Chapter 787
“My cousin’s wife is all alone now and I’m afraid some things are not so convenient for her. If you are not familiar with Kranson City, you can always talk to me, Randall!” Ian Grant quickly interrupted,
Randall Leigh was puzzled for a moment. After a while, he smiled helplessly as he realized that lan must have misunderstood. He then explained, Tm just full of admiration for Mrs. Grant, that’s all. Come to think of it, the eloquent way Mrs. Grant spoke just now reminded me of an old friend of mine. That’s why I couldn’t help thinking that I should get to know her better..”
When he mentioned “old friend,” a hint of melancholy flashed across Randall’s eyes, but he quickly regained his comp
composure.
Only then did tan realize that he had screwed up. He was at a loss to know what to do. Valerie caught sight of fan’s reaction and she immediately tried to smooth things over. “Nevertheless, I must thank you for your help today, lan. Otherwise, our deal wouldn’t have proceeded so smoothly.”
lan wasn’t one to remain embarrassed for long. He accepted the graceful exit provided by Valerie and replied, “That goes without saying. But you can’t just pay lip service, Valerie. That won’t dor”
Valerie burst out laughing. “Don’t worry. When Matthew comes back, Til definitely get him to show his appreciation for your ellorts”
The corners of Randall’s lips also curled up. Rumor had it that the young Mrs. Grant grew up in the rural areas and was even abused by her adoptive parents. He thought that this Mrs. Grant would be a timid person, but to his great surprise, she was so graceful and magnanimous. Moreover, the
Noria Group was a big company with a reputation that preceded it. Thus, Randall anticipated a tough negotiation. It was completely unexpected that the deal could be closed so smoothly with Mrs. Grant taking charge.
Valerie and Randall chatted cheerfully with champagne glasses in their hands. When the bystanders outside saw this, they could not help but sigh with envy. The Noria Group was really capable
With so little effort, Valerie signed the MOU with Randall while the gawkers outside watched helplessly. They immediately started lamenting.
The Noria Group clinched the deal again. These guys were undoubtedly the king in terms of grabbing businesses!
After closing the deal with Randall, Valerie also successfully shut the mouths of the Grant family members. Those who used to look down on her and even complained about her were speechless when they saw the MOU,
Valerie watched those family members from her vantage point and made no attempt to
to smooth their ruffled feathers.
“From today onward, the worst–performing employees will be terminated. The past appraisal methods in the Noria Group will be revamped. Going forward, the Noria Group will no longer be a place of sinecures and cushy jobs for slackers, Valerie thought.
She had long wanted to deal with these loafers. Not surprisingly, these loafers were up in arms after she made the announcement
Valerie put aside the MOU and immediately called for a meeting.
This time, with the MOU with Randall Leigh to bolster her position, Valerie was not afraid of anything. Moreover, lan was back. She had to say what she needed to say in one go.
She was not interested in any power grab within the Grant family. However, this company belonged to her husband, Matthew. Since that was the case, she could not allow the Noria Group to lose any value in her hands. She had to prove that she was not a dodder which clung to Matthew and to show everyone she could protect everything that belonged to him.
The only issue was she didn’t know when Matthew would be back.
In the conference room, the Noria Group’s senior executives all stared at Valerie. Most of them were Grant family members, and there outpouring of veiled criticisms of Valerie’s decision.
However, they did not say anything about how Valerie single–handedly closed the deal with Randall Leigh.

However, the Grant family members didn’t dare to criticize and could only swallow everything meekly. After all, the control of the Noria Group was in Valerie’s hands now. Moreover, she was the one who clinched this deal with Randall Leigh.
In addition, even that brat lan also supported Valerie. The Grant family members were furious, but they couldn’t flare up publicly.
There were rumors that Matthew was still alive. For now,
they were just protecting themselves and adopting a wait–and–see approach.
Valerie took a deep breath and surveyed the room before adding, “If there are any issues, feel free to voice out All of you are my seniors in this business. If you can’t handle them, hand them over to
the special action team. Likewise, the commission will also be equitably apportioned.
“The company appoints people according to their merits and will not waste resources on slouches. Those who think that they don’t have the ability,

it’s best not to say anything. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not showing mercy when the time comes.”
Valerie only wanted to intimidate them and make them work. She did not want to work her butt off and have her hard work end up benefiting them.
When everyone heard this, they exchanged looks, lan smiled. “Whatever Mrs. Grant says, goes! I give my full support!
“For a company as big as the Noria Group, if anyone wants to take it easy, they should not be given free rides. Otherwise, who would want to work hard? What do all of you think?” Ian continued,
Everyone voiced their concurre
“You’re right!” said one.
concurrence with lan
“Let’s proceed then. I have no objections!” said another.
“I have no objections either! A third chimed in.
Valerie
was very satisfied. “Good Meeting is adjourned then.”
After Valerie left, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They did not expect the young Mrs. Grant to be cast in the same mold as Matthew Grant. She was just a vixen yet she was so cunning!
Valerie did not care what other people thought of her. Those who could complete their tasks would naturally be rewarded. Those who could not. she would suggest that they reflect on themselves and not criticize her management style. They were all mature adults so they should understand.

However, after engaging in some dirty office politics, Fred disappeared from everyone’s sight
The other Grant family members also wanted to trip Valerie up initially. Now that they had witnessed Valerie’s tactics, they did not dare to try anything anymore
