Chapter 499


    “Oh? Mr. Hoffman, what brilliant ideas do you have now?” Dahlia asked. She had collected evidence ag


    ainst most of the senior executives except for him. That did not mean Hank Hoffman was


    innocent. Instead, he covered his tracks very well to the point that his misdeeds couldn’t be traced back


    to him.


    “On the topic of brilliant ideas, I do have some advice for you.” With a cigar in his mouth, he went


    on, “To be our chairman, you need to build your reputation and capability. In short, you’ll need to make


    profits. That way, we will approve of you.”


    The executives all nodded upon hearing that. Money makes the world go round. Their ultimate goal wa


    s to profit more.


    “I have enough confidence in myself to take up the role of the chairman,” she answered nonchntly. “I


    can’t promise you much, but now that I’m the chairman, all the senior executives here will see a sry


    increase of


    50% and a 20% increase in their annual bonuses. How does that sound?”


    The people started murmuring among themselves after hearing her proposal, A 50% increase in pay an


    d a 20% increase in bonus would be considered generous.


    “Dahlia, we’re practical people who do not like empty promises. Anyone can make promises.” Hank shr


    ugged


    again.


    Dahlia asked, “So, what do you want me to do?”? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    “Thepany is facing three huge challenges now. If you resolve all three, we will ept you as our n


    ew


    chairman. If not, you shall vacate the position for a more suitable candidate.” Hank started giving her tr


    ouble.


    She raised a brow at his words. “What are the three? Tell me.”


    “Firstly, you need to get the me Dragon Gang to pay their 70 million dors worth of debt within seve


    n days,


    Hank dered with a smirk.


    “The me Dragon Gang?” She was pensive. A gang that owed the Nicholson Corp. that amount of m


    oney


    must be difficult to handle.


    “Why? Are you scared? You can turn it down if you’re scared,” Hank challenged her. However, Dahlia ig


    nored his taunts and went straight to the point. “Tell me about the second challenge.”


    “Secondly, you have to secure the Brooks Corporation’s project, which is worth 500 million dors.”


    “What about the third challenge?”


    “Hah! I’ll tell you after youplete the two challenges. It would be useless otherwise.” He chortled.


    “Sure. I will not shy away from challenges that involve thepany. I hope that you make good on your


    promise.” Dahlia reminded him.


    “I am a man who keeps his word. I will approve of you if you’re capable ofpleting all the challenges


    .” He


    tossed his head back.


    “Great. We shall see.” She scanned the room for onest time and left, knowing that she had to show


    Hank


    what she was capable of to win him over. Otherwise, the bunch of old senior executives would never lis


    ten to


    her.


    ‘Ladies and gentlemen, do you think that little girl can do it?” The people in the meeting room started g


    ossiping.


    “No way! We failed to get the 70 million back from the me Dragon Gang. How could she do it in sev


    en days?


    “Right? Everyone knows that the me Dragon Gang is brutal. They’ll tear her limb to limb if she knock


    s on their door for the money!”


    “The first challenge is daunting enough for her. On top of that, she has to deal with that stubborn Brook


    s Corporation.”


    “Mr. Hoffman, your idea of killing with a borrowed knife is pure genius!”


    Hank merely smiled with the cigar between his lips in the


    face of the discussion in the room. He believed that a member of a Nicholson Family branch was no m


    atch for him.


    Meanwhile, just as Dahlia and Dustin took their seats in the chairman’s office, a good–


    looking woman in uniform wandered into the office, her heels clicking as she walked.
