My Child and I Married a Billionaire novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225: Chapter 225: A Work Group

Shane Grant wasn’t in the best of health, but once he put on a crisp shirt and a tailored suit, he cut an impressively sharp figure.

Walking into the company with his assistant and Cecelia Archer, Shane Grant felt a wave of desolation wash over him.

The atmosphere at the company used to be so positive and vibrant, bustling with energy.

But in less than a month, what had it become?

Many workstations were empty. The employees who were at their desks looked listless, and seemed to be slacking off.

When they saw him walk in unexpectedly, they looked startled and hurriedly turned on their computers.

He suddenly felt he had been letting love cloud his judgment.

If a man wants to be with a woman, he shouldn’t try to lock her away and keep her from all other men.

Instead, he should continuously display his own charm, so that even if she meets others, she won’t have the slightest interest in them.

’I must have been muddled by my illness,’ he thought. ’To think I was ready to throw away my career just to keep Cecelia Archer by my side.’

Having come to this realization, Shane Grant entered the conference room in high spirits.

Lately, the executives and shareholders had grown pessimistic about the company’s future. Some were planning to go their own way, preparing to withdraw their investments bit by bit, while some executives had even started sending out their resumes.

They hadn’t expected Shane Grant to suddenly return and call a meeting. Weren’t the rumors that he was on his last legs?

Shane Grant first greeted everyone, then got straight to the point.

"Let’s not waste any time. I’ll begin. I’ve called you all here today to announce something. This is Luna Linden, the president of my newly established public relations department. From now on, you will all address her as President Linden."

Everyone was utterly confused. ’The company is in this state, and he’s creating a new department? And appointing a new president? Has he lost his mind?!’

Shane Grant continued, "President Linden is extremely capable. She has just joined our company and has already secured a major deal for us. Starting tomorrow, we will be taking over the International Airport project jointly with the Vaughn Group."

What? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then the conference room erupted.

"President Grant, is this true? The Vaughn Group is actually going to partner with us? This is..."

Everyone looked at the young, slender woman with a newfound sense of admiration.

Shane Grant seized the opportunity to establish Cecelia Archer’s authority.

"This is all thanks to President Linden’s efforts. Therefore, once the project is established, she will take the lead. All departments must cooperate with her work unconditionally."

After the meeting, Shane Grant had his assistant process Cecelia Archer’s onboarding at the company, rush-ordered a personal seal for her, and then handed her his own presidential seal as well.

"Since this is what you want to do, go for it with everything you’ve got. From now on, I’ll stay home, rest up, and look after the kids. You can be the breadwinner."

Cecelia Archer was overjoyed that day.

Early the next morning, Ryan gave her a call.

"Miss Linden. At eight o’clock, please bring the relevant managers from Grant Group to our main conference room for a meeting. Don’t be late."

Cecelia was grateful that Ryan was pretending not to know her. "Got it."

At eight o’clock sharp, Cecelia Archer sat at the conference table, accompanied by several senior managers from Grant Properties.

Likewise, Damien Vaughn appeared right on time with his senior managers from Vaughn Properties.

Yesterday, Damien Vaughn had held a meeting to announce the partnership with Grant Group. The team at Vaughn Properties was initially unhappy, but Damien had shut them down with a single sharp retort.

"If you’re all so capable, then why have you consistently been one-upped by Grant Properties? If I hadn’t pushed so hard for this project, could you have really secured it on your own? Are you all so certain that you have the ability to handle this project perfectly and not bring shame to the Vaughn name?"

No one dared to speak after that.
