Chapter 111
da glanced about the room and stared at Steven. Then she slowly opened his mouth and asked, “What do you mean, Mr. Sanders?”
Steven said, “You have to prove your capability by doing some real stuff. How about this? 30 percent. If the company’s revenues increase by 30% in one year, you will be CEO. Every one of us here will be convinced. Otherwise, I’m afraid no one will have faith in you.”
As soon as Steven finished his words, everyone waited for an interesting drama.
Everyone thought it was almost impossible to increase the revenues by 30% because even Patrick never managed to achieve that.
So, it was obvious that Steven was deliberately making things difficult for Gilda!
Eric couldn’t help retorting. “Mr. Sanders, you and I both know that it’s not really easy for an international corporation like Glory Corporation to increase its revenues by even 10%. How could you say 30%? What are you up to?”
But none of the other directors dared to speak up for Gilda!
Steven didn’t take it seriously and laughed, “Only this can prove her ability! If she can achieve this goal, not only me but also all the other directors will have no problem with her appointment as the new CEO.”
Eric shouted furiously, “You!”
However, Gilda stopped Eric and looked up at Steven calmly.
Gilda asked, “Mr. Sanders, are you serious?”
Steven stretched out his arms. “Of course! Ms. Lynch, dare you respond to this challenge?”
Gilda smiled and said, “Mr. Sanders, since you have said so, it seems that I have to. But…”
Gilda paused and the conference room was instantly in an uproar.
People talked about it non–stop. “She dares to respond to this challenge! Does she know what 30% really means?”
*30% means that the company’s business must be expanded by one third and the profits need to be
doubled.”
“She will never manage to do that!”
“Alas, she’s too young and too fearless.”
Steven smiled with contempt. “What do you want to say, Ms. Lynch? Tell us.”

Steven didn’t expect Gilda to be so gullible. He was just thinking about how to set her up when she took
the bait.
Steven laughed. “Okay, Ms. Lynch. Let’s put a bet on it.”
Gilda said calmly, “Okay! What are you betting on?”
Steven said, “Ms. Lynch, if you fail to increase the revenue by 30% within one year, you will resign and the CEO will be elected by the board.”
