Chapter 63

The meeting room was dead silent for a

full minute.

Micah Zielinski’s face was red and did

not expect that Nicole would turn the gun

on them. He said, “It’s not…”

Nicole interrupted him without a care. “I

believe that you’ve all received notice this

morning that I’m managing everything in

the company in Mr. Stanton’s absence.

I’m in charge of this project, so from now

on, if you don’t want to be a part of it,

hand me your letter of resignation

immediately. Your positions will be

replaced by your deputies. I will explain

everything to Mr. Stanton.”

The people in the room were shocked

and silenced. They had all stepped overeach other to climb to their department

head positions and their deputies were

eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after

position, so no one dared to act rashly at

this moment

Although they could not stand the fact

that Nicole had parachuted into her Vice

President position, they could all tell how

much Grant Stanton supported her since

the first day she arrived. They knew that

they could not afford to offend Nicole.

They all began to regret getting incited by

Micah Zielinski to pull Nicole off her high

horse.

The air in the conference room was cold

and suffocating. No one dared to make a

sound. Micah Zielinski also felt that he

had lost the momentum as no one dared t

o make things difficult for Nicole at this

time.

“Planning Department, can you come up with the proposal by today?” The Head of the Planning

Department, Don Smith, was named and raised his head sharply. “Yes, Vice President Nicole. The

Planning Department will come up with the best plan in the fastest time possible immediately after this

meeting. We certainly won’t delay the project’s progress.” Those who had climbed to these positions

were all old-timers who were shrewd and adaptable. Since Nicole gave them a chance, they would take

it. Otherwise, it would be their loss. Nicole nodded in satisfaction and looked at the others. Her voice

was not as stern anymore. “What about the other departments?” “We’ll research it immediately. We

won’t let the company down!” “Yes, same here.” “Of course, we’ve been prepared for this a long time

ago. We’ll do a good job!” Everyone’s declaration of support instantly eased the atmosphere in the

meeting room. Nicole did not look so ice- cold anymore and resumed her gentle temperament as they

continued the discussion

They were in fact all well prepared for the

meeting. After all, they were all capable

and sensible enough to manage their

respective departments in such a large

corporation

Micah Zielinski and Samantha Lindt, who had been deliberately neglected, sat on the side with glum

faces. Nicole did not care about them because their days in the company were numbered anyway

Towards the end of the meeting, Nicole saw that it was almost time and said,” Although the core

research team is from J &L Corporation, we must also be prepared. I’ve previously discussed this with

Mr. Lichman. Even though we won’t b e involved in the development of the core technology, he has

agreed for us to send over two researchers to participate in the later development. We’ll provide two of

our best-performing and reliable staff, so let’s start looking for suitable candidates. HR should pay more

attention to this as well.”

a Nicole was very satisfied with today’s meeting. At the end of the meeting,

everyone wanted to stay and talk to her

for a few minutes to build a closer

relationship. Nicole responded to every

one of them and smiled warmly, so much

so that she seemed like a completely

different person from her stern and cold

persona earlier.

Logan hurriedly came over and whispered

in her ear. “Vice President Nicole, the

Chairman of Ferguson Corporation is

here.”

Nicole raised an eyebrow. ‘That’s quick…

Turns out Old Master Ferguson is more

fretful than I imagined…’

After all, Old Master Ferguson was the

Chairman of Ferguson Corporation, so

Nicole could not ignore him out of

respect for their company’s relations.

Nicole nodded and left the conference

room.

“Is he waiting in the guest lounge?” Nicole

asked.

Logan shook his head. “He went straight t

o your office.”

Nicole was slightly surprised, but she

knew that Old Master Ferguson only

came for the emerald pipe that was now

with her.

She lowered her head and laughed, then

pushed the door in. However, she did not

expect Ingrid Ferguson to be sitting next t

o Old Master Ferguson.

“Rude! How can you come in without

knocking first?” Old Master Ferguson sat

upright on the sofa and looked at the

woman at the door with a cold face.

‘Is he trying to undermine me? I’ve just

gone through this sh*t in the meeting and

have to bear with this again?’

“Chairman Ferguson, I never knock when

I come into my office.”
