The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 288 Selfish Motives

"Okay, okay. Then I'll go and inform her. Right, How about I call her over and you tell her about the things she

should take note of? Tell her everything Ruby needs to do when she's here. This way, when you go to the company

tomorrow, she can be prepared."

"Okay. Then let her come now." Julian did not refuse.

"Then wait here. I will go and call her." Daphne heard her son agree and immediately got up to call Vivian.

Julian finally agreed to his mother. In fact, when he went to work alone, it was also a challenge to him. He didn't

have anyone close to him, and he couldn't see it with his eyes, so many things made him feel helpless.

In addition, during this period of time, Vivian had indeed changed a lot. Although he could not see it, he could feel it.

That night, Julian told Vivian everything she needed to pay attention to. After breakfast the next day, Vivian went to

the Cooper Group with Julian.

Actually, since Ethan got sick until now, there had been some objections in the company. It was just that nothing

major had happened in the company, which was why everything was fine.

When the car stopped in front of the company's lobby, Vivian got out of the car first, then helped Julian out of the

car. They went to the company's lobby together.

Because Vivian had been to work here before, she was not unfamiliar with the company. The two of them took the

elevator to Julian's office floor.

When they walked out of the office and passed the secretariat room, they saw Jenny, the secretary, walking over

nervously. She looked at Julian and called out softly.

"President. . ."

Julian stopped and asked slowly, "What's wrong?"

"Yesterday, a few major shareholders in the company heard that Miss Ruby left and said that you can't see now. If

this continues, it will be detrimental to the company's development, so today. . ." Jenny said a little hesitantly.

Vivian frowned, "Don't stutter when you speak. So what happened today?"

"They said they were going to hold a meeting and want to choose a new CEO. . ." Jenny said and immediately

lowered her head, not daring to look Vivian in the eyes.

"They are throwing stones while they are down, aren't they? The chairman is still in the hospital and the CEO is now

coming to the company to work every day. How can they do this? Where are they now?" Vivian got angry when she

heard that.

"They are. . . In the conference room. . ." Jenny lowered her head again and replied.

"Got it, you go ahead!" Vivian looked at Julian and said, "Julian, let's talk in the office first!"

Julian nodded and followed Vivian into his office.

Once the office door was closed, Vivian took Julian to the leather chair and sat down. She said angrily, "These

people are too much. You are still working in the company. How can they make such a request?"

Julian frowned. "Actually, I had already expected this. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later."

His and his father's situation were all like this. It was inevitable that there would be some differences in voices in

such a large company. It was already unexpected for him to be able to hold on until now.

"Then what should we do now?" Today was the first day that she came to work, and she encountered this kind of

thing. It was also something that Vivian did not expect.

But on second thought, this kind of thing happened. It was a very good opportunity for her.

"Since they are already in the meeting room, it means that they have come prepared. Call Jenny in."

"Okay." Vivian nodded and walked to the door to call her secretary Jenny into the office.

"Yes CEO." Jenny walked in front of Julian.

"How many people are there in the meeting room? Have you gone to see it?"

"There are nine of them in total."

"Who is the leader?"

"It's Director Dowson Bates!"

"I got it. Go and tell them that the meeting will be held at nine o'clock. You can go out first." Julian nodded.

"Yes!" Jenny immediately left the room.

Seeing Jenny leave and closing the office door, Vivian looked at Julian and asked, "Why did this person do this?"

"His son Diego Bates is now the vice president. It seems that he wants to make his son the President." When Julian

heard this name, he had a general idea.

"No wonder!"

…

At nine o'clock in the morning, Vivian brought Julian to the meeting room.

When Vivian walked in, she saw that there were indeed nine people sitting in front of the meeting table. The one

sitting at the front was Dowson Bates.

Vivian helped Julian sit down while she sat beside him. Seeing the secretary close the door of the conference room,

Vivian reminded Julian that the conference could begin.

Julian looked at the front and smiled faintly. "Ever since my father fell sick, I have been very grateful to everyone for

their support. I think that without everyone's help, the Cooper Group wouldn't be as peaceful as it is now. Although I

can't see it with my eyes during this period of time, everyone is still very supportive of my work. This makes me

very happy.”

“No matter what happens today, since I'm here today, I have to thank everyone first! Thank you for helping me

when I encountered difficulties in the Cooper Group. I thought that everyone would continue to work like this, but

when I came to the company today, I heard the secretary say that a few directors requested for a board meeting.

My wife came with me today. If you have any good suggestions for the company, you can give them. Although I

can't see it, I will definitely be listening!"

After they heard what Julian said, they silently looked at each other. The first one to speak was Dowson. "President,

we are all clear about the chairman's illness. Your eyes have yet to find a suitable cornea. We, the directors, have

discussed it over the past few days. For the sake of the company's development, I suggest you treat your eyes first.

After all, such a large company. . . Some things can't be managed just by listening.”

“During the time when you are going to operate on your eyes, we will choose an acting CEO to temporarily replace

you. When your eyes are good, the position of the CEO will be reserved for you at any time!"

Another director heard Dowson's words and went to speak. "Director Cooper, we have no choice. There are already

rumors spreading outside. Our Cooper Group is such a big company and it will all be in your hands. It will be fine if

nothing big happens. But if something were to happen, it might cause an irreversible situation to the Cooper Group.

The Cooper Group was founded by Chairman Cooper himself. We don't want anything to happen to the company

either. We just hope that you can come back and manage the company after you've healed your eyes. What do you

think?"

"Yes! The few of us are also thinking about the company's development. I hope Director Cooper doesn't think too

much about it."

"That's right! That's right! Director Cooper couldn't see it. If Chairman Cooper was in good health, we wouldn't have

said anything. But now, many companies outside dare not cooperate with our company. If this continues, the

company will inevitably be affected. I hope that Director Cooper can make some concessions for the sake of the

bigger picture."

"That's right. . ."

". . . "

As soon as Dowson spoke, the other directors all agreed.

Vivian was originally a person who was good at observing people's expressions and words. Soon, she understood

that among these people, Dowson was a key person.

As the sound of the voice gradually faded, Vivian, who was sitting beside Julian, spoke.

"Is everyone done talking? If you are done, can I say a few words?"

Dowson knew her identity, but he did not put her in his eyes. "This meeting is the company's board of directors. It

does not seem appropriate for Madam of President to attend, right?"

Vivian heard his words and smiled. "Director Bates' meaning is that as a wife, I can allow my husband to be bullied

by others. Then, I can stay by the side and watch the show without saying anything?"

Dowson immediately put on the airs of an elder in the company. "Madam, don't distort my meaning. I mean this

meeting. . ."

Vivian did not wait for him to finish speaking and directly slammed the table. "Don't use the board of directors to

pressure me! Even though my surname is not Cooper, aren't you all just bullying the entire Cooper Family? Can't

you see the sickness? Can't you see Julian's eyes? But his heart is not blind!”

“Since you want to choose a new CEO, I would like to ask you. During the period when Julian was blind and still went

to work, did he cause any major losses to the company? Did the company stop advancing? Has it announced that it

is going to close down now? There is nothing! You only saw that his eyes are not good. But you didn't see that he

was working hard.”

“Julian worked very late every night when he came home. He had to spend more energy than normal people.

Because this company was founded by his father, he didn't want to disappoint his father! Today, let's be frank here!

I know this meeting was brought up by you! Today, in front of so many people, do you dare to pat your chest and

swear that you organized this meeting not to let your son become the president? You don’t have any some selfish

motives towards yourself, do you dare to swear?"

Julian quietly sat on the chair. When he heard Vivian's words, he originally wanted to stop her, but after thinking

about it, it was not a bad idea to let her test everyone.

Dowson did not expect this woman to ask him such a direct question in front of so many people. He immediately

said with a guilty face, "Don't slander me!"

Vivian smiled. She was not afraid of this person at all. "I just want Director Bates to clarify whether he is selfish or

not. Can't you just say that you don't have any motives? But hearing Director Bates' words just now, it means that I

almost misunderstood him. Since Director Bates is thinking about the company, I can now promise everyone. . .”

“From today onwards, I will be my husband's eyes. During this period of time, he didn't make any mistakes in his

work and the company's development was the same as before. Like the board members said just now, because my

husband had an eye problem, he can’t work. Then I want to ask everyone here, when you sign a contract with the

other party and you will get sick because of some health problems, do you want to give up your cooperation with

the other party?”

“The strength of a company is there. What we want is strength. If my husband's eyes hinder the company's

development, doesn't that mean that all the employees in the company are useless? If that's the case, then I think

before we change the president, we should first change all these useless employees of the company! Isn't everyone

right?"
