Chapter 598 Candidate for the Board Chairperson


    Sydney nned to hold a shareholders’ meeting and take the position of chairperson of the board


    of directors when the factory waspletely built and the machines from Kingthene were delivered.


    In this way, she could legitimately gain the upper hand over Stephen and take back the other half of


    the management rights in his hands, instead of being suppressed by Stephen even though she was


    thergest shareholder.


    However, before the factory waspletely built, Stephen held a board meeting to elect the


    chairperson.


    It was also a good thing Since Stephen was so eager to help Sydney to be the chairperson of the


    board, why didn''t she satisfy him?


    At the door, Stephen''s assistant listened to Sydney''s words and immediately lowered his head in


    fear.


    "President Raines, it''s useless for you to tell me this. You''d better tell Mr. Dayton yourself."


    "OK, I’ll tell him." Sydney stood up.


    She knew it was useless to tell the assistant, so she didn''t want to embarrass the assistant. She


    picked up the notebook on the desk and said, "Lead the way."


    "Please, President Raines." Seeing that Sydney agreed to attend the meeting, the assistant was


    relieved, and then he hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.


    Sydney walked over and handed him the notebook.


    The assistant quickly took it and held it for her.


    Sydney straightened the coat on her shoulders and walked out in high heels.


    Soon, she came to the door of the conference room.


    The assistant opened the door for her.


    Sydney lifted her feet and walked in. She saw that Skylight Corporation''s shareholders and senior


    directors had already sat in the room. She was thest one toe.


    When these shareholders and senior directors saw Sydneying in, they stopped talking and


    greeted her, "Hi, Vice President Raines."


    Although she was only the vice president, she held the most shares in Skylight Corporation.


    Therefore, they would still say hello when they saw her.


    Sydney nodded to these people as a response and then went to her seat to sit down.


    Stephen''s assistant, who followed behind her, stepped forward and put her notebook on the table in


    front of her, and then quickly stood behind Stephen.


    Stephen nced at everyone in the conference room. Before moving his gaze away, he focused on


    Sydney for two seconds.


    Sydney felt strange when she noticed his gaze.


    Unconsciously, she straightened her body and narrowed her eyes.


    What did Stephen''s gaze mean?


    What did he want to do?


    Sydney knew that it must not be that simple for Stephen to hold this shareholders'' meeting at this


    time.


    After all, Stephen was not the secondrgest shareholder but ranked fourth. The reason why he


    was able to take the post of president was due to his ruthless means. In addition, the second and


    thirdrgest shareholders had little ability, so they did notpete with Stephen.


    However, Stephen held a general meeting of shareholders today, which was abnormal.


    First of all, Stephen knew that he could not be the chairperson. Therefore, holding this shareholders''


    meeting would not do him any good. It would only push Sydney to the position of chairperson.


    Moreover, Stephen could not have been unaware that the first thing she did when she became the


    chairperson was to take back the management rights in his hands.


    So why did Stephen hold the shareholders’ meeting?


    Stephen''s meaningful gaze just now clearly revealed that this meeting was aimed at her.


    While Sydney was thinking about what Stephen wanted to do, Stephen suddenly pped his


    hands.


    "Well, now that everyone is here, let''s start our meeting today. As we all know, a good enterprise


    can''t do without a chairperson because it will be bad for the development of our group. So today, I


    propose that we elect a chairperson."


    Those on Stephen''s side naturally nodded in support.


    But the people on Sydney''s side frowned one after another.


    One of the department managers directly raised his hand and asked, "President Dayton, do we


    need to elect the chairperson? Isn''t Vice President Raines the chairperson? She is thergest


    shareholder of our group. Besides her, who else is suitable for this position?"


    "Yes, this meeting is pointless." Others agreed.


    Sydney was very pleased to see these senior directors and shareholders speak for her, and a smile


    appeared on her face.


    However, Stephen''s face turned gloomy when he saw Sydney''s smile. "Sydney, do you think you


    should be the chairperson, too?"


    Sydney took a cup of coffee in front of her and drank it. Her voice was cold and dry. " Mr. Dayton, I


    don''t think you should ask me that because you have an answer in your heart, don''t you? Of


    course, if you have to listen to my answer, I can also tell you that I am determined to be the


    chairperson of the board. I have 51% of the absolute equity of Skylight Corporation. I should be the


    absolute speaker of Skylight Corporation, right?"


    Stephen didn''t expect Sydney''s answer to be so rude. He thought she would be a little more tactful.


    "You have been managing Skylight Corporation for a few months and have be more and more


    vigorous. You don''t know what modesty is." Stephen looked at Sydney with a smile.


    Sydney smiled, "What? Mr. Dayton, I just said that I am thergest shareholder of Skylight


    Corporation, so I can’t change it whether I am modest or not. In that case, I’d better not be modest


    and exin what I mean directly. After all, there is no need to make these detours. But looking at


    your expression, it seems that you don''t want me to be the chairperson, right?"


    Sydney''s words were very straightforward. Everyone looked at Stephen.


    Those who supported Stephen knew that Stephen didn''t want Sydney to be the chairperson.


    And those who supported Sydney wanted Stephen to give an exnation. Why was he unwilling to


    let Sydney be the


    chairperson?


    Stephen didn''t expect that Sydney’s short words would embarrass him so much.


    At this time, the speeches Stephen had prepared were useless. He showed a gloomy face and said


    reluctantly, "Why did you say that? Of course, I didn''t mean that. You misunderstood me. You know


    that you are thergest shareholder. So how can I have the idea that I don''t want you to be the


    chairperson?"


    In fact, Stephen really didn''t want Sydney to be the chairperson because he didn''t want to be


    suppressed by her.


    However, he could only hold this thought in his mind and could not say it directly.


    Otherwise, it couldn''t be good for him. If Sydney was mad at him, she could take the position of


    chairperson of the board of directors by virtue of her equity and deal with him, who was just a small


    shareholder.


    With his small share, he was not her opponent at all.


    Thest thing Stephen could do now was to annoy Sydney. If she became the chairperson, he


    couldn''t carry out his n.

    "Well." Sydney was aware of Stephen''s hypocrisy but did not expose it. She smiled and said, "So


    President Dayton wants me to be the chairperson of the board, right? Are you holding this meeting


    for me?"


    There was a flicker of anger in Stephen’s eyes, but he showed a forced and sinister smile. "You said


    something wrong. I want you to be the chairperson of the board, but whether you can be the


    chairperson depends on your ability. After all, another candidate for the chairperson will not just


    stand by and watch you be the chairperson."


    "What are you talking about? Who is the other candidate for the chairperson?" Sydney''s expression


    slightly changed, and her eyebrows tightened.
