Chapter 598 The Candidates for the Chairman


    Amber had intended to take office as the chairman of the board after the factory was built and the


    machines were delivered from Country K.


    In this way, she could justifiably overshadow Bernardo and take back the other half of the rights. For


    now,pared with Bernardo, Amber was at a disadvantage even though she held the most shares.


    However, Bernardo convened a board meeting to elect the chairman before the factory was built.


    Now that Bernardo was eager to choose a chairman, Amber decided to grant his wish.


    At the door, after hearing Amber''s words, Bernardo''s assistant lowered his head in fear. "Miss Reed,


    I''m just an assistant. You should tell Mr. Delgado yourself."


    "Okay, then I''ll tell him." Amber stood up.


    She knew that it was useless to say anything to the assistant, so she didn''t mean to embarrass him.


    Amber picked up the notebook on the table and said, "Let''s go."


    "After you, Miss Reed." Seeing that Amber agreed to attend the meeting, the assistant was relieved,


    and then hurriedly made way for Amber.


    Amber walked over and handed her notebook to the assistant.


    The assistant quickly took it.


    Amber straightened the jacket draped over her shoulders and walked out on high heels.


    Soon, Amber reached the door of the meeting room.


    The assistant opened the door for her.


    Hardly had Amber walked in when she saw that the meeting room was filled with Goldstone''s


    shareholders and executives. Amber was thest one to arrive.


    When these shareholders and senior executives saw Amber, they all stopped talking and greeted her,


    "Good morning, Miss Reed."


    Although Amber was just the vice president, she held the most shares in Goldstone


    Therefore, no one dared to ignore her in public.


    Amber nodded slightly at them in return, walked to her seat, and sat down.


    Bernardo''s assistant, who was following behind Amber, stepped forward and put Amber''s notebook on


    the table in front of her. After that, the assistant left quickly, returning to stand behind Bernardo, who


    was sitting opposite.


    Bernardo nced at everyone in the meeting room. Having stared at Amber for a few seconds, he


    looked away.


    Amber realized something unusual in his eyes.


    Amber subconsciously straightened her back and narrowed her eyes.


    Amber wondered why Bernardo looked at her that way.


    What did he want to do?


    Amber knew that Bernardo must want to do something by holding this meeting.


    The shares in Bernardo''s hands ranked only third or fourth. He was the president because he was


    cruel and shrewd and the other shareholders were not capable enough topete against him.


    It was so strange for Bernardo to hold such a general meeting of shareholders.


    First of all, Bernardo knew well that he would not be selected as the chairman, so he could get nothing


    by holding this meeting. On the contrary, it would help Amber take office as chairman.


    Bernardo also knew that Amber would take over his management rights after she became the


    chairman.


    Then why did Bernardo hold this meeting?


    Moreover, ording to Bernardo''s eyes, this meeting was held for Amber.


    Just when Amber was thinking about what Bernardo was going to do, Bernardo pped his hands.


    "Well, since everyone is here, let''s start our meeting today. Everyone knows that a goodpany


    cannot live without a top leader. Theck of a top leader won''t be conducive to the development of our


    Those who stood with Bernardo naturally nodded in support.


    But the people siding with Amber all frowned.


    One of the department managers raised his hand and said, "Mr. Delgado, why do you want us to elect


    the chairman? Arguably, Miss Reed is our chairman. She held thergest shares among us. Besides


    her, no one is qualified."

    "Yes, it is meaningless to hold this meeting," the others echoed.


    Amber looked at the senior executives and shareholders who spoke for her and gave a satisfied smile.


    However, when Bernardo saw her smile, his face darkened. "Amber, do you think you should take


    office as the chairman?"


    Amber took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of her, and said in a cold voice, "Mr. Delgado, I don''t


    think you should ask me about this. You have got the answer in your heart, don''t you? If you insist on


    me saying something about this, then I can tell you that I''m perfect for the chairman. I have 51% shares


    in Goldstone, so I have a final say in everything, right? "


    Bernardo didn''t expect Amber to be so straightforward. He had thought she would be euphemistic.


    "Amber, since you have been in charge of Goldstone, you be more arrogant. You should stay


    humble." Bernardo looked at Amber with a long face.


    Amber smiled. "Humble? Mr. Delgado, I hold the most shares in Goldstone. Instead of beating around


    the bush, I prefer cutting straight to the chase. Mr. Delgado, you don''t look like you want me to be the


    chairman, right? "


    Hearing Amber''s words, everyone looked toward Bernardo.


    Bernardo''s people naturally knew that Bernardo did not want Amber to be the chairman.


    But Amber''s people wanted Bernardo to exin it.


    Bernardo didn''t expect Amber to put him on the spot.


    What he had prepared to say was useless now. He had no choice but to say unwillingly, "Don''t get me


    wrong, Amber. You are thergest shareholder, so I certainly back you as the chairman."


    Bernardo didn''t want Amber to be the chairman because he didn''t want to be overshadowed.


    Nheless, he didn''t dare to tell this to anyone here now.


    Bernardo didn''t want to offend Amber. After all, Amber could depend on her shares to take office as the


    chairman and make things harder for him.


    With the shares in his hand, Bernardo was no match for Amber at all.


    And thest thing Bernardo could do was anger Amber. Once Amber became the chairman, his n


    would fail.


    "Really?" Amber was amused by Bernardo''s words, but she did not expose him. She said with a half-


    smile, "Mr. Delgado, do you mean you also back me as the chairman? Then this meeting is held for


    me, right?"


    A trace of anger shed in Bernardo''s eyes, but he forced a sullen smile, "Don''t be so anxious, Amber.


    Although I want you to be the chairman, you have to win it by yourself. After all, another candidate will


    not have you take office."


    "What are you talking about? Another chairman candidate?" Amber''s face changed with a frown.
