The shareholders were all stunned by Sebastian's yelling.
They did not want to risk provoking Sebastian as well, unless it was absolutely necessary. Besides, they had already discussed it beforehand. As long as the Valiant East Group recovered, their shares would rise too!
Nick, who was the head of this group of shareholders, spoke out to defuse the situation, "Let's not get too hasty, everyone. It's easy for internal conflicts to happen if we start panicking. Our main focus was originally to build up this company; if we were to start arguing with each other, wouldn't things get ugly? That wouldn't be good!"
After Nick finished speaking, the rest of them started echoing in agreement too.
"Yes, yes! We had gotten too anxious! The company is indeed currently not looking too well now, but it's not as if it has hit rock bottom. It's just a transitional period between different generations of employees now, so some difficulties are inevitable. It's fine!"
"That's right! All is well; we're all confident that President Granger can get through this!" After a whole round of flattery, Sebastian's rage went down slightly.
He and the shareholders shared a complementary relationship, so he was not that stupid to directly provoke them. He had been too angry just now.
Now that someone had come out to smooth things over, Sebastian went with the flow to get out of the awkward situation.
"That was my bad. I made everyone worry."
"It's okay, no worries at all! As long as the company is doing fine, we will be fine!"
Sebastian furrowed his brows as he responded, "Don't worry. Since I have the ability to take over the company, naturally I have the confidence to manage it well. Give me three days' time, then I'll give all of you a proper response!"
Only then did the crowd leave.
Once they were gone, Sebastian furiously smashed the ashtray.
"Eudora George, I've really underestimated you!"
He turned around and looked at Harper, "Contact Eudora, and tell her I'd like to invite her for a meal!"
Up in the mountains.
When Eudora woke up in the morning, she saw Tina busily doing woodwork at the door. There was a lot of wood right next to her.
"What are you doing?" Eudora asked curiously.
Tina wiped the sweat off her face.
She answered in a crisp voice, "Making a swing set! Eudora, you're awake? Breakfast is already done. My cooking skills still aren't that great yet, so I made something easy. Just have a simple meal! I'll learn how to cook from you next time, is that okay?"
Seeing her so full of energy, Eudora smiled and nodded.
"Sounds good!"
As she was speaking, Tina picked up another piece of wood. Christopher stretched out his hand to help, but Tina stopped him.
"Don't move, didn't you agree to me taking care of you? Besides, your wound hasn't recovered yet! I can assemble this swing set myself!"
Eudora asked with sudden realization, "You wanted a swing?"
Tina pursed her lips, "No, it's for Christopher!"
Confusion was written all over Eudora's face.
Christopher, who was standing beside Tina, nodded, with a doting smile on his face. His gaze was fixed on her the entire time.
Eudora immediately understood, and stopped saying anything.
Their way of getting along with each other was pretty nice too!
When she entered the kitchen, the table had been laid out with plain congee, two dishes of preserved vegetables, and a somewhat yellowish plain steamed bun.
Although the meal did not look very appetizing, it was definitely much better than Tina's previous attempt when the kitchen had been burnt down.
Eudora grinned, and ate with the two kids until they were full. They then went out of the house.
The swing set was already assembled. With excitement and anticipation evident in her eyes, Tina went over to Christopher and suggested, "Why don't you try it out? Do you like it?"
Christopher went up and sat on it, "It's excellent."
