Chapter 581 Kick Him Out
Upon hearing Jax, Jennifer heaved a sigh of relief. Ha! So that’s what the directors have gathered to confront me about. I guess I’ve overestimated Antonio’s capabilities.
“As the CEO, I didn’t see the need to consult with everyone over such a clear violation of our company’s rules and regulations. Moreover, I’ve already lodged a report for our monetary loss, and the police will handle the case from here on out. All those involved in the scam will be arrested and held responsible for their actions.”
“So what if those people end up in jail? Will we be able to get our money back?” Jax fumed. “Ms. Wilson, nothing matters more than profits when we’re running a business. What good will we get from you recklessly demolishing the buildings and making a police report?”
“What do you guys want, then?” “Simple. We’ve prepared a document, and all that’s required is your signature,” Jax uttered before tossing another folder toward Jennifer.
As soon as the latter read the document, a wave of fury crashed through her.
What? This document states that I must transfer twenty percent of my shares to Antonio and promote him to Dragon Fide Corporation’s deputy CEO! If I were to sign this, my position in the company would be affected, and Antonio would end up with as much authority as I do.
The next second, Jennifer flung the document onto the table. “I won’t sign it. I’ve done nothing wrong.”
An arrogant sneer instantly crept across Jax’s face. “Ms. Wilson, we’re the ones who get to decide if you’ve done right or wrong. In any case, it doesn’t matter if you refuse to sign the document. It will still be executed once the board has passed the vote.”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
As long as half of the twenty-three directors passed the vote, Jennifer could still refuse to sell her shares to Antonio, but there was no doubt the latter would become Dragon Fide Corporation’s deputy CEO.
Just as Jennifer was feeling frustrated and helpless, Donald, who had been listening intently the entire time, suddenly stood up. After skimming through the document placed before Jennifer, he promptly tore it to shreds.
“I can’t believe you guys had the cheek to produce such a document. Are all twenty-three of you blockheads?” “We’re the board of directors, Donald! The least you can do is show us some respect!”
All twenty-three directors used to hold executive-level positions in their companies, but after merging with Dragon Fide Corporation, they had no choice but to be demoted to directors.
Even though their salaries were comparable to what they were getting previously, they couldn’t stand not having any power or say in company affairs.
Initially, they had thought Jennifer would curry favor with them, thus giving them a chance to wrangle some power for themselves. Unfortunately, not only did Jennifer not care about them, but she also went to the extent of scrapping the seventeen projects and lodging a police report!
To make matters worse, those project managers were all trusted subordinates of the directors, so Jennifer’s actions only infuriated them even more.
Therefore, when Antonio privately approached them to pass the vote on the document, everyone agreed without hesitation. Since Jennifer Wilson looks down on us directors, we shall exercise our voting rights and show her that we’re not to be trifled with!
As for Donald, the directors knew he was the founder of Dragon Fide Corporation but always felt that he had merely scammed his way to the top. To them, he was neither capable nor reliable.
Otherwise, why would he have given the position of CEO to a woman?
After witnessing Donald’s antics, Jax sneered, “It looks like we’ll have to add another motion to our board meeting today. I propose we kick Mr. Campbell out of Dragon Fide Corporation!”
