Chapter 221 Aurora’s Speech
At that moment, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Aurora. Aurora could sense curiosity and contempt in those gazes. The news about the Bennet Group had long been spread out. Now, no matter how confident Aurora looked, no one believed that she could solve the actual problem. This was also one of the reasons why Saul let Aurora attend this meeting.
Seeing that most of the people in the conference room had changed their minds, Saul flicked the buttons on his suit cuff and said, “The Swon Group is now the most suitable company to take over this project. Ms. Bennet, you know the relationship between the Swón Group and the Buchanna Group, right?” Aurora didn’t say anything.
Saul continued, “The daughter of the Swon Group is about to marry into the Buchanna family. Mr. Buchanna has always been good to his woman. How can
Mr. Buchanna let an outsider take over such a good project?” Saul’s words somehow made sense. It sounded like Aurora had been pestering Zac shamelessly. Saul’s words caused a round of sniggers.
Although Zac was sitting in this room, there were still people whispering. Even if the others did not say anything, Aurora could still sense their thoughts through their eyes.
In their eyes, Aurora was just a broke girl who didn’t have self-esteem. They thought Aurora must have used her body to make Zac give this project to the Bennet Group. Aurora tightened her grip on the contract. On the way here, Aurora had thought that these things would happen.
But when Aurora really encountered these things, she still felt angry and embarrassed. When Zac saw Aurora’s expression, he frowned. Just as Zac was about to speak, a man walked… “Mr. Vernon!”
The managers all stood up and greeted Vernon. Vernon was usually very gentle. But now, he put on a straight face and snapped, “We are talking about business in a conference room. Why do you have to criticize other people’s private lives?” Everyone lowered their heads, and the conference room regained its silence.
Then, Vernon pulled out a chair and sat down next to Aurora. He said, “Every company will encounter difficulties at a certain time. Didn’t Ms. Bennet say that she was here to solve the problem? Why are you still so aggressive? The decision
was made bye Buchanna Group. Thus, the Buchanna Group should take this responsibility.”
Vernon was the only one who could say these words in this circumstance. It sounded like Vernon’s words met Saul’s thoughts, but Saul then frowned and felt that something was wrong.
“As long as the Bennet Group has the confidence and attitude to solve the problem, the Buchanna Group will have no right to terminate the contract,” Vernon said firmly. Aurora didn’t run away with the money, nor did she refuse to solve the problem. Aurora’s attitude was also positive.
As long as there was a solution, the cooperation should continue. At that instant, Aurora felt that the burden on her shoulders had become heavier, but she was full of energy now. “Mr. Vernon, thank you for your understanding.” Vernon nodded and said, “I think you came prepared. Go on. I also want to hear how you are going to solve it. Anyway, the project must continue.”
“OK, can I borrow your laptop?” Aurora
looked at Carter. After receiving the signal from Zac, Carter immediately stepped forward and handed the laptop to Aurora. Aurora inserted the USB into the laptop and began to explain her plan.
Aurora was not good at doing project planning, but she graduated from the College of Design. Thus, it only took her a very short time to make a beautiful PowerPoint. No one could comment on the content
of Aurora’s PowerPoint for now. But they thought the general content was refreshing.
“This project has already started. According to the contract requirements, what the Bennet Group needs to do in the eighth, ninth, and eleventh terms…” The responsibility of the Bennet Group was stated in detail. Aurora gave out a solution to each of them.
From publicity to the continuous promotion of the project, the Bennet Group would fulfill its obligations according to the contract requirements. But Aurora chose a smart shortcut to avoid falling into the trap in this contract.
Aurora chose not to get the year-end dividends, and the Bennet Group would not add any investment to the project. This contract was thoroughly studied by Aurora.
Zac looked at Aurora’s profile reflected on the screen, and the coldness between his eyebrows slowly dissipated. He raised his hand and whispered a few words into
Carter’s ear. Carter immediately went out and conveyed the order. In fact, Zac would do this no matter whether Aurora came or not.
Zac would hire a group of people to invest in the project in the name of the Bennet Group. The amount of investment the Bennet Group needed would also be paid by Zac privately.
But Aurora’s appearance changed the situation. Aurora’s adaptability and sense of crisis surprised Zac. Before this, Zac never thought Aurora’s ability to resist pressure was so strong.
After Aurora finished her wonderful speech, she sighed in relief secretly. Looking at the managers present, Aurora said calmly, “This is the solution. If you have any questions, we can discuss them together,” A few managers looked at each other and didn’t know what to say.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Aurora’s ideas were very novel, and there was even one aspect of the problem that they had never thought of. The most important thing was that the responsibility of the Bennet Group had been fully fulfilled perfectly.
“That’s all I need to say. Thank you for listening.” Aurora lowered her head and began to put the documents in front of her in order. She did not dare to look up at Zac opposite her.
Aurora was afraid that if she said something wrong, Zac might refute all her proposals with one sentence. This was the result of Aurora’s efforts for several days and nights. Aurora pursed her lips, and her movements became slower and slower.
Finally, Zac opened his mouth and said coldly, “Ms. Bennet, please go to my office. The meeting of the Buchanna Group has to continue. Don’t waste any more time.” “Ms. Bennet, please come with me.” Carter immediately went forward and took Aurora out.
Aurora followed Carter. When she was about to step out of the room, she turned her eyes and glanced at Zac. But Vernon happened to sit over, so Aurora did not see Zac’s face. After Carter closed the door, Aurora felt the cold air in the corridor.
“He thought that I spoke too much nonsense and wasted time just now, right?” Aurora quickly walked a few steps and caught up to Carter. Carter didn’t dare to guess what Zac was thinking. He only replied, “Mr. Buchanna still has other things to discuss with the managers in this meeting.”
“Oh…” Aurora was a little upset, thinking that Zac must think her thoughts were too childish. Carter pushed open the door of Zac’s office.
“Ms. Bennet, please wait inside.” Under normal circumstances, Zac would not allow anyone to wait alone in his office. But Aurora was an exception. Carter was respectful to Aurora. Carter was Zac’s assistant.
Thus, Carter knew how special Aurora was to Zac. Zac asked Carter to bring Aurora here because Zac wanted to protect her. Zac didn’t want those managers to gossip behind her back.
Even Vernon had received the news and went to the conference room. It meant the news of Aurora’s arrival had already spread all over the company. Carter poured a cup of coffee for Aurora. Then, he immediately went to find out who brought Aurora in.
The security had been strengthened since Aurora sneaked into the Buchanna Group last time. It meant that someone must have done something to let Aurora appear in the conference room on purpose
