After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 381

Wayne almost couldn’t hide his joy. Previously, he could never trust Charles Sawyer completely. But now he was sure of Charles’ abilities by witnessing what he taught him to crack Hannah down. Therefore, Wayne firmly believed that he would win the Cooper Group sooner or later

He suddenly stood up from his seat and said, “I’m not qualified for this position yet. And I never thought of taking up it.”

He was taking his stand.

Hannah glanced at him, thinking that it must be Charles who told him to say so—that was taking one step back today for two steps forward tomorrow, and he could be trusted more easily for that.

As expected, Simon Moss quickly praised, “Wayne disappointed us before, but he grew up a lot after what happened with his father. Now he has become much more responsible and stable, and he can clearly know who he is. Instead of thinking big, he starts working in a down-to-earth way. I believe that he’ll make something for himself one day.”

“I’m very grateful for your instruction.” Wayne seemed to be humble. He won Simon’s favor by using language skills.

“You may sit down. If you develop well, the board can see your change.” Simon said to him earnestly.

“Yes.” Wayne sat back on his chair, and his heart how indescribably happy. Because he was hardly ever praised for all that time, but he was recognized now for Hannah’s failure this time. So he attributed all the credit to Charles.

He felt lucky that he had ignored Jane Cooper’s prejudice against Charles but chose to trust him. Now thinking about it, he suspected that Jane’s death had only herself to blame. She must have tried to seduce him. Otherwise, as such a tough man, Charles would never have something with that stupid girl.

In the conference room, Wayne was secretly pleased, which was all noticed by Hannah.

Simon added, “So, you cannot take people at face value. Before, we all thought Hannah was a dark horse in front of us, bringing a lot of interest to our company. But actually, she couldn’t afford any setbacks and just ran away when getting into trouble. She’s never gonna do anything great after this, I bet. Wayne, in contrast, is willing to learn from lessons after experiencing failures. A man like him will accomplish great things sooner or later!”

Hannah didn’t refute him. Some executives were saying something agreeing with him, while others just waited and saw.

Simon affirmed, “I’m not gonna say I’m one hundred percent sure, but I’m still eighty percent sure that based on my experience over these years, he’s going to do better than Hannah does in the future!”

Hannah just looked at him. She did not suspect that there was a secret relationship between Simon and Charles. Because he might not be so eager to carry out his plot just yet, and he would give himself away if he didn’t succeed in colluding with Simon. He was never a fool, and he was stroked by her just because of his self-conceit most of the time. So as long as he woke up to reality, he was not an easy man to deal with.

And now Simon was putting her down like this, just because he wanted to get off his chest as losing an important project on her. He deliberately used Wayne to deny her, to find a reasonable excuse to vent his anger. However, Wayne seemed to take what he said seriously.

“I don’t want to say too much.” Simon said directly, “My own feeling is that I certainly don’t approve her to be the future vice-president of the Group, cause she has no capacity to up to such an important position. We haven’t hired an external vice-president before, cause it’s usually a member of the Cooper family. But rules are fixed, not man. Currently, it’s difficult to single out a Cooper family member to take responsibility. So I personally suggest that we should recruit a vice-president.”

“I agree.” A shareholders said. Others started to vote by raising their hands.

“I agree, too. The company shouldn’t shut down just because the Cooper family has no abilities!”

“Yes. You shouldn’t be the dog in the manger.”
