A loss of 20 million dollars!
Although Albert was rich, 20 million dollars was not a small sum. It still made his heart tremble.
After Lily said this, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something. However, she seemed to be a little afraid.
âSecretary Lily, you donât have to worry about anything. If you have anything to say, just say it. The chairman is here. No one will make things difficult for you, but you can only say the truth,â said Philip.
âThe chairman likes frank people. However, you have to tell the truth. You canât make it up,â Ethan added.
Secretary Lily didnât dare to say it yet. She just looked at Albert timidly, waiting for Albertâs approval.
âSpeak, Albert said calmly.
After Lily has gotten her approval, she finally relaxed. She seemed to be relieved and said, âOur company has been busy. Recently, in order to hold a board meeting, we have been doing various financial summaries and data summaries.â
âHowever, after Mr. Jaber passed away, Ms. Labenz was listless about everything. Not long ago, Deity Pharmaceutical Group wanted to collaborate with our company on a big project.â
âHowever, Ms. Labenz was immersed in sadness and rejected them directly. She even called the people from Deity Pharmaceutical Group to get lost and not bother herâ
âAndâ¦
Lily said a lot in one breath. In summary, she said that Reign had failed during the critical moment and caused the company to lose millions of dollars.
The more she spoke, the darker Albertâs expression became.
âAlright, stop talking!â Philip chided hypocritically, signaling Secretary Lily to stop talking.
âLet her speak!â Albert said in a deep voice âDad, Rei is usually very outstanding at work. This time, itâs mainly because she is affected by such a big incident that she lost her composure,â Philip explained.
âThatâs right, Grandpa. Rei has always been outstanding in managing the company. Even I canât compare to her. The person who died this time might have a deep relationship with her, which is why sheâs like this,â Ethan said.
The father and son were both hypocritical. Their words were filled with excuses for Reign.
This was a method of retreating in order to advance.
They were hypocritical because they wanted to give Mr. Labenz a good image. They wanted to express that they were only focused on the company and did not want to seize power or anything else.
Albert immediately caught the key information. âYou mean, Rei and the dead Haylan have an extraordinary relationship?â
âYes, as far as I know, Mr. Jaber saved Ms. Labenzâs life several times. During this period of time, Ms. Labenz is seen being together with Mr. Jaber frequently.â Secretary Lily said.
âAre you saying that Ms. Labenz has fallen in love with Mr. Jaber for a long time?â Philip asked.
Secretary Lily shook her head and said, âIâm not sure either. However, when I was cleaning Ms.
Labenzâs office previously found Mr. Jaberâs photos in Ms. Labenzâs drawer.â
Albert, Philip, and Ethan looked at each other.
âDad, looks like Rei is really moved. No wonder she lost her composure like this,â Philip said.
Ethan let out a long sigh and said, âOh, Rei has had such an unfortunate life. Her mother passed away early, her father went missing, and her younger brother is suffering from a serious illness. She is all alone, without any support or companionship.â
âIt wasnât easy for her to fall in love with a man, and that man was poisoned to death by his subordinates. My heart aches for her.
After saying this, he pretended to be very concerned as he looked at Reign in the room.
Albert frowned slightly and said, âIn that case, let her calm down first. Philip, organize your people inmediately and report the companyâs situation to me.â
With that, he walked towards Philipâs office.
Philip was overjoyed.
The chairman had always listened to CEOâs financial report and the companyâs summary for nearly a year. Now that Albert had asked him to report, it was obvious that he treated him as CEO.
He quickly gathered his men and asked the finance department to bring all ledger over.
âDad, are you sure?â Ethan whispered.
Financial statements were usually only available to the CEO.
Philip was only the vice president. How could he prepare such a thing?
âDonât worry. Your father is a strategist. He always has a plan in mind. How can he not have a plan?â Philip smiled.
Next, he closed the door and curtains of his office and took our a projector. He projected all kinds of reports on his computer on the wall and explained to Albert the companyâs various operations, profits, and losses in recent years.
During the report, he was fair and just. He acknowledged his achievements when they were his own, and he recognized Reignâs contributions as her own, never seeking to take credit for othersâ
accomplishments.
This was because he knew his father well. He knew that Albert hated people who took othersâ credit for their own.
Therefore, when he reported, he did it fairly.
Albert looked at the report and listened attentively. He nodded repeatedly.
âPhilip, you and Rei have done well all these years,â
After Philip successfully presented his report, he looked up at him and pondered for a moment before asking, âSo, which direction should the company focus on for future development?â
Philipâs expression brightened, and he replied, âWe should delve deeper into the pharmaceutical market, pursue horizontal expansion, and diversify the company. While maintaining our presence in the pharmaceutical market and exploring new opportunities within it, we should actively pursue further possibilities.â
âSuch as?â
âFor example, movies, investments, finance, and so on.â
âItâs a good idea.â
Albert nodded and said, âRei suffered a huge blow. She shouldnât be able to adjust in a short period of time. I plan to give her some time to rest,â
âHow about this? Youâll host and report to the shareholdersâ meeting tomorrow.â
âWill that be all right?â
âNo problem, no problem at all. Philip hurriedly said. He was overjoyed.
âAlright, then get ready to host the meeting tomorrow. Remember the most important thing. You must get an invitation to participate in the King-Conferring Ceremony. I still have something on, so Iâll leave firstâ
Albert put down the report in his hand and stood up to leave.
After Albert left, Ethan was overjoyed. He laughed and said, âDad, congratulations. After tomorrow, you might be the companyâs CEO.â
âDonât be so loud. The dust hasnât settled yet.â Philip chuckled.
âReign no longer has a strong helper like Haylan. Now, sheâs immersed in sorrow. Many of her people have already been bribed by you and taken advantage of by you. What can she use to fight you!â
Ethan smiled and said, âWhen she was in her most difficult time, we took advantage of the situation.
I believe that able to snatch power from Reign tomorrow.â
you will be Thinking of this, he was extremely excited.
If Philip became CEO, he would be the Labenz familyâs next heir After the death of Albert, the entire Labenz family would be his.
âWe will talk about it tomorrow.â
Philip watched as Albert left. His expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, âMr. Labenz also said that the most important thing is to obtain an invitation to the King-Conferring Ceremony.
This is not an easy matter?â
