Elisa shook her head. "We are all in the same company, so I can't only think about my interest and not find ways to improve the company's standing. I apologize for being direct but judging from the present situation, Benett Corporation is in a state of decline. I fear the company will slowly die if we don't bring in new projects to remedy the situation."
Elisa's words were the truth, and everyone was aware of this. It was hard not to be mindful of this when the company's income had dropped significantly.
However…
No one dared to offend the chairman, so their only choice was to find a way to reverse this. Unfortunately, no one could bring up the matter because of how the chairman was.
If Elisa began this jewelry project and marketed it with her reputation as Rene, it would be easy for the company to grow to another level.
Therefore, everyone suddenly became filled with anticipation. They looked forward to seeing Elisa surprise them with her abilities.
Norman's face turned sullen. How dare she say the company is in decline? She is humiliating me before everyone! How am I to face them now?
Linda was furious and desperately wanted to snap back at Elisa.
She hesitated before saying, "Elisa, we know how skilled you are, but you don't know how to lead a company. You have no idea how competitive businesses are nowadays. Previously, the company could keep growing as there was less competition in the same industry. There weren't many companies around then."
Elisa pursed her lips and smiled tauntingly. "Is that so?"
Linda gritted her teeth. Of course, it is! What other reasons are there? This b*tch now dares to get my father into trouble! Where did she get all that courage?
Elisa answered calmly, "If it were merely competition from companies in the same field, it would still be understandable. However…"
At this point, she suddenly turned to Linda before expressing, "What if it was due to selfish desires? If you hadn't threatened to refuse collaboration with Wickam Group over the wedding, why would the collaboration profits drop so significantly?"
Linda panicked and argued urgently, "That was because Wickam Group wished to withdraw. They must have engaged a new team."
"Even so, you didn't have to give us false promises. Your reason also doesn't explain why the profit dropped so drastically. The Wickam family is prominent and cares about its reputation. Must you be coming up with excuses for them?"
"You…" Linda's jaw clenched tightly.
Everyone in the meeting room was shocked.
Elisa rarely talked about company matters. No one expected her to bring out the issues directly.
Regarding the matter Elisa brought up, even those supporting Norman were dissatisfied. If Norman had not threatened Wickam Group with the collaboration, the company's profit, or at least this year's profit, from the cooperation with Wickam Group would not have plummeted.
Then, the gains from Elisa and Gareth's project would not have been even better. Back then, everyone only dared to express their dissatisfaction toward Norman implicitly. After all, he was the chairman.
No one expected Elisa to speak openly about it.
It was satisfying to listen to her sensible retorts.
Norman's expression darkened further. "Liz, are you saying you're unhappy with how I manage the company?"
He sounded as if he had been wronged. One could also hear a hint of anger.
Everyone, including those on Norman's side, looked at Elisa with the same thoughts in their minds.
Elisa, please don't back down!
Everyone anticipated her response.
