Some of those former trusted aides had been directly incited by Xia Wanyuan to defect, and some had been directly removed by Xia Wanyuan because they refused to cooperate.
Those people self-proclaimed to be veterans, but Xia Wanyuan did not care how good their relationship with Father Xia was. As long as there was someone with ill intentions, Xia Wanyuan would directly replace them.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan did not fall for their tricks, these people, who had relied on their experience and benefits for many years in the company, softened their attitude to reason with Xia Wanyuan and talk about feelings.
However, Xia Wanyuan was not a person who was easy to talk to. She was direct and firm. "Leave immediately."
Only then did these elders find Father Xia, but Father Xia could not control Xia Wanyuan anymore. These people regretted it, but it was too late.
