Joanna knew that they wanted to evict her from the Haynes Group
At this point, she can’t pretend to be polite anymore, Joanna sneered and said, “I’m more anxious than anyone else about this matter with the company. I also hope our company can grow and prosper more than anyone else!
“Now is the time to solve the problem, not the time to blame each other! At the very least, the financial growth of the Haynes Group last year increased by 5%!
“To make a compromise, even if I’m not qualified for the position of chairman, I’ll automatically withdraw from the Haynes Group after three years! You can still benefit from the betting agreement, so your loss will be covered. Don’t worry.
“You guys will absolutely make a profit. I don’t understand what’s there to worry about. When I make money, all of you will benefit from it. Even if I lose money, I’ll lose myself and you won’t be involved. I’m under much more pressure than you guys.”
This was the first time that Joanna was so angry during a conference..
He felt overwhelmingly pressed from the very beginning, yet Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul kept criticizing him. They acted out the reality of ‘we can share riches and honor, but difficulties are for your own.
“Miss Haynes, take some water! Let’s calm down first!” The company’s vice president Ethan acted quickly when he sensed the situation was out of control.
“At this stake, you don’t care about how to get the company out of the difficulties. And all you did was triticize me. You think that’s the way out?”
Joanna was no longer as humble and low key as before. Her words were sharp and her aura was fierce.
When Mr. Roger and Mr. Paul heard this, they were also stunned by Joanna’s imposing manner. Actually, we are discussing the problem! You’re so noisy. I thought you were arguing with someone!”
Joanna’s face sank. She said coldly, “I’m not arguing with anyone. I just hope that everyone can work together and think of a way to get through the current difficulties.
“When the three–year contract expires, if I’m not qualified for the position of chairman, I’ll automatically withdraw from the Haynes Group, even if none of you chase me away.
“The deadline isn’t up yet. What’s the point of forcing me to leave now?*
Mr. Roger laughed dryly and quickly responded, “Joann! Mr. Paul was also anxious just now. He meant nothing bad and was worried about the future of the company!
“He’s an elder Just listen to him complain! You’re just a junior. Just calm down and forget it
When Joanna heard this, she grew even angrier. These two wily old foars were used to taking advantage of their seniority!
“Mr. Roger, we’re in the company now. There are no seniors or juniors! We are equal. Everything will be done according to the company’s rules.
“if a company keeps showing off its seniority and makes no effort to seek progress, it won’t be far from bankruptcy Joanna’s words were quite rude. When Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger heard this, they felt more disgraced. They were so angry that they could not say anything for quite a long time.
“Alright, alright, alright. I don’t care anymore. Do as you see fit!
“If anything happens, don’t look for my help. Now I’m leaving, Hmph. Mr. Roger said in anger and stood up to leave the conference room. Anyway, Joanna had been chairman for more than a year. It was just another two years before she would leave office. Thinking of this, he felt much more relieved.
Let her do it for the next two years! As long as the company didn’t go bankrupt, he couldn’t be bothered.
When the three–year deadline was up, if she could not complete the betting agreement, she would have to hand over her shares unconditionally
When that day finally came, she would be in trouble.
“So that’s all for today’s meeting!
“Tonight, everyone writes a proposal and submits it at tomorrow’s meeting.”
“Okay, Miss Haynes.”
Joanna did not say anything else. She stood up and left the conference room.
It was already past five o’clock!
Joanna returned to the office and continued to deal with the piles of work on her table.
She buned herself in work until 11 p.m.
When the company building was already empty, Joanna turned off the computer and left the company exhausted.
When she was back home, Miranda was still awake. She saw Joanna dragging her suitcase with a tired and depressed expression.
1150
She felt distressed so much that she hurriedly opened the door for Joanna. “Joann, why did you come back in the middle of the night?
“Just tell me you were about to go back home so that Kelly could pick you up!”
“I’m fine!” Joanna entered the house weakly.
“Are you tired? I’ll run you a bath. You should take a bath later!” Miranda said and quickly went forward to take her suitcase.
“Alright!”
Then, Joanna took off her coat and changed into slippers. She walked to her room with a tired expression.
After a while, Miranda filled the bathtub and quietly came over to call her. “Joann, the water is ready!
“Take your time to take a bath first, I’ll make some cakes for you!”
When Joanna heard that, she realized she had not eaten anything for the entire day. Her stomach also rumbled. “Thank you, Miranda!”
Joanna was extremely annoyed as she soaked in the bathroom!
She had been thinking about how to turn the situation around.
After the bath, Miranda’s cakes were also ready.
At this moment, Joanna was dizzy from hunger.
She already had hypoglycemia for years. After not eating for a day, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Taking all the cakes in, Joanna returned to her room to sleep.
Unfortunately, she found it a sleepless night. She was so tired that she felt sleepy so much and her eyes nearly closed, but she couldn’t fall asleep at
all.
Now, people were preconceived. The public image of the Haynes Group had hit rock bottom, just like a stain hard to erase.
Joanna thought about it all night. Perhaps she could only change the company’s name, Changing the name might redeem the impact.
However, if the name was changed eventually, the original name that his grandfather had given would be invalid.
But, in order to minimize the loss, changing the name was the most direct and effective way.
The next day came.
Joanna went to the company early in the morning!
Today, she was going to discuss with the directors about changing the company’s name.
The executives and Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger also arrived at the conference room.
“Dear directors, after a night of careful consideration, I want to change the Haynes Group’s Brain Industrial Co., Ltd. to Golden Rule Technology.” When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, thinking that they had heard wrongly. “Huh? Change the company’s name?”
“That’s not a wise option, right? This name, Brain Industrial, was personally given by your grandfather!
“Moreover, the company has been in business for half a century, and its reputation has already been established after decades of efforts. How can we dismantle our own brand?”
Mr. Roger couldn’t sit still anymore and retorted anxiously, “That’s right. How can the company’s name be changed casually? The signboard of an old company can’t be changed hastily!”
Joanna paused for a few seconds before continuing. “Times are different now. Besides, we’re in the electronic technology business, not the catering industry!”
“That won’t do either. Brain Industrial has a place internationally. If we change the name rashly, we’ll have to start all over again.”
“I don’t agree!
“Me neither!”
Joanna continued, “Technology companies are based on their advanced technology as a selling point. If we don’t boast cutting–edge technology and impressive products, users will not care about whether it’s an old brand. Look at the international big names like Kodak and Nokia. They failed to keep up with the times, so they were out of the user market, right?”
“That’s different.”
“How is it different? The food and beverage industry might pay more attention to brand effects. But this is a technological product industry. We rely on technology and product quality, not brand effect!” Joanna retorted.
*Uh, Miss Haynes has a point!” An executive replied seriously! He agreed with Joanna’s point of view.
“Miss Haynes, changing the company’s name might be a way to make up for it! However, it’s a pity to completely abandon the old brand Brain Industial!”
Another suddenly suggested, “We can set up another branch company and transfer some specific industries to the new company!
In this way, we can protect Brain Industrial’s reputation and develop a new brand effect.”
Setting up a subsidiary company?” Joanna frowned.
This might be a solution. It was a change in form but not in content.
There was no better way at the moment, so this was the only way.
While everyone was in a meeting, there was a commotion downstairs again.
“Joanna Haynes is an unfilial daughter!”
“Joanna Haynes is a jinx. She doesn’t deserve to be in the Haynes family.”
“She is a heinous monster! Totally inhumane!” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Shaun had a sign hanging around his neck and was making a scene downstairs again!
It was useless to call the police. Shaun was Joanna’s father. So this was a family matter.
Even if he was brought to the police station, they would only let him go after warning him.
Someone knocked on the conference room’s door.
“Come in!”
The door was pushed open.
Luna walked in with a serious expression. She whispered into Joanna’s ear, “Miss Haynes, bad news. Mr. Haynes is causing trouble downstairs again!”
