"They're my substitutes." Joe introduced them as he pushed up his glasses.
Elliot just remembered Henry had just released Joe.
So those people were all Henry's assistants. When those people could completely take over Joe's work, Henry would choose the one who was the best among them to become his personal assistant who'd follow him around. The others would be assigned to other important positions.
"I see." Elliot nodded to indicate that he understood. "S o you're teaching them their work now?"
"Yes." Joe nodded.
Elliot stood up. "Okay, you can teach them later. Henry’s looking for you so you should go."
"Okay," Joe responded.
Elliot raised his foot and went out.
After he left, Joe looked at the people in front of him." You guys wait for me here. I'll be back in a while."
"Yes." The assistants nodded.
Although Mandy nodded too, her mind was not there. Her mind had wandered off to the chairman's office with Joe.
In the chairman's office, Joe pushed the door in.
Chairman Lancaster, I heard you were looking for me." Henry said, "How's the assistant recruitment going?" "I found five candidates, four men and one woman. Their experiences and resumes are very good," Joe walked to Henry and replied respectfully.
Henry rubbed his temples. "Good, train them as soon a s possible."
"I will." Joe nodded.
Henry opened the drawer and took out two contracts from it. He pushed the contracts towards Joe. "The one above is the share transfer letter. You can check if there are any problems. If not, just sign it."
"Yes!" Joe pulled out the chair excitedly and sat down. He then opened the contract on top to go through it.
Henry pointed to the contract underneath it and said," This is the information regarding all the subsidiaries o f the Lancaster Group. You're my executive assistant s o I'll give you the choice. You can go to any subsidiary you want."
When Joe heard this, he was deeply moved in his heart. "But Chairman, most of these subsidiaries already have presidents."
"It doesn't matter, it's alright," Henry crossed his fingers and rested his hand on his stomach as he replied casually.
Joe was so touched he almost cried. "Chairman Lancaster, thank you."
Henry could not help but smile. "Well, take these with you and have a look at them. You can give it to me when you’ve made your decision."
"Yes," Joe immediately straightened his back and responded.
Henry waved his hand.
He got up and left.
Joe returned to the office next door and put the two documents on the table.
Mandy glanced at him and asked casually, "Mr.
Woods, why did the chairman ask to see you?"
Joe frowned and looked at her, dissatisfied. "You're still an intern assistant now. Don’t ask about things you shouldn't be asking!"
"Sorry, I'm just curious." Mandy stuck out her tongue.
Joe retracted his gaze and said sharply, "Remember what I just said-it doesn't matter if you're an intern assistant or an official assistant. If the chairman or the president wanted to see any one of you, all the others shouldn't ask about it. Even if you asked, don't talk about it, understand?"
"We understand." Other than Mandy, the other four assistants quickly nodded and agreed.
They were all from prestigious universities, so they knew it was common sense.
Although they were all assistants, there was still competition among them. They would be stupid if they told their opponents about it.
"Okay, since you guys understand, let's continue the briefing." After Joe said that, he started teaching them again.
A few days later, those assistants were almost ready t o start working officially.
Therefore, Joe was going to take them to meet Henry.
Mandy was the most excited when she heard about this news.
She had been in the Lancaster Group for several days and on the first day, after she had seen Henry's back, she had never seen him again.
However, she did meet Hayden several times.
"Chairman Lancaster!" Joe pushed open the door of the chairman's office. "I brought a few assistants to come see you."
"Come in." Henry was reviewing some documents and when he heard what Joe said, he replied without looking up.
