Chapter 157
When Jojo entered the company, Norman and Helen tagged along as well.
Their visitation reason being they both wanted to see how Jojo was settling in, but in reality, they were here to show off.
They kept telling passersby that they were the parents of the new Managing Director, all the while showing off their status.
They ordered the staff around, as if they were the very owners of the company.
In the beginning, both were relatively reserved around Julian, with him being the official CEO of the company. However, after they came to know that he was Matthew’s friend, they couldn’t care less.
From their perspective, they presumed that Julian being CEO was entirely due to his relationship with Matthew.
Seeing that Wellness Herbary was a subsidiary of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals, shouldn’t Jojo be considered as the CEO instead of Julian? Based on the relationship, Jojo was related by blood, whereas Julian was just a friend.
Therefore, barely two hours after they started work, Paula called up Sasha personally.
She demanded that Jojo be promoted as the CEO. As for Julian, he could take the supporting role.
Sasha was about to blow a fuse. She did not think that after setting up the post of Managing Director, coupled with all the benefits that came with it, they could still be unsatisfied.
Initially, she wanted to reject Paula upfront, but Matthew stopped her from doing so.
“Quit arguing with them. You simply can’t reason with this family. Explain to them that since Jojo just started working, there are still a lot of procedures which she is not familiar with, so a trial period is necessary. Once she has familiarized herself with the job scope, she will be promoted to CEO. It won’t take long, just one week at most,” Matthew grinned as he spoke.
Eyebrows raised, Sasha asked, “Matthew, are you sure about this? If you give an inch, they’ll take a mile! If she’s still not promoted after a week, they won’t let you off the hook so easily.”
Matthew chuckled as he reassured, “Don’t worry, they won’t stay that long. They won’t even make it a week.”
Even though Sasha was feeling doubtful, she still did as she was told, repeating whatever Matthew told her to Paula.
The excuse seemed legitimate. Even Paula found it hard to refute and had to agree for the time being.
However, at Wellness Herbary, Paula did not give in easily.
She barged into Julian’s office and demanded him to give way to Jojo, so that she could take over the CEO’s room.
Julian, on the other hand, was asked to move to the Managing Director’s office.
Although they had yet to switch job positions, Paula felt that she had to show them who was the boss.
Upon seeing this situation, the staff felt uneasy. They dared not go up against Paula and her family, and they were fearful of them.
It was only the first day of work, and Paula Dawson successfully helped Jojo take full charge of the company.
Paula was so proud of herself that after work, she even discussed with her husband on whether they should sell off the little department store and work here instead.
As for Norman, he was even more enthusiastic.
He was but a clerk at his current workplace, and was often bossed around by others.
When he was here, however, everyone treated him with reverence and respect, so much so that his personal vanity had been fully satisfied.
Thus, he too planned on resigning from his current workplace and coming to work here instead.
This family even had a plan up their sleeve. Once Jojo had managed to gain control of everything, they planned on storming into the parent company to drive Sasha away. That way, Jojo could then take full charge of Cunningham Pharmaceuticals.
After work, Paula called up James and asked him to pick them up from the company.
Dumbfounded, James asked, “Jojo has a company car, right?”
“She has a reunion dinner with her classmates tonight, so she went off with the car,” Paula said. “James, since we’re in your area, shouldn’t you arrange for dinner out of courtesy?
We have been busy with work the whole day, and didn’t even get to eat much during lunch. Meanwhile, your whole family sure had it easy, enjoying a luxurious meal at home. Did it ever cross your mind that someone had put in a hard day at work for your company? You really should have a sense of gratitude!”
