Chapter 341 – Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family

She looked stunning when she dressed up, and she had a great aura about her. Her long hair simply styled was eye–catching. However, she didn’t bring any guests with her.

At this point, several directors started to laugh, some even stepped forward to mock her.

“President Molly, what’s up with the solo act? No friends to tag along?” an older woman feigned concern. “If you don’t have any connections, you can tell me, I know a guy who runs a pretty famous clothing company,. He could help you out.”

When the woman noticed that Molly’s chest was bigger than hers, she was immediately filled with resentment and jealousy.

“President Bill, why the need to tease? President Molly just took over the company, she can’t possibly have that many friends.”

Before she could finish, a voice cut her off.

“Sorry, I’m late.” A young man in a suit came forward, extending his hand. “President Molly, congratulations on taking over the Cooper Group. I’m sure it will become even more powerful under your leadership.”

“Mr. Jaime?” Molly hadn’t expected Jaime, the stand–ih CEO of QY, to actually show up. Grateful, she shook his hand. “I’m really glad you could make it to our celebration today.”

“No kidding, I heard earlier that there is a famous clothing company that could help you out, which one is it?” Jaime turned his gaze to the mocking President Bill.

President Bill was speechless. This was Jaime, the CEO of QY

Everyone knew that Queen Abby rarely appeared in the company, and that Jaime was in charge of the day–to–day operations. She did not expect him to appear in person, and even stand up for Molly. Her friend’s company was just a small company, and she mentioned it to humiliate Molly. She didn’t expect–Jaime to bring it up.

“President Bill, Mr. Jaime is asking you which company?” Molly confidently asked, looking at President Bill with interest.

President Bill quickly backed down. “I was just saying.

Her friend’s company was not even worth mentioning. She would never dare to be arrogant in front of Jaime.

“That’s great, it’s an honor for the Cooper Group to work with QY” Molly shook his hand again, expressing her gratitude.

The other directors and shareholders were stunned. They couldn’t believe that Molly managed to invite someone like Jaime. Everyone knew QY’s status in the fashion world.

Just then, another man came over, his eyes falling on Molly and Jaime’s hands.

“Is that Hans from Collins Fashion? He’s here too?“.

“At the board meeting this afternoon, they were planning to fire Molly, but he conveniently showed up and expressed interest in working with the Cooper Group. He even came to support Molly at tonight’s welcome party. He seems to be very interested in what’s going on with Molly. Is he into Molly?”

“No way! What’s so special about Molly that he would be interested in her?”

“But Hans isn’t the type to stick his nose in other people’s business. If he’s not into Molly, did he see something in her talent?”

“Talent? That could be it.”

“Molly.”

This time, Hans didn’t address her with the formal title “President Molly” like Jaime from QY did. He just used her first name, suggesting they were more than just professional acquaintances.

Molly turned around, and upon seeing Hans, her face lit up with a radiant smile. She walked towards

Hans cheerfully, and when she saw him extend his hand, she willingly shook it, whispering, “Hans.”

“Hmm,” Hans’ gaze softened a bit. “I hope I’m not late?”

“Nope, you’re early.” Molly guided him forward. “There’s some red wine up front that you might like. I’ll pour you a glass.”

Jaime, on the side, was a bit puzzled. Was it just him, or did Hans throw him a slightly hostile look earlier? Was it all in his head? For some reason, this hostility felt oddly familiar, like the way Romeo used to look at him.

Nobody expected Molly to invite not only Jaime, the CEO of QY, but also Hans. Everyone was taken aback.

Molly handed a glass of wine to Hans. “Hans, this one’s for you.”

“Girls shouldn’t drink so much.”

“Hans, you’ve helped me so much. I insist on toasting to you.”

Just as Hans was about to suggest she only needed to take a little sip, Molly had already downed the entire glass. She even smiled at him afterwards, her smile innocent and pure. She was already quite adorable, and now in her evening dress, she looked even more charming and sweet.

“Such a considerate guy, this Hans.” one of the chairmen walked over to them with a big smile on his face. “You hardly ever show up to other corporations’ functions, but for President Molly, you made an exception.”

“Exactly,” another chairman joined in. “You didn’t even attend the 70th birthday banquet of the CEO of the Stellar Group.”

Upon hearing this, Molly immediately turned to Hans in disbelief.

“Molly is different from others.” Hans’ response left the two chairmen stunned, then they burst into laughter.

“Since Hans thinks so highly of our President Molly, we hope you’ll give her a hand as she takes on her new role.”

“Yeah, President Molly doesn’t have a lot of experience. If you could cooperate more with our group…”

Upon hearing this, Molly immediately cut them off, “Let’s not talk about work today. Hans, let’s go over there.”

These two chairmen were really annoying.

“Hey, I heard that Hans is here at the Cooper Group today for some sort of partnership discussion. Any idea what that’s about, or how it’s going?”

“Yeah, I’m curious about what the first partnership President Molly will bring to us after taking office will be.”

“You guys ask too much.” Hans avoided a direct answer, and instead said casually, “As for the specifics of the partnership, I’ll discuss it with Molly in detail when the time comes.”

“And you guys don’t need to worry too much about it,” Molly added.

A couple of board members were pissed off and found a reason to bail.

“Hans, I owe you one.” Molly was taken aback by Hans’ special care for her, even helping her deal with the hassle.

“You’re new to the company, and there’s a lot of stuff and people you need to get used to.” Hans barely finished his sentence when his phone started buzzing. “Excuse me for a sec.”

“Go ahead, Hans.” Seeing him take the call and head off elsewhere, presumably for work-related stuff,

Molly didn’t interrupt.

She accidentally spotted QY’s CEO, Jaime, swarmed by a bunch of people, so she decided to step in.

“Guys, lay off Mr. Jaime for today, let’s not talk shop.” Molly fended off some overzealous chairpersons and shareholders who were eager to brown-nose, shielding Jaime behind her. “If there’s anything about cooperation, Mr. Jaime will talk to me. You guys don’t need to bother.”

“Molly, I have something else to discuss with Mr. Jaime.”

“You guys can schedule another time, Mr. Jaime is here for me today. At my celebration, I don’t want to hear anything related to work.”

Someone said, “I just proposed a suggestion to Mr. Jaime, but he hasn’t responded yet.”

“If he hasn’t responded today, please give Mr. Jaime some personal space.”

After shooing these people away, Molly apologized to Jaime, “I’m sorry, my people didn’t get the memo and are always looking for a free ride. Mr. Jaime, don’t worry about it, just say no if you want to. I’ll school them to behave better.”

“I understand your predicament, President Molly. It’s okay, thanks for bailing me out.”

Jaime was not only a CEO, but also a PR whiz, handling the situation earlier with ease, but being shielded by a young girl made him feel somewhat different.
