Kara knew that she was not a good actor. She was unable to disguise flawlessly.
However, she was willing to make herself stronger for the sake of James.
What’s more, with James by her side, if she were to say anything wrong, he would help her save the situation.
Kara stared at James’ deep brown eyes. She subconsciously held his little finger with a smirk.
“Hello everyone, I am James Hemming’s wife. It’s an honor to be able to attend the anniversary celebration of the SA Group.”
“In the past, I often heard that the benefits of the SA Group are very good. Today, I’ve seen it myself. It is indeed very good. However, I want to believe that everyone chose to join the SA Group not just for the meager benefits.”
“In our lives, there will be many choices. And every choice, at every moment, for everyone, will stir up a little ripple in the long and bright road of life.”
“These ripples rippled and connected together. They change our future.”
“Because the future is the choice one has now. Nothing is ever definite.”
“If you choose SA, SA will acknowledge you. This does not only mean that you can get a good salary, but also proves that you have extraordinary abilities and are true elites. The true elites whose small thought can change the times.”
“Thank you for creating different things. Also, thank you for being able to accompany James all the way. Because of all of you, James can have strong confidence and believe that the SA Group will get better and better.”
“I will also work hard to make myself better. The next time I stand next to him on stage, I won’t tremble.”
Hearing Kara’s words, the audience burst into laughter, followed by encouraging applause.
“Bravo!”
Moved, some people wouldn’t stop cheering.
James was surprised to hear Kara give out such impassioned and sincere words.
He let Kara go on stage this time because firstly, he wanted to tell some people that he already had a wife, so they would not have their eyes laid on her. The other purpose was to exercise her courage. There would be many more such situations in the future.
The result of the exercise was obviously good. Her performance greatly exceeded his expectations.
Taking the microphone from Kara’s hand, the corners of James’ lips curled up as he said something exciting.
“My wife is looking forward to your performance. Then we will set up another award in the company. Each head of the department will set a target. For colleagues who have outstanding achievements, the reward will be 100 thousand. Two flight tickets will be given. You can choose any overseas vacation ticket.”
Everyone stood up excitedly and applauded.
James was so generous. He offered 100 thousand so easily. But that generosity did fill the employees with fighting spirit.
However, everyone was impressed by the way James showed his affection to Kara.
They got to travel abroad. That wasn’t all. They got to not only choose the destination, but also have two tickets!
The voices of the crowd grew louder and louder as they moved forward in excitement.
Initially, everyone thought that James would go on stage and talk about the next work target like in the past.
However, they did not expect that the next situation was completely beyond their imagination. After being caught off guard by James’ PDA, they were also motivated to work harder for the handsome prize!
Indeed, poverty limited the way some people motivate their employees.
James’ expression suddenly turned cold. His brown eyes coldly swept around. He paused on Emily and Lily’s faces and indifferently turned his gaze away.
“However, there are people who simply want to get through the days in the SA Group and cause internal conflicts.”
“I’m sorry, you’re not worthy of my wife’s admiration, and SA cannot tolerate what you did!”
The business industry was like a battlefield. And it was the same for the staff meeting. There had to be a strategy. This was the reason the problem that the leaders often thought of and employees were different.
When James entered this battlefield, he was only 20 years old. Most of the 20-year-old teenagers were still in college.
However, in the gruesome market, some people thought that James was too young and could not support the turbulent SA Group. They would bully him and embarrass him. But he always fought back with his tough methods.
After so many years in the industry, although James was not old, he was cunning enough.
James let the employees know that in the SA Group, as long as they do well, he will never treat them unfairly.
But if someone wanted to divide power from him without his permission, he would never be merciful when people want to go against him.
With James in front of them, the other bosses would appear much weaker when they went on stage.
Emily and Lily were the organizers of this anniversary celebration. Sitting below the stage, although James’ last sentence was not stated, they knew it was a warning to them. James was trying to make them put away their thoughts.
Emily and Lily were shocked and panicked.
James led Kara down the stage and went to look for Nolan.
The spot Nolan found for the two of them had a window with a wide view. Kara took a spoon and could not wait to have a taste.
However, when the spoon reached her lips, she saw Zoey walking toward them with a familiar woman. Kara swallowed and helplessly put the spoon down.
“James, how long has it been since you last saw me?”
When James heard Zoey’s voice, his brown eyes became cold and sharp. His face turned gloomy and cold.
Kara observed his face and knew that he was thinking of what Quentin had said. After walking to his side and sitting down, Kara held his hand to comfort him and greeted Zoey with a sweet smile.
Zoey did not give Kara a glance. She looked straight at James. There was no response from him. Although Zoey was puzzled by his indifference, she did not give up her purpose of coming here today.
“James, SA is so lively today. It’s rare to meet a few acquaintances.”
Zoey looked at the woman behind her. She then took the woman’s hand to let her take a few steps forward.
“James, do you still remember this little girl? Alena, who used to follow you around. She has really changed a lot after so many years.”
Alena stepped forward and looked at James shyly. Hearing Zoey’s praise, Alena felt a little embarrassed.
“James, the last time I saw you, I wanted to tell you that SA’s benefits are really great. I also wanna join.”
James did not speak. He lowered his head and cut the dessert on the plate into small pieces, handing it to Kara.
Kara knew that James was angry inside. Zoey completely ignored her existence. It was clear that Zoey wanted to introduce Alena to James.
Thinking about how Zoey had ordered her in the hospital, Kara bit her lower lip and felt conflicted.
Although Kara and Zoey had a promise, when Kara saw other women around James with her own eyes, Kara’s heart was still filled with anxiety.
Seeing that James did not answer, Alena looked at Zoey doubtfully. Zoey patted Alena’s hand and smiled gently, letting her sit opposite James.
After Alena helped Zoey to sit down, Alena heard her continue with a smile.
“James, Alena used to study finance. She has already become the supervisor in her father’s company. She’s quite competent. If she wants to come to SA Group, she can definitely help you a little.”
Logically speaking, arranging a position was a small matter. But Zoey had personally said it, so this matter was not a small matter.
Kara secretly gritted his teeth. Zoey’s words clearly meant that she wanted to keep Alena in the secretarial department. Zoey probably did that so that Alena and James would have more time to get along.
The more Kara thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her fists.
“Grandma, Miss Alena wants to join SA Group. This is a good thing. You should inform the people from the Human Resources Department that you might be lacking in logistics personnel.”
