Chapter 1599
Watching the stranger before her, Sophie's eyes darkened.
She had never heard of a person named Jason.
This clearly showed that Reece had always kept her at arm's length.
"Ms. Sophie, I'm here on behalf of Mr. Reece to negotiate with you. The proposal for this shareholders' meeting was initiated by Mr. Reece. As the largest shareholder of S Corporation, Mr. Reece has the right to call this election. Do you have any objections?" Jason's opening was very formal.
Sophie took her seat at the head of the table and replied, "You don't need to give me these formalities. All the shareholders are already here. Even if I object, would that stop the meeting from happening? It can't be that simple, right?"
"Ms. Sophie, today's election process is straightforward. It's about who is more suitable for the CEO position of S Corporation between Mr. Reece and you."
Jason slowly continued, "I believe everyone here is aware of both your achievements within the company. Since its inception two years ago, Ms. Sophie's visits to S Corporation have been few and far between. Mr. Reece, on the other hand, as a shareholder, has a firm grasp of the company's operations and has also held an indispensable position, bringing considerable benefits to the company. I think Mr. Reece is the best candidate for the CEO position of S Corporation."
"Are you saying that I, Ms. Sophie of S Corporation, am not suitable for the role?"Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sophie's words were laced with aggression. Reece hadn't come in person but had sent an assistant, whose origins were unknown to her.
This had already upset her.
And to make matters worse, this assistant's words were pointed.
"Ms. Sophie, I'm merely stating
facts. I believe the other shareholders here can also acknowledge Mr. Reece's accomplishments in S Corporation. I have said my piece. Ms. Sophie, you're welcome to defend yourself, and I have no objections to that."
This time, Jason had brought a professional lawyer with him.
It seemed he was confident about securing the CEO position for S Corporation.
Sophie glanced around at the shareholders present and slowly said, "What do you all think? Do you agree with Mr. Jason?"
The shareholders looked at each other, several of them too intimidated to meet Sophie's gaze.
"Ms. Sophie, S Corporation was established because of you. We've all followed you from the start, like loyal retainers. Naturally, I support Ms. Sophie." One of the shareholders was originally from Russell Enterprises, and the other two nodded in agreement.
However, soon enough, someone voiced their opposition: "That's not the point. Although S Corporation was established because of Ms. Sophie, there's always new talent emerging. Ms. Sophie, despite founding S Corporation, has rarely been involved in its affairs. The ones frequently present at the company are only Mr. Reece and Tricia. This is irresponsible towards us
shareholders. Moreover, I've always felt that a woman is not suited for this position. Given the harmonious relationship between Mr. Reece and Ms. Sophie, even if the authority is transferred to Mr. Reece, I believe Ms. Sophie would have no objections."
"I share the same view. Ms. Sophie is often elusive, and if we need to discuss something with her, we have to go through Tricia. If it weren't for Mr. Reece these past two years, the company would probably have disbanded by now. I think it's best for Ms. Sophie to think of the bigger picture and step down. After all, the shares are still hers; wouldn't it be better to just sit back and earn money?"
