Overflowing Hidden Feelings: This CEO Is Hard to Please!
Chapter 220 - 220 Outsmart oneself 4

Chapter 220: Outsmart oneself 4 Chapter 220: Outsmart oneself 4 Victoria Garcia’s aggressive and arrogant attitude naturally annoyed the shareholders. Of course, some shareholders couldn’t bear it anymore.

“Victoria, you’re young, but you don’t know how to respect others. Your words and actions are too harsh. Even if you’ve completed the task we assigned to you, you shouldn’t have this kind of attitude. Because of your attitude, none of the shareholders want you to be the Deputy CEO,” said a Director.

“So, from the shareholders’ point of view, my attitude should be to silently accept the lack of acknowledgement of the promise made before completing the task and continue to watch as you treat me like air?” Victoria shot an icy look at one of the shareholders, “Is that right, Chairman Nelson?”

Confronted with such cold gaze, Chairman Nelson couldn’t help but shiver. However, as a seasoned veteran in the business world, he wasn’t going to be intimidated by a young girl.

“Whether it is true or not, that’s what you think. We never thought that way, nor have we said we’d break our promise,” said Chairman Nelson.

Before he could finish, Victoria took over, “If that’s the case, I’ll ask Chairman Nelson now, should the promise be announced to everyone after this board meeting?”

Caught off guard, Chairman Nelson was momentarily speechless.

Another Director quickly reacted, “We were planning to issue your promotion notice, but your performance just now shows your immaturity. The company’s Deputy CEO position requires a responsible, mature, and courageous person. Obviously, you’re not suitable.”

“Yes, that’s what we were thinking.”

Immediately, there was a chorus of agreement from the shareholders.

Whether they change their attitude or not, Victoria is the target of everyone’s arrows. All shareholders are repulsed by her, and it is obviously due to Terry Garcia’s efforts over the years.

Just as Victoria was preparing for her next round of counterattack, a shareholder spoke up.

“The Deputy CEO position is important, and it does require someone with courage. Based on what I just saw, I think Victoria is quite suitable.” The words came from Chairman Brown, “Knowing what she wants, daring to fight for what she deserves, and completing her tasks with determination. This promise is worth fulfilling. We’re all adults, are we really going to bully a young girl who’s completed her task?”

After that, Chairman Brown laughed heartily.

The shareholders present were considering the situation. They didn’t expect anyone to support Victoria at this meeting, especially not Chairman Brown.

What was really going on here? Was there something fishy about it?

Victoria watched everyone’s changing expressions, and her heart finally relaxed. It seemed that she had won this battle.

Sure enough, after a while, Terry Garcia summarised a bunch of points, saying that Human Resources would soon issue a promotion notice for her.

Terry Garcia naturally had his own considerations. Since he couldn’t prevent her from becoming Deputy CEO, he’ll let her take the position. Being the president, he could easily sideline a Deputy CEO, especially one without a strong foundation within the company. He didn’t believe she could rise above him.

At the moment, what he wanted to do most was to ask Clara Brown what was going on and how things got out of control like this.

As soon as the meeting ended, Terry Garcia rushed back to his office, closed the door, and called Clara Brown.
