Chapter 836: The General Meeting of the Stockholders
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Inside the villa bedroom.
After Nicole’s best friend learned that her situation wasn’t very serious, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She casually threw her bag onto the sofa and sat down on the edge of the bed.
“Coincidentally, I don’t have much to do these days, so I’ll stay here with you. Your villa is so big and comfortable, I don’t want to leave!”
Her best friend said with a smile.
Nicole turned her head and smiled at her friend without saying a word.
“By the way, how did you sprain your foot? How did it become so serious?”
Her friend thought that it wouldn’t be possible to sprain it so badly just by walking normally.
“I was kidnapped today, luckily Connor saved me, otherwise I might have been dead by now…”
Nicole said softly.
“Kidnapped?”
Her friend, Lola, stood still after hearing this, her expression full of disbelief.
“Yes, it was because of the subway project, but now I’m not in danger anymore, so you don’t have to worry…”
Nicole said slowly.
Lola hesitated for a moment, then said playfully, “Nicole, who was that man just now? Is he your boyfriend?”
“What boyfriend? That person is Connor, we’re just ordinary friends. He saved me today. If it weren’t for him, you might not have seen me again…”
Nicole said softly.
“Come on, don’t play dumb with me. I know your personality well, Nicole. That man just came out of your bedroom. You always have cleanliness issues and it’s impossible for you to bring a member of the opposite sex into your bedroom. But today you actually let that person in, which means your relationship is definitely not simple…”
Lola said with a smile.
“My foot is sprained. I can’t walk right now. We were the only ones here just now. If he didn’t help me come in, how could I have entered?”
Nicole exclaimed helplessly.
“Then couldn’t you have waited for me in the living room downstairs?”
Lola replied indifferently, then continued, “Alright, stop pretending with me. If you let that man in, it means you don’t have any objections in your heart. So even if you two are not together, there must be some feelings…”
Lola said with a smile.
“Lola, why are you talking nonsense?”
Nicole blushed and shouted, then continued, “We’ve only known each other for less than two days. How could I have any feelings for him? Today, Connor saved me and I asked him to take me home. Isn’t that a normal thing?”
“Nicole, I’m not kidding. You’re already this old. These two years are the most precious time for us women. With your conditions, you can find someone of any type you want. Since you have feelings for that person, don’t hide it. It’s not a problem to develop something with him. I’ve known you for so many years, and it’s the first time I’ve seen you not object to a man. Besides, that person seems a bit young, but a relationship with a younger man can also be very good…”
Her best friend said with great curiosity.
“Oh, Lola, look at me now. Stop joking around, alright? I just met Connor a few days ago…”
Nicole’s expression was helpless as she shouted, then quickly covered her face with a blanket.
In fact, if it wasn’t for her best friend’s reminder, Nicole herself wouldn’t have realized that Connor had actually entered her bedroom, and just a moment ago, he even carried her to the bathroom.
She has a cleanliness obsession, especially when it comes to her bedroom, which is a kind of stubbornness that normal people can’t imagine.
The only person who can enter her bedroom should be her best friend. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
“Could it be that I really like Connor? How is that possible? Nicole, when did you become so unrestrained…”
She couldn’t help but recall the ambiguous interactions she had with Connor today, and her pretty face seemed even more flushed.
…
On the other side, after leaving Nicole’s house, Connor didn’t choose to go straight home because he had something more important to do now.
It was already evening, past six o’clock, and he took out his phone and dialed Thomas’s number.
“Ring ring…”
After a couple of rings, Thomas answered the phone, speaking in a very respectful tone, “Mr. Connor, what can I do for you?”
“Mr. Thomas, I want to hold a shareholders’ meeting tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock. All employees above the manager level should attend, is that okay?”
Connor spoke softly.
“Mr. Connor, did you say you want to hold a shareholders’ meeting?”
Thomas asked with some surprise in his tone upon hearing Connor’s words.
“That’s right, a shareholders’ meeting!”
Connor nodded lightly.
Although the number of shareholders in Connor’s company was not large, as most of the shares were in the hands of Connor and Thomas, the company had been listed for many years and a portion of the shares had been diluted, so there were still some minority shareholders. These minority shareholders could earn billions or even tens of billions of yuan each year just from dividends.
“Alright, Mr. Connor, I will inform everyone right away!”
Thomas shouted excitedly, his tone full of enthusiasm. He didn’t even ask Connor why he wanted to hold a shareholders’ meeting.
Because Thomas knew that this move by Connor meant that he finally started to care about the affairs of the company, which was undoubtedly good news. Thomas had been silently waiting for Connor to take the initiative and show interest in these matters, so he didn’t ask Connor to do anything, as Thomas understood his position in relation to Connor.
Connor was the boss, and Thomas was his subordinate!
Even for Empire World Corporation, Thomas was obviously more important than Connor.
But Thomas, being a smart person, wouldn’t take advantage of these things and attempt to make him do anything.
“Aren’t you going to ask me what I want to do?”
Connor was taken aback for a moment, his tone puzzled.
“Mr. Connor, the company is yours, you can do whatever you want…”
Thomas said with a smile.
“Okay, then go and inform the shareholders of the company now!”
He smiled faintly and directly hung up the phone.
In fact, the reason he chose to hold a shareholders’ meeting was only one, and that was to take action on the Subway Line 9 project.
Of course, he could have discussed this matter separately with Thomas.
After all, the two of them could make decisions on such matters entirely, and Thomas would most likely cooperate with his ideas.
However, he chose to hold a shareholders’ meeting, and his purpose was very simple. He wanted everyone in the company to know that he, the so-called chairman, was not just a figurehead. He was ready to gradually get involved in the company’s business.
Connor wasn’t trying to seize power from Thomas, but to make the company’s people realize who the real boss was!
