CHAPTER 304: CHAPTER 304: GOING ABROAD

She couldn’t help but say, "Be sure to stay safe when you’re out there, it’s not like being at home, it’s not your territory, you need to be extra cautious."

A silence fell on Damian Knight’s end, and after two seconds, he asked her, "Are you worried about me?"

Summer Monroe’s expression froze, and she replied against her true feelings, "I’m worried about myself. If something happens to you, who am I going to ask for help with all my chaotic issues?"

"Oh." Damian Knight’s voice was muffled as he said, "Don’t worry, my mom had my fortune told, I’ll live to be a hundred, I’m not going to die! Okay, it’s about time, I’m going to my meeting now, I’ll be heading out right after, I’ll talk to you before I take off."

"Alright." Summer Monroe twisted the ring on her finger, took a deep breath, and said, "The ring is beautiful, I really like it, thank you!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly cut off the call, as if avoiding something.

On the other end of the phone, Damian Knight’s expression shifted from gloomy to joyful.

A trace of a smile curved his mouth, and he looked down and chuckled softly.

Deep down, she’s still a shy little girl...

Just then, a senior executive who came to call Damian Knight for the meeting pushed open the door and entered.

He immediately spotted Damian Knight’s smiling face and was utterly stunned, his eyes widening.

My goodness, what did he just see?

Mr. Knight, who always had a poker face, actually smiled?!

The executive quickly rubbed his eyes to confirm if he was seeing things, but when he looked up again, all he saw was Damian Knight looking at him coldly, expressionless.

The executive’s heart skipped a beat, realizing he must have been mistaken.

He hurriedly spoke, "Ch-chairman... it’s time for the meeting."

"Got it!" Damian Knight replied without much expression, then rose and brushed past the executive’s shoulder.

The executive let out a sigh of relief and followed him to the conference room.

The circular conference table was already filled with people, and Damian Knight pulled out his seat and sat down.

Someone immediately stood up to report, "Chairman, we’ve just received news that several key staff members at the branch in Europe have submitted their resignation letters again. This is already the third time this month that a large number of technical staff have resigned..."

The branch in Europe primarily deals with high-tech products; management can be replaced anytime, but losing technical talent makes it genuinely difficult to find substitutes in a short time.

There’s no need to guess, it’s definitely that guy lurking in the shadows trying to poach his staff.

The guy can’t poach domestic employees, so he’s reaching out to the overseas branches.

Really going all out to stir up trouble for him.

Damian Knight nodded, acknowledging he was aware, then another senior executive stood up to report.

Similar situations, with technical staff resigning or foreign partner companies suddenly wanting to cancel cooperation.

Damian Knight quietly listened to the reports before speaking, "I understand the situation. Do not process the resignation requests; hold them off for now. I’ll be heading to Europe soon to personally talk with them."

The meeting concluded.

Damian Knight immediately got into the car heading to the airport.

On the way, he made a phone call to Isaac Ross, asking, "How’s the investigation going on your end?"

Isaac Ross responded, "Most of the useless stuff left at their hideout traces back to being made in Europe. We followed this lead to Europe and just arrived today. We were about to update you when you called."

"What a coincidence," Damian Knight said, looking at the scenery retreating outside the car window. "I’m on my way to Europe right now, heading to the airport."
