Chapter 724
Molly knew Hans was there to back her up, so she stood up and said, “Sorry guys, I’ve got stuff to deal with. If anyone wants to quit, you better hand in your resignation today. After today, if anyone breaks the rules or acts weird, I’ll hold you accountable and demand compensation. Meeting over.”
“This chick. She’s a real pain in the ass.” President Louis was so irritated he could hardly breathe. His secretary quickly stepped in to give him a chest massage.
“This is too much! I’ve slaved away for twelve years in this company, and she doesn’t respect me at all.” President Merlin grumbled to the other chairmen, and he didn’t expect this girl to not only refused to keep him on board but even kicked him out.
“She’s now the major shareholder, and she’s got the backing of Collins Fashion.” another chairman sighed, “Having a little girl leading the company just doesn’t sit right with me.”
“Yeah, previously, when her uncle was in charge, although he didn’t make any big strides, at least he’s a middle–aged man, not like a little girl.”
“According to the rules, when a new president takes office, there’s supposed to be a celebration party and everyone has to attend.”
Someone brought up this issue, and many of the chairmen felt a headache coming on. They had already rejected Molly taking over the company, and now they needed to throw a party to welcome her.
What a drag.
Molly went to the lounge and asked someone to pour coffee for Hans. Once they were alone, she broke into a big smile.
“Hans, you came to back me up, didn’t you?‘
“Yeah, nobody’s giving you a hard time, right?” Hans noticed she seemed fine and didn’t seem hurt.
“During my time at Bella Management, I picked up her leadership style. Today, I managed to pull through, not sure what troubles are coming my way next.”
As Molly was saying this, someone knocked on the door. It was an assistant carrying two cups of coffee.
“Mr. Collins, your coffee. President Molly, yours.” After setting down the coffee, the assistant reminded her in a low voice, “President Molly, there’s a celebration party tonight to mark your official takeover of the company. It’s customary for the board of directors to decide the time and place. Please be sure to attend.”
“What? A celebration party? Whose bright idea was that?” Molly was already fed up with those old directors.
Before she could complain, the assistant told her it was her grandfather’s idea, so Molly had to swallow her complaints.
“So what am I supposed to do at this celebration party tonight?” Molly had no clue.
The assistant was equally inexperienced. She just started her internship at the company, and her first task was to assist Molly.
“When I left the meeting room earlier, I heard one of the chairmen saying.”
The assistant stopped, looking at Hans, unsure whether to share this information with an outsider.
Molly caught her drift and generously said, “No problem, go ahead. Hans is a friend.”
Hearing this, the assistant spilled the beans.
“One of the chairmen said he wants to see what kind of people you can invite tonight! After asking around, I found out that tonight’s event isn’t just a celebration. It’s also a test of your connections as the new CEO. Basically, they want to see what benefits you can bring to the company after taking over. Usually, the bosses of companies who have a good relationship with you would attend your celebration party.”
As soon as Molly heard this, she knew she was in trouble. She didn’t have any connections. How could she possibly invite influential people to support her?
“I was actually quite worried, but then you said Mr. Collins is our friend, and I felt relieved.” The assistant let out a sigh of relief and relaxed, “Mr. Collins has a huge influence. Who in Solterra can compare to him?”
Molly glanced at Hans, and there’s no way he would attend such a boring party, right?
Besides, Hans had already helped her so much that she didn’t want to impose on him again.
The assistant continued, “Also, during the live broadcast, that foreign contestant Isabella mentioned you’re good friends with the famous designer Queen Abby. Is that true? If Queen Abby could come, those old directors and shareholders would definitely see you in a new light!”
Molly was even more troubled, “Queen Abby is currently in Dawnstar.”
