Chapter 1457 Stealing His Thunder

Watching the cooperative dialogue between his half-brother and half-sister, Long Hui scowled even harder. He was having a difficult time controlling his expression.

He didn't believe that his half-siblings didn't coordinate this proposal together beforehand. He suspected that they did this today to undermine him.

In fact, Long Hui's suspicion was completely wrong. Iris and Long Jian didn't coordinate today's proposal at all.

Iris had no idea that Long Jian would make this proposal beforehand. He was the one who went ahead and created the proposal by himself. He got the idea after hearing Iris' actions of providing the Marketing Department with nice lunches and drawing the envy of other departments including his own.

Of course, he only submitted the idea after asking the opinion of his immediate superior, the COO, who gave him the go-ahead.

Iris stepping up today was just an impromptu reaction to the series of events. Although they didn't practice it beforehand, the two had a tacit understanding to cooperate in order to mutually strengthen both their influence in the company while at the same time weakening Long Hui's prestige.

"As you've already noticed, I'm in favour of Deputy COO Long Jian's proposal," Iris said.

Long Hui interrupted, "Well, I am NOT in favour of this proposal at all. As the deputy of the Finance Department, I know that we don't have the budget for this. Other more important projects need funding more than a cafeteria!"

Most of the executives nodded at his words.

The company budget had already been allocated at the beginning of the year. It was not convenient to allocate another budget to a cafeteria. They didn't think that it was as important as what Long Jian and Iris were trying to claim.

As executives, they could always ask their assistants to order food from their favourite high-class restaurants whenever they wanted if they didn't want to eat at the company cafeteria. They didn't care much about what the employees ate.

Iris shot Long Hui and others who nodded with a cold smile.

"I knew you might say that. That's why I decided to donate a new cafeteria to the company, not as the Deputy CMO but as the daughter of President Long Tengfei. I'll use my own money, not the company funds, so nobody can complain. If some people still dare complain, then just treat it as President Long's daughter's selfish motives because she doesn't want to eat subpar food at the company's cafeteria. I, Long Xiulan, want to eat better and healthier food whenever I come here to work. I'm a celebrity and need to watch my figure all the time. What the current cafeteria currently offers falls short of my strict diet requirements. If you don't like it, then don't eat in the cafeteria I'll donate."

Long Hui opened his mouth to refute her words but nothing came out. He closed his mouth again in a huff.

Long Jian was also surprised by her sudden decision to donate a new cafeteria. This wasn't part of his plans. He was ready to fight for company funds but now it seemed that it was no longer necessary to do so. Initially, he wanted the full credit to belong to him. Now, however, the credit would be halved between him and Iris.

No, if things went according to her way, then most of the credit would belong to her. Long Jian didn't know exactly how to feel about it.

He pursed his lips and took a long look at his youngest half-sister. She might be impulsive, but she was also extremely cunning.

She was able to steal his thunder under his nose. Lesson learned. Next time, he would be more careful in protecting his credit.

Iris smiled and nodded. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
