Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 375

On the eighth day of the New Year, many companies began to resume work.

Except for a few executives who were not in place, the employees of IP&G Group returned to the company on time excitedly.

Today was the first day they worked in the New Year, so everyone was especially energetic.

At the first morning meeting of the company, the directors in charge of businesses in North America and the Asia-Pacific regions took turns to make speeches on this year's performance plan.

In the 100-square-meter conference room, the managers, inspectors and directors of various projects kept applauding for the lofty goals set in the new year.

“We are confident that we will achieve this year's high target and strive to exceed last year's growth rate at 32% by the end of this year!"

"Okay!"

There was thunderous applause, and everyone present was very excited.

However, they also noticed that Patrick, who was sitting in the middle of the conference room, seemed to be absent-minded all the time.

According to the custom of previous years, Patrick would go on stage and briefly summarize at the end of the meeting.

But he seemed not to have such a mood today.

"Proceed with your work as planned."

He stood up and looked around.

His grim and serious expression met the expectant eyes of his subordinates.

After he said these words calmly, Patrick walked straight out of the conference room.

Several regional directors in the conference room looked at each other puzzled.

They had worked with Patrick for many years and knew very well that although Mr.Hopkins always had a lukewarm attitude, he would not let personal feelings influence work, but he seemed to be laden with anxiety today.

Patrick returned to his office on the top floor.

On the wall-mounted high- end TV, international news was broadcast.

He focused his eyes on the news and frowned, indicating he was really worried about something.

All the secretaries had returned to work.

The senior chief secretary knocked on the door as usual, then walked in with a few documents in her hands, and was about to report to him.

The secretary cast a glance at the international news broadcast and found it was all about Switzerland.

Before being qualified as a top secretary of IP&G Group, one needed to pass a lot of tests, which naturally included EQ test.

The secretary found that Patrick was so absorbed in the news that he didn't notice her coming in.

The secretary stood aside and waited quietly for the CEO to finish reading the news without disturbing him.

When the news reported that there might be a heavy snowstorm in Switzerland recently, Patrick couldn't help but turn around and walk towards his desk.

He grabbed his phone and was about to call someone.

When he turned around, Patrick noticed with a little surprise that the secretary had been waiting here for a while.

The beautiful secretary took the initiative to say, "Mr.Hopkins, here are two contracts from abroad which you need to check and sign as soon as possible."

"Put them down first"

He didn't even look at the documents.

The cald tone obviously intended to drive her away.

The secretary already knew Patrick's cold temper very well.

She did not dare to add anything more and put down documents swiftly, simply nodding at him and helping close the door.

"Here comes the first piece of news this year.Our boss may be planning to invest in the Swiss market..."

As soon as the door was closed, the women began a heated discussion.

There were more than 20 people in the secretarial office and they were all world-famous university graduates and elites in the sector.

Nevertheless, they were all gossipy, especially about the news of the head of IP&G Group, who was right next door to them.

All news related to Patrick would become the object of their discussion for ten days and nights.

"That's impossible.I hear that our boss was uninterested in the meeting this morning, and the company's main market has always been in North America..."

"It definitely has something to do with Switzerland!"

The chief secretary was very confident.

"Although I don't know which company our boss is interested in, we have to gain the upper hand first by buying the shares of Swiss corporations.After the successful acquisition of them, shares will definitely soar..."
