Chapter 294 Hannah's Courage
At the meeting, Hannah looked at Miguel. Seeing her father was proud of her being approved by others, Hannah felt inexplicably sad. In her previous lifetime, she could stay by her father's side, share his worries and problems, and become his pride. However, she spent everything on a faithless man. In the end, their family was ruined. If she hadn't relived this life, she would be sorry to meet her parents in the heaven.
She inhibited the tears. She didn't want to be so sentimental anymore. At least for now, she was alive and what she should do at present was to be fine and live well.
"I don't agree!" A voice of disapproval suddenly appeared in the board conference room.
Hannah turned her eyes and looked over. This time it wasn't Wayne, it was another senior leader.
"Indeed, she is very capable, I admit that. But it is inappropriate for Hannah to take over Roger's position." The speaker paused for a moment, and seemed to be mustering up his courage, "Mr Chairman, I have something to say. I say it out of position, and I hope you don't mind it."
"William, if you have something to say, you may speak up." Miguel respected this director. After all, he was one of the few shareholders of the Group's older generation who were still working here. "Your father left the Group to you, but he also clarified the position of your elder brother Roger. In other words, you are the owner of the company, but you are not the only one who owns it. What I'm talking about now is very straightforward, that is, Roger's position, within the reasons, should be inherited by his only son, Wayne. Hannah can take over all other positions, but this position, only Wayne can inherit it." William said.
Hearing that, Wayne secretly felt exhilarated. With the support of a shareholder on Roger's side, Wayne was thankful that that position wouldn't belong to Hannah since she was hindered by such a powerful man in the Group. Thinking of becoming the senior vice chairman of Cooper Group, he almost trembled with excitement for getting such an authoritative name. Especially when he heard that Miguel recognized it at the moment, he said, "William is right, thank you for reminding me."
"I'm just doing my duty, and I'm afraid that faithful words grate upon ears."
"It's not that serious." Miguel quickly said politely, "I completely agree with William's point of view."
William nodded, with a little relief.
"It's just that with Wayne's current achievements, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to take over the position." Miguel said bluntly.
The joy on Wayne's face vanished in an instant.
"When Hannah first joined the company and made a promise in front of the senior leaders, Wayne and Mary also made the same promise. Lily." Miguel called his personal secretary again. The secretary hastily pressed the next page of the presentation.
Miguel looked at the projected screen and said, "This is Wayne's achievement in the past three months. The goal set at the beginning was that the public relations department would take the project of the international playground, and at the same time help the total revenue of the interface board to double. Now the result is that the international amusement park is still in the ambiguous stage of municipal planning. As for the number of signed orders, compared with last year, the orders of the customer collection department are one-fifth less."
Wayne was extremely embarrassed by what he said. During this time in the company, he did not make any achievements. He wished he could but the truth was not his expectations. Just watching Hannah shine brightly all the time, but he seemed to be unable to do anything, even a help. Day after day, three months passed fast.
"William, I made it clear in front of everyone and in front of Wayne's father, Roger, that if Wayne and Mary didn't complete their performance, they would start over as ordinary employees. Now we give Wayne a higher position with disregard for his performance. Such an arrangement may not be appropriate."
William did not stand by Roger's side. He just wanted the fair and put forward his own point of view. Miguel knew it too and that was why he respected him so much.
"Well, then I won't say more. I just think that if the chairman insists on placing Hannah in the position of senior vice chairman, it will be a joke of our company."
In fact, it was also for the sake of the company's reputation.
"I don't need to be the senior vice chairman. I feel that I am still young and need more experience. I am under pressure when I was given such a high position." Hannah suddenly stood up from her seat and expressed her attitude. Such words made her very kind and generous.
"William is right. If I take the position, I will fall into disrepute. It will be rumored that the chairman of Cooper Group put obstacles in the uncle's family's way. Not only the senior leaders can't accept that, but I can't accept it. I can't accept my father being misunderstood like this, so I won't take over the position of the senior vice chairman of the head company." Hannah stated.
Miguel looked at his daughter. Although he appreciated her courage and that she was not appealed by the profit, this position was so appealing to so many people. She might regret it someday, Miguel thought. And once it was confirmed that this position could only be held by his elder brother's family, Hannah would never be able to occupy this position in the future. She could only wait until she inherit his position and it was a long-term thing. He would feel sorry for her daughter.
"However," Hannah said suddenly, "Mr chairman also made it clear that my uncle is in prison, and the work content of this position is managed by the CEO. But it takes much time and efforts. And there is no precedent of hiring two external chief executive officers. Besides, Wayne is not qualified enough according to his performance. So I would like to apply for the position, to be exact, for the work but not its title. I don't need the job title."
It meant that she didn't need an appointment from the company and she would do the work of the senior vice chairman of the company while getting paid the present salary. As soon as the words came out, there was still a bit of uproar in the audience. Everyone was stunned by her idea of doing labor free.
"Once the board of directors feel that there is a better person who can take up this position, to put it bluntly, if Wayne can improve his performance, I will give it up."
Such a speech left everyone on the scene speechless. If anyone retorted, they would think he was making trouble on purpose. All of them had to admire Hannah's courage. The younger generations brought the young attitude.
In the quiet meeting room, no one said a word anymore.
Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, Miguel agreed, "Since this is Hannah's decision, if you have no opinion, then we will do as Hannah said. In her current position, she takes over all the duties of the senio vice chairman."
