Chapter 904
Immediately, all the blood drained from their faces as both men turned deathly pale.
Never in their wildest dreams had they expected that Arielle would be a university graduate.
Furthermore, she had a double degree from Maxwell University.
Earlier, they claimed that Arielle didn’t have the educational qualifications to be the new chairman.
Right now, Arielle had used their own words against them.
Jacob felt an immense sense of regret. Why didn’t I think of this possibility? I should have just agreed
with Arielle earlier.
Oliver glared at Jacob before he said to Arielle, “Although you have the educational qualifications to be
a chairman, you lack the proper experience to take on this position.”
Arielle chuckled and sneered, “Uncle, are you trying to go back to your words again?”
She then gave Aidan a knowing glance. Immediately, the latter stepped forward. “If you have any
doubts
can bring this matter to court. I believe that you will receive a satisfactory answer in less than a week,”
he offered.
Aidan’s suggestion caused Oliver’s entire body to freeze up like stone.
After all, he was well aware that the legal team of Nightshire Group had never suffered a loss in their
winning streak.
If this issue were filed to the court, Southall Group would be met with even more ridicule and shame.
Henrick’s notorious incident had already made them the laughing stock of the town.
Oliver clenched his jaw in fury. “I have no other objections against your new position. However, you
must prove that you can lead this company to its former
glory.”
A lightbulb lit up in Jacob’s head as a sudden idea popped into his mind.
“Arielle, if you can increase the profits of the AI technology department by fifty percent and restore the
profitability of other departments in this company in a month, we will accept your position as the
chairman of Southall Group without any further complaints. If you fail to do so, don’t forget that the
directors have the power to vote you off this position too,” Jacob said.
Even if Arielle owned the most amount of shares, she would be helpless if the board of directors voted
against her.
Arielle herself was aware of this fact. Without hesitation, she nodded her head in agreement. “Okay.”
The AI technology department has just begun drafting new designs. It would take them at least three
months to release these new products.
On top of that predicament, the other departments in the company had suffered tremendous detriment
as they received no orders. It would be impossible for Arielle to reverse this entire situation in just a
single month.
Who cares if she has a double degree from Maxwell University? She is too young and foolish for this
role.
Jacob had to resist the urge to burst out laughing as he spoke. “Since you’ve agreed, let us sign a
contract. If you fail to reach our agreement within a month, you should resign from the position.”
“Could you please draw up this contract?” Arielle asked Aidan.
Although Aidan hesitated to follow Arielle’s instructions, he relented after he caught sight of the
determined sparkle in her eyes. “All right, Ms. Moore.”
Quickly, the contract was drafted and presented to Arielle.
“I want to add another clause to this contract,” Arielle said after she read the contract. “If I manage to
achieve the goals that the two of you have set, please voluntarily resign from your respective director
positions.”
Jacob’s heart skipped a beat. “Why would we do that?”
“All right, I wholeheartedly agree to this clause!” In contrast, Oliver agreed without a second thought as
he was confident that Arielle would fail.
Jacob seemed to share Oliver’s thoughts. After contemplating for two seconds, he nodded his head
and agreed, “Okay, you can add that clause into the contract.”
It won’t make any difference anyway. While Arielle is busy this month, I will use this chance to affiliate
myself with the other directors and prepare for the next chairman’s election. Now that I think about it,
Arielle’s appearance has benefitted me greatly.
