Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
Howard sighed. “Everyone, calm down. I just called home. Our family said that Sister-in-law has indeed just left. She can’t be here before an hour.”
When he said this, everyone instantly became even more furious. “Then why was she lying just now? She said that she would be here in half an hour… Heh, when she arrives at the company, it’ll already be past 11. It’ll be lunchtime!”
“How could she forget about the meeting? She’s too much!”
“If she really likes to sleep, then she can just sleep at home. Why is she coming here to the company? Is she here to make trouble? Can she lead our Hunt Corporation forward with just her looks? I really doubt it now!”
“Let’s go! Why are we waiting here?”
These people were all very rich and had their own tempers.
In the past, when Justin was around, he could still suppress them. But now, how could a group of old foxes tolerate a little one like Nora?
Everyone stood up and was about to leave when Hunts’ third uncle said, “Everyone agreed just now to wait for Miss Smith for another half an hour. There are only twenty minutes left. Why don’t we wait and try?”
Then, he looked at Howard. “You said you called home, but why didn’t I receive any news? Don’t tell me you’re talking nonsense and slandering Nora!”
As soon as he said this, Howard immediately cried out in grievance. “Uncle, you can’t say that about me! How could I possibly slander my own Sister-in-law? If you don’t believe me, give our family a call!”
Brenda’s father, the third son of the Hunts, continued, “I won’t call. I won’t pry into the chairman’s whereabouts. This is very rude. I’ll only wait here. When the time comes, if she still hasn’t come, she’ll give us an explanation!”
When Howard heard this, he instantly waved his hand and suppressed the crowd. “Alright, since Third Uncle has said so, then uncles, please give me face and stay! We’ll just quietly wait for Nora to come over!”
Everyone was a little dissatisfied with Howard’s act.
However, no one spoke much.
After all, after the company had been through a few baptisms, the people left behind now were either middlemen, people who had never fought as a team, or Justin’s own people.
Although Justin had passed away, the company had not collapsed!
When Howard saw this situation, he blinked at the person behind him. That was his personal secretary. She did not work in Hunt Corporation, so she had not been cleaned up by Justin back then.
At this moment, the secretary said, “Everyone, we’re certain that Miss Smith has just left the house. She definitely won’t be able to reach on time. Since that’s the case, why don’t we discuss if Miss Smith is suitable and if she has the ability to be the chairman?”
Everyone fell silent.
Although everyone was very dissatisfied with Nora being late, they respected Justin very much.
However, what the secretary said next made everyone waver.
The secretary sighed. “We’re all doing this for the good of Hunt Corporation and President Hunt. Besides, Miss Smith is only acting as the temporary chairman. Her future position belongs to Peter Hunt! If Miss Smith is so reckless and can even be late for a meeting, then will you hand Hunt Corporation’s future to her?”
Her words hit the nail on the head.
In fact, when Justin suddenly passed away, everyone was a little flustered. Over the years, Justin had covered the sky with one hand in the company.
Occasionally, when everyone had different opinions, they would earn money as long as they listened to Justin.
It did not matter if they lost money.
As long as they were sincere about the company, Justin would lose his own money to keep them profitable.
He had this kind of magic power to make people submit to him sincerely!
But now, was Hunt Corporation really going to be managed by a woman who only knew how to sleep?
Everyone began to think.
Third Uncle frowned and scolded, “Is the board of directors’ meeting something a secretary like you can enter as you please? Besides, Justin has only been gone for a few days, and you’re already teaming up to bully his widow?!”
His tone was very heavy as he spoke.
Everyone’s faces heated up.
At this moment, Howard stood out. “Uncle, the company is not a family business. All family businesses face destruction. This is what Justin said when he was still alive, so he never let anyone favor relatives! This is also why everyone admires him! But now, are you being biased and protecting Nora? Are you really not going to care about the company’s future?”
Third Uncle sneered. “The future of Hunt Corporation lies with Pete… Peter Hunt! Over the past ten years, our rise has been too fast. Now is the time to calm down and fight steadily! In another fifteen years, when the company is handed to Peter Hunt, it will be a new beginning!”
Howard sighed. “You want us to stay in the same spot for 15 years? Uncle, you can, but can the directors here do that? Business is like sailing against the current. If we don’t advance, we’ll retreat. Is a million dollars from ten years ago the same as a million dollars ten years later? It’s different! The property will depreciate! We can only maintain our current status by constantly improving. Uncle, I know you’re thinking for Justin, but I think, if he was still around, do you think he would hire an employee who’s casually late to lead us?!” Third Uncle mumbled, “Isn’t she just half an hour late?”
“She can’t reach in half an hour. Besides, she’s lying! She clearly just left…”
Howard scolded her. He was about to say something when the door was suddenly pushed open. Nora strode in!
The moment Nora walked in, the entire conference room fell silent.
Howard rubbed his eyes in confusion as if he had seen wrongly. The smile on his face froze.
The servant at home had just said that Nora came out of the house 20 minutes ago. How could she have arrived so quickly? Did she fly over?
When he was stunned, Third Uncle said, “Nora, you’re here! I knew it. How could you have forgotten such an important meeting?! You must have left long ago!”
With that, he said in a low voice, “However, Howard said that you just left the house. I wonder which servant told him that. This isn’t good. You’ve left an impression on us directors that you’re lazy!”
Howard knew that he had lost this round.
However, his expression did not change. The smile on his face returned to life as he said, “Yes, yes. I must have made a mistake there! Fortunately, you’ve arrived. Otherwise, these uncles would have waited for you for an hour! Nora, did you sleep till late this morning? Even if there was a traffic jam, you shouldn’t be half an hour late, right?”
Although Nora arrived within half an hour, it could not change the fact that she was late.
Nora narrowed her eyes slightly. She did not explain and walked straight to the host chair. After sitting down, she said calmly, “I’m sorry I’m late.”
These short words inexplicably gave people a sense of security and calmness.
The other shareholders looked at her. At this moment, everyone suddenly had a little confidence in the company’s future.
At least this woman could really control the situation. In such a tense atmosphere, she could handle the problem easily. It seemed like she had some skills.
Howard’s heavy fists hit cotton and he instantly felt that it was meaningless.
If he continued to talk about her being late, it would make him look very petty. Therefore, Howard smiled and said, “Nora, it’s okay. We’re family. Let’s start the meeting, okay?”
This person was really petty. Nora complained in her heart and nodded.
Then, the people below reported their respective projects to her so that she could understand the business quickly.
Nora was multitasking. As she listened, she looked at her special assistant, Mr. Livingstone, who was standing beside her. This was a child from the distant family of Mrs. Hunt. He had already served Mrs. Hunt for more than five years and had always been in contact with her.
This person was very good at managing the company. He had once been a professional manager and had a good reputation in the industry. This was also the person Mrs. Hunt had worked hard to invite to help Nora run Hunt Corporation!
Logically speaking, he should have reminded Nora that she was coming to the meeting today. After all, as the special assistant, he was responsible for these small matters.
Moreover, Nora had always been carefree. Lily was the one handling the medical matters. Even if Justin was here, he could not possibly remember his daily schedule. It was arranged by the special assistant!
Moreover, Mrs. Hunt had even instructed Mr. Livingstone repeatedly yesterday to get him to help her no matter what. He had to suppress the situation!
But this Mr. Livingstone did not remind her?
At the very least, he should have informed her that she should leave for the company at 9 o’clock!
Nora thought about this and turned the pen in her hand.
“…President Smith, what do you think we should do with this case? Should we continue or shelve it?”
As she was thinking, the first person finished reporting and asked her about it.
Nora was about to speak when Mr. Livingstone beside her suddenly said, “You should go ahead and do whatever President Hunt advised when he was still around.”
Mr. Livingstone stood behind Nora, looking handsome as a special assistant.
With his words, everyone understood.
It seemed like Miss Smith was still just for show. Had she found a professional manager to act for her?
However, that was fine too!
As long as Hunt Corporation continued to develop well.
Everyone thought about this. Next, they faced Nora one by one but actually began reporting to Mr. Livingstone.
Justin had already arranged most of the projects well enough. They could continue according to his instructions and things he had left behind.
Mr. Livingstone opened his mouth to handle the matter and sized Nora up.
This woman was his new partner.
