My Killing President novel Chapter 644

Right after she said that, the room was pin drop silence.

No one expected a woman to be so assertive.

They looked at each other and didn't dare to speak. Director Lee was the one that felt the most heat. He had tried so hard to finally grab his chance to be the president. But all of a sudden this Annabelle had completely devastated his plans!

He looked at her and gripped his fist tightly, "Annabelle, do you really think you are the president of Yun Rui now?"

Annabelle looked at him and sneered, "Do you think you are the one that make the calls? Director Lee, if you have more shares than me, I will hand over the position right now!"

"You…!"

"But if you don't have, I think you should just respect the rules!" Annabelle exuded her charisma when she enunciated her reply.

Director Lee had a sour expression, "I will never agree to this. If you are determined to do this, then I'm afraid I might not be able to work in the near future!"

Annabelle looked at him in vex. She knew that he was trying to strong-arm her with a strike.

At that moment, the secretary opened the door. Everyone turned their head back and looked at the door. The secretary said, "Miss Xia, the president of Rong Le Group wants to see you!"

At that time, Kaleb Hua walked inside and Hua followed after him.

Kaleb Hua simply swept his glanced through the crowd. The man carried an intense and pressuring presence. Everyone in the board was intimidated by him.

"Mr. Kaleb?" Annabelle looked at him with a frown. She didn't know his intention of coming here during such moment.

Kaleb Hua looked at them with his hands behind his back. He scanned around and smiled, "I'm here to hasten the collaboration between Yun Rui and my company!"

Once he said that, director Lee's lips curled up in contempt. He looked at Annabelle and wanted to see how she humiliates herself.

Annabelle didn't speak. She simply stared at Kaleb Hua and waited for him to finish.

"I am regretful to hear what happened to president Mu. However, the collaboration will not be postponed. Therefore…" He turned his head over and looked at Annabelle, "I wanted Miss Xia to be the one that oversees and handle this project. I also have one prerequisite, that she must be Yun Rui's acting president!"

Right after he said that, director Lee's face turned completely black.

He wasn't here to create trouble but to help Annabelle!? Director Lee's eyebrows furrowed deeply and his face twisted in rage.

"We have so many competent people in the company, why must it be her?" Director Lee asked in vex.

"When I was discussing this project with president Mu, Miss Xia was present. I believe no one else could be better suited than her to take charge of this project!" Kaleb Hua answered nonchalantly. After that, he added, "If you can't satisfy my condition, then I will end this contract. As for Yun Rui being unable to deliver within the contractual time, it need to compensate a liquidated damage five times the contractual sum!"

Once he said that, everyone was stunned.

The contractual sum was few tens of millions, and five times of it would be in the hundred millions. The company wouldn't be able to suffer this kind of loss.

Now that Alistair wasn't around, their operation wasn't doing as good. Even the share prices were dropping. If they were to have a hundred million debt, the company might be put at risk.

Therefore, director Lee had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

At that time, someone spoke up, "Director Lee, if that's the case, let's get Miss Xia to take charge!"

"I agree. Miss Xia was most familiar with the project. It is only appropriate to hand her the task!"

"Jack and the secretary will assist her. I don't think they will be any problem. Not only that, Miss Xia came from an esteemed family. Although she was as a designer here, she had management background!"

"I agree!"

The tide was turned and everyone was agreeable with Annabelle taking up the role of acting president.

Annabelle simply stood there quietly. She looked at the crowd and didn't say anything.

At that time, director Ji stood up and said, "I agree for Miss Xia to assume the role of acting president!"

After director Ji came forward, more members of the board spoke, "I agree!"

"I agree as well!"

It was obvious that the majority was supporting Annabelle.

When director Lee saw that the majority of the members supported Annabelle, he knew that he would no longer have his supporters if he were to protest. Finally, he fumed, "Since the president of Rong Le came personally, there is nothing more to say!"

After saying that, he glared at Annabelle, "Miss Xia, I hope you will be doing this project properly. Do not disappoint us!" After saying that, he harrumphed and turned around to leave the room.

Annabelle stood there with a straight posture. She didn't say anything from the beginning till the end.

Finally, the meeting was over and the members left one by one.

In the coffee house downstairs.

Annabelle and Kaleb Hua sat together. Annabelle had a grim expression.

"Mr. Kaleb, thank you for coming today!" Annabelle thanked him.

Kaleb Hua looked at her and smiled, "That was nothing. Moreover, I trust you and Alistair. That doesn't mean I can trust the rest of the people in Yun Rui!"

Annabelle forced a smile on her face.

Kaleb Hua looked at her and said, "Your face is pale, did you not rest well last night?"

Annabelle lowered her head and's stared at her cup of coffee. She answered absent-mindedly, "We still don't have any news on the plane. How could I rest well?"
