again.

They thought, 'Is Mr. Flint going to criticize us again?

'Could it be that Sydney could not appease Julien?'

Just when everyone was nervous, Julien withdrew his gaze, lowered his head again, and texted: "I'm in a meeting. These executives gave me a headache."

They were privileged and had become lazy about their work, not even noticing such a big loophole.

If he had not asked today, the company would have lost a billion dollars.

So Julien was very annoyed.

Sydney couldn't see Julien's expression at the moment, but she could vaguely sense that he was in a bad mood.

She sent a head-touching emoji and a comforting message: "Don't be angry. There are some troublemakers in any group, but if the person does not have the intention of betraying the group and has just carelessly made a mistake that has not caused any losses yet, just give him a small punishment. Don't take it too seriously, or you will only be angry. That can easily get you sick, so don't be mad.

Looking at that cute emoji and Sydney's words of comfort, Julien's heart melted, and he felt a warm current through his heart. His face overflowed with tenderness.

His thin lips curved into a slight smile as he replied: "OK. I'll listen to you. I'm not angry now."

Sydney put down the milk glass. "That's more like it. Then go ahead with your meeting. I will not bother you anymore. I need to eat breakfast quickly. Later, I have to go to the court."

Julien raised his chin slightly. "Okay, take care on the road, and let's have dinner together tonight."

'Have dinner together?'

Sydney raised her eyebrows. "You don't have to work late tonight?"

Julien remembered that she had said last night that a man in his thirties was no more energetic than in his twenties. He pursed his thin lips, and his eyes flashed. "I'll be back as soon as I can." Sydney did not think much about it. She put down the spoon in her hand and texted: "OK, then I'll wait for you."

In fact, she also hoped that he would come back early.

Of course, that was not because she wanted him to accompany her.

She didn't want him to stay up late for work. It was not good for his health.

Her reply made Julien's smile brighter. "I won't let you down."

Tonight, he would let her know how strong he was.

He was not worse than men in their twenties.

Maybe those men in their twenties were not as fit as he was.

Julien thought with displeasure.

Sydney was puzzled by his message.

She didn't know why he had said that he wouldn't let her down after she told him she would wait for him.

But Sydney didn't think much about it. She put her phone down after sending him a smiling emoji.

Julien looked at the emoji and guessed that she didn't want him to reply and wanted him to work seriously, so he let out a low laugh and saved all the emojis she had sent to him. He then put down the phone, stopped smiling, and looked at the people below with a cold face, "I'll cut the bonus and perks of the one who made the mistake with the proposal. And he has to write a 5,000-word review. Any problems?" He fixed his gaze on a department manager's face.

The manager stood up, forced a smile, and shook his head repeatedly. "No. I accept your punishment, Mr. Flint."

If he didn't accept it, he would be fired.

He was not a shareholder. He was just an executive that could be dismissed at any time.

It had taken him more than ten years to become a department manager with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars at the Flint Corporation's headquarters, so naturally, he didn't want to be thrown out. But this time, it was really his fault. He had been afraid that he would be fired by Julien, and he had even thought that he would be fired for sure. After all, a senior executive who had made a mistake not as big as his was kicked out of the Flint Corporation by Julien without mercy. Julien was a very strict man.

However, when the manager was ready to replace another job, Julien only cut his bonus and perks and asked him to write a review.

Although it was humiliating to write a review, it was nothing compared to a job with an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars.

Of course, the manager knew that Julien kept him and gave him this opportunity, not because Julien's heart was softer than before, but because Sydney had made Julien feel better.

Without Sydney, judging from the emotionless way Julien looked at him before, the manager would definitely have been fired.

Thinking of this, the manager sat down, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and decided to have someone buy Sydney a gift later to thank her.

He had to return the favor.

Julien no longer looked at the manager. The moment the manager sat down, Julien turned his gaze to the others. "As for you guys, ponder your mistakes and check your proposals after the meeting. If there is any error, correct it early. If I replace out that you have not done so later, you'll be fired!'

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd nodded their heads vigorously in response, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

They knew that with Julien's temper, he would never let them off so easily and just let them examine themselves.

Julien liked to punish all the people at the same time. If one person made a mistake, all the executives would have to suffer the same punishment, so the executives were watching each other. Once someone made a mistake, they would remind him so as not to be implicated.

Although Julien's habit made them suffer, they had to admit that Julien made them not dare to slack off.

But because no one had made mistakes for a long time, they inevitably relaxed their surveillance on each other.

Who knew that something would happen soon after that?

Thinking of this, these executives glared at the manager.
