Chapter 794

At Smith Corporation.

After sending Tanya back home, Joel went to the Smith Corporation.

As soon as he entered the top floor, his special assistant approached him. “President Smith, this is your itinerary for today.”

Joel nodded. After taking the itinerary, he casually glanced at it and suddenly stopped in his tracks. He turned to look at his executive assistant, Mindy. She was a capable woman. She wore her hair neatly slicked back behind her head and wore a black suit. Her eyes were very serious.

Joel lowered his head and said, “We have a meeting.”

When Mindy heard this, she was stunned.

The meeting Joel was talking about was not a normal meeting, but a private one with a few people. However, he had an important meeting at ten o’clock. She was about to object, but when she met Joel’s eyes, which were always smiling but now firm, she could only lower her head. “Yes!”

Two minutes later, Mindy and eight thirty-something senior executives appeared in the President’s office.

Joel was standing in front of the French window, his back to them.

The Smith Corporation was a sixty-story building. Standing there, it looked like you could see all of New York. This was the most impressive thing about the Smith Corporation and the Hunt Corporation.

They were at the top and everyone else seemed to be crawling at their feet.

The crowded human life below was as small as an ant in his eyes.

He watched for a while and turned to look at the people standing respectfully in front of him. They were all the people who had fought with him in the company after Ian turned the company over to him.

Joel still remembered that when he took over the company back then, the elders of the company were very indignant with Ian and had secretly put many obstacles in his way because he was too young.

It was thanks to this group of people who had stood by him in those dark days that he won over those old fogeys.

Arguably, it was even harder for Joel than it was for Justin to become the true successor because he was not Ian’s biological son. He was not the rightful heir.

There were many people under Ian who knew his true identity…. They were even more unhappy with him.

Therefore, Joel relied heavily on his subordinates. Over the years, the Smith Corporation had been improving under his leadership.

He sat down on the couch next to her. The smile on his face disappeared and he became serious.

Those people looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Mindy said, “President Smith, did you call us to tell us something?”

Joel nodded. “Yes. Last night, the guy signed a stock transfer agreement with me. Now, 51% of the company’s stock is mine.”

These words were meant to reassure everyone.

However, the nine did not speak. They kept looking at Joel as if waiting for him to say something. Joel was silent for a moment before saying, “I have rejected that account.”

This sentence caused the nine to frown.

“President Smith, that account is the most important account, how can you not want it?”

“Yes, President Smith. You should know that that secret account is the basis for the Smiths’ continued rise.”

“President Smith, although we don’t know what that account is, we all know that many projects in the past were only completed because we got information from that account. Without that account, how could we get that precious information in the future?”

“Chairman Smith, that account is the foundation of the Smith Corporation. Fifty-one percent of the stock is not as important as that account. You…”

The people present voiced their opinions one after another. They were all of the opinion that Joel should keep that account. Without the account, even if he got 51% of the company’s stock, he would still be controlled by others in the future.

Mindy said indignantly, “I knew it. Why would Former President Smith give him 51% of the shares so easily? After all this, he left his account to his own daughter. From now on, President Smith, it will always be under your control! No matter how well the Smith Corporation does in the future, you will still be hers! You have done a lot for the company, but in the end, you will only be helping her! Former President Smith is really calculating.”

Mindy’s words made it hard for the others to calm down.

They all said, “Yes, President Smith, you are letting us down. President Smith, we cannot let this matter go. Tell me, what should we do now, can we get the account back?”

“President Smith, say so. As long as you give the order, we won’t hesitate to do anything, Even if it means skimming the edge of the law!”

Looking at these people, Joel sighed quietly. “Don’t you understand what I just said?”

Then they paused.

Joel said word for word, “What I’m saying is that I refused that bill. Dad gave me his account but I insisted on leaving it to Nora. There’s no need to discuss this any further.”

Mindy instantly bit her lip. “President Smith, you are too naïve, Elder Master probably gave you his account a long time ago! When Miss Smith said the price of gold would go up, it really did. Where did you get your information?”
