She is a CEO by George Chapman novel Chapter 5

Lucia, a graduate of MIT's Department of Finance and Economics, had won various prizes over the past four years, and her papers had been featured in prestigious journals.

And her resume was far more than that. The slides showed the global economic seminars she attended with her mentor, which made people present feel inadequate. In the USA, she was known as a genius!

When the slides of her resume switched to the last one, Lucia proudly looked at the crowd. Her calm and soft voice said, "I am here because I am competent and talented! Miss Powell, if you have any objections or dissatisfaction with me, feel free to go to headquarters to complain about me."

Poppy's face turned red with embarrassment.

She tried to make a fool of Lucia, but the resume made her look amazing instead.

Suppressing her anger, Poppy feigned calm, "Just MIT? Anyway, you're still a corporate slave! You are competent? What a funny joke!"

Poppy's words offended a lot of people.

"Mrs. Taylor, is it a shame to graduate from MIT? We never think that the degree would be a stigma!"

"Mrs. Taylor, what key university did you graduate from to make you so arrogant? JTP Group is indeed strong, but it is attributed to Jacob's efforts. You're just Jacob's accessory! Who gave you the gall to be so offensive!"

There was a barrage of criticism for Poppy's rudeness. It seemed that Poppy had totally irritated those intellectuals, who were well aware that how difficult it was to get a degree that they could be proud of.

The smile froze on Poppy's face. Outnumbered, she was at a loss for what to say.

Seeing that Poppy became the target of public criticism, Lucia pressed on, "Miss Powell, you're welcome if you're here for cooperation, but it's not a place for you to make a scene. Security! Please send Miss Powell out. If she resists, you can call the police!"

She suddenly talked harshly like a leader.

Poppy was well aware that the misstep she made sent her at a disadvantage. She racked her brains but could not figure out a way to discredit Lucia. Swallowing her saliva, and keeping her cool, she said arrogantly, "Lucia, you are truly capable now! Putting on airs just after you became the executive? Let me tell you. I can get the former executive to quit. I can also put you through it! Wait and see!"

With his face white and green, she left in anger. She took two steps and suddenly stopped, turning her head with a smug smile, "I almost forgot it. Since you're back, don't forget to attend the third wedding anniversary of me and Jacob."

The third anniversary, huh? Time sped by!

It seemed that they purposely chose to get married two years after she left, to avoid going down the scandal of having an affair.

Lucia was a bit dazed when she was pondering. Poppy captured the change and finally got the confidence. "You are married, right? I'm wondering if your husband knows you are a slut. Tsk, who is so stupid to marry you?"

Knowing that Poppy verbally abused her to get some pleasure, Lucia preferred not to answer Poppy's provoking questions. Instead, she laughed. "Miss Powell, thank you for inviting me."

Her generosity posed a sharp contrast to Poppy's narrow mind.

Suddenly, Poppy felt discouraged and even embarrassed as if her fist had been punched on cotton.

Poppy snorted and stepped on high heels, waggling and leaving in rage.

The troublemaker that spoiled the fun was finally gone.

Lucia pretended as if nothing had happened just now, calmly introduced herself, and her future plans for the company. Her composure and calmness convinced everyone present.

The speech ended with thunderous applause.

Everyone had a miserable past. Lucia was not an exception. As they were impressed by Lucia, naturally, they would not leak her scandal.

Lucia was dealing with the management calmly, but at the same time, Poppy's words came to her mind. Attend their third wedding anniversary? She was not crazy, okay? There was no point in attending it.

Leaving Jibillion Inc, Poppy walked in and cursed.
