Those who could attend the shareholders meeting were either super big bosses like Jasper and Conrad, senior executives like Benjamin, or someone outside of the system like Dwayne.
To put it bluntly, they were all people who had inner qualities and class.
If they must compare, Henry had the highest status of them all.
The profanities that came out of his mouth were not only awkward and hilarious, but they also made one imagine things.
Most people subconsciously imagined Henry commanding a group of men to drag a middle-aged man to a cesspit…
Benjamin’s eyes turned crimson with anger, but what Conrad said next forced him to stifle his anger abruptly.
“That’s enough. Shall we begin now, Mr. Martin?”
Conrad darted Benjamin a cold glance as he spoke. The look in his eyes was obvious.
Conrad had hinted at Benjamin earlier to provoke Jasper, but not only did he fail to accomplish his task, but he was also cursed and berated by Henry.
Even though Benjamin was the one who got berated, everyone knew that Benjamin was his subordinate, so he was also humiliated by extension. Naturally, Conrad was unhappy about it.
Dwayne cleared his throat and walked to the head of the table before announcing loudly, “Today, Jasper Laine, the shareholder representing JW Investment Company, will be the initiator in Skyward Aluminum’s shareholders meeting.
“Official participants include Mr. Jasper Laine, chairman of JW Investment Company; Mr. Conrad Monty, chairman of Skyward Aluminium Co., Ltd; Mr. Colin Walter, general manager of Southeast Province Mining Co., Ltd.
“And myself, Dwayne Martin, director of the Market Management Office of the Securities Regulatory Commission.
“Next, as the retail investors’ representative and the supervisor of the Securities Regulatory Commission, I will preside over this shareholders meeting along with a consultant who will record the meeting. We will be fully present in this shareholders’ meeting.
“If there is any objection regarding my position as a notary, please raise it immediately; if there is no objection, then I announce that the shareholders’ meeting will officially begin.”
As Dwayne said those words, he paused for a moment to wait for anyone who might want to raise objections regarding his identity. Though, of course, no one would.
