Everyone present was happy when they heard the first half of what Scarlett said. But what Scarlett said next made their expression change suddenly.
Mr. Maddox, who was on the same side as Mr. Maston, said in disbelief, "Ms. Reed, you are wrong. When a company is not developing well, sometimes it may not be the decision maker's fault. Tenton suffered losses when Mr. Shaw took over it, but now Tenton is ahead of its peers."
Scarlett looked at Mr. Lambert and said slowly, "You mean you are not capable of ensuring the development of Tenton all the time, right? You think I am not senior enough to take the position of chairman. Well, I can step aside. As the largest shareholder of Tenton, I want the new chairman to ensure the development of Tenton. I don't think I'm asking too much, right?"
"But if you think that I am asking too much, then I will take the chairmanship. Like I said, if Tenton has any loss during my management period, I am willing to give you three times the amount of compensation."
Mr. Maston said indifferently with a cold face, "Ms. Reed, you are arrogant. It is true that the younger generation will surpass the older. I wonder how long Tenton will develop under your management."
Scarlett smiled and said, "Since Mr. Maston is so curious, I think you have no problem with me being the next chairman of Tenton.
Scarlett paused for a moment and said, " Then let's vote."
Mr. Maston was so angry that he left directly. Naturally, the others didn’t dare to have any other objections.
Scarlett had so many shares of Tenton. Voting was just a formality.
The final result was predictable. Scarlett became the chairman of Tenton overwhelmingly.
Just after Scarlett came out from Tenton in the afternoon, a group of reporters gathered around.
"Ms. Reed, may I ask what is the current status of Mr. Shaw?"
"Ms. Reed, I heard that you were elected as the chairman of Tenton today.
Congratulations! There is a rumor that Mr.
Shaw's accident has something to do with you. You took revenge on Mr. Shaw because of the things he did to you back then. What do you think about this rumor?"
"Ms. Reed, someone said that Mr. Shaw fell into the river. Was it true?"
One question was sharper than the other. The smile on Scarlett's face disappeared.
She looked at Frank beside her and said," Frank, confirm the identity of the reporters at the scene and ask the company's legal department to prepare a lawyer's letter for them."
These reporters would do everything in order to publish topics that could arouse heated discussion on the Internet. Scarlett did not want to say a word to them.
Fortunately, Alexis drove over at this time.
