The CEO’s Pet Cat

Chapter 199: Very protective of shortcomings



“I object, even if this is the company’s compliance, we should be looking forward for the sake of the company, we have a different purpose at each stage, and obviously Mr. Leng’s purpose is no longer fit for purpose now, we need to have foresight, you are being conservative by saying that.” A director with white hair and slicked back spoke up, this person was no other than Bruce’s mouthy father-in-law who Mia had met in America.

“Right, Miss Luo, there’s an old Chinese saying ‘when times change, things change’, it wouldn’t be right if you just keep to the old ways, would it? In case this hinders the company’s development, how would you let Old Man Leng’s wishes be fulfilled?” Bruce caterwauled.

Mia looked at the two villains in tandem with an angry face, really wondering what else they had to be happy and proud of.

“This is not true of Mr. Green and Mr. George, you know, our company needs to be steady, how can we forget our footsteps for a moment’s profit and be aggressive, we are going to suffer greatly.”

At this point another American director spoke up to argue the point, and Bruce and his father-in-law looked very blue and white for a while.

This director was right, it was indeed not because the company’s policy was too conservative, but because the Shengshi Group simply did not have the capital that could be used to make a desperate bet, and if it rushed forward, the company would probably come crashing down on this, and it would be more than worth the loss then.

“I think what Mr. White said is very correct, to know that Mr. White’s concern is exactly what Mr. Leng is worried about, our company does need to move forward, but now is really not the right time. The financial crisis has just happened from the United States, and if we invest rashly, then we are only afraid that it will all turn into a bubble by then.”

Mia seriously analyzed what was at stake, which was really something everyone of them present didn’t want.

“You’re kidding, right? Times are great right now, and if we don’t invest before other companies do, then we’re going to fall behind, and that’s a big loss for our company!”

“That’s the thing, Mr. Jackson is right, we can’t afford to let anyone miss out on the immediate benefits if we just do that! Don’t think that because you’re Mr. Leng’s granddaughter, we’ll show mercy, that’s absolutely impossible!”

Bruce’s advocates did not give up any meaningful opportunity to move down Mia, to know, as long as Mia fell, it is difficult to Leng Tianming will have no legal heir, a president who can not be accepted by the board of directors, how can convince others?

As long as it was Mia who fell, then he, Bruce, was the shareholder who owned the most shares in Centurion, then in that case, he, Bruce, would be in the leading position.

“The way I see it, Mr. Green’s words are not wrong at all, only then can we become the industry leader after breaking through the big barrier that others can’t break through.” Director Zhang of the China branch of the Centurion Group was also speaking up in support of Bruce.

As the number of people supporting Bruce grew, the directors throughout the meeting began to sway their opinions and began to flock to Bruce’s group.

“You all need to think about the current state of our company, if we rashly invest and sell land the risk is not worth the loss!”

Mia watched anxiously as the people around her, one by one, threw themselves into Bruce’s trap, thinking it was for the good of the company, when in fact it was Bruce and his team who had been manipulating the industry bubble! All they wanted was to get the Centurion Group and then sell off the other divisions, leaving only the US headquarters alone.

“Is that so? I think it’s you who wants to hog the Shengshi Group and not let go of it, right? Say, are you trying to sell the Shengshi Group!”

Bruce was very happy to see these directors being fooled by themselves, and his anger followed suit, roaring towards Mia.

A roar from Bruce caused all eyes around the room to shift to Mia alone, and by the looks of it, they were already convinced of Bruce’s words, convinced that Mia was a liar and a fraud who wanted to sell their company.

“Say!”

“Speak up!”

“Say something instead, don’t you dare?”

The atmosphere in the meeting room was getting off, and there was no one else in Mia’s camp except for Namgung Ask and Mr. White, who had been on Mia’s side.

Just as the noise was deafening, the doors to the venue burst open and Asher came striding in, “According to me, no! It’s not Mr. Winn who wants to sell the company, it’s Bruce, GreenBruce!”

Asher’s words sent a shock through the room, who the hell was this person that dared to disrupt the venue? But more than that, they wanted to know if the man was right. So the directors’ eyes wandered between Mia and Bruce.

“Well, if you say so, it’s always better to show proof, too.” Mr. Jackson was the first to speak up and ask for evidence.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Jackson Tom originally thought Asher’s appearance was nothing more than a jumped-up clown, how could he have known that Asher was the one who was emboldened, and in turn, startled him into thinking he was wrong.

“Since I, Jun someone, am here, then naturally I will not brag here. Please look, everyone, I am holding a CD in my hand, a CD that I got some days ago, please take a look at it.”

Asher hands the CD in his hand to Claude behind him, who in turn stops the cart in his hand and inserts the CD into the computer to the side.

Just a moment after Asher handed over the CD, Mia realized that Grandpa Jun was actually at the meeting at the moment, looking at the directors, who had fallen with the wind, with an angry face and a blowing beard.

Mia was touched in her heart, there were actually people who were doing this for themselves at this time, what a virtue she was.

“Then we’ll sell you our shares at a fifty percent profit, and as long as you can make Mia disappear forever, I’ll transfer ten percent of Centurion to you at a fifty percent discount, so you’ll be a shareholder in Centurion.”

Such a figure, such a face, is clearly the same Bruce who is screaming at Mia at this very moment! People are amazed at Bruce’s unscrupulousness in the film on the one hand, and Mia’s stoic understanding on the other.

Asher looked at the dumbfounded directors in front of him with satisfaction, smiled and then said, “And that’s not all.”

Immediately after, another video follows.

Bruce is shown making a pact with a man to sell the China regional group of the Centurion Group to the Dingyou Group, which has been competing with the Centurion Group, as long as Bruce takes the presidency.

The news was shocking enough, explosive enough, and enough to keep the people in the room from accepting Bruce!

This is when Grandpa Jun spoke up: “Who said that our Mia was misbehaving and was going to sell the company? No matter how you look at it, our Mia is the victim here! With my old man here, you can’t accuse our Mia for no reason!”

Mia listened to Grandpa Jun’s touching words and mumbled silently, “Grandpa …”

When all the directors understood the various reasons, and stopped believing in Bruce, who was full of benevolence and morality, it turned out that it was still Mia who had been for the company all along!

The presence of Asher and Grandpa Jun certainly shifted the venue dramatically, and things immediately turned in Mia’s favour, while Bruce and his gang were scorned by the directors for wanting to sell the company, so naturally it ended up with a big win for Mia.

Bruce was not only scorned by the directors, but he lost his former position as a major shareholder when Asher bought out his 10% stake.

Things have come to a happy ending here.

Two days later in the Jun mansion, a handsome man man and a beautiful woman, are sitting in the living room and the woman is peeling oranges for the man to eat.

“Asher, tell me, why did you suddenly show up at the board meeting? It’s a secret that no one else knows about, right?” Mia had been confused about Asher’s appearance ever since the board meeting ended, so Mia couldn’t help but ask.

Asher had guessed that Mia was bound to speak up, so he smiled a fake smile and didn’t explain.

“You do say something, you’re making people anxious like this, okay?” Mia rebelled against Asher’s noncommittal attitude, and with a small pout, she dropped the orange in her hand on the table.

Asher, on the other hand, sighed in resignation because his patent of being treated so special by the smaller woman had been instantly taken away from him.

“Because, now you are no longer the president of the Centurion Group, and the person in front of you, your dear husband, me, is.” Asher announced his identity with a proud look on his face before he proudly swept the small woman beside him up in his arms.

“What do you mean by that?” Mia’s big eyes fluttered as she looked at Asher on the side, what kind of reasoning was this, she was grandpa’s own granddaughter, why should grandpa put herself below Asher? Did grandpa not love himself anymore?

“It means I’m letting you meet someone very important today.” Asher rested his chin on Mia’s shoulder and smiled gently.

Asher thought to himself, “This little woman is still so interesting, I really wonder how many lifetimes he will be lucky enough to have a long relationship with such a little thing?

“Someone important? Who?” It was better if Mia didn’t ask, but when she did, she was confused by Asher’s clueless explanation, as if she was now an irrelevant outsider and Asher was the central figure in the matter.

“Oh, don’t be impatient”, Asher said lovingly as he reached out his long fingers and pinched Mia’s little nose, “Guess it’s about time.”

“How can you not be in a hurry? Even if you don’t tell people anything, now you have to meet some mysterious person, they don’t want it!”
