Trista's pov
"Anyway, the doctor of the group is in the office on the second floor. The doctor can tell at a glance who is real and who is fake! If someone deliberately slows down the meeting process and is found out, they will all be fired! There is no point in begging anyone!" I said slowly.
Several directors looked at each other and could only pretend that everything was fine, one by one
"Since Miss Trista said it, let us keep our focus on business. I just have a weak heart. It should not be a problem to just finish a session. Let us move on!"
"We just had a lot of asthma. I'm much relieved now."
"I just thought I was going to get diarrhea, but I did not expect to have some air in my stomach right now. I go to the bathroom after the meeting. It's not a big deal..."
One by one, they returned to their seats.
"Well, since everyone is fine, let us get down to business." No sooner had I spoken than my eyes fell on Leonard and I intended to make a quick decision. "Mr. Leonard, should you get up and leave? Our meeting cannot be held because of your presence. You have wasted us 20 minutes!"
Leonard's pov
"Trista, do not go too far!" Just now I was very patient, but she embarrassed me in public. I can not take it anymore. "This group has always been led by me. If you want to replace me, first ask the directors present whether they agree or not!"
But instead of being afraid, she said, "Does Mr. Leonard want to take a formal way? Well, let us take a vote on the board and see if you can stay! Start from the left. If you agree with Mr. Leonard staying, please show your stance! If you disagree, please state your reasons!"
Unexpectedly, she dared, and I was so angry that I almost gritted my teeth. "Trista! Your grandfather asked me to take this post before he died. This is how you ruined everything. First, you violated the will, and second, I feel sorry for your grandfather. Did you have any consideration for his old man?"
I did not expect her attitude to be so harsh. "Grandfather's will says the board can not fire you? Under your leadership, Moon Group's annual sales have continued to decline. How can you be sure of your abilities? I think Grandfather in heaven must understand my good intentions!"
I was about to say something, but she directly ignored me, "Let us get started!"
"Mr. Leonard, I am sorry." A director looked at me and said, "Miss Trista is right. You really do not have any earth-shattering achievements to show for the past few years. I think I'd better let Miss Trista try!"
"You..." I was so depressed that I almost vomit blood.
The second director also said, "After the courage Miss Trista just showed, I think she can lead the group better. Mr. Leonard, you are really old enough to retire. Let us leave the affairs of the group to the young people."
This makes me angry! I trained this man up to the position of chairman. I did not expect him to get back at me like this? I was completely out of breath.
The third director looked at me hesitantly.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Are not you going to betray me like they did?"
"I, I..." he said brashly, "I am sorry Mr. Leonard, you really do not have the ability to lead the group well. I think Miss Trista is better."
"You traitor!"
...
After one round of voting, no one dared to side with me!
"You... You..." I had not counted on the fact that, after learning about Trista's power, several directors who usually take special care of her fearfully withdrew one by one, using flattery for the last self-protection!
I was so angry that I stood up, covered my heart with one hand, slapped the table with the other, and angrily said, "What did I do to you then? And this is how you repay me now? Good, good, you are promising. What I have brought out is promising!"
"Please, Mr. Leonard, the gate is over there. Go to the finance department and pick up this month's salary. You can get an additional year-end bonus this year. This is the reward for your hard work and good performance that the corporation will grant you after careful consideration." Trista's voice rang out.
My heart ached with anger. " Now I am no longer the acting president of the group. Are you satisfied? Happy?"
"I think I'll be happier if you are willing to give up your inheritance!"
"You..."
" You are old. It's time to go home and enjoy happiness!"
"You wicked woman!" I can not stay any longer. Slam the door!
Trista's point of view
The meeting room was suddenly deserted. I calmly said, "Mr. Quintion, let us officially begin the meeting."
"Yes..." Quinton wiped the sweat from his brow. "Today's board has three things to discuss. First, we welcome our Miss Trista, who will be taking over the Moon Group. I am convinced that under her leadership, the group will go from strength to strength and shine!"
Pop Pop
Everyone clapped heartily. The applause was louder than just now. I was undecided.
"The second thing Miss Trista just mentioned is that Moon Group's sales are dropping every year, down 2% last quarter. If that continues, I am afraid it's going to be hard to keep the land that the old man left behind... I do not know what your plans are?"
"I think the top priority is to change the sales model and improve the value of the products..."
"Our old products can not attract more customers. I think the most important thing is to develop new styles..."
"If the new product is not outstanding enough or has no advantages like the old product, what is more use? There's not too much in the warehouse, is there?"
"I think we should start from the customers..."
I listened to their comments the whole time. I did not say much, except to state my own point of view when my opinions conflicted, and then set everyone straight.
After some discussion, Mr. Quinton took the floor.
"Then, according to Miss Trista, you should reduce inventory, adopt new ways of promoting sales, introduce equipment, hire executives, and design new styles... And then there's the third question , about our jewelry audience..."
"Do we need to talk about this problem?" Before he finished speaking, I interrupted him, "If you want jewelry to expand its audience, first, you need to increase marketing investment, and second, develop new styles, we should not only follow fashion, but also lead in fashion."
"Now that Miss Trista has presented the plan, we should implement it. Today's meeting is coming to an end. I declare...",
"Wait!" I paused. "Next, I have something to discuss with you. I propose to dismiss Borg, Martin and the directors who just spoke. Please go home and enjoy your retirement."
"Miss Trista, why did you quit us?"
"What did we do wrong?"
"If the proposal we made just now does not fit, we can take it back! Mr. Quote also said do everything the way you mean it..."
"Not about that." I calmly expressed my point, "You were cultivated by Mr. Leonard, but pushed him into the abyss at the crucial moment. As your supervisor, I am concerned that the mistakes will be repeated."
"This is the only reason you have to veto our efforts over the past few years. Is that unreasonable?" argued Borg.
"Of course, it's not just that! At the end of March, you concealed the Group's actual sales and created false data to create panic; Martin secretly asked the purchasing department to buy raw materials from his circle of acquaintances, which resulted in the prices of purchased materials being more than twice as high as elsewhere and the Group suffering heavy losses... You directors all made the biggest mistake!"
"Miss Trista!..." some directors wanted to plead, and I interrupted them directly.
"Let us decide your future or your whereabouts according to the vote just now!"
After a vote, everyone voted to leave.
"In this case, I will not stay, so I will follow the board's proposal. Please!" I raised my hand to indicate the position of the gate.
They sighed heavily and walked away decadently.
