Chapter 608: Chapter 604: Who exactly wants to bring down the Dunn Group?
Seeing their expressions, Richelle Dunn became even more certain that Harris Dunn had already discussed this privately with these board members in advance.
Only she and Denise Munni had been kept in the dark.
As a small shareholder, it didn’t bother her too much if she was left out of the loop.
After all, her vote wouldn’t make a difference in the outcome.
However, the treatment of United Ventures, as a major shareholder, clearly indicated that they were not taking the company seriously.
So, before the directors could express any opinions,
Denise Munni questioned Harris Dunn with a cold expression.
“Mr. Dunn, may I ask why I, as the second largest shareholder and vice president, never heard about this proposal before today?”
Harris Dunn stared back at her with an equally cold expression.
“Ms. Munni, haven’t I just brought it up now?”
Denise Munni’s expression remained stern, “But for a proposal of this magnitude, the normal procedure is to first get the approval of the first and second largest shareholders before putting it to a vote at the board meeting. However, judging from your analysis just now, as the second largest shareholder, I would cast a veto vote out of the interests of all the directors!”
Harris Dunn stared intently at her, “Ms. Munni, don’t I, as the largest shareholder, have the right to propose a project?”
Denise Munni was not one to be intimidated, “In any case, if you want to bring this proposal to the board, please find a way to get my approval first!”
Because of Denise Munni’s insistence, the voting procedure was terminated.
The meeting, originally scheduled to last the whole afternoon with a dinner plan in the evening for directors to bond, ended with everyone parting on bad terms, not even lasting until three o’clock.
As Harris Dunn was leaving, he walked up to Richelle Dunn in front of all the directors, angrily questioning her.
“Richelle Dunn, as a member of the Dunns, why are you always working against me? Do you want to bring down the Dunn Group?”
Richelle Dunn responded with a sneer.
“Harris Dunn, it seems to me that the one who wants to bring down the Dunn Group is you!”
After finishing, Richelle added,
“Unless you can gain other larger benefits from the Leutonia branch, I can’t see a single advantage of setting up a branch in Leutonia.”
Under the guidance of Nathan Caroule and Roy Lewis, Richelle Dunn’s management and insight abilities have changed significantly from months ago.
Her successive questions led the directors to begin whispering among themselves again.
Most of these directors were pure investors, unfamiliar with management and even less likely to break down costs like Richelle Dunn had done.
As for the policy Richelle mentioned, it did exist, but it was issued twenty years ago.
But as long as it was not repealed, the Federation would indeed act according to the policy.
Thus, Harris Dunn’s previous boasts to the directors about making more money and having higher dividends were obviously unfounded.
Harris Dunn, who originally just wanted to vent his anger by scolding Richelle, ended up arousing suspicions among the directors instead.
With a malicious look in his eyes, Harris Dunn glared at Richelle Dunn.
“The company’s accounts have always been transparent and clear, Richelle Dunn. By accusing me of wrongdoing like this, I can sue you for defamation.”
Richelle Dunn chuckled, wondering why the thieves of this world all liked to use the “thief crying thief” tactic.
“Harris Dunn, you go ahead and sue, I’m not afraid of you doing so!”
Now as the CEO of the Lewis Group, Richelle had the backing of the Lewis Group’s top-notch legal team, known as the best in the Federation.
To sue Richelle Dunn meant going up against these elite legal experts!
Richelle Dunn’s defiance turned Harris Dunn’s face green with rage. Eventually, he realized that he couldn’t turn the tables in his favor today and pointed a warning finger at her.
“Richelle Dunn, don’t get too cocky too soon! You’re only so arrogant because you’ve taken advantage of Roy Lewis’ backing, allowing you to rise! What’s there to show off about?”
Richelle sneered,
“I have nothing to show off, it’s just that my personal assets are worth many times more than your entire Dunn Group!”
Having gained nothing, Harris Dunn left in a huff.
Fearing being ganged up on by the directors, Richelle quickly pulled Denise Munni out of the meeting room and fled.
They originally planned to return in the evening, but with the early end to the meeting, they found themselves with plenty of time.
Thinking back to a noodle shop she used to love,
Richelle wondered if it still existed after all these years.
“Come on, I’ll take you to taste something delicious.”
Denise Munni thought Richelle was going to treat her to a lavish meal, but Richelle took her to an ordinary noodle shop.
“This one?”
Without explaining, Richelle Dunn called for the boss’ wife.
“Boss lady, give us two medium bowls of pork noodles!”
Soon, the boss lady brought up two bowls of noodles.
Just smelling the aroma made one’s mouth water.
Looking at the tender pork, glistening attractively, and the thin bamboo noodles soaked in rich pork bone broth, it was hard not to pick up the chopsticks and slurp down a big mouthful right away.
Denise Munni, who had been disdainful, was now wolfing down the noodles hungrily with her chopsticks.
Richelle Dunn sneered and teased her,
“Ms.. Munni, you seem so well-dressed and elegant, but why do you eat like you’ve just been released from prison?”
