Chapter 1064: Personnel Appointment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lucas and Cheyenne talked to Amelia for a long time. Seeing that it was getting late, they quickly urged her to go to bed.
After Amelia went to sleep, Charlotte appeared on the phone screen and talked to Lucas and Cheyenne.
“Cheyenne, Lucas, you two can stay in DC and handle your business with peace of mind. Leave Amelia and Dad to me. Don’t worry.
“Oh, by the way, the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch is currently developing rapidly. Due to your identity, Lucas, companies of all sizes in California and Oregon have sent us invitations to cooperate. The marketing department is busy every day.
“I think if the situation goes on, the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch may develop into an independent major enterprise on its own, and it can be separated from the Stardust Corporation,” Charlotte said with satisfaction.
!!
Lucas laughed. “It seems that you’ve managed the company very well. I thought that you’d be too stressed or overwhelmed after I handed over all responsibility in Orange County to you, but it seems like you’re handling it well.”
Charlotte said proudly, “That’s not true! Now that everything in the Stardust Corporation’s Orange branch is on track, I’m not that busy. I even feel that I have too much free time on my hands, and there’s no longer a sense of accomplishment!”
She was just joking, but to her surprise, Lucas said, “That’s great! I happen to be shorthanded and need people to help me at the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC. Come over to help me. There’s much more room for development here than in Orange County. It’ll be more than enough for you to put your skills to full play!”
Charlotte was stunned and quickly said, “Lucas, are you serious? I was just joking. Do you really want me to join the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC?”
Lucas smiled. “Of course I’m serious. You and William should come here to help me. Quickly find a trusted successor to hand over your duties in Orange County.”
Only then did Charlotte know that Lucas was really not joking. He truly wanted her and William to help him manage the Stardust Corporation in DC.
“Alright then. As long as you’re not afraid that we might cause trouble for you, I’ll hand over my duties over the next few days and then meet you guys in DC!” Charlotte was not a wishy-washy person and agreed immediately.
“I’m glad you two are coming.” Lucas smiled and let Cheyenne and Charlotte continue chatting.
He walked to the side and called Flynn on the phone. “Arrange for three executive positions in the company in the next few days.”
“Yes, Lucas.” Flynn agreed immediately and then reported a piece of news. “Lucas, as far as I know, Alexander Steele has sent someone to investigate you.”
Lucas frowned. No one liked being investigated, though Lucas was certain that Alexander wouldn’t be able to find out anything about him.
“Let him be,” Lucas said nonchalantly and hung up.
...
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, Cheyenne left home early as usual and proceeded to handle business cooperation matters.
Although Lucas had invited her to join the Stardust Corporation headquarters yesterday, she had founded and developed the Brilliance Corporation after all, so she couldn’t just leave it behind.
Even if she joined the Stardust Corporation later, she wouldn’t abandon the Brilliance Corporation’s affairs.
It was extremely common for one person to manage multiple companies in the business circle.
Meanwhile, Lucas headed to the Stardust Corporation.
In Flynn’s general manager’s office, he handed the appointment proposals he had prepared overnight to Lucas. “Lucas, please see if these arrangements are appropriate. If you don’t have any objections, I’ll issue them.”
Lucas took a look at it, but he soon frowned. “Did I say I would demote you?”
Flynn stated in the appointment proposal that Cheyenne would be the general manager of the Stardust Corporation while Flynn would be demoted to deputy general manager.
Flynn explained, “I... I heard you say that Ms. Carter was joining the company, so—”
“I asked you to draw up three executive positions, but I don’t intend to remove you from your position as general manager!” Lucas interrupted.
“As I’ve told you before, as long as you’ve chosen to come to the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC, you’ll always be the general manager I approve of. You earned this position with your loyalty.
“So you are and will always be the general manager of the Stardust Corporation!”
Flynn felt extremely touched, and his eyes couldn’t help but redden.
When he received Lucas’s instructions for him to arrange three executive positions for Cheyenne, Charlotte, and William—Lucas’s wife, sister-in-law, and father-in-law—he actually felt a little disappointed, thinking that Lucas was going to demote him so that he could make his wife the general manager.
After all, he was just a subordinate of Lucas, while Cheyenne was Lucas’s wife. He thought that Lucas definitely wouldn’t allow Cheyenne to be his subordinate.
So after contemplating for a long time last night, Flynn finally made these arrangements, which included a demotion for himself, thinking that he had understood Lucas’s intentions.
But he didn’t expect that Lucas’s intentions weren’t this at all. Instead, Lucas gave him further encouragement.
People tended to sacrifice for those who understood them. Since Lucas treated him so well, his efforts had paid off!
In fact, Lucas was grateful for Flynn too.
At the beginning, Lucas had indeed only treated Flynn as a general subordinate and even used his acts of dishonesty against him to threaten him into working for him.

But let us set these matters aside.
Flynn had indeed saved Lucas a lot of hassle and worry, be it when he worked at the Stardust Corporation’s Orange County branch, or when Lucas transferred him to the Solar Corporation’s LA branch, or when he tasked him to break into the Stardust Corporation headquarters at the risk of being assassinated by the Huttons. Although his performance wasn’t outstanding, Lucas didn’t have to worry much about him.
Besides, Flynn choosing to risk his own life to join the Stardust Corporation headquarters in DC was a perfect act of loyalty.
Thus, Lucas would no longer just treat Flynn as a subordinate who followed his orders.
“You’re a veteran of the Stardust Corporation and someone I trust and rely on. You don’t have to be so scrupulous toward me when you speak to me in the future,” Lucas said with a smile.
Flynn was extremely touched, but he quickly continued, “Lucas, I know you value me greatly now, but I still think that it’s better to let Mr. Carter be the general manager of the Stardust Corporation. After all, she’s your wife, and it won’t be too appropriate for her to be my subordinate, will it?”
