Chapter 412
‘You grew up with Sophia in the same house, yet you didn't see the signs. But, now that | think about it, Sophia's round face andbulbous nose are obviously inherited from Albert, aren't they? And Albert, that shameless man, not only cheated on your motherbut also had her help him raise his bastard child. He's not even worthy of being called a human!’
Felicity kept talking like a hindsight expert, feeling that many things had already foreshadowed Albert's despicable behavior. Aftershe finished speaking, she noticed that Stella was silent. So, she spoke softly, "Stella, you're not mad at me for cursing Albert,are you?’
Stella came back to her senses and calmly said, ‘I don't care." Albert no longer deserved to be called "father" by Stella for whathe had done.
"Felicity, do you know how the Vinci Rivera Group is doing now?" Stella asked.
‘They're being roasted on social media. Many reporters are waiting outside their office building for interviews. The Vinci RiveraGroup has been trending on social media for the past few days with many topics related to Sophia. So, when this scandal cameout, it definitely had an impact on the company's image. Sophia's social media page even disabled the comments. People can'tvent their anger there, so they went to the Vinci Rivera Group's business page to rant about it.”
Not only that, but several netizens claiming to be former employees of the Vinci Rivera Group also came forward withallegations. They said that there were shady dealings in the Vinci Rivera Group's hiring process and that their external jobpostings were just a cover for internal referrals. Even if a candidate was hired through external recruitment, they could still bereplaced by someone with connections to the company during their probation period. With so many hidden rules, they also saidthat the Vinci Rivera Group was no longer the fair and competitive environment it used to be.
Given Sophia's qualifications and experience, she would never have met the Vinci Rivera Group's standards. Yet, she managedto join the company and take on such an important position, all because the Jewell family and the Kane family were related bymarriage and the Vinci Rivera Group gave her special treatment.
Some even went so far as to bring up a lawsuit that the Vinci Rivera Group had with an intern last year to question thecompany's hiring standards. Clearly, the information was deliberately used to smear the Vinci Rivera Group during this wave ofattention.
While the Vinci Rivera Group did have some internal referrals, they were very rare. Even if that person was a shareholder, if theywere not capable enough, they only had the right to dividends and could not hold important positions in the Vinci Rivera Group.
Stella could not claim that all the employees of Vinci Rivera Group were external hires. At least, those recruited by Keegan hadbeen selected based on their skills and abilities.
Back in the spring and fall recruiting seasons, it was Keegan's busiest time. With so many people submitting their resumes,screening candidates was a very stressful task. In addition to the candidates’ education, their own professional abilities were alsovery important. Therefore, the hiring standards set by the Vinci Rivera Group were particularly high. Candidates had to gothrough four rounds of interviews.
Even if the candidates had passed all the interviews and entered the internship period, they still had to pass the internshipevaluation. If they failed, they could not be formally hired. However, this situation was very rare. After all, those who could safelymake it through those four rounds of interviews would not be too bad.
Stella knew the lawsuit that netizens had dug up very well. Because of this incident, the intern even splashed paint on Keegan'scar.
The intern who was dismissed from the Vinci Rivera Group was not let go due to a lack of professional abilities. It wasdiscovered that he had been arrested for soliciting sexual services, prompting the company to terminate his internship and settlehis salary before ultimately firing him. Despite this, the intern felt that his personal conduct was not related to his work andbelieved that the company had no grounds to expel him. As a result, he decided to sue the company.
Initially, Keegan had hoped to handle the situation discreetly. He understood that the reason for the intern's dismissal could harmthe intern's reputation. So, he kept it confidential, and only the company staff were aware of it. While Keegan disapproved ofsuch behavior, he did not want to completely destroy the intern's future.novelbin
However, the intern's demand for compensation and his attempts to use the incident to threaten the company angered Keegan.In response, Keegan decided to publicly disclose the reason for the intern's dismissal. This move resulted in the intern losing thelawsuit and earning a negative reputation within the industry. Regardless of his previous accomplishments, top companies likethe Vinci Rivera Group were unlikely to consider hiring him again.
The intern was furious about the outcome and retaliated by vandalizing Keegan's car with paint. This led to his arrest for violatingpublic security regulations.
Now, the netizens were using this case, which had been ruled on, to smear the Vinci Rivera Grouo.
