“I…”
Darrion felt troubled. Apart from recruiting his own people into the company, he would hand all his work to other shareholders. He had no idea what they had done over the years.
He became flustered while Silvia stared at him. He also subconsciously lowered his head with guilt.
“Mr. Torres, are you unable to answer me or refusing to answer me?”
No matter which option he chose, he would definitely fall into Silvia’s trap. Anger crossed his face.
“Miss Pond, you know that I’m not good at managing the company. Aren’t you purposely putting me in a tight spot?”
There was a cold glint in Silvia’s eyes, but she spoke with a straight face, “Mr. Torres, since you realize that you’re not skilled at managing a company, it doesn’t seem appropriate for you to tell me what to do.”
Darrion could not refute her.
Meanwhile, Dulcie had a document for Silvia to sign. When she arrived at the office, she saw Darrion storm out. He left without greeting her.
She pushed the door open and walked in. When she saw Silvia casually reading some documents, she curiously asked, “What did you say to Darrion? He looked upset when he left just now.”
Silvia did not raise her head. She continued reading as she said, “He’s unhappy because I fired his relatives. How can I help you?”
Dulcie handed the document to Silvia and said, “This contract needs your signature today. Please take a look. If you’re okay with it, please sign it and pass it back to me.”
“Please ask the HR Department to recruit two secretaries for me—one man and one woman.” Silvia took the documents and said indifferently.
“Okay. I’ll put the HR Department on it now.”
After Silvia read through the document, she found no issues with it. She signed it before she looked at Dulcie and asked, “Oh yeah, what is the company’s capital shortfall now?”
Dulcie remained silent for a few seconds and answered with a troubled expression, “At least fifty million dollars.”
Silvia frowned. “Okay, I got it. You can carry on with your work.”
After Dulcie left, Silvia checked the remaining amount of money that she could use. It was just slightly over fifty million dollars.
She called the staff of the Finance Department over. Then, she transferred the fifty million dollars to the company account. “I’m loaning this money to the company. The company can pay me back at the end of the year once the dividend is paid,” she said aloofly.
“Okay, Miss Pond.”
After the staff left, Silvia continued reading the other documents.
Darrion lost his temper in his office. He could not accept things as they were. He hesitated for a long time before he gave Sigwald Reed a call.
“Mr. Reed, are you free at noon? Let’s have lunch together.”
The moment Sigwald walked into the private room at noon, Darrion stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, “Mr. Reed, please have a seat!”
Sigwald was all smiles. After he sat down, he looked at Darrion and said, “Mr. Torres, you invited me to have lunch so far away from the company. I guess there’s something really important.”
Darrion had a pleasing smile as he nodded and said, “You know me so well, Mr. Reed. You’re probably aware that Miss Pond took action against me this morning, right?”
Sigwald took a sip of coffee before he calmly said, “Mr. Torres, that is just Miss Pond’s strategic plan for the company’s next phase of development. It’s very normal to fire a few people in the process.”
Besides, Darrion’s relatives knew nothing about work and just dawdled around every day. Sigwald did not see a problem with the firing.
Darrion chuckled awkwardly. “You’re right, Mr. Reed. But do you think that Miss Pond will only fire my subordinates?”
Sigwald held the cup more tightly, but he did not answer.
Darrion resumed, “Mr. Reed, I’ve always thought that you were the most capable among the shareholders. Even if Miss Pond holds the most shares, she’s young and more impulsive. I would prefer to have you manage MY Corporation.”
“What are you trying to say?”
