Chapter 466
Now, Maja was checking out Zoey’s resume.
Zoey just joined the company earlier this year. Maja called her in.
Zoey was twenty–one, petite, and cute..
Maja looked her over and said, “Do you think you can handle being the president’s assistant?”
Zoey was a bit taken aback, but she nodded anyway.
She had heard about the new president’s style; it was a chance for promotion for her.
“Then go to HR and handle the transfer procedures; come to the top floor of the company in the afternoon; I’ll arrange a workspace for you.”
Zoey nodded again. she wasn’t much of a talker, but she would do as Maja said.
Maja was quite pleased with her.
On the other hand, Carlene, who suffered a major blow yesterday, was crying her eyes out.
She heard that Edith had woken up, so she went to see her early in the morning.
Edith was back at Raymond Mansion when she heard that the court was still waiting for her to appear. She was so angry that she almost passed out. “That woman, ugh.”
Edith could just skin Maja!
Carlene brought gifts to see Edith, and then she cried on the side.
“Edith, I’ve been so insulted, I dare not go out and meet people or attend any events.”
Edith coughed a few times, then asked Selena.
“What does the Pennyfeather family’s company do?”
Selena wasn’t interested in the Pennyfeather family; she only knew that the Raymond Corporation had invested a lot of money in their company and that the Pennyfeather family was always losing money.
Carlene chimed in..
“Edith, they make paint.”
Edith’s eyes squinted. “Carlene, you guys do real estate; would acquiring this paint company be beneficial to your company?”
The corners of Carlene’s mouth twitched slightly upward. “Yes, but I’m afraid if I make a move on the Pennyfeather family, Grandpa Holden will be mad. And I don’t know what lan thinks. Most importantly, the Pennyfeather family is a listed company; it would be a bit difficult for us to acquire them right away.”
The Shepard family was already at the threshold of the elite, but there was still a gap with elites like the Pennyfeather family.
They could acquire the Pennyfeather family, but it would require long–term effort, which was boring.
Edith sneered, “I’ll call lan now and have him send someone to help you acquire the Pennyfeather family, and he can also fund you some money. After all, you’re going to marry into the Raymond family; his money is your money.”
Hearing this, Carlene’s breathing became a little shaky.
But the next second, Edith’s tone turned cold: “But that fake painting–don’t ever give it to me again; you embarrassed me.”
She did mind, but compared to Maja, Carlene was a lot better.
At least Carlene would try to comfort her, while Maja would only confront her.
People like obedient, controllable ones.
Besides, Eric might like Carlene, and whatever Eric liked, naturally, was the best.
By evening, Maja had finished dealing with the company’s affairs and was about to leave when Zoey came in. She had spent the entire afternoon sorting out all the problems the company had had in the past.
“Ms. Pennyfeather, you need to check these files.”
Maja was obviously surprised; she hadn’t expected Zoey to be so capable.
She had a fairly comprehensive understanding of the company’s overall situation when she investigated the senior management of the company, but Zoey provided more detailed information, which surprised her.
Ms. Pennyfeather, around three o’clock this afternoon, a company bought 3% of our company’s shares, and some people are gradually getting in touch with other senior executives. I guess they might be secretly acquiring our company.”
Maja frowned at such a major matter, and not a single person reported it to her.
She immediately opened her computer for a check, and soon she found the target, the EverBest Group, a real estate company, and also the Shepard family’s company.
She was about to continue checking, but the information was immediately updated.
Now the EverBest Group was no longer secretly acquiring but had publicly announced that they wanted to acquire the Neilian Group within a week. If any shareholders held shares, they could quote them, and they would buy these shares at a high price.
And they had already acquired 5% of the company’s shares.
Maja’s eyes instantly sharpened; this matter had been going on for an afternoon, and not a single person on the board of directors told her, which undoubtedly showed their purpose.
They all wanted to sell their shares privately at a high price and then leave.
She was betrayed by these board members. Meanwhile, she received a message from Carlene.
[If you don’t apologize to me before nine o’clock tomorrow night, I will be fully responsible for this acquisition.]
[Your husband is still on my side.]
Carlene sent these two messages, looking very smug..
