Joe was shocked. He quickly got up from his chair. "M r. Lancaster, why are you here?”
Joe was a little guilty at the moment. Although he had just defended the reputation of the CEO of the Lancaster Group, he had just told the story of Mr. Lancaster and Mrs. Lancaster.
After all, he didn't get Mr. Lancaster's approval. If Mr. Lancaster found out, he would be very angry.
But Mr. Lancaster wasn't in the group and these employees wouldn't add him in. So Mr. Lancaster wouldn't know, right?
Thinking about it, Joe's fast-beating heart calmed down. He tilted his glasses on his nose bridge and restored the appearance of elite assistance, and one could no longer see the face of him gossiping in the group.
"I have a meeting later and I'll leave Theo to you.” Henry gently pushed Theo towards Joe.
Joe nodded. "I got it. Don't worry, Mr. Lancaster. I'll take good care of the young master."
Henry responded, "Okay.” After a few words with Theo, he left Theo and went to the conference room.
Everyone had basically arrived at the conference room —even Elliot was there.
Henry forced him to come here. Now his face was stern. "Why did you ask me to come?"
Seeing that Elliot was being impolite to Henry, the other shareholders looked at each other but didn't say anything.
After all, it was their family matters.
Henry handed the document in his hand to Elliot." Take a look at this first. This is the top secret that only the CEO of the group knows."
Elliot took the document and looked at him incredulously. "What do you mean?"
Other shareholders wanted to know too.
Henry sat on the chairman's seat, his fierce eyes swept across the crowd, and he said calmly, "From today onwards, Hayden will be the CEO of Lancaster Group while I will serve as the chairman. In the next few months, Hayden will be responsible for all matters in the group."
Since the old man passed away, he held both the positions of chairman and CEO.
However, because others used to address him as the CEO or Mr. Lancaster, only a few outsiders knew that h e was also the chairman. Now that he passed the position to Elliot, his future workload would be lighter.
But Elliot stood up with dissatisfaction. "Henry, what d o you want to do?"
The shareholders said, "Yeah, Mr. Lancaster."
Henry opened his thin lips and said, "As everyone knows, I got married yesterday. Of course, my wife and I will be going on a honeymoon. So after I leave, someone would naturally have to handle all the group affairs. This person is Hayden."
Speaking of this, he looked at Elliot and said," Secondly, he's my brother who holds more than 10% of the company shares. He's the second-largest shareholder of the Lancaster Group, so he's the best fit to be the CEO and I can rest assured of that."
Elliot said angrily, "So this was your plan!”
Henry ignored him and then said a few words before announcing the end of the meeting.
After the meeting ended, he looked at Elliot. "Follow m e."
Elliot had no choice but to follow him to the CEO's office.
At this time, the CEO’s office was empty. Everything else that belonged to Henry was removed except for the books on the shelves.
Henry tapped on the desk. "This office will be yours from now on.”
Elliot pursed his lips. "What about you?"
Henry pointed upstairs. "The chairman's office is upstairs. It used to belong to Grandpa and I haven't used it since he retired. Now that you're here, I have to move up."
Elliot snorted and asked, "How long will your honeymoon with Yvonne be until you're back?"
Henry said with a faint smile in his eyes, "I'm not sure. It depends on where she wants to go and how long she wants to go. I'll accompany her for as long as she wants."
His life had been limited to his future and freedom ever since he was born. Every time he went out, he either learned all kinds of elite knowledge or attended banquets to talk about business. He never went out to relax.
Now that he had this opportunity, he also wanted to rest and to know what it was like to travel.
