Jeffery looked at Danielle coldly.
“Are you questioning my decision?”
Facing Jeffery’s gaze, Danielle felt indignant and humiliated. She wanted to retort, but she still held back her anger.
Before Jeffery came into the Mcconnell Group, no one dared to reprimand her in the company like this.
“Mr. Walter, I think it is too hasty to decide the position of design director so easily,” Rey said discontentedly, “Dayanara was just a clerk in the marketing department, and she didn’t have any experience in design.”
“The jewelry design team is related to the development of product and is an important part of the Group’s industrial chain,” Rey said, “Dayanara is not qualified to be the design director. She had no relevant experience. I’m afraid that employees of the company will not be convinced towards your decision.”
Jeffery smiled.
“Do you think I’m asking for your opinion?” Jeffery looked at Rey and said, “Dayanara has passed my examination. I think she is qualified for the design director.”
“Vice President Collins, if you think that my decision was wrong, you can raise an objection at the board meeting and call the members of the board to vote. I also want to know your influence in the board,” Jeffery said directly and coldly.
Rey was extremely dissatisfied as he heard Jeffery’s words. He forcefully controlled his anger.
Rey was the dignified young master of the Collinses, and the future successor of the Collinses in Auton. He had never been despised like this.
Maybe people of the Mcconnells were afraid of Jeffery, but he might not.
If it were Mr. Cameron, the president of the Camerons of Manley, he would definitely be respectful. But Jeffery was just Tommy’s secretary, so Rey was able to fight with him.
Moreover, his main business was things of the Collinses. Even if he lost all the shares of Mcconnell Group and was abandoned by the board of directors, it would only be a little loss.
Rey thought.
“Mr. Walter, of course, my doubts are for the sake of the development of the group. I have no intention of going against you,” Rey said indifferently. Although he did not refute it directly, he also showed that he was not afraid of Jeffery.
Jeffery sneered and said slowly, “It’s fine if you have any objections. Coincidentally, I’ll announce another important matter.”
“I’ve decided that the focus of the company will be the development of new jewelry styles. We will also solicit a large number of manuscripts about jewelry. And now, the World King, designed by Dayanara, has become our major project. This precious project will also be under the sole responsibility of Dayanara, the newly promoted director of jewelry design.”
“In addition, there will be a jewelry exhibition in half a month to release the latest jewelries. During this period, anyone in our group can develop new jewelry projects and compete with each other. The one who get the first prize in the exhibition will be the official design director of our company,” Jeffery said seriously.
“So…” Jeffery looked at Danielle and her husband with a faint smile. “If you are dissatisfied with my decision, prove you’re right with your works.”
“A project that is worth millions upon millions?”
“Really? Is it appropriate to assign such an important project to a rookie like Dayanara?”
“She is the acting design director of the company now…”
Jeffery’s words caused a sensation. The management present were all surprised and whispered to each other.
They were jealous that Dayanara could get such an important project, but didn’t dare to question Mr. Walter like Rey.
“A jewelry exhibition?” Danielle’s expression changed slightly as she looked at Rey.
“Mr. Walter, I have no disagreement. However, the design director you count on may not be qualified for the job,” Rey said.
Danielle said confidently, “Mr. Walter, I will also develop a new jewelry project and design works to participate in this exhibition. In the jewelry exhibition, you will know I’m the best jewelry designer in the company.”
Jeffery smiled but didn’t say anything. He said indifferently, “Everyone goes back to work now.”
Then, he turned around and returned to his office.
Dayanara clenched her fists secretly. She thought that now that Mr. Walter had given them this opportunity, then she must seize this opportunity. She must not lose to Danielle.
“Well, Dayanara, Mr. Walter cannot help you achieve everything,” Danielle sneered and said, “When the time comes, you will lose badly and everyone will make fun of you. I will let you know how a best designer should be.”
“You’re just an acting design director. It’s not up to you to manage the design department,” Danielle said coldly. She was very confident in herself.
Dayanara had never worked in jewelry design, so how could she compare to Danielle?
“I definitely won’t lose to you,” Dayanara said firmly.
“Then let’s see in the exhibition,” Danielle sneered.
Rey sneered and said, “There’s no need to argue with them. They know nothing. They haven’t even seen any precious jewelry. They even want to design a jewelry worth millions upon millions? What a joke.”
Rey stared at Alberto coldly and threatened, “Besides, Alberto, how dare you ignore what I said back then? I will teach you a lesson that you will never forget!”
Alberto ignored Rey and left with Dayanara.
“Bold!” Rey looked at Alberto’s back coldly.
On the corridor, Alberto looked at Dayanara and comforted, “Don’t worry. You just need to focus on your work.”
Dayanara nodded seriously. They got off the elevator together and left the Baoding Building.
…
Dayanara’s home.
Dayanara’s parents had already known the news on the phone. Apart from being overjoyed, Lillian had personally cooked a lot of dishes.
“Today, my daughter was promoted to the design director of the group, and she was also in charge of a jewelry project. We have to celebrate.” At the dining table, Lillian said happily and opened a bottle of red wine.
“Right now, I’m just the acting design director. I can’t get this position until I get the first prize in the Group Exhibition,” Dayanara said seriously.
“Acting design director? With Mr. Walter’s appreciation, are you afraid that Danielle will surpass you? We’re proud of you this time. Well, as the Chief Designer of the Group, Danielle is still a subordinate of you,” Lillian said happily.
Cedric was also very happy. He said seriously, “Dayanara, it seems that the newly promoted Mr. Walter doesn’t value seniority. He promotes those capable people. This is a great opportunity. You have to grasp this opportunity and complete the work. We have no influence, so you have to keep a low profile in the future.”
“I know.” Dayanara nodded.
“However, I heard that Alberto, you’ve offended someone in the company. Rey said that he is going to teach you a lesson.” Lillian frowned and looked at Alberto discontentedly, “You’re not capable. You always make trouble. Dayanara shouldn’t have taken you to the company!”
“Dayanara, I heard you asked Alberto to be your assistant. Isn’t this nonsense?” Lillian said unhappily. “He knows nothing. He always makes trouble. Listen, go back to the company. Alberto definitely can’t be your assistant.”
“Mom, Alberto also helped me a lot this time,” Dayanara said, “Don’t worry about my work.”
“Alright, then let it be,” Lillian frowned and agreed. She looked at Alberto discontentedly, “Alberto, don’t cause any more trouble for our family. Follow Dayanara in the company and don’t make trouble for her. Otherwise, I’ll punish you!”
At this time, Cedric touched his pocket and said, “Alberto, go to buy some cigarettes for me.”
Alberto nodded and went downstairs.
In the past two years, he had gotten used to Lillian’s complaint. So he didn’t care.
He bought two packs of cigarettes at the shop, and Alberto was about to go home.
A black Toyota Prado suddenly stopped him.
“Are you Alberto?”
“That’s right. You’re the loser. We’ve been told to take you away.”
Suddenly, two men got off the car and looked at Alberto with wry expressions.
