Chapter 379 Interests

Irene had asked the secretary to keep the news that the goods were intercepted by the customs from others in the company. She didn’t expect that the board would know the news.

As soon as the meeting began, a middle-aged man named Collin Linnet sitting on the right side. asked seriously, “Ms. Wade, are you hiding something from us?”

Collin was the biggest shareholder on the board except for Irene and her grandfather. He was more influential than other members of the board.!

Therefore, Irene was very polite to Collin.

“Mr. Linnet, you’re our family friend. I won’t hide anything from you.” Irene pretended that she didn’t know what Collin meant. She thought that the board had just heard the rumor and didn’t get the evidence. Irene guessed right. Collin narrowed his eyes and looked calm. He then said, “Ms. Wade, let’s not beat around the bush. It’s about the interests of the shareholders. I think we’d better be open and -honest. I believe that you won’t lie to us, right?”

Irene stayed calm when hearing that. She was clear that Collin was threatening her. But she just nodded and said with a smile, “Mr. Linnet, please rest assured. Everything is fine in the company. I’ll tell the board if there are any problems.”

Collin smiled and said, “Good. Since you said so, I trust you.”

After the meeting, Irene watched them leave and gritted her teeth. “***********!”

The members of the board did nothing at all in the company. They turned all their fault-finding power on Irene even though Irene was working very hard.

However, Irene had to find ways to let the customs release the goods as soon as possible. Otherwise, the company would suffer great a loss. Irene knew she wouldn’t be able to make up for the loss.

Thinking of this, Irene picked up her bag and walked out of the room.

Irene knew she must see Manuel today, one way or another.

The customs officers intercepted the goods, but Irene was clear that Manuel asked them to do so.

Manuel was the only one who could help the Wade Group out.

Irene was anxious because she found that the relationship between the Gage Group and the Wade Group soured, and the Gage Group seemed to be trying to distance themselves from the Wade Group.

Although Irene and Manuel were engaged, Irene was still worried that the Wade Group might get in trouble.

The holidays were right around the corner. Many people would choose to go on a trip. Rich people loved to spend holidays on islands.

The island owned by the Easton Group first sent invitations to influential people in many cities. The invitations were even decorated with gold.

The Wade Group followed. And they launched a big advertising campaign.

However, it was too late for the Wade Group to attract customers.

The Easton Group knew time is money for customers, so the tour guide, maps, and every detail about the island were printed on the invitations.

As a result, the sales of the Easton Group were much higher than the Wade Group. The news even became a hot topic on the Internet, and many netizens talked about it.

Brady was a very proud man, so he couldn’t bear that his company was beaten by the Easton

Group. He was furious when he heard the news.

After that, Brady went to the company and held an internal meeting.

Although Brady had retired from the company for many years, it didn’t undercut his authority.

Everyone could get a very powerful vibe from Brady when they saw him.

“Don’t you have anything to say?” Brady sat at the head of the table. He leaned back and glanced at others coldly.

Some members of the board attended the meeting just because of Brady. They looked at each other for a while. Then a shareholder named Cade Bower said, “I think we can reduce the price or launch special offers.”

As soon as he finished speaking, some managers said, “We agree with Mr. Bower.”

Brady rubbed the cup on the table and remained emotionless. Nobody could tell if he would agree to Cade’s proposal.

Irene, who had been silent since the meeting started, said, “I don’t agree.”

After she finished speaking, she looked at everyone present and said in a serious tone, “First of all, the profit margin of the Easton Group is high, and they will get the profit of millions of dollars. If we reduce the price, it won’t change anything even if we can attract more customers.”

When Irene was speaking, some managers realized what she meant and lowered their heads, all falling silent.

Irene took a deep breath and continued, “Besides, you should know the rules of business. The prices of all the resort projects on the islands are basically transparent. Except for our company and the Easton Group, many rich families have participated in the investment. If we reduce the price, we will be squeezed out by those families.”

When Irene finished speaking, she got a little angry

She even wanted to fire these incompetent managers.

There was a deathly stillness in the meeting room. Cade’s face darkened when he heard Irene’s words.

Irene retorted Cade in front of the board, so Cade got upset.

But Brady smiled and looked at Irene, saying with satisfaction, “Irene, do you have any ideas?”

Irene smiled when she met Brady’s eyes. She said confidently, “Mr. Wade, you can let me deal with this affair. I won’t let you down.”

Brady laughed and said loudly, “OK. I’ll give you a chance. I trust you.”

After the meeting was over, the members of the board left the room. Brady and Irene returned to the office together.

Irene poured a cup of tea and handed it to Brady. “Grandpa, I’m afraid that Cade will cause trouble in the company.”

Brady took a sip of the tea and snorted. “Don’t worry. No matter what he does, it won’t make a dent. He got carried away recently, so I knocked some sense into him today.”

Brady sighed and added, “But the main purpose of this meeting is to keep your place on the board.

I’m old. The hopes of the Wade Group rest upon your shoulders.”

Irene squatted down in front of Brady and looked up at him gently. “Grandpa, don’t worry. You raised me up and taught me a lot. I won’t let you down.”

Brady patted her shoulder and said, “I trust you. You never let me down.”

Brady suddenly thought of something and looked at Irene again.

“Have you seen Manuel these days?”
