After Joye rested at home for three days, she hurriedly returned to work in Leonard Group.
Linda could tell that her face was still pale, she could not help but express her concern. “President Leonard, health is wealth. You look very tired.”
“I can stand it. Look, Janina has bought me ten nourishing tonic soups. She gave me so much that I think that I have gotten fatter.”
She smiled as she patted the hot tumbler beside her. She had already asked Sherry to return to the Richard family. As of that moment, she was pretty much living on takeout.
At the thought of the child in her womb, she was full of strength.
She needed to get the Leonard Group back on track before her stomach swelled up too much, only then could she go abroad peacefully.
"But..."
“Don’t worry, I am fine. Inform the executives of all the departments as well as the staff of the design department to go to the conference room for a meeting, it will start in an hour and a half.”
Before Linda could finish talking, Joye had already raised her head and interrupted with a smile. Linda and Janina were quietly worried about her. She knew it too, it was just that they have never experienced what she had gone through before. A woman should be strong when she was weak. She had never been a weak person, but now, for the sake of the child in her womb, she had to be stronger.
“Okay, I will go and inform them.”
After half an hour, the conference room was filled with her employees. There were senior executives and general managers from various departments. Tiffany and Damian sat on both sides of Janina. Fortunately, she could still control the situation, and she did not embarrass herself too much.
“Since everyone is here, let’s begin. The main purpose of today’s meeting is to talk about the progress of the market. I hope that the company’s listing date can be pushed forward to next month.”
“What? President, is this a joke? Going public next month is suicide.”
Tiffany spread her hands, her face was filled with resistance. Even though she liked money, she would never sacrifice her time for money, nor would she let herself become a fool who only knew how to trade her time and effort for money.
When Damian saw that she was looking in his direction, he said, “I don’t have any problems.”
“Damian, you are deliberately going against me, aren’t you!”
“I'm not that lame. If you can’t do it, it means that you are not able enough.”
When Joye noticed that they were about to start an argument, she quickly interrupted them, “Calm down, both of you. I know that it is difficult to complete this request, but I hope that the company can be listed sooner. How about this? If we can go public next month, everyone can take a month off with double pay.
What do you think?”
Everyone looked at each other. After all, the workload was the same, they could even get double the pay and a holiday. Of course, they were willing to do that.
"President Leonard, we have no objections."
Some people started to express their stance. They spoke one after the other, after a short while, only Tiffany was left.
“Don’t look at me. Since none of you have any objections, I am fine with it too. Besides, I can’t let some incompetent people take my place.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Damian, who was sitting opposite of her.
“Great, I am looking forward to your results. That’s all for today.”
Joye left the conference room. She was about to go back to her office but was stopped by Tiffany.
“I can work overtime, and I am fine with the company going public in advance. However, shouldn’t you give us a reason? Why does it seem like you are in a hurry?”
Joye looked at Tiffany and smiled faintly. “Because I want to have a long vacation.”
Since Shawn thought that her child was gone, she could continue to carry on the act so that the child in her womb could forever be hers.
“Okay, I don’t have any objections to that reason. Don’t forget that if we do better than expected, you have to give me a huge gift.”
"Sure, no problem."
After sending Tiffany off, Joye turned towards Linda and asked, “Have you noticed that Janina has been exceptionally quiet today?”
"You are right, that seems like the case."
