Brenda was anxious but helpless. She could only tell her people on Facebook to support Nora more.
At the same time.
In the conference room of Hunt Corporation.
The room was already in chaos. Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.
Howard sighed. “Everyone, calm down. I just called home. Our family said that Sister-in-law has indeed just left. She can’t be here before an hour.”
When he said this, everyone instantly became even more furious. “Then why was she lying just now? She said that she would be here in half an hour… Heh, when she arrives at the company, it’ll already be past 11. It’ll be lunchtime!”
“How could she forget about the meeting? She’s too much!”
“If she really likes to sleep, then she can just sleep at home. Why is she coming here to the company? Is she here to make trouble? Can she lead our Hunt Corporation forward with just her looks? I really doubt it now!”
“Let’s go! Why are we waiting here?”
These people were all very rich and had their own tempers.
In the past, when Justin was around, he could still suppress them. But now, how could a group of old foxes tolerate a little one like Nora?
Everyone stood up and was about to leave when Hunts’ third uncle said, “Everyone agreed just now to wait for Miss Smith for another half an hour. There are only twenty minutes left. Why don’t we wait and try?”
Then, he looked at Howard. “You said you called home, but why didn’t I receive any news? Don’t tell me you’re talking nonsense and slandering Nora!”
As soon as he said this, Howard immediately cried out in grievance. “Uncle, you can’t say that about me! How could I possibly slander my own Sister-in-law? If you don’t believe me, give our family a call!”
Brenda’s father, the third son of the Hunts, continued, “I won’t call. I won’t pry into the chairman’s whereabouts. This is very rude. I’ll only wait here. When the time comes, if she still hasn’t come, she’ll give us an explanation!”
When Howard heard this, he instantly waved his hand and suppressed the crowd. “Alright, since Third Uncle has said so, then uncles, please give me face and stay! We’ll just quietly wait for Nora to come over!”
Everyone was a little dissatisfied with Howard’s act.
However, no one spoke much.
After all, after the company had been through a few baptisms, the people left behind now were either middlemen, people who had never fought as a team, or Justin’s own people.
Although Justin had passed away, the company had not collapsed!
When Howard saw this situation, he blinked at the person behind him. That was his personal secretary. She did not work in Hunt Corporation, so she had not been cleaned up by Justin back then.
At this moment, the secretary said, “Everyone, we’re certain that Miss Smith has just left the house. She definitely won’t be able to reach on time. Since that’s the case, why don’t we discuss if Miss Smith is suitable and if she has the ability to be the chairman?”
Everyone fell silent.
Although everyone was very dissatisfied with Nora being late, they respected Justin very much.
However, what the secretary said next made everyone waver.
The secretary sighed. “We’re all doing this for the good of Hunt Corporation and President Hunt. Besides, Miss Smith is only acting as the temporary chairman. Her future position belongs to Peter Hunt! If Miss Smith is so reckless and can even be late for a meeting, then will you hand Hunt Corporation’s future to her?”
Her words hit the nail on the head.
In fact, when Justin suddenly passed away, everyone was a little flustered. Over the years, Justin had covered the sky with one hand in the company.
Occasionally, when everyone had different opinions, they would earn money as long as they listened to Justin.
It did not matter if they lost money.
As long as they were sincere about the company, Justin would lose his own money to keep them profitable.
He had this kind of magic power to make people submit to him sincerely!
But now, was Hunt Corporation really going to be managed by a woman who only knew how to sleep?
Everyone began to think.
Third Uncle frowned and scolded, “Is the board of directors’ meeting something a secretary like you can enter as you please? Besides, Justin has only been gone for a few days, and you’re already teaming up to bully his widow?!”
His tone was very heavy as he spoke.
Everyone’s faces heated up.
At this moment, Howard stood out. “Uncle, the company is not a family business. All family businesses face destruction. This is what Justin said when he was still alive, so he never let anyone favor relatives! This is also why everyone admires him! But now, are you being biased and protecting Nora? Are you really not going to care about the company’s future?”
Third Uncle sneered. “The future of Hunt Corporation lies with Pete… Peter Hunt! Over the past ten years, our rise has been too fast. Now is the time to calm down and fight steadily! In another fifteen years, when the company is handed to Peter Hunt, it will be a new beginning!”
Howard sighed. “You want us to stay in the same spot for 15 years? Uncle, you can, but can the directors here do that? Business is like sailing against the current. If we don’t advance, we’ll retreat. Is a million dollars from ten years ago the same as a million dollars ten years later? It’s different! The property will depreciate! We can only maintain our current status by constantly improving. Uncle, I know you’re thinking for Justin, but I think, if he was still around, do you think he would hire an employee who’s casually late to lead us?!” Third Uncle mumbled, “Isn’t she just half an hour late?”
“She can’t reach in half an hour. Besides, she’s lying! She clearly just left…”
Howard scolded her. He was about to say something when the door was suddenly pushed open. Nora strode in!
