Selfish Motives
“Okay, okay. Then I’ll go and inform her. Right, How about I call her over and you tell her about the
things she should take note of? Tell her everything Ruby needs to do when she’s here. This way, when
you go to the company tomorrow, she can be prepared.”
“Okay. Then let her come now.” Julian did not refuse.
“Then wait here. I will go and call her.” Daphne heard her son agree and immediately got up to call
Vivian.
Julian finally agreed to his mother. In fact, when he went to work alone, it was also a challenge to him.
He didn’t have anyone close to him, and he couldn’t see it with his eyes, so many things made him feel
helpless.
In addition, during this period of time, Vivian had indeed changed a lot. Although he could not see it, he
could feel it.
That night, Julian told Vivian everything she needed to pay attention to. After breakfast the next day,
Vivian went to the Cooper Group with Julian.
Actually, since Ethan got sick until now, there had been some objections in the company. It was just
that nothing major had happened in the company, which was why everything was fine.
When the car stopped in front of the company’s lobby, Vivian got out of the car first, then helped Julian
out of the car. They went to the company’s lobby together.
Because Vivian had been to work here before, she was not unfamiliar with the company. The two of
them took the elevator to Julian’s office floor.
When they walked out of the office and passed the secretariat room, they saw Jenny, the secretary,
walking over nervously. She looked at Julian and called out softly.
Julian stopped and asked slowly, “What’s wrong?”
“Yesterday, a few major shareholders in the company heard that Miss Ruby left and said that you can’t
see now. If this continues, it will be detrimental to the company’s development, so today. . .” Jenny said
a little hesitantly.
Vivian frowned, “Don’t stutter when you speak. So what happened today?”
“They said they were going to hold a meeting and want to choose a new CEO. . .” Jenny said and
immediately lowered her head, not daring to look Vivian in the eyes.
“They are throwing stones while they are down, aren’t they? The chairman is still in the hospital and the
CEO is now coming to the company to work every day. How can they do this? Where are they now?”
Vivian got angry when she heard that.
“They are. . . In the conference room. . .” Jenny lowered her head again and replied.
“Got it, you go ahead!” Vivian looked at Julian and said, “Julian, let’s talk in the office first!”
Julian nodded and followed Vivian into his office.
Once the office door was closed, Vivian took Julian to the leather chair and sat still working in the
company. How can they make such a request?”
Julian frowned. “Actually, I had already expected this. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later.”
His and his father’s situation were all like this. It was inevitable that there would be some differences in
voices in such a large company. It was already unexpected for him to be able to hold on until now.
“Then what should we do now?” Today was the first day that she came to work, and she encountered
this kind of thing. It was also something that Vivian did not expect.
But on second thought, this kind of thing happened. It was a very good opportunity for her.
“Since they are already in the meeting room, it means that they have come prepared. Call Jenny in.”
“Okay.” Vivian nodded and walked to the door to call her secretary Jenny into the office.
“Yes CEO.” Jenny walked in front of Julian.
“How many people are there in the meeting room? Have you gone to see it?”
them in total.”
“It’s Director Dowson Bates!”
“I got it. Go and tell them that the meeting will be held at nine o’clock. You can go out first.” Julian
nodded.
left the room.
Seeing Jenny leave and closing the office door, Vivian looked at Julian and asked, “Why did this person
do this?”
“His son Diego Bates is now the vice president. It seems that he wants to make his son the President.”
When Julian heard this name, he had a general idea.
At nine o’clock in the morning, Vivian brought Julian to the meeting room.
When Vivian walked in, she saw that there were indeed nine people sitting in front of the meeting table.
The one sitting at the front was Dowson Bates.
Vivian helped Julian sit down while she sat beside him. Seeing the secretary close the door of the
conference room, Vivian reminded Julian that the conference could begin.
Julian looked at the front and smiled faintly. “Ever since my father fell sick, I have been very grateful to
everyone for their support. I think that without everyone’s help, the Cooper Group wouldn’t be as
peaceful as it is now. Although I can’t see it with my eyes during this period of time, everyone is still
very supportive of my work. This makes me very happy.”
“No matter what happens today, since I’m here today, I have to thank everyone first! Thank you for
helping me when I encountered difficulties in the Cooper Group. I thought that everyone would continue
to work like this, but when I came to the company today, I heard the secretary say that a few directors
requested for a board meeting. My wife came with me today. If you have any good suggestions for the
company, you can give them. Although I can’t see it, I will definitely be listening!”
After they heard what Julian said, they silently looked at each other. The first one to speak was
Dowson. “President, we are all clear about the chairman’s illness. Your eyes have yet to find a suitable
cornea. We, the directors, have discussed it over the past few days. For the sake of the company’s
development, I suggest you treat your eyes first. After all, such a large company. . . Some things can’t
be managed just by listening.”
“During the time when you are going to operate on your eyes, we will choose an acting CEO to
temporarily replace you. When your eyes are good, the position of the CEO will be reserved for you at
any time!”
Another director heard Dowson’s words and went to speak. “Director Cooper, we have no choice.
There are already rumors spreading outside. Our Cooper Group is such a big company and it will all be
in your hands. It will be fine if nothing big happens. But if something were to happen, it might cause an
irreversible situation to the Cooper Group. The Cooper Group was founded by Chairman Cooper
himself. We don’t want anything to happen to the company either. We just hope that you can come
back and manage the company after you’ve healed your eyes. What do you think?”
“Yes! The few of us are also thinking about the company’s development. I hope Director Cooper
doesn’t think too much about it.”
“That’s right! That’s right! Director Cooper couldn’t see it. If Chairman Cooper was in good health, we
wouldn’t have said anything. But now, many companies outside dare not cooperate with our company.
If this continues, the company will inevitably be affected. I hope that Director Cooper can make some
concessions for the sake of the bigger picture.”
As soon as Dowson spoke, the other directors all agreed.
Vivian was originally a person who was good at observing people’s expressions and words. Soon, she
understood that among these people, Dowson was a key person.
As the sound of the voice gradually faded, Vivian, who was sitting beside Julian, spoke.
“Is everyone done talking? If you are done, can I say a few words?”
Dowson knew her identity, but he did not put her in his eyes. “This meeting is the company’s board of
directors. It does not seem appropriate for Madam of President to attend, right?”
Vivian heard his words and smiled. “Director Bates’ meaning is that as a wife, I can allow my husband
to be bullied by others. Then, I can stay by the side and watch the show without saying anything?”
Dowson immediately put on the airs of an elder in the company. “Madam, don’t distort my meaning. I
mean this meeting. . .”
Vivian did not wait for him to finish speaking and directly slammed the table. “Don’t use the board of
directors to pressure me! Even though my surname is not Cooper, aren’t you all just bullying the entire
Cooper Family? Can’t you see the sickness? Can’t you see Julian’s eyes? But his heart is not blind!”
“Since you want to choose a new CEO, I would like to ask you. During the period when Julian was blind
and still went to work, did he cause any major losses to the company? Did the company stop
advancing? Has it announced that it is going to close down now? There is nothing! You only saw that
his eyes are not good. But you didn’t see that he was working hard.”
“Julian worked very late every night when he came home. He had to spend more energy than normal
people. Because this company was founded by his father, he didn’t want to disappoint his father!
Today, let’s be frank here! I know this meeting was brought up by you! Today, in front of so many
people, do you dare to pat your chest and swear that you organized this meeting not to let your son
become the president? You don’t have any some selfish motives towards yourself, do you dare to
swear?”
Julian quietly sat on the chair. When he heard Vivian’s words, he originally wanted to stop her, but after
thinking about it, it was not a bad idea to let her test everyone.
Dowson did not expect this woman to ask him such a direct question in front of so many people. He
immediately said with a guilty face, “Don’t slander me!”
Vivian smiled. She was not afraid of this person at all. “I just want Director Bates to clarify whether he is
selfish or not. Can’t you just say that you don’t have any motives? But hearing Director Bates’ words
just now, it means that I almost misunderstood him. Since Director Bates is thinking about the
company, I can now promise everyone. . .”
“From today onwards, I will be my husband’s eyes. During this period of time, he didn’t make any
mistakes in his work and the company’s development was the same as before. Like the board
members said just now, because my husband had an eye problem, he can’t work. Then I want to ask
everyone here, when you sign a contract with the other party and you will get sick because of some
health problems, do you want to give up your cooperation with the other party?”
“The strength of a company is there. What we want is strength. If my husband’s eyes hinder the
company’s development, doesn’t that mean that all the employees in the company are useless? If
that’s the case, then I think before we change the president, we should first change all these useless
employees of the company! Isn’t everyone right?”
