Chapter 1763 The New Vice President
Another person frowned slightly and immediately spoke.
“No, I think we should find a young person who is active and has foresight. Director Collins has been in his position for ten years without much contribution. Making him the vice president will just drag down the company!”
“What are you talking about? You want a random young man to take this position? It’s better to be safe than sorry. Director Collins is an old employee, and he’s reliable. What’s wrong with that?”
“I think Aiden Zink from the headquarters is a good candidate. He has excellent ability and he’s
young…”
“Bah! Aiden Zink is your son-in-law! You’re really straightforward!”
Lance frowned speechlessly. His face was already quite glum.
On the contrary, Yvette was not the slightest bit upset. She was watching this group of dying old men quarreling with each other and found it quite interesting.
Lance was speechless and knocked on the table. His tone was cold and serious.
“Are you guys done?”
With that, everyone held in their words. They were quarreling until their face and neck turned red. When they shut their mouths, they looked up at Lance.
Lance’s tone was indifferent as he said, “I’ve already decided on who will replace Mr. Lawrence. From now on, Yvette Quimbey is the new vice president. Any comments?”
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other.
Finally, their eyes landed on Yvette.
Yvette could not watch the drama, so she could only stand up and greeted everyone with a slight nod.
“I hope that we can all work well together in the future.”
The crowd did not dare to say anything more. Since Lance already decided, they did not want to provoke him.
However, there was an old man who, on account of his age, could not resist speaking up.
“She’s your wife. You shouldn’t just be so outwardly biased. She’s also a Quimbey…”
Lance’s gaze turned cold as he stared deeply at the person who spoke. “She’s my wife, so I can be biased toward her. Speaking of which, you’re considered my uncle. If you want things to be so fair, you can always tender your resignation anytime.”
Lance had never been so rude before.
That old man turned red with anger in an instant.
Just now, the old man was the most active in scolding Mr. Lawrence. Now that he was dissed by
Lance in public, he felt embarrassed.
“Lance, you…”
Lance did not want to continue. His cold, angular face looked aloof.
“Who else has an opinion?”
The implication was that all those who had an opinion could get lost.
Yvette did not expect his method to be so brutal and simple.
It really refreshed her impression of him.
Mr. Sheldon was very powerful!
No one else dared to object. One of the tactful people led the applause. The sparse applause became very enthusiastic, so much so that Yvette felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lance ended the meeting in time.
Lance did not continue to stay there and looked at Yvette. The meeting was adjourned.
Yvette resisted the urge to laugh and followed Lance back to the office.
Once she got back, she could no longer hold back and laughed out loud.
The old man that passed by heard this laughter. He took it personally and felt like it was an insult t o him, so he became more furious.
He immediately called his cousin.
Fiona was a little surprised when she received the call.
“Cousin, what’s the matter?”
“Fiona, how did you teach your son? Look at how your son treats me! He didn’t show me any respect at the meeting and wanted me to resign! He really doesn’t have any manners! Why aren’t you teaching him?”
Lance’s mother, Fiona, was scolded out of the blue. Her good mood was ruined, and she secretly cursed that she should not have answered the phone.
However, since that old man was a relative, she patiently dealt with the situation. “Cousin, I apologize on his behalf if Lance has done something wrong. You’re his elder, so you should be more tolerant. After all, he’s still young. He might just say things without thinking them through, s o just be more tolerant of him…”
