Chapter 707: Chapter 703: Get Richelle Dunn to Roll off the President’s Position

When the old man relayed this matter to Richelle Dunn, she seemed prepared and didn’t show any signs of difficulty.

She just smiled and replied, “Alright, I’ll prepare the materials and attend the meeting on time tomorrow afternoon.”

The old man wasn’t sure about Richelle’s reason for rejecting the acquisition, so he asked with concern, fearing that she might not be able to handle it.

“Do you need me to attend with you?”

If he was present, those veteran directors would not dare to be too pushy, even if they had a point.

Richelle shook her head with a smile, “Grandpa, it’s a small matter, and I don’t need you to get involved. Just stay at home and play chess or watch TV with the kids!”

Richelle was practical, so when she said there was no need, the old man didn’t worry about the matter anymore.

Roy Lewis also asked Richelle symbolically, but when she said she didn’t need help, he went on to attend to his own business.

The next day, the board meeting was held at three in the afternoon.

Aldo Lewis, who hadn’t been to the Lewis Group for some time, was in a great mood, sitting there and chatting with the directors.

Seeing Richelle come in, he unusually took the initiative to greet her.

“Richelle, if you need help later, remember to tell your fourth uncle; I’ll do my best to help you out, considering my nephew Roy.”

Richelle was used to his cunning ways and simply returned a polite smile. “Thank you! If I need help, I’ll definitely ask, but I don’t think it’ll be necessary today!”

Aldo looked at her with a half-smile.

“Well, I hope you can resolve this issue smoothly!”

Richelle remained silent with a smile.

She sat down in her seat and addressed the directors.

“Since this emergency meeting was called by the directors, could someone please represent them and state the issue?”

Aldo Lewis, unanimously elected by the directors, raised his hand and waved it.

“I’m the representative!”

Richelle nodded solemnly at him, “Please, Mr. Lewis, proceed!”

Aldo seemed to have gotten hold of yesterday’s materials, and he had the secretary distribute the photocopies to all the directors.

“Richelle, I assume you don’t need the materials for the Lodiva Group acquisition proposal?”

Richelle shook her head, “No, I don’t need them; I have them here!”

Aldo nodded, “Alright, then on behalf of the directors, I formally question your decision on this acquisition.”

Richelle glanced at the directors still flipping through the materials, “Okay, I’ll give you a reasonable explanation later. For now, please read the materials carefully.”

Aldo thought she was just buying time and looking for backup.

He sneered in his heart, thinking that even if the heavenly king came, she couldn’t be saved this time.

However, Richelle sat there calmly, seemingly not nervous at all.

She didn’t make any calls for help, just sat quietly typing on her laptop, looking composed and unruffled.

She didn’t seem to realize the impending crisis.

Aldo secretly laughed at her ignorance. He thought that she probably didn’t know that even as the CEO, if she made a fatal mistake, the board would have the power to impeach and remove her from the CEO position.

Of course, it wouldn’t happen just because of this incident alone, but if they found one opportunity, they would eventually find a second and third one.

When her mistakes accumulated to a certain extent, her credibility in the eyes of the directors would naturally plummet.

Then it would be logical and natural for her to be kicked out of the CEO position!

About twenty minutes later, the directors in attendance finished reading the proposal. Richelle said she could give them a few more minutes to discuss how to impeach her.

Of course, Richelle didn’t say it so directly, she used euphemisms like “raising objections”.

As soon as she left, Aldo laughed contemptuously.

“Stupid b*tch. She’s in deep trouble and still thinks we’re just offering her constructive criticism!”

Mr. White also laughed.

“The more she takes it lightly and naively, the more likely we are to win, right?”

Mr. Rogue nodded in agreement.

“Exactly! This acquisition clearly has many benefits, so why should her one word cut off our money-making path?”

Aldo clicked his tongue.

“I told you she was an attention-seeker with no real capability. Look, without Nathan Caroule’s help, she’s exposed herself right away!”

Mr. Prain concurred.

“Yeah, anyone with eyes can see this acquisition is a sure win! What right does she have to disapprove it?”

Aldo saw that everyone’s opinions were very unified and felt secretly delighted in his heart.

He thought that with these passionate people, the matter was practically done.

“How can she, of course, by being the CEO and holding the most shares in Lewis Group.”

With that little bit of fuel from Aldo, the directors became even more discontent.

“She may have a lot of money that she can’t waste it all, but we shareholders are not the same! We rely on these dividends to live!”

“Exactly, even though she’s the CEO and the largest shareholder, she should take our interests into consideration when making decisions, right?”

Aldo raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

“I’ll convey your opinions later on. Today, one way or another, we’re going to get a satisfactory answer.”
