In the senior meeting room, there gathered all the company's cadre employees and Susan Phillips, whose position didn't matter much.
Susan sat around and listened to her father analyzing the current situation with a straight face, which sounded quite serious. Sadly, it couldn't strike a chord with her because she'd never devoted herself to her job.
Her eyes swept around the meeting room, and she found everyone was wearing a serious face. And finally, she kept her eyes on Manuel, who was sitting next to her father.
Compared with the others, Manuel looked extraordinarily composed.
He listened carefully to Edward narrating the effects, which International Sway Bank might bring on Phillips Bank after it entered the market here, and from time to time, he lowered his head to mark the keywords. He hadn't uttered a word from the beginning, whereas others sighed with emotion from now and then, showing their concerns about the company's current situation.
Henry was one of those many others. He looked anxiety-ridden and glanced at Manuel frequently, intentionally or otherwise.
To sum up, the arrival of Sway Bank would surely bring a big impact on Phillips, which meant they would start a competition in taking up market shares. As a result, Phillips Bank's turnover for the year would drop sharply.
Manuel had promised in front of all the senior leaders that he would increase Phillips Bank's turnover by 50% within half a year. There were only two months left. Probably, Manuel would fail to keep his promise.
At the thought of it, Henry was very excited inside. He couldn't wait to see the day when Manuel had to pay for his bold words.
Suddenly, he noticed that Susan was looking at Manuel.
For a long time, he'd got a feeling that Susan drifted apart from him and she had kept him at an arm's distance. It seemed that she didn't love him as much as before.
Henry clenched his fists. The first thing he would do after he kicked Manuel out of the company was to marry Susan, he thought.
As long as Manuel left the company and he married Susan, he'd have Phillips Bank sooner or later, not to mention his shares in Phillips Group.
If it weren't for Edward, his family wouldn't have died. So, he had good reasons to do anything to the Phillips family.
"I think all of you've got it." Edward gave a detailed explanation of Sway Bank and continued, "We're gonna have a long tough time! I hope all of you can go all out to face up to it just like I do. Sway Bank would have a difficult time developing in Kensbury City if it didn't have a good beginning. So, all of us should do our jobs well and no one should idle around."
Everyone took their stands immediately.
For the first time, Susan admired the way her father handles the situation.
She used to think Edward was obsessed with Justine and had lost himself in her charm, thus, she had shown contempt for him. But now, she found her father's charisma as a leader in the workplace.
After the pep talk, Edward assigned the work and got ready to leave the meeting room.
"Mr Chairman," One of the board members spoke.
