Chapter 162: Victoria’s Despair!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Victoria’s excitement instantly vanished!
She initially thought that today would be the start of everything good, but she didn’t expect to be dismissed on her first day in the new company.
Stella looked at Victoria with a guilty expression and asked, “Victoria, did you offend the Huxleys?”
Stella had been busy with her cosmetics company, so she was previously unclear about Victoria’s predicament in Ace Corporation.
Victoria instantly understood what was going on. It turned out to be Cayden’s doing.
“I’m sorry, Victoria. I can’t help it. There’s no way this small company of ours can defeat the Huxleys.”
Stella apologized to Victoria guiltily.
Victoria smiled and said, “It’s okay, Stella, I don’t blame you. If I were you, I’d probably do the same thing.”
“I’ll get going then. Let’s have afternoon tea together some other time.”
Victoria maintained her good manners and got up to leave.
After leaving the building and returning to her car, Victoria did not have time to sulk in sorrow and immediately picked up her cell phone to make a call.
Having carved a career alone in the business world for seven years, coupled with the fact that she had risen to the position of president of a listed company, she naturally had a lot of contacts.
In fact, Stella Cosmetics was not at all the best company she could work in.
She merely chose to work there because she was close to Stella.
Several online literature companies, music platform companies, film companies, and video content companies invited Victoria to join them.
“Mr. Jones, you said previously that if I were to come to New York City, you would give me the role of deputy president. Does it still stand now?”
“Yes, yes, I’m already in New York City. When are you free? I’ll come and have a chat with you, alright?”
Victoria first called a listed online video company named Genie.
However, in the past two years, the company has been incurring financial losses. Last year, it lost close to two billion dollars.
With only two or three video websites left on the market, and the increasing membership prices of the other companies, Victoria knew that making profits was just a matter of time.
The future prospects of this company were excellent.
Arriving at the Innovation Center building where the company was located, the company’s CEO, Linus Jones, personally received Victoria at the reception room of the office.
“Ah, since the last time we parted, I’ve been looking forward to meeting you again, Miss Clarke.”
“Seriously, I even dreamed of you last night!”
“Who knew that you’d coincidentally contact me bright early this morning and ask to work at my company. Haha, don’t you think it’s fate?”
Victoria and Linus had previously had dinner in Orlando, which was also where they knew each other.
Due to Victoria’s unique aura and her flair for coaxing those tycoons, Linus took a fancy to Victoria after they met each other once.
Victoria smiled and said, “Who said it’s not? I already had a hunch during the meal we had the other time that I’d definitely work for you someday, Mr. Jones.”
“Haha, sure! Sure! Alright!”
Linus grinned happily. With such a beautiful deputy president like Victoria, he would definitely enjoy work every day.
“Victoria, you used to work in Ace Corporation, which has nothing to do with Internet technology after all. I have to test your knowledge in video websites!”
Linus naturally wouldn’t choose a random person to hold an essential position in the company. He wouldn’t be able to convince the majority of the other employees either.
Victoria was naturally more than just a pretty face. She had a thorough understanding of many industries, especially Internet companies.
Over the past seven years, she had learned a lot when having frequent meals with the big bosses of these industries.
After a long chat, Linus exclaimed in awe, “There is no one as beautiful and capable as you in the whole of this city. Welcome on board!”
“I’ll convene a board meeting immediately to announce this matter!”
“Thank you, Mr. Jones!”
