Coming back to earth in the first ce, Caroline looked at them with an astounded look on her face and asked, “Dad? Leo? Here is Vesper Corporation! What are you guys doing here?”
Even though they had never expected that they would ever encounter Carolineand the rest of the people in the elevator, Leoand William soon regained theirposure.
It was at the moment when William was about to speak that Rebacaught herself and looked at Leowith strange eyes, “Is this where you’re taking William?”
Having no idea about what was in Reba’s head, Leonodded, “Yes.”
“Now, I see.” Said Rebaas if she was clear about everything, and then she continued with a disdainful look in her eyes, “You’re taking him here to look for a job, aren’t you?’
Then, she turned to William and reproached, “You could have talked to us if you were really going to find a job! Just look around: everyone here is all your family, and the shareholder of Vesperas well! It is us who can arrange you a well enough position in thepany as long as you talk to us, but why do you choose to take such a great pain to follow this little shit to here merely for a job interview?”
“Indeed. I’m the manager of thepany’s ministry of personnel, and it will be more than easy for me to get you into thepany.” Caroline said.
Nearly each of them was looking at Williamwith a strange look in their eyes – it seemed certain enough for them that the two were here for a job.
With his face darkened, William said, “No, you guys get it all wrong. I…”
“There is no misunderstanding, for sure!” Rebainterrupteddirectly, “The whole Vesper Corporationis facing a turbulent time, and a new president is taking office. Thus, we shall not screw it up! It will be a shame for our family if others know you have been taken here by him for merely a job!”
At this moment, with a loud ‘ding’, the elevator door opened.
Rebaleft Williamwitha final warning, and then stepped into the meeting room along with CarolineandPatricia.
As Leo looked at their backs with coldness, William forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry for this,Leon.”
With the expression on his face softened, Leooffered a thinugh, “It seems that they have already been blinded by their identities as the shareholders.”
“Shall we demote them?” Asked William.
“There is no need for that.” Said Leo, “I heard that Vesper Corporationwas going to cooperate withthe Ford Group, is that truth?”
“Yes, it is.” Answered William with a nod.
the Ford Groupwas registered under the name ofthe Ford family. Since Caroline and Rebacame to power in Vesper Corporation, Vesper Corporationhad then been cooperating withthe Ford familyon business.
Leosneered, “These women ofthe Ford familywant to steal money from Vesper Corporation.”
Pondering in silence, Williamwould leave them aside if the cooperation was frank and righteous, since it would be profitable for anyone. However, things would turn different if the cooperation was based on theunteralsacrifice of his ownpany.
“I’m going to cancel all the cooperation between mypany andthe Ford Group.” Said Williampoint-nk.
“Your personal strength is not enough, dad.”Leosaid, “They will only be more rampant and unscrupulous if they know you are the iing new chairman. You need someone to be your ally.”
“But where can I find such a man?” Williamasked with his brows knitted.
Leoanswered with a secret smile, “Don’t worry. He is on the way.”
……
On the other side, the group of Rebawas already in the meeting room. Soon,a director came up and asked in a whisper, “Have you heard of it, Mrs. Ford? The new chairman is going to convene a board meeting.”
Reba nodded, “Yeah, I’ve heard of it, and I’m wondering what kind of a man the new president will be.”
“He just purchased the wholepany, my lord! He must be one of the most influential business tycoons!” Said the director, “Ourpany is in a turbulent period and we need someone to lead us towards our prosperity! You’re one of the most experienced of us, Mrs. Ford, and know everything about the structure and the pattern of ourpany. The iing boss will definitely put you in an important position!’
Hearing that, Rebasmiled as if she was longing for such an oue.Content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
Everyone inside the meeting room were all trying their best to hold back the excitement struggling inside, and awaiting the arrival of the new chairman.
Soon, they heard steady and conservative footsteps from outside the door.
“Shush! He is here!”
Then, each single member of the board straightened their clothes and sat properly – they all wanted to show the new chairman their best.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties stepped inside.
Standing up nearly at the same time, all members bent down and greeted, “Greetings, Mr. chairman!”
Stunned for a while, the man smiled, “I’m not the chairman, guys. Instead, I’m his assistant, and you guys can call meLena.”
Hearing that, the board members looked at each other with bewilderment, and wondered where the new chairman was.
With his eyes narrowed, the secretary squinted through all the people around, and looked straight after his eyes fell on Reba,Carolineand the rest of the groupbriefly.
He then announced with a loud voice, “OK,dies and gentlemen, there are three things that need to be made clear in today’s meeting.”
With a pause, he continued, “Inthe first ce, please allow me to introduce the new president of ourpany, William Ford! And now, please wee Mr. Fordto give us a speech.”
Everyone around was all stunned by the shocking news, especially the group of Reba, whose eyes were wide open and astonished expression on their faces turned frozen.
“Was I hearing the name correctly?”Reba asked Carolinewith incredible eyes on her, “Was he saying William?”
“Yes! He said dad was the new chairman of thepany!” Carolineanswered with excitement.
Although she didn’t know what had exactly happened, she knew that the Ford familywould meet its rise and prosperity if Williamhad truly retrieved his power in Vesper Corporation.
“But what if the new president just coincidently shares the same name with William?” With suspicion on her face, Rebawas wondering what was really going on.
With eyes of amaze and excitement fallen on him, Williamstepped inside the office with his head up, andfor Leo, he was standing by the doorway of the meeting room and looking at everything with a smile on his face.
“It’s dad!” Carolineeximed withastonishmenton her face.
“God, it’s true! But how did he be the chairman of thepany?” Rebamuttered with a strange look on her face.
In her mind, something didn’t seem right – Virgil Corporation had already been purchased by Vesper Corporation, and the sponsorship of880 milliondors should also be taken over by thepany. Where did he get the money to purchase Vesper Corporation?
“Dad, over here!” Caroline waved to Williamexcitedly.
For RebaandPatricia, they returned to the present moment and were both looking at Williamwith excitement.
If Williamwas really the chairman of Vesper Corporation, it would be one of the most profitable things forthe Ford family.
However, William just simply ignored their fervent eyes on him, and finished his speech.
“Thanks for the brilliant speech of Mr.Ford! Now, the second thing I’m going to announce is that” SaidLenaloudly, “Mr. Fordwas going to select one of the most crucial cadres to hold the post of vice-chairman.”
Hearing the announcement, the group of Rebawere nearly driven insane with expression ofwildecstasy in their eyes, especially for William’s wifeRebaand his daughter Caroline, who were most likely to win the position of vice-chairman.
However, instead of putting through the name of the vice-president,Lenachose to move on, “Thest thing I’m going to announce is that Vesper Corporationwill break off all business ties withthe Ford Group!”
