After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 101

Hannah faced up to everyone in the board meeting room, put on a light smile and said in a calm and peaceful voice, “Maxwell, so you think there’s something wrong with my position of sales director, right?”

“Bullshit!” Maxwell pulled a long face and looked unkind.

“Maxwell, what do you think is wrong with it?” Hannah said calmly. She didn’t freak out for being challenged.

“First, Cooper Group is a prestigious cooperation whose total assets ranks top 2 in Northfield. The staff here in our company are elites. Even the grass-roots employees are either graduates from top fifty universities in the country, or talents who’re very experienced and have achieved some achievements. Second, the former sales directors are all aged above 35 and they were promoted and developed from the grass-roots employees. They had rich experience in marketing and sales, and had very good job performances, but none of them were directly appointed.” Maxwell listed two points of view and looked down at Hannah, “Tell me, Hannah, you aren’t well-educated, experienced or capable. What makes you think you’re qualified for the position of sales director of Cooper Group, the second Fortune Global 100 in the country?”

His words were clear and logical. Apparently, he’d been well prepared for it.

Hannah looked around everyone in the room calmly, then she glanced at Roger, who was smiling complacently and sarcastically among the group. Then she paid a glimpse at Miguel, who was gonna speak for her.

But she spoke first, “I understand your concerns and doubts, and I totally agree with him. Let’s not talk about Cooper Group’s prestigious status in the country now. I admit that I’m really young and inexperienced. And it’s really hard for me to do the job well.”

“Huh.” Maxwell smiled coldly and despised her. Probably, he thought Hannah had chickened out by hearing his words.

Certainly, Roger couldn’t be happier. He’d arranged the board meeting and specially told Maxwell to embarrass Hannah in front of everyone. On the one hand, he did it to get back at Hannah for Mary, warning Hannah not to walk all over Mary with the identity of Miguel Cooper’s daughter. She just couldn’t do that! On the other hand, he didn’t want Hannah to work in Cooper Group. He couldn’t see holding such a high position even she must join the company. And he couldn’t allow Hannah to achieve any success in the company. Otherwise, his plan would be ruined!

Surely, Miguel couldn’t bear to see a bunch of people directing at Hannah in such a top meeting room. He also expected that the top managers were up to no good when they sent for Hannah in the name of self-introduction. But to show justice, he couldn’t be too partial to Hannah. So, he had to agree on it, but to his surprise, some of them just didn’t show him any respect.

He tried to speak again but Hannah interrupted him one more time.

“But, now that I’m here as the sales director, I’m here with good reasons!”

“What good reasons?” Maxwell disdained her, “Because you’re the daughter of Mr Chairman?”

“Yes!” Hannah admitted it immediately.

Not only Maxwell but also other senior managers burst into laughter on the spot. Probably, they all thought Hannah was still wet behind the ears and made herself a laughingstock. They wondered how shameless she was to join the company by the back door and took it for granted!

“I’m the daughter of Mr Chairman of Cooper Group. Because of it, I’ve been influenced by my father since I was young, and I know about the company better than any others. What’s more, my father used to tell me many of the company’s big projects, such as the bid on the city planning standard buildings half a year ago, the construction of Bamboo Club, the enclosure of Public Welfare Square, and so on. I knew the whole negotiation processes and results very clearly. Therefore, I can’t totally accept it when Mr Watson said that I had no experience at all. I’ve got some experience though not too much. Moreover, experience is only one of the indicators to test one’s working capacity, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m incapable of this job.”

Maxwell was about to retort.

But Hannah didn’t give him any chance to speak, “Next, with regards to Mr Watson’s denial on my education background, I’m not sure if I could be admitted to Cooper Group with the master degrees in both Economics and international commerce from Kensbury University. If not, would I be admitted to the company with Fox University’s Green Ribbon of the Year, which I’d won when I got invited and studied as an exchange student in Fox University, the top university in the world, while I was studying my bachelor and master’s degrees? Right! You might not know what Green Ribbon means. So far, only 50 people in the world have won this Green Ribbon, including Wilson, a leading figure in International Economics, Stella, the current minister for the economy of M, and Kostra, the richest man in the world, and so forth.”

Everyone was chocked to hear Hannah’s words, since none of them had heard that Hannah was so highly educated. To them, Hannah was a young girl who believed in LOVE IS All, and didn’t imagine that she would have achieved such a big success in her study.

And, it meant that Hannah was admitted to Kensbury University and studied the best major as Charles did. But why did people only hear about Charles’s education background and personal achievement while no one had heard that Hannah also studied at the same school and studied the same major? Charles was three years older than Hannah, but normally the press would have reported on it crazily if a couple were so highly educated. But why Hannah was so little known?

Hannah understood their concerns and doubts. After all, she’d kept her head down back then. None of her classmates knew she was the daughter of Miguel Cooper, the CEO of Cooper Group. She’d never told people that she graduated from Kensbury University or that she’d once studied abroad in Fox University and won the Green Ribbon. She was unknown only because Charles didn’t want her to be famous. Charles hated it when she appeared to be capable and outstanding. To put it gently, he wanted them to keep a low profile. But in fact, he just couldn’t bear to see her doing better than him, which would take his superiority away.

But she didn’t know it until she returned to her 22.

“You’ve talked much, but how can you prove it?” Roger couldn’t help it any more. Obviously, it was pretty hard for him to accept the fact that Hannah had achieved great success in her study.

It would make his son and daughters nobody once Hannah had proved it. Wayne graduated from a normal key university while Jane was barely admitted to a college by the back door. Mary did a little better and studied in a top ten university in the country. But all in all, his children hadn’t achieved any big success or won big rewards like Hannah did. Most importantly, they’d never heard where Hannah had studied or what rewards she’d won in so many years.
