Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 782

At the Hunt Corporation.

When Nora arrived in her car, there were already a lot of people in the company.

Most of the shareholders had also come. Everyone was very concerned about how she would give an explanation to the media and everyone else today.

When Nora entered the CEO's office on the top floor, the secretaries, who all had feelings for the Hunt Corporation, were chatting with one another in low voices.

"She says that she will give everyone an explanation today, but I really don't know what kind of explanation she's going to give. It will be the year-end closing in two days, and the company's annual turnover data will be calculated then. If gold prices still don't recover by today, I'm afraid it'll be hard to say which way the Hunt Corporation will go this year."

"Sigh, I have a friend working in the Smith Corporation. They have already calculated their turnover for this year and it has increased by a lot compared to last year's. This year, under Mr. Hunt's lead, we have invested a lot in research and development, especially in the fields of biomedicine and microchip research. Those 1.5 billion dollars are never coming back. Once you compare them like this... Is the Hunt Corporation really going to be dethroned?"

"Actually, we have all seen the annual data reports. The Hunt Corporation barely manages to take first place each year. It seems that our profits exceed the Smith

Corporation's by only tens of millions every year. With such a small gap, any money-making project can get things done... When you think of it that way, our victories really come too difficultly..."

"Don't you know? This is actually all part of Mr. Hunt's plans. Only when the turnover is only tens of millions of dollars higher and at risk of being surpassed will we have the motivation to work harder. Otherwise, if the gap is too big, we will end up monopolizing the market... Also, if the difference is just tens of millions of dollars, then the Smith Corporation will also be motivated to catch up with us. But because of this, it's really hard to say which way it'll go this year..."

"Yeah, it's all Ms. Smith's fault. If she had disposed of the gold futures in time on the day of the board meeting, we wouldn't be losing this much money. If we compare carefully, our profits are actually just a few million dollars less than the Smith Corporation! If she had disposed of them at that time, the loss would have been reduced by 15 million dollars, and our position as number one this year would also have been in the bag."

"So, this shows that some people's hearts are just not in here!"

Celine suddenly remarked coldly.

It was now the end of December. The figures for the year's annual turnover had been calculated and released at the end of the day before. There were only a few days left to the end of the month. After that, they would add the profits from these few days to the previous data. Once that was done, the results would be out very soon.

The profits from several major projects had all been included, and it was impossible for there to be any large sums of income during the next few days.

It could be said that the results were already fixed.

Had it been the day before, Celine would still have placed a bit of trust in Nora, but now that she had seen the statistical results, she had lost all trust in her.

She suddenly stood up and said, "We are only a few million dollars short of the Smith Corporation's profits this year. If the difference was big, I wouldn't have been suspicious of Ms. Smith, but now, I have no choice but to doubt her. I think she did this deliberately. Besides, the amount of money lost is not that much for them either..."

Someone whispered, "But Ms. Smith is now the Hunts' daughter-in-law, why would she help the Smiths? It's not like she's the head of the Smiths..."

Celine glanced over frostily. Even when the usually-gentle woman got angry, her voice merely shook a little. She was utterly livid. "Because... she will be the head of the Smiths very soon!"

"What?"

Everyone was puzzled. "How come? It has already been decided long ago that Joel Smith is the head of the Smiths. Besides, he also holds 51% of the shares. Is your information reliable or not?"

Celine was furious. Even her eyes had turned a little red, and she was shaking in anger all over.

"Of course. She forced Lawrence to resign just so she could abuse her authority and pull all these dirty tricks. If Lawrence was still here, and if Mr. Hunt was still here... The gold futures would have been sold long ago.

How would it have come to this?’"

She suddenly bit her lip and said, "We must unite as one and protect the Hunt Corporation together now!"

The Hunt Corporation had undergone several major bouts of cleansing. With the exception of Roger, everyone who was still in the company was loyal to the Hunt Corporation.

Therefore, when they saw the data report the day before, they had panicked.

They had always been proud to be part of the Hunt Corporation. Additionally, when Justin was still around, he had treated them all very well.

Thus, all of them had always regarded the company as their home.

As Celine was the deputy manager of the secretarial department, she only had a little less authority than him. Besides, all of them could tell that Celine and Lawrence's relationship was a little ambiguous.

As soon as she said that, everyone responded to her call.

"Yes, we can't let her destroy the Hunt Corporation. We must unite as one! Let's boycott Ms. Smith and oppose her coming into the office!"
