Chapter 1642 Breaking the Ice

The office of the Engineering Technology Department was a bit messy, with computers on as everyone worked on their tasks, but upon closer inspection, many were playing games or trading stocks.

When Peter Brown entered the office, the younger staff members quickly stood up, but the three older ones just nodded at him as a greeting while remaining seated.

Sitting down, Peter Brown smiled and said, "Is everyone here?"

Fahad Thompson replied, "Almost everyone is here."

"Well, today we're holding a small meeting. Since I became deputy manager in charge of the Engineering Technology Department, this is the first time I've called such a meeting. I just want to get to know everyone."

Everyone kept their heads down, busy with their work, as if what Peter Brown had said had little to do with them.

Seeing this, Peter Brown understood that people here didn't really think highly of him, and probably doubted his abilities as well.
