After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 447 New to Phillips Bank

Chapter 447 New to Phillips Bank

Susan had her breakfast with satisfaction. Then her secretary gave her a pile of financial data. Susan was a little breakdown when seeing so many files. "What the hell is that?" she thought.

"Mr Chairman said that if you know little about finance, you should read more. And I'll be with you for consulting, Ms Phillips." The secretory said with respect. "I major in it."

Susan was speechless for the mess on her first day working. After all, her schedule was having some coffee and playing video games. So she answered, unwillingly. But she didn't refuse and grabbed a copy to read.

"Why are they all numbers? What the hell." she thought.

At about 10 am, Susan was requested to a high-level meeting. She was sick of meetings for they always ended inconclusively but dragged on interminably.

She went to the boardroom reluctantly and sat in a corner according to her position. The inner circle sat the important executives and shareholders of the company. And Edward sat right in the middle. Edward said when everyone was there, "The emergency meeting today is not for something big."

'Then don't have one.'Susan thought.

"Mainly, it's the division of responsibilities and new appointments of a company's senior leadership. Phillips Bank had lacked an assistant general manager for a while. I am the chairman and general manager of the company, with a deputy general manager for help. But the deputy general manager can't arrange so many departments. So I appointed another assistant general manager to help."

Everyone in the room listened carefully with no objection. It was true that the company lacked an assistant general manager because the right one never showed up. So it was delayed and did hinder the operation of the company. And the responsibility would be clearer with an assistant general manager.

Everyone knew that Henry would be the assistant general manager. His behaviour won everyone's admiration. And Edward expected a lot from him, especially when he broke up with Susan. Edward treated him better out of guilty. So Henry would win the game by all means.

Henry felt the same way and he had waited for a long time. Edward had told him several times that he would get a promotion someday not only because he did a great job but also because it was compensation for him.

Henry could not help sitting up and waiting to be appointed on the spot. He didn't show the ecstasy inside because he had learned to be calm on any occasion for years. Edward said, "And I've chosen the assistant general manager. He will be..." Though everybody knew it was Henry, they were a little excited before the name was revealed. "Manuel!" The name shocked everyone.

Henry was so astonished that he thought he misheard and maybe Edward just said the wrong name. It was reasonable for him to make a mistake because Edward and Manuel spent a lot of time together. But just when Henry's mind was blank, the door of the boardroom was opened and a man in a suit walked in.

He was on a crutch, and the sound of which hitting the floor was crisp. Although he was limping, his aura was powerful, completely free of the timidity of a newcomer to the workplace, but instead full of confidence.

The court was in an uproar.

Who was Manuel?

How could he just get parachuted into such a high position?

Those who know a little bit about Edward's family knew that Manuel was both his adopted son and his son-in-law. And that gave him a reason for the position. However, it was too sudden to be accepted, especially for Henry, who worked hard for the company and finally got the chance to be promoted. But suddenly, he was replaced.

At that moment, everyone in the room looked at Henry with somehow empathy.

Beaten by his adoptive parents and bullied in an orphanage, Henry couldn't stand people looking at him with pity. He pursed his lips without saying anything.

And Manuel walked up to Edward. Edward stood up, pat Manuel's shoulder, obviously appreciating him, "Manuel, say something."

Manuel nodded and looked at the people in front of him. The glance of him shocked Susan, who had no interest in meetings. But seeing Manuel here, she thought her father had lost his mind. Damn it.

Manuel said calmly, "Hello, everyone. I'm Manuel. I'm 23 years old. Since I am a newcomer here, I have so many things to learn, and any advice will be appreciated. Also, I'd like to know the business ASAP to make some fruits for the company. Thank you." He finished with a bow.

The brief speech expressed his attitude and confidence. Although everyone was in shock, some of them started to applaud with courtesy. Gradually all of them joined in, except for Henry and Susan. Henry didn't want to applaud and Susan didn't know what to do. She was confused by Manuel.

It was a short meeting and ended after the appointment. Manuel left with Edward first without saying a word to Susan. She thought that he did not even glance at her.

Susan stayed when everyone left. So did Henry. He restrained the upset inside and walked up to Susan, "Susan, let's go." Hearing that, Susan came back to her sense, "What's wrong with Manuel? Why he is here?"

"Maybe you should ask your father!" Henry said with a smile. He would not let anyone spy on his disappointment.

"Damn it," Susan said and rushed out of the meeting room. She was going to ask what the hell was her father doing. After she divorced, he hired Manuel in the company. What was that for, disturbing her?
