After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 380 Smug, Wayne Has His Plan

The atmosphere in the conference room had become stiff ever since the voices of doubt.

Standing on the stage, the executive of the finance department said with a little embarrassment, “Right,

Mr Moss was right...I did only analyze the income and expenses within my department and didn’t do a

horizontal comparison of our marketing share in competitive markets. And I’ll improve it after the

presentation.”

“I don’t want to see this inane financial statement again,” said Simon Moss seriously.

“Yes,” the executive was kind of embarrassed because of his words.

But as senior management, he dared not speak against Simon, and the only thing he could do was to

listen.

“You can finish it now.” It was Miguel Cooper who gave him an out. But he also wasn’t against Simon’s

point of view.

The whole presentation only focused on the internal data of the group, which was kind of stupid in large

part—the market defined the survival ability of a company and was the ultimate measure.

“We shouldn’t pay any attention to the next financial analysis report at present. I think we have to talk

about why we lost the project of the South Bay New Town when all the top executives are here today.

This is a typical failure of our market competition. To put it bluntly, no matter how much our turnover

increased year-to-year or sequentially, we’re suffering losses in the market!” Simon’s face clouded.

Hannah had gathered that the failure of this project wouldn’t be let go easily.

“Mr Cooper, I personally think that the failure of this project shouldn’t end up like this. And we have to

learn lessons from it or we’ll lose other projects in the same way next time.” Simon said with

seriousness.

Before Miguel started speaking, a top executive agreed and said, “Mr Moss is right. The project of

South Bay New Town is the largest in the last five years in Kensbury City. And we should reflect on our

mistakes as we have lost this important one.”

“This is only part of the story.” Another executive said, “We must not forget to punish people who are

responsible. Otherwise, if projects can fail with no consequences, then nobody will have the pressure

or motivation to work out the projects.”

For a while, the people in the conference room began talking at once. Hannah still kept silent. She

didn’t speak up for herself at all yet she didn’t admit her mistakes either.

It was Miguel who said with over seriousness, “The failure of the South Bay New Town Project

shouldn’t be attributed to any person in particular. But it’s a breach of responsibility of the whole

company and the whole team. First, this project was reported by Hannah in front of all the top

executives. And if I remembered clearly, it was passed unanimously. It means that we’re all responsible

for the project’s failure, and it’s not someone’s fault. If you want to punish the responsible person, all of

us would be involved.”

“Mr Cooper, what you said sounds righteous, but the fact is that you’re being partial. The only point I

want to talk about is the negotiation of this project is part of Hannah’s work, and she should be

responsible for the failure of her plan. Don’t her capacities need to be questioned? Of cause, as

executives, we did pass her plan in the end, ‘cause we only saw this project was reasonable. As for

whether the market competition is an advantage or a disadvantage, it’s the responsible person who

should figure it out. Otherwise, why did we set so many positions and hired so many employees? We

might as well just do all work by ourselves and have no reason to hire them with a huge salary!” Simon

said spicily.

“So what manner you want to use to punish me?” Hannah raised her brows and looked calm.

Miguel just swallowed the words he was going to spit out. Actually, he only feared that his daughter

might say nothing, cause that would be a demoralizing blow for her. But he completely trusted in her

abilities once she started fighting back. So he just gave her free rein.

“Of cause, I can’t make that decision by myself. I’m just stating the facts. I just say what it is, standing

up for the position of the company, so I hope you don’t resent me for this. Essentially, the Cooper family

is the major shareholder of the Group, so you’ll be the biggest beneficiary if the company has a

potential future. And it won’t be that important for shareholders like us who don’t hold much. So I just

do my duty as I’m sitting here!”

“I understand,” Hannah said immediately, “But I don’t accept the punishment. Because I thought I had

done my best on this project...”

“You’ve done your best. but you also failed in the end.” Another executive cut her off, “What does it

mean? It means you underestimated your competitors. You’ve made the biggest mistake in business

competition, and you think you can get rid of everything?”

“The point is that you have an attitude problem,” Simon spoke loudly.

Obviously, he got angry, and everyone in the conference room was looking at him.

Wayne could hardly hide the smug smile on his face. He eagerly looked forward to seeing her like a

mess. Now he just wanted to see if Hannah had some tricks to help her escape unscathed from this

meeting.

“You didn’t report your failure and the reason to the company when you lost the project. What did you

do? Run away? I can say you have no sense of responsibility in your character. Be serious, the good

news is that you’re only in charge on an interim basis now. And I’ll worry about the development of the

company if you become the vice president. Regardless of the company’s future, I doubt that you want

to run away if something goes run with the company!” Simon scolded.

Hannah slightly compressed her lips. She had predicted what would happen today, so she could be

composed. Before she said any words, another shareholder said loudly, “I admit that Hannah has the

abilities. But I disagree with her sense of responsibility. Of cause, we can think she just graduated from

college and climb into society, so she’s too young to understand the market and, she does as she

wants. For this reason, I think she still needs time to learn. Therefore, I personally suggest we should

change her off the position of the interim head, and even off the name list of vice president.”

“I agree,” Simon said immediately.

“So who do you think is better suited for this position?” Hannah didn’t want to argue anymore, so she

went with what they said and asked, “Wayne? Just like his father.”

Wayne was excited as soon as he heard the name of himself. But Charles had told him that he couldn’t

be impatient. Thus, he planned to drag Hannah into the mire this time, which didn’t mean he had to

replace her immediately though. If he did so, he might leave a bad impression on the management. So

the best way was not to accept the position as the vice-president of the company. And he could get

there by right of his abilities in the future.

As for the abilities, of course, Charles would prepare for him as he had promised.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
