The Valiant East office had always been upward and lively. However, it was gloomy and depressing at the moment.
Such emotions enveloped everyone in the office.
Several shareholders looked at Nick with concern and said, "You have the most shares among us, so you have the most rights here. What do you think we should do?"
Nick's expression did not change, "That woman. We've already visited her at her house, but she had still turned a blind eye! She's so rude!"
The rest of the shareholders also chimed in, "That's right! She's just a widow with two children. What's there to be proud of?"
"She wants to go plead her multiple times, eh? That's impossible!"
"Let's see who can last longer."
The older men were discussing among themselves indignantly.
"However, It's possible that she doesn't have any feelings for Valiant East. Our assets are all in there. If the company continues on like
this, we'll lose all our assets and stocks!"
This sentence immediately pulled everyone, who had righteous looks on their faces just now, back from their dreams.
"What do you think we should do?" Everyone looked at the person who had raised the concern.
"In my opinion, she won't leave Valiant East Group behind! Not to mention, she has two children. Besides, wasn't it on the news? The relationship between Amos and her was extremely good. She will not be able to watch the Valiant East go down like this! If we are sincere enough, maybe she might come back?"
"Sincere? Aren't we being sincere enough? We've even tried personally visiting her!"
"We went to her because we wanted her help. Be honest. Who here actually respects her? Who here sincerely wants her help?"
Everyone kept quiet!
Nick snorted angrily and said, "She's only a woman. What else does she want? Yes, we're asking her for help. What about it? Does she want an entourage to follow her around?"
"However, anyone can see that you all will turn your backs on her after she's done helping out!"
"So what? Do you really want us to regard her as the president of this company? A woman wants to boss us around? That's impossible!"
"Yes, that's impossible!"
Everyone looked at each other, refusing to give in.
Finally, the young man who had spoken up stopped talking. "Forget what I've just said! Honestly, as long as she's capable, what's the difference between having a man or a woman to lead us? Do you really want to see your wealth shrinking?"
No one spoke up after that!
Upon seeing that, the young man took his leave.
After he had left, everyone looked at Nick and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Nick's expression changed again, "What if she refuses to help out even if we plead her to?"
"It's hard to say. Maybe she'll be more willing to if we show a little more sincerity?"
"Why don't we just abandon the conditions stated by Sebastian before this? Truthfully, if the performance of Valiant East goes up again, it won't be a huge difference."
Everyone grew silent again!
"So...Do we really want her to lead us? Are we willing to sincerely listen to her orders in the future?"
Everyone looked at Nick and said, "Can you do that? She is just a woman..."
Nick was so angry that he was about to explode, "Why are you looking at me? I'm not the only one who dislikes the fact that she's a woman! Besides, we don't know if she can achieve any actual results. How do you expect me to respect her? That'd be impossible!"
"We didn't mean that. What we mean is that we should give her compliments first and then ask her for help. By the time the company is doing better, we'll decide if we want her to lead us."
"In your dreams! She's incredibly smart. If she really were willing to do so, she wouldn't be dragging us on until now!"
"Then, we should be more sincere and agree to her request. In the future...If it doesn't work out, we will oppose her."
Everyone immediately nodded, "That's a good idea..."
Nick frowned and said, "Don't you think it's a little despicable?"
