Leaning on Master Wright’s shoulder like before, she could not hold back her choked sobs: “I will try to keep Joe, the company crisis is clueless, and I will never give up … but you are not here, I am really scared …”
After a long time of complaining, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated, she wiped away her tears, and after seeing the name on the screen, she took a deep breath and answered.
“Why are you so early today?” She deliberately changed her tone of voice to cover up her discomfort.
On the other side of the phone, Alex Brown heard her slightly raspy voice and guessed that she had just cried and frowned.
But since she didn’t want to be noticed, he played dumb: “I just saw the news on the Internet that this happened, and I guess you must be embarrassed by the board of directors, so I came to send comfort.”
Since that day, Alex Brown has been checking in with Emma Rosy every night, but they are both busy during the day, so they have never been in touch.
Although she couldn’t even see him in person, Emma Rosy was pleased enough to say “comfort” from his mouth, and pretended to be heartless and joked, “Actually, it’s fun to fight with those old men in the boardroom, but of course, I don’t know how it will end. ”
Thinking of the unknown future, Emma Rosy shrugged, her voice gradually lowered.
Alex Brown curled his lips and smiled, and said softly, “Just be normal, keep working together, and in the short term the profits will be back on track, and even more.”
Realizing that he had accidentally said too much, he hastened to silence, but Emma Rosy noticed something strange.
“Why are you so sure about how Wright Group’s partners are doing?”
“I’m just … guessing from experience.” He cleared his throat, fearing that Emma Rosy would continue to ask questions, and said, “Anyway, just trust me. I’ve got a meeting in ten minutes, so I’ll stop talking and call you back tonight.”
A phone call that somehow started and ended for no reason, Emma Rosy tilted her head and grumbled at Master Wright.
“Grandpa, what do you mean by Alex? He’s gotten stranger and stranger lately, hasn’t he? Forget it, I’ll believe him anyway.”
Glancing at the time on her phone, Hope was almost out of school. She helped Master Wright tuck in, and she stood up and waved goodbye.
A night passed, last night the foreign partner officially signed with TIEN, this morning the news spread back home, Wright Group stock immediately started to fall in a fault line, the secretary was crying on the phone, the assistant was also beside herself reminding that this kind of thing happened, the board members must be pressuring again.
The situation was so urgent that Emma had to give up her time with her daughter and rush back to the company.
As expected, Emma Rosy had just returned to the company and had not had time to analyze the stock market in detail before the three seniors of the board of directors came to ask for their fault.
“But overnight, the stock fell by five percentage points, that is hundreds of millions of dollars, as the person in charge, you actually still sit still?
“About this matter, you must give an explanation and solution, I suggest, immediately convene a board meeting!”
Emma Rosy was amused and helpless, really wanted to ask which eye they saw her inaction? What other company has a board meeting every day and thinks it’s just a game? Or are they afraid that the outside world will not know that Wright Group is in trouble and they have to make a big announcement?
“The March deadline has not yet arrived, so just wait and see.”
Emma Rosy did not bother to deal with them, a perfunctory sentence and then ready to hand over to the secretary to deal with, but who knows they refused to leave, look like the momentum, as if they will not rest until the results are satisfactory.
“It’s doubtful that you can run the company well in the future with such an attitude.” The oldest director looked at Emma Rosy and suddenly spoke quietly: “Instead of letting the company be destroyed in your hands, you should get rid of it as soon as possible while there is still room for redemption.”
Get rid of it?
Emma Rosy looked at him incredulously, but found that the other two were both in agreement, obviously having communicated in advance.
No wonder they were so impatient to put pressure on her, they were actually thinking of selling Wright Group, it was hard to tell if they were smart or stupid.
In that case, Emma Rosy simply did not bother with words and promised in a cold voice: “The deadline is three months, if I do not complete the bet by then, you can do whatever you want!”
In a quiet and elegant cafe downtown, Ivy Smith was having a good conversation with her two partners and had basically finalized the continuation of the collaboration for the next season, when she caught the man who had been watching her not far away and smiled and got up to apologize.
“Excuse me, I’m going to the bathroom.”
After casually touching up her makeup in the restroom and walking out as if nothing had happened, someone was indeed waiting around the corner.
“Oh! Ms. Smith, I didn’t expect to meet you here as well.” The man pretended to be surprised, then smiled kindly and extended his hand.
Ivy Smith matched the surprise and smiled after shaking hands, “Mr. Brown is also here to talk business?”
Dick Brown, in terms of seniority, is Alex Brown’ uncle, They have only met a few times before, mostly at company meetings and family dinner parties, so a few words of conversation, but also all polite words.
See Ivy Smith frequently look in the direction of the hall, seems to have the meaning of goodbye, Dick Brown finally can not be tensed, as if unintentionally asked: “Ms. Smith recently rest is not good? Oh, don’t get me wrong, I just see that you have a little green under your eyes, although it is a very small blemish, but in the face of a delicate woman, it is inevitably regrettable.”
Ivy Smith shyly lowered her head and tapped her fingertips on her cheek.
“Mr. Brown is really good at making girls happy, it’s nothing really, just busy working overtime.”
“So?” Dick Brown frowned in displeasure, and secretly blamed Alex Brown: “Girls should be loved, and overtime is something that can be done by subordinates.”
Ivy Smith pursed her lips and sighed softly, “Look at you, I am the subordinate.”
Dick Brown’ brow knitted tighter and his tone became almost a scolding: “You’re still his fiancée!”
Ivy Smith was touched by the words, the smile of bravado can not hang.
The first time he saw this, Dick Brown was pleased, but his face eased up and he explained in a gentle voice: “Oh, don’t think too much about it, I’m just not used to Alex treating you lightly. Just like last time the board advised him to marry you, he actually refused with fierce words, really irresponsible, no responsibility!”
“Alex, he … probably has his own considerations …,” Ivy Smith said aggressively, wiping away the non-existent tears at the corners of her eyes.
Dick Brown thought his ploy was successful and was only happy, not even noticing the anomaly.
“Ms. Smith seems to be very busy today, may I have the pleasure of learning your contact information, we will talk some other time?”
“This …” Ivy Smith hesitated for a moment, took out her business card and handed it over, but her words showed some reluctance: “Well, if there is a chance to cooperate, we will talk again.”
She looks smart and shrewd, but she is a timid and fearful woman, so it will be easier to manipulate!
Dick Brown reaped the unexpected, smugly turned away, and Ivy Smith then walked back to the bathroom and dialed Alex Brown’ phone.
“The mission was a success, you have to buy me a big dinner tonight!” Looking in the mirror, Ivy Smith was happy to see that her skin was white and smooth, with no bruises at all.
Alex Brown, however, is not as relaxed as she is, worryingly admonishing: “Dick Brown’ style is completely different from Fiona Brown’, so don’t take it lightly, but the most important thing is to keep yourself safe first.”
Ivy Smith rolled her eyes in disgust, “Oh, I know, you’ve said the same thing more than ten times! I’ve decided not to have dinner with you, or my ears will get calloused.”
She was about to hang up the phone when Alex Brown’ voice came over the receiver: “LESDONE restaurant, unlimited budget.”
“That’s better!”
The next day.
Brown Group, regular morning meeting.
At the meeting, Alex Brown was making an analysis of the company’s recent predicament when a group of board members suddenly barged into the meeting room uninvited.
The young director, who had always defied Alex Brown, was the first to apply pressure, slamming the company’s operating data, financial books, and stock float records onto the table: “The company has been full of loopholes recently, why don’t you report it to the board of directors and how long do you plan to hide it?
Someone led the way, and one by one the rest of the group fired at Alex Brown.
“Ever since you went and returned, Brown Group has not had a moment of peace. Putting the company’s decision-making power in the hands of someone like you will only ruin the company!”
“I propose that Alex Brown be removed from his position as president!”
Alex Brown’ face became more and more ugly, and finally he shot up and shouted: “I am solving the company’s problems, hundreds of people are working overtime without sleep, can’t you see that? Even if I am responsible for negligence in creating today’s situation, but you will only sit firmly in your offices and never give any effective advice, who is qualified to blame me?!”
The board of directors’ accountability, Alex Brown admitted it or not, but at least he should have corrected his attitude, and his angry look at this moment only made the atmosphere more tense.
Dick Brown, standing in the crowd, spoke quietly: “If I remember correctly, the board of directors suggested that Mr. Brown and his fiancée to get married as soon as possible, so as to restore the company’s reputation, but Mr. Brown arbitrary, closed-minded, simply refused to adopt.”
Alex Brown seemed to be so angry that he lost his mind and shouted angrily: “The immediate crisis is only temporary, one month, give me one month, I guarantee that the company’s stock will recover 10 percentage points, and the project revenue will increase by more than 10%! If I fail to do so, I will leave the company automatically!”
Ten percent of the stock and project revenue, a conservative estimate of tens of billions of dollars, according to the current situation, just one month, the company out of the crisis is already a blessing, or even create revenue?
It was simply impossible to complete.
The directors confirmed that he would fail, so they didn’t mind waiting for another month and finally left satisfied.
Alex Brown stood in front of the table in a fury and suddenly kicked over the chair beside him and ordered in a stern voice: “Eric Chan, go and investigate who disclosed the information, and when you find out, you don’t need to report to me, just fire him!
The Brown Group is in crisis again, the board of directors has been exerting pressure one after another, the president Alex Brown has set an impossible order to keep his position, and the family is watching the fire from the other side.
The news has been reported by various media outlets and the Internet has been abuzz with discussion.
After not hearing from Alex Brown since two days ago, Emma Rosy was so worried that she couldn’t even concentrate at work.
Charles Taylor, who was looking at the documents next to her, hastily pulled her back and reminded her with a frown: “It’s already extremely unprofessional to be distracted during work, are you going to leave in the middle of it?”
“Sorry, I think … I’d like to talk at another time.”
Unfortunately for Emma Rosy, Joe Wright returned from the bathroom before she did, and immediately guessed her intentions, glanced at Charles Taylor behind her, and advised in a quiet voice: “Don’t worry about it, Alex Brown is very sophisticated.”
When they spoke earlier, Alex Brown did reveal that something big was going to happen in the near future, and repeatedly told her not to worry and be afraid no matter what happened.
But that said, now that he’s on the verge of being cornered, how can she be okay with it?
“I’ll just go and see him, it won’t take long …”
“Emma!” Joe Wright clutched Emma Rosy’s shoulders and pushed her back into the sofa: “The authorities are confused, but the observer is clear, think about it, why Alex Brown refused to see you before? Yes, it is to avoid suspicion. The current situation is urgent, and your inadvertent action may ruin his big event, do you understand?”
Emma Rosy’s eyes widened instantly and she seemed to understand something.
Calm and clear-headed, Emma Rosy slapped her forehead hard and took a deep breath, “Sorry, let’s get back to business.”
The Brown Group is apparently dealing with a crisis, but in reality there is a dark tide, the Wright Group and Taylor Group seem to be developing smoothly, but behind the scenes they also have their own difficulties, but now the most difficult situation is none other than Marisa Miller.
After being tracked by Abbott Hawk’s men for days, Marisa Darcyhad nowhere to hide, so she fled to Candy Hall’s house on a dark and windy night, and finally stayed there after being persuaded by Candy Hall.
Unfortunately, within a few days, her original bad appearance was revealed.
“Hey, what time is it and you still haven’t cooked, you want to starve me to death?”
The sun was shining outside, but the small apartment was still cramped and dark. Marisa Darcycame out of the bedroom with slippers and saw Candy Hall washing dishes in the kitchen.
The expression on her face became even more impatient: “Potatoes and cabbage again, you’re feeding me like a rabbit!”
Candy Hall’s belly was getting bigger and it was already very inconvenient for her to do these things, so when she was scolded by Marisa Miller, she became more and more indignant.
However, due to the threat of violence, she did not dare to speak back, so she could only grit her teeth and endure.
Seeing that she did not say anything, Marisa Darcybecame angry and took a few steps to slap her on the back of the head, cursing: “Are you a dead man? I said no to this, you hear me? Go out and buy meat, dessert and wine, and so on.”
Candy Hall laughed, then responded honestly: “I can’t afford to buy those things because I don’t have any money at home.”
When she ran away from the Wright Family, she had some money and jewelry with her, but they were her life money, not to mention that she had a child to raise in the future, so she couldn’t let Marisa Darcysquander it all.
At that, Marisa Darcywas furious and kicked her again: “You don’t have money, you don’t want me to starve to death with you?
“We’ll just eat this first, and then go out to work after I have the baby …”
“Fuck you! Who do you think is stupid, you gave birth to a wild child, and will still care about me later?” Marisa Darcywas already full of anger, a few days ago, she knew she was in a subordinate situation, she was a little more restrained, now she found an outlet, she simply took it all out on Candy Hall.
Candy Hall covered her stomach and moaned in pain, Marisa Darcysaid with a disgusted look on her face, “This is bad luck!
“I’m like this, and you’re still …”
Before she finished, her legs lost strength, Candy Hall slid down the cupboard and sat down. Seeing that Marisa Darcydid not care at all, and did not even have the slightest intention to come forward to help, she was finally completely chilled and pulled out her cell phone with severe pain.
Once again, after being injured by Marisa Miller, being rushed to the hospital in an ambulance, being given a stern warning by the doctor and then being put in a room that smelled like sterile water, Candy Hall was devastated.
She admits that when she fled the Wright Family, it was Marisa Darcywho helped her find temporary refuge, and she even … turned the father of her child into an invalid!
But all this, she really had enough!
Instead of living with Marisa Miller, she would rather spend the rest of her life in jail to atone for her sins, or fall into the hands of Joe Wright, even if …
That’s right, Joe Wright!
Candy Hall’s eyes lit up, suddenly thought she had a way out, although she accidentally hurt Master Wright, but the child in the womb did not do the paternity test, the Wright Family does not yet know the identity of the child. She made a mistake, but they are not willing to abandon the Wright Family bloodline!
The thought made her blood boil, as if she had seen a ray of light in a dark vortex, and she dialed the number she knew by heart before Marisa Darcyreturned.
