My Second Husband novel Chapter 434

On the top floor of the Valiant East, the board meeting had started at 8 a.m.

Bethany led Steven into the meeting room confidently and sat down in their corresponding seats.

Bethany provided a summary of the company's performance and its overall financial situation of the quarter at the beginning of the board meeting. None of these statistics were good.

It was evident that she had planned this for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have been confident the moment she stepped into the meeting.

She looked amiable and suggested that Steven explain the drop in financial revenue and progress.

She had made a deal with Steven in advance, in which the latter would give up the position on his own.

Steven nodded and then stood up.

"Thank you very much for attending the meeting. I just took over the company last quarter and I have not done a good job of developing the company. I'm indeed at fault for all these. Hence, I'll apologize to everyone here right now."

The directors didn't seem to have any reaction, hence Steven went out with his explanation.

Bethany, on the other hand, seemed satisfied. She smiled as she looked at Steven. "Young man, it's understandable that you didn't do well in the beginning!"

She was waiting for Steven to take the opportunity to give up his position in his next sentence. That way, she could also improve her image in front of the board of directors.

At this moment, Steven nodded instead.

"Thank you for your approval, Aunt Bethany. Although I didn't do well in the first quarter, I believe that I will get better in the future. I hope that I could get support from all of you."

Bethany's face darkened immediately. How dared this son of a b*tch actually dared to say something like that at this moment?

However, she had to keep up with her affable facade, so it wasn't convenient for her to snap back at him now.

She cast a glance at her nephew, Andrew, who seemed to have gotten the hint immediately.

"President Granger, I'm afraid that that is difficult for us to do! You did so badly in the last quarter. Besides, half of the financial year has already passed. If things were to go on like this, will all of us end up living on air with you in the next half of the year? Well, you and your family will not be starved, but we shareholders still have a family to raise. We simply couldn't afford to take such a risk!"

Bethany had roped in those shareholders, and all of them echoed their assent.

"Yes! President Granger, we simply wouldn't dare to place our trust in you any longer!" Steven looked at the crowd coldly, unhurried.

After they were done talking, Steven finally spoke, "I know that my previous performance has been worrying, hence I assure you that I am not talking nonsense this time. I've just gotten a big break, and I'm going to sign the contract with the company later this afternoon. It has been confirmed!"

Andrew scoffed, "What kind of big project would you be able to secure that could possibly make up for our losses from the last quarter? President Granger, are you lying to us?"

Steven snorted, "Of course not! I'm sure all of you know about the TAG Group, right? We have already negotiated with the person in charge of TAG Group. Our group will be responsible for the renovation and construction of their resort town in the country!"

Everyone immediately burst into an uproar.

"Is that true?"

"They've never done a project in this city before, right? Why so sudden?"

"That's hard to say! Have someone check it out quickly!"

There was a stir in the meeting room, and soon, someone had gotten the answer to that question.

"It's true. The TAG Group is really going to build a resort town here later this year. It will be located on the mountain behind Rosaville City."

"President Granger, I didn't expect you to be such an exemplary young man to be able to get such a project!"

"President Granger, we believe in you. You will definitely lead us to improve our overall performance this year."

They were all on Bethany's side in the beginning, but in less than two minutes, they'd all turned their backs on her. Steven looked at the crowd with a brilliant smile on his face, "Thank you, everyone. I will definitely not let you down."
