Chapter 1677 Salary Increment

Clayton simply sipped his coffee and watched the stock market, as if he was indifferent to what was
going on outside.

In just one hour, more than a dozen people came over to settle accounts with Jake.

Some went over to beg for forgiveness, to please Jake, or to withdraw their resignation letters. These
people were mostly those who had just joined the company and had not yet established a firm footing.

Others went over to bribe Jake and used all sorts of methods to make Jake turn a blind eye when the
accounts were checked.

Clayton shook his head and smiled. It was very entertaining.

Two hours later.

Jake refused to meet anyone. He was so tired that he could barely open his eyes.

He saw that Clayton was sitting there leisurely, bathing in the sun as if he was on vacation.

Then, he looked at his miserable self. For a moment, Jake could not accept their great disparity in
moods.

Jake walked over and sighed.

“Mr. Sloan, see this situation? That meeting yesterday threw the company into turmoil.”



The corner of Clayton‘s lips held a light smile. “It‘ll be even more chaotic down the road. Jake, you have
to be mentally prepared.”

Jake rubbed his face and looked extremely helpless.

“Alright, then I want a pay raise!”

If Jake had to deal with such an annoying mess without a salary increment, he would quit.

Clayton bowed his head and laughed. “Okay, I’ll triple your salary, but your deadline is compressed to
two years. After two years, I want to see a brand-new SF Corporation that’s profitable.”

The corner of Jake’s lips twitched, and he stiffened for a moment.

It was really a mix of temptation and risk. Jake casually mentioned it, and Clayton surprisingly offered
to triple Jake’s annual salary.



However, the deadline to get the company back on track in three to five years was shortened t

o two years.

This meant that Jake had to face a more complex dilemma and speed up the process.

After thinking for a few seconds, Jake nodded his head and agreed.

After all, Jake was confident that he could do it. It was just a matter of time.

It was also a personal challenge.



Once he was successful, he would be more than just the acting president down the road. His value
would go up.

This was a rare opportunity!

“Okay, then it’s a deal. Mr. Sloan, we have to tell Ms. Stanton about this, right?”

Clayton smiled. “I’ll talk to her.”

Jake let out a sigh of relief and was relieved.

He suddenly felt revitalized. The difficulties in front of him were no longer just problems, but three times
his annual salary.

Jake stood up. “I’ll immediately have someone post job openings to fill the vacant position. The
recruitment conditions will be even better than usual so that those who quit will know that the company
can still survive without them.”

Clayton looked at Jake approvingly.

“That’s a good plan, Jake. I can recommend a few people to you.”

Jake froze, Clayton handed over the stack of materials next to him to Jake.

“These are the people who were forced out by the senior management before. All of them are capable
and can very well replace those who want to resign.”

Clayton’s tone was light, and what he said seemed casual.

However, Jake felt slightly shaken in his heart.



This was the method Jake had finally thought of after the whole night, to replace the old staff with new
hires. If these new hires were those who had been sidelined before, he would not have to worry about
them betraying the company or getting bribed. It was also because of this reason that Jake had the
confidence to propose a salary increment. However, Jake did not expect that Clayton had already
thought of it and even found those people.

Everything seemed to be within Clayton’s grasp.

Clayton was truly terrifying.

Jake was dumbfounded. Clayton looked at him and smiled casually, but he was not at all

gentle.

“Jake, I‘ll have to trouble you for the follow–up. My flight is departing tomorrow. If anything happens
here, you can call me any time.”
