Chapter 356 Relieved


    Benjamin smiled, seemingly knowing what to do. "Thanks, bro."


    With that, Benjamin stood up and left, leaving Frederick puzzled.


    …


    Early the next morning, Grace arrived at the office. It was the semi-annual board meeting. All of


    Amirate''s directors and top executives had already gathered in the top-floor conference room.


    As soon as she entered the office, Luke handed Grace a document, saying, "Ms. Lewis, this is the


    financial statement for the past six months and the financial ounting for the same period.


    "In the first half of the year, ourpany has umted profits that have already surpassedst


    year''s total profit by 10%," Luke said with obvious excitement.


    They had not only achievedst year''s annual performance but also exceeded it by 10%. This


    would be a significant aplishment for any leader, but Grace had achieved it in just half a year.


    "Ms. Lewis, if we present this data to the old folks on the board, they will surely admire and respect


    you. Your bet with Director Walker is as good as won."


    Grace listened to Luke''s words without showing any extra emotion on her face.


    She took the document and looked through it. The calcted profit included the Dunhill project and


    the profits from several unfinished projects.


    "If we exclude the Dunhill project, how much profit do we have left?"


    Luke hurriedly replied, "Ms. Lewis, if we exclude that, we''re still 30% short ofst year''s


    performance."


    Grace nodded. "Got it. Let''s go to the meeting."


    In the conference room, Samuel sat in the second-inmand seat.


    Before entering the conference room, he had already seen the financial statements for the first half


    of the year.


    Grace indeed had strategies, and thepany''s performance was thriving. However, it still fell far


    short of their bet.


    "Director Walker, I think the oue of your bet with Ms. Lewis seems clear."


    "Ms. Lewis is still too young. Although she has excellent management skills, the profit is still not up


    to the standard."


    "In the first half of the year, Ms. Lewis relied on the Dunhill project to achieve such high profits. The


    second half of the year is usually more challenging, and there''s no project as good as the Dunhill


    one. I''m afraid she''ll lose this time."


    Hearing that, Samuel felt smug, but he politely replied, "What are you talking about? Ms. Lewis was


    so confident when she made the bet with me. I''m just going along with it.


    "Now she''s doing her best to improve thepany''s performance, so it''s too early for us to say


    anything."


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    "Haha, you''re really modest, Director Walker. We should learn from you."


    "Amirate indeed needs a central figure like Director Walker."


    "When you be the head of thepany in the future, don''t forget us old folks."


    Samuel chuckled. "Rest assured. As long as everyone works diligently for thepany, no one will


    be mistreated."


    Grace, who had just reached the door, overheard theirments. Luke was about to push the door


    and say something, but Grace stopped him.


    "Ms. Lewis, these people are simply despicable."


    Yet Grace just smiled. "We can''t control their mouths. Let them say whatever they want. Our goal is


    to make them realize that Amirate belongs to the Lewis family, not the Walkers."
