The way he called her Rae–Rae was absolutely alluring. His voice was deep and had just the right amount of richness. It was like a lover’s confession, which makes one’s heart flutter.
In a state of panic, Rachel’s heart started beating wildly, and she cleared her throat before saying, “I’ll hang up now if there’s nothing else.”
After saying that, she hung up and tossed aside her phone.
Soon, she received a notification on her phone. It was a text from David, which included the location of a restaurant. He added a voice message, “I’ll wait for you.”
He would always seemingly give her some options to choose from, but he had already long decided for her, causing her to be unable to avoid it.
The following morning, Rachel got into a cab and arrived at the Johnson Corporation office building.
Everyone held their breaths and stared at the backseat of the car.
Rachel bent forward as the car doors opened and got out of it.
She wore a black suit paired with a black pair of trousers, exuding a sharp and aloof aura.
Her black tresses were tied up casually into a messy bun. The small tuft of hair fluttering down at the side added a gentleness and charm to her cold and aloof face.
Everyone was stunned by the fresh face.
Before they came to their senses, Rachel was already accompanied by her assistant to the internal department of the corporation.
Someone rushed forward when she entered the elevator to help her press the button. “Ms. Grey, I’m Jacky, Mr. Jensen’s assistant.”
Rachel glanced at him, and his face was instantly covered with a smile ast he continued, “Here’s the thing, Mr. Jensen hasn’t been well lately. He’s still recuperating at home, but he specially instructed me to take good care of you, Ms. Grey. Please feel free to tell me what you want. I’ll do anything to get it.”
“Tell Mr. Jensen this for me. Since he’s not feeling well, he’d better recuperate at home. He doesn’t have to worry about the matters at the corporation. The group will provide him with the best retirement. protection in consideration of the commendable work he has done for the group over the years.” Rachel stared coldly at the deferential Jacky and said with a mirthless smile, “This mission is rather simple. You don’t have to go all out. I believe you’ll complete it successfully.”
After saying that, she strode into the elevator.
Best retirement protection?
Jacky was stunned right on the spot. He had significantly asserted dominance in front of Rachel by the orders of Mr. Jensen. How did he end up in trouble instead?
The group arrived at the CEO’s office on the 68th floor. The assistants split up and updated everything in the office. They also placed all the essential documents on the desk.
At the same time, the notice the former chairman gave was like a bomb that exploded in the corporation.
As they say, there tends to be more drama and gossip in places with more women. When they saw Rachel’s stunningly gorgeous face, they jumped to conclusions and assumed she was just a pretty “vase.”
“If I remember correctly, our chairman has the last name Johnson, right? What’s wrong with him? How could he get someone with another last name to manage the company!?!”
“And this woman seems only about 22 or 23 years old. Isn’t that a little too young!?!”
“Do you guys think this woman and the chairman… has some unusual relationship?”
“She might not be a Johnson, but she matters dearly to the chairman. I heard that she grew up watching him negotiate. At 16, she made it into the royal business school, which is rare for anyone to do. At 18, she was already a purchaser of drugs and medicine. Her life experiences are far more interesting than we can imagine,” a woman said nonchalantly. “They say that people newly appointed to positions of responsibility tend to make far–reaching changes. Instead of arguing with each other here, why don’t you think about how to protect yourselves?”
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Everyone watched her leave before asking, “Who’s that woman just now? Which department is she from?”
“I haven’t met her before. She’s probably an intern.”
Someone knocked on the door of the CEO’s office, and a cold female voice sounded. “Come in!”
The woman with the mug in her hand pushed the door and entered. “Ms. Grey, here’s your coffee.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Rachel slowly looked up, only to be stunned when she saw the familiar face before her. “Linda Galler!?!”
Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy as she met her former close friend.
After the college entrance exams back then, Linda went abroad to pursue an education with the funds provided by the Johnsons. She was away for several years and would call them occasionally.
Rachel thought that Linda had left for good and never expected that she would return to be by her side,
“Ms. Grey, it’s been a while.” Linda said smilingly, her eyes filled with the joy of meeting her close friend again after years of being apart. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and said, “Ms. Grey, not all the directors are present. Do we proceed with the meeting as usual?”
After giving it some thought for a second, Rachel said, “Get ready. The meeting shall begin in 10 minutes!”
About ten minutes later, Rachel entered the conference room together with Linda.
Apart from the senior executives of the various departments, there were only a few directors.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay before standing up and greeting Rachel respectfully, “Hello, Ms. Grey!”
Rachel nodded slightly and said, “Since everyone is here, the meeting shall begin.”
During the meeting, the directors and Rachel got into a fierce debate to test Rachel’s capabilities.
Some of them even wanted to take the chance to suppress Rachel.
However, during their conversation later, Rachel used her sharp vision and shrewd foresight to point out a few drawbacks.
Rachel was definitely up for what it takes to be the CEO.
Toward the end, the staff of the strategy department handed over a document. Linda cast the spokesperson agreement on the large screen. Once the content was displayed on the big screen, Olivia’s smile appeared immediately.
The person in charge got up and analyzed Olivia’s situation. “Olivia has always had a good reputation, be it her development in the previous years abroad or after returning to the US. Since we are launching a hot springs hotel, it is more inclined towards young people, and most importantly, I heard that she is about to marry the CEO of the Smith Group real soon…”
Rachel glanced at the screen with an enigmatic coldness in her eyes.
She wasn’t paying attention to what the rest of the staff said. The only keywords she heard were “about to get engaged to the CEO of the Smith Group.”
The two of them were really eager.
Rachel thought she would be absolutely devastated and heartbroken to have heard that news. However, she realized things weren’t as sad as she had imagined.
She knew that it wasn’t because she could get over it but because of the man she had recruited, whom she had a hard time dealing with.
David charged into her life domineeringly, taking away some of her attention.
He slowly pressed closer and closer, not giving her a chance to sit in silence for long,
After the person in charge spoke, Rachel looked at him indifferently and said calmly, “The company spokesperson has to fit the brand’s image. It can’t be an influencer who’s only top in popularity. Inform the teams to get ready for a new selection!”
In other words, she felt that Olivia wasn’t good enough for the Hot Springs hotel.
“Okay, Ms. Grey,” said the man in charge, who returned to his seat, as pale as a sheet.
At this moment, another staff in charge of the project slowly stood up and pondered what he would do. He finally said slowly, “Ms. Grey, this concerns the land acquisition planning at the hotel in the suburbs of South Valley…”
In the suburbs of South Valley…
Rachel squinted slightly while fiddling with the pen and carefully listening to the report made by the person in charge.
“Which companies are your current competition?”
“I’ve done an analysis. The two strongest opponents we have are the
Stellar Corporation and the Smith Group.”
The Smith Group had developed rapidly in the past few years, just like a wolt Many established companies had been trying to suck up to them. and they even viewed the Smith Group as a powerful enemy, which Rachel had understood.
As for the Stellar Corporation…
It was an established company in Seaxas, but the person in charge was very mysterious, and there was barely any relevant info about her.
However, she kept the massive project at Seaxas, which was almost on par with the Stellar Corporation Unlike the Johnsons, who had always been on top, its existence was like an exterior force that wreaked havoc.
When will the auction be held Rachel asked with a solemn look in his eves.
The person in charge blurted. Next Tuesday
We have to clinch this project!”
Yes. Ms. Grey!”
After the meeting ended, everyone watched Rachel leave, staring at her back and secretly feeling that she had an indescribable hostility towards. them and the Smith Group.
However, what was puzzling was this boundless animosity.
At the same time. Louis suddenly tightened his grip on the lighter he was playing with in his hand after he heard this news. He stared at his assistant coldly and questioned. “Did you say that the Johnson Corporation is joining in the bid?”
“Yes, the assistant said. “I just received news that the newly appointed CEO of the Johnson Corporation has just returned from overseas. I also heard that she’s the daughter of Old Mr. Johnson, head of the Johnson Corporation.”
A smile appeared on Louis’s icy cold face, and he said, “Turns out a pampered heiress is out to experience the struggles of life as an ordinary human being.”
“Let’s take part in the auction next week, then?”
Louis slowly looked down. “We must get our hands on those land!”
If he could get that plot of land in the suburbs of South Valley, the Smith Group could rise further.
Hence, he would still have to grasp the opportunity, no matter what!
While thinking about it, he received a call from Olivia, causing his cell phone to buzz in his pocket endlessly.
“Louis, the Johnson Corporation turned down my letter of offer!”
I think that Louis Smith is a bit selfish and self-centered. He walked away from a priceless jewel but wants to retain her brains and grow his corporation? Very interesting!
I cannot wait to see how it plays out. He will be shocked when he finds out who is the new CEO.
