While Jennifer thought highly of Donald, the directors perceived him as someone who made his way up to the top because of his appearance rather than his abilities.
They did not mind Donald's absence from the meeting but were displeased to see him arrive with an unknown companion.
His actions had clearly violated the company's rules.
“Oh. This is Ms. Amelia Ellis. I recommend her to become one of our executive directors,” Donald introduced.
Unlike conventional corporations, Dragon Fide Corporation had not only directors but also executive directors.
While the board of directors would be responsible for making decisions for the company through voting, the actual execution of those decisions would be delegated to the executive directors.
Doing so could effectively prevent the misuse of power in the company.
In other words, every executive director played a crucial role in Dragon Fide Corporation.
The directors all had their own candidates in mind for the position, hoping to further their own interests within the company. In their opinion, Donald had no right to recommend a nobody to be one of the executive directors.
Naturally, Winslow knew what was on Donald's mind, but he remained composed, acting as though he
had nothing to do with it.
On the other hand, all the other directors, led by Sven, had objections. “Mr. Campbell, I don't think you're adhering to the company's protocol. While you have the right to recommend a candidate for the executive director position, that doesn't guarantee her appointment. Whether or not she can be an executive director will have to depend on the final decision we make after a discussion. Miss, I'm afraid we'll have to ask you to leave the room for now.”
Donald, who had taken a seat next to Jennifer, picked his ear and said, “I believe there's no need for me to point out the number of people you all have arranged to be executives in the company. Is a discussion really necessary now that I wish to appoint someone I know as an executive director? I believe Amelia is perfectly capable of assuming the position. How many of you agree with her appointment? How many of you oppose it?”
It was clear that Yulia, Filbert, and Harry would support Donald, as they had seen him use an iron-fist approach in dealing with a former director.
While Jennifer might be more inclined to spare those who opposed her, Donald was known to be uncompromising and ruthless toward anyone who went against him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The three of them confounded the rest of the directors by agreeing with Amelia's appointment without hesitation. What's going on? Why did they make a decision so quickly?
“What's your thought on this, Ms. Wilson?” Sven asked for Jennifer's opinion as he refused to give in.
To his dismay, she replied, “Mr. Campbell and I share the same opinion.”
The smile on Sven's face was frozen in place. How could she side with that pretty boy? Sure, he may be capable, but how could she simply heed his advice on company affairs?
“Do you object to Ms. Ellis' appointment, Mr. Sven?” Donald flashed him a half-smile.
Inwardly, Sven was seething. Who am I to object if Jennifer has agreed with the arrangement?
Once Jennifer made her stance clear, the other directors quickly agreed to make Amelia an executive director of the company.
“Since there are no objections, let us congratulate Ms. Ellis on her appointment,” Jennifer said.
In the blink of an eye, an ordinary employee rose to the top and became an executive director. Such promotion speed was unheard of!
Sven suppressed his dissatisfaction and uttered, “Ms. Wilson, shall we proceed with the earlier discussion?”
“Hold on,” Donald once again interrupted. “Ms. Ellis didn't just come here just to attend the meeting. Earlier, she reported to me on a few things she'd recently discovered, and I think it's imperative that we discuss these matters in this meeting. Ms. Wilson, how about we listen to what Ms. Ellis has to say first?”
Sven gritted his teeth. D*mn you, Donald Campbell!
Irritated, he said, “Mr. Campbell, the topic of today's meeting is Dragon Fide Corporation's collaborative and investment projects for the year, and we're only halfway through the discussion. Your interruption will disrupt the development of our corporation.”
