    Chapter 288 Selfish Motives


    “Okay, okay. Then I’ll go and inform her. Right, How about I call her over and you tell her about the


    things she should take note of? Tell her everything Ruby needs to do when she’s here. This way, when


    you go to thepany tomorrow, she can be prepared.”


    “Okay. Then let here now.” Julian did not refuse.


    “Then wait here. I will go and call her.” Daphne heard her son agree and immediately got up to call


    Vivian.


    Julian finally agreed to his mother. In fact, when he went to work alone, it was also a challenge to him.


    He didn’t have anyone close to him, and he couldn’t see it with his eyes, so many things made him feel


    helpless.


    In addition, during this period of time, Vivian had indeed changed a lot. Although he could not see it, he


    could feel it.


    That night, Julian told Vivian everything she needed to pay attention to. After breakfast the next day,


    Vivian went to the Cooper Group with Julian.


    Actually, since Ethan got sick until now, there had been some objections in thepany. It was just


    that nothing major had happened in thepany, which was why everything was fine.


    When the car stopped in front of thepany’s lobby, Vivian got out of the car first, then helped Julian


    out of the car. They went to thepany’s lobby together.


    Because Vivian had been to work here before, she was not unfamiliar with thepany. The two of


    them took the elevator to Julian’s office floor.


    When they walked out of the office and passed the secretariat room, they saw Jenny, the secretary,


    walking over nervously. She looked at Julian and called out softly.


    Julian stopped and asked slowly, “What’s wrong?”


    “Yesterday, a few major shareholders in thepany heard that Miss Ruby left and said that you can’t


    see now. If this continues, it will be detrimental to thepany’s development, so today. . .” Jenny said


    a little hesitantly.


    Vivian frowned, “Don’t stutter when you speak. So what happened today?”


    “They said they were going to hold a meeting and want to choose a new CEO. . .” Jenny said and


    immediately lowered her head, not daring to look Vivian in the eyes.


    “They are throwing stones while they are down, aren’t they? The chairman is still in the hospital and the


    CEO is nowing to thepany to work every day. How can they do this? Where are they now?”


    Vivian got angry when she heard that.


    “They are. . . In the conference room. . .” Jenny lowered her head again and replied.


    “Got it, you go ahead!” Vivian looked at Julian and said, “Julian, let’s talk in the office first!”


    Julian nodded and followed Vivian into his office.


    Once the office door was closed, Vivian took Julian to the leather chair and sat still working in the


    company. How can they make such a request?”


    Julian frowned. “Actually, I had already expected this. This kind of thing will happen sooner orter.”


    His and his father’s situation were all like this. It was inevitable that there would be some differences in


    voices in such argepany. It was already unexpected for him to be able to hold on until now.


    “Then what should we do now?” Today was the first day that she came to work, and she encountered


    this kind of thing. It was also something that Vivian did not expect.


    But on second thought, this kind of thing happened. It was a very good opportunity for her.


    “Since they are already in the meeting room, it means that they havee prepared. Call Jenny in.”


    “Okay.” Vivian nodded and walked to the door to call her secretary Jenny into the office.


    “Yes CEO.” Jenny walked in front of Julian.


    “How many people are there in the meeting room? Have you gone to see it?”


    them in total.”


    “It’s Director Dowson Bates!”


    “I got it. Go and tell them that the meeting will be held at nine o’clock. You can go out first.” Julian


    nodded.


    left the room.


    Seeing Jenny leave and closing the office door, Vivian looked at Julian and asked, “Why did this person


    do this?”


    “His son Diego Bates is now the vice president. It seems that he wants to make his son the President.”


    When Julian heard this name, he had a general idea.


    At nine o’clock in the morning, Vivian brought Julian to the meeting room.


    When Vivian walked in, she saw that there were indeed nine people sitting in front of the meeting table.


    The one sitting at the front was Dowson Bates.


    Vivian helped Julian sit down while she sat beside him. Seeing the secretary close the door of the


    conference room, Vivian reminded Julian that the conference could begin.


    Julian looked at the front and smiled faintly. “Ever since my father fell sick, I have been very grateful to


    everyone for their support. I think that without everyone’s help, the Cooper Group wouldn’t be as


    peaceful as it is now. Although I can’t see it with my eyes during this period of time, everyone is still


    very supportive of my work. This makes me very happy.”


    “No matter what happens today, since I’m here today, I have to thank everyone first! Thank you for


    helping me when I encountered difficulties in the Cooper Group. I thought that everyone would continue


    to work like this, but when I came to thepany today, I heard the secretary say that a few directors


    requested for a board meeting. My wife came with me today. If you have any good suggestions for the


    company, you can give them. Although I can’t see it, I will definitely be listening!”


    After they heard what Julian said, they silently looked at each other. The first one to speak was


    Dowson. “President, we are all clear about the chairman’s illness. Your eyes have yet to find a suitable


    cornea. We, the directors, have discussed it over the past few days. For the sake of thepany’s


    development, I suggest you treat your eyes first. After all, such argepany. . . Some things can’t


    be managed just by listening.”


    “During the time when you are going to operate on your eyes, we will choose an acting CEO to


    temporarily rece you. When your eyes are good, the position of the CEO will be reserved for you at


    any time!”


    Another director heard Dowson’s words and went to speak. “Director Cooper, we have no choice.


    There are already rumors spreading outside. Our Cooper Group is such a bigpany and it will all be


    in your hands. It will be fine if nothing big happens. But if something were to happen, it might cause an


    irreversible situation to the Cooper Group. The Cooper Group was founded by Chairman Cooper


    himself. We don’t want anything to happen to thepany either. We just hope that you cane


    back and manage thepany after you’ve healed your eyes. What do you think?”


    “Yes! The few of us are also thinking about thepany’s development. I hope Director Cooper


    doesn’t think too much about it.”


    “That’s right! That’s right! Director Cooper couldn’t see it. If Chairman Cooper was in good health, we


    wouldn’t have said anything. But now, manypanies outside dare not cooperate with ourpany.


    If this continues, thepany will inevitably be affected. I hope that Director Cooper can make some


    concessions for the sake of the bigger picture.”


    As soon as Dowson spoke, the other directors all agreed.


    Vivian was originally a person who was good at observing people’s expressions and words. Soon, she


    understood that among these people, Dowson was a key person.


    As the sound of the voice gradually faded, Vivian, who was sitting beside Julian, spoke.


    “Is everyone done talking? If you are done, can I say a few words?”


    Dowson knew her identity, but he did not put her in his eyes. “This meeting is thepany’s board of


    directors. It does not seem appropriate for Madam of President to attend, right?”


    Vivian heard his words and smiled. “Director Bates’ meaning is that as a wife, I can allow my husband


    to be bullied by others. Then, I can stay by the side and watch the show without saying anything?”


    Dowson immediately put on the airs of an elder in thepany. “Madam, don’t distort my meaning. I


    mean this meeting. . .”


    Vivian did not wait for him to finish speaking and directly mmed the table. “Don’t use the board of


    directors to pressure me! Even though my surname is not Cooper, aren’t you all just bullying the entire


    Cooper Family? Can’t you see the sickness? Can’t you see Julian’s eyes? But his heart is not blind!”


    “Since you want to choose a new CEO, I would like to ask you. During the period when Julian was blind


    and still went to work, did he cause any major losses to thepany? Did thepany stop


    advancing? Has it announced that it is going to close down now? There is nothing! You only saw that


    his eyes are not good. But you didn’t see that he was working hard.”


    “Julian worked veryte every night when he came home. He had to spend more energy than normal


    people. Because thispany was founded by his father, he didn’t want to disappoint his father!


    Today, let’s be frank here! I know this meeting was brought up by you! Today, in front of so many


    people, do you dare to pat your chest and swear that you organized this meeting not to let your son


    be the president? You don’t have any some selfish motives towards yourself, do you dare to


    swear?”


    Julian quietly sat on the chair. When he heard Vivian’s words, he originally wanted to stop her, but after


    thinking about it, it was not a bad idea to let her test everyone.


    Dowson did not expect this woman to ask him such a direct question in front of so many people. He


    immediately said with a guilty face, “Don’t nder me!”


    Vivian smiled. She was not afraid of this person at all. “I just want Director Bates to rify whether he is


    selfish or not. Can’t you just say that you don’t have any motives? But hearing Director Bates’ words


    just now, it means that I almost misunderstood him. Since Director Bates is thinking about the


    company, I can now promise everyone. . .”


    “From today onwards, I will be my husband’s eyes. During this period of time, he didn’t make any


    mistakes in his work and thepany’s development was the same as before. Like the board


    members said just now, because my husband had an eye problem, he can’t work. Then I want to ask


    everyone here, when you sign a contract with the other party and you will get sick because of some


    health problems, do you want to give up your cooperation with the other party?”

    “The strength of apany is there. What we want is strength. If my husband’s eyes hinder the


    company’s development, doesn’t that mean that all the employees in thepany are useless? If


    that’s the case, then I think before we change the president, we should first change all these useless


    employees of thepany! Isn’t everyone right?”
