The meeting room was dead silent for a
full minute.
Micah Zielinski’s face was red and did
not expect that Nicole would turn the gun
on them. He said, “It’s not…”
Nicole interrupted him without a care. “I
believe that you’ve all received notice this
morning that I’m managing everything in
the company in Mr. Stanton’s absence.
I’m in charge of this project, so from now
on, if you don’t want to be a part of it,
hand me your letter of resignation
immediately. Your positions will be
replaced by your deputies. I will explain
everything to Mr. Stanton.”
The people in the room were shocked
and silenced. They had all stepped overeach other to climb to their department
head positions and their deputies were
eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after
position, so no one dared to act rashly at
this moment
Although they could not stand the fact
that Nicole had parachuted into her Vice
President position, they could all tell how
much Grant Stanton supported her since
the first day she arrived. They knew that
they could not afford to offend Nicole.
They all began to regret getting incited by
Micah Zielinski to pull Nicole off her high
horse.
The air in the conference room was cold
and suffocating. No one dared to make a
sound. Micah Zielinski also felt that he
had lost the momentum as no one dared t
o make things difficult for Nicole at this
time.
“Planning Department, can you come up with the proposal by today?” The Head of the Planning
Department, Don Smith, was named and raised his head sharply. “Yes, Vice President Nicole. The
Planning Department will come up with the best plan in the fastest time possible immediately after this
meeting. We certainly won’t delay the project’s progress.” Those who had climbed to these positions
were all old-timers who were shrewd and adaptable. Since Nicole gave them a chance, they would take
it. Otherwise, it would be their loss. Nicole nodded in satisfaction and looked at the others. Her voice
was not as stern anymore. “What about the other departments?” “We’ll research it immediately. We
won’t let the company down!” “Yes, same here.” “Of course, we’ve been prepared for this a long time
ago. We’ll do a good job!” Everyone’s declaration of support instantly eased the atmosphere in the
meeting room. Nicole did not look so ice- cold anymore and resumed her gentle temperament as they
continued the discussion
They were in fact all well prepared for the
meeting. After all, they were all capable
and sensible enough to manage their
respective departments in such a large
corporation
Micah Zielinski and Samantha Lindt, who had been deliberately neglected, sat on the side with glum
faces. Nicole did not care about them because their days in the company were numbered anyway
Towards the end of the meeting, Nicole saw that it was almost time and said,” Although the core
research team is from J &L Corporation, we must also be prepared. I’ve previously discussed this with
Mr. Lichman. Even though we won’t b e involved in the development of the core technology, he has
agreed for us to send over two researchers to participate in the later development. We’ll provide two of
our best-performing and reliable staff, so let’s start looking for suitable candidates. HR should pay more
attention to this as well.”
a Nicole was very satisfied with today’s meeting. At the end of the meeting,
everyone wanted to stay and talk to her
for a few minutes to build a closer
relationship. Nicole responded to every
one of them and smiled warmly, so much
so that she seemed like a completely
different person from her stern and cold
persona earlier.
Logan hurriedly came over and whispered
in her ear. “Vice President Nicole, the
Chairman of Ferguson Corporation is
here.”
Nicole raised an eyebrow. ‘That’s quick…
Turns out Old Master Ferguson is more
fretful than I imagined…’
After all, Old Master Ferguson was the
Chairman of Ferguson Corporation, so
Nicole could not ignore him out of
respect for their company’s relations.
Nicole nodded and left the conference room. “Is he waiting in the guest lounge?” Nicole asked. Logan
shook his head. “He went straight t o your office.” Nicole was slightly surprised, but she knew that Old
Master Ferguson only came for the emerald pipe that was now with her. She lowered her head and
laughed, then pushed the door in. However, she did not expect Ingrid Ferguson to be sitting next t o
Old Master Ferguson. “Rude! How can you come in without knocking first?” Old Master Ferguson sat
upright on the sofa and looked at the woman at the door with a cold face. ‘Is he trying to undermine
me? I’ve just
gone through this sh*t in the meeting and have to bear with this again?’ “Chairman Ferguson, I never
knock when I come into my office.”
