Supreme Mars novel Chapter 136

Coming back to earth in the first place, Caroline looked at them with an astounded look on her face and asked, "Dad? Leo? Here is Vesper Corporation! What are you guys doing here?"

Even though they had never expected that they would ever encounter Caroline and the rest of the people in the elevator, Leo and William soon regained their composure.

It was at the moment when William was about to speak that Rebecca caught herself and looked at Leo with strange eyes, "Is this where you're taking William?"

Having no idea about what was in Rebecca's head, Leo nodded, "Yes."

"Now, I see." Said Rebecca as if she was clear about everything, and then she continued with a disdainful look in her eyes, "You're taking him here to look for a job, aren't you?'

Then, she turned to William and reproached, "You could have talked to us if you were really going to find a job! Just look around: everyone here is all your family, and the shareholder of Vesper as well! It is us who can arrange you a well enough position in the company as long as you talk to us, but why do you choose to take such a great pain to follow this little shit to here merely for a job interview?"

"Indeed. I'm the manager of the company's ministry of personnel, and it will be more than easy for me to get you into the company." Caroline said.

Nearly each of them was looking at William with a strange look in their eyes — it seemed certain enough for them that the two were here for a job.

With his face darkened, William said, "No, you guys get it all wrong. I…"

"There is no misunderstanding, for sure!" Rebecca interrupted directly, "The whole Vesper Corporation is facing a turbulent time, and a new president is taking office. Thus, we shall not screw it up! It will be a shame for our family if others know you have been taken here by him for merely a job!"

At this moment, with a loud ‘ding', the elevator door opened.

Rebecca left William with a final warning, and then stepped into the meeting room along with Caroline and Patricia.

As Leo looked at their backs with coldness, William forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry for this, Leon."

With the expression on his face softened, Leo offered a thin laugh, "It seems that they have already been blinded by their identities as the shareholders."

"Shall we demote them?" Asked William.

"There is no need for that." Said Leo, "I heard that Vesper Corporation was going to cooperate with the Ford Group, is that truth?"

"Yes, it is." Answered William with a nod.

the Ford Group was registered under the name of the Ford family. Since Caroline and Rebecca came to power in Vesper Corporation, Vesper Corporation had then been cooperating with the Ford family on business.

Leo sneered, "These women of the Ford family want to steal money from Vesper Corporation."

Pondering in silence, William would leave them aside if the cooperation was frank and righteous, since it would be profitable for anyone. However, things would turn different if the cooperation was based on the unilateral sacrifice of his own company.

"I'm going to cancel all the cooperation between my company and the Ford Group." Said William point-blank.

"Your personal strength is not enough, dad." Leo said, "They will only become more rampant and unscrupulous if they know you are the incoming new chairman. You need someone to be your ally."

"But where can I find such a man?" William asked with his brows knitted.

Leo answered with a secret smile, "Don't worry. He is on the way."

……

On the other side, the group of Rebecca was already in the meeting room. Soon, a director came up and asked in a whisper, "Have you heard of it, Mrs. Ford? The new chairman is going to convene a board meeting."

Rebecca nodded, "Yeah, I've heard of it, and I'm wondering what kind of a man the new president will be."

"He just purchased the whole company, my lord! He must be one of the most influential business tycoons!" Said the director, "Our company is in a turbulent period and we need someone to lead us towards our prosperity! You're one of the most experienced of us, Mrs. Ford, and know everything about the structure and the pattern of our company. The incoming boss will definitely put you in an important position!'

Hearing that, Rebecca smiled as if she was longing for such an outcome.

Everyone inside the meeting room were all trying their best to hold back the excitement struggling inside, and awaiting the arrival of the new chairman.

Soon, they heard steady and conservative footsteps from outside the door.

"Shush! He is here!"

Then, each single member of the board straightened their clothes and sat properly — they all wanted to show the new chairman their best.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a man in his thirties stepped inside.

Standing up nearly at the same time, all members bent down and greeted, "Greetings, Mr. chairman!"

Stunned for a while, the man smiled, "I'm not the chairman, guys. Instead, I'm his assistant, and you guys can call me Lena."

Hearing that, the board members looked at each other with bewilderment, and wondered where the new chairman was.

With his eyes narrowed, the secretary squinted through all the people around, and looked straight after his eyes fell on Rebecca, Caroline and the rest of the group briefly.

He then announced with a loud voice, "OK, ladies and gentlemen, there are three things that need to be made clear in today's meeting."

With a pause, he continued, "In the first place, please allow me to introduce the new president of our company, William Ford! And now, please welcome Mr. Ford to give us a speech."

Everyone around was all stunned by the shocking news, especially the group of Rebecca, whose eyes were wide open and astonished expression on their faces turned frozen.

"Was I hearing the name correctly?" Rebecca asked Caroline with incredible eyes on her, "Was he saying William?"

"Yes! He said dad was the new chairman of the company!" Caroline answered with excitement.

Although she didn't know what had exactly happened, she knew that the Ford family would meet its rise and prosperity if William had truly retrieved his power in Vesper Corporation.

"But what if the new president just coincidently shares the same name with William?" With suspicion on her face, Rebecca was wondering what was really going on.

With eyes of amaze and excitement fallen on him, William stepped inside the office with his head up, and for Leo, he was standing by the doorway of the meeting room and looking at everything with a smile on his face.

"It's dad!" Caroline exclaimed with astonishment on her face.

"God, it's true! But how did he become the chairman of the company?" Rebecca muttered with a strange look on her face.

In her mind, something didn't seem right — Virgil Corporation had already been purchased by Vesper Corporation, and the sponsorship of 880 million dollars should also be taken over by the company. Where did he get the money to purchase Vesper Corporation?

"Dad, over here!" Caroline waved to William excitedly.

For Rebecca and Patricia, they returned to the present moment and were both looking at William with excitement.

If William was really the chairman of Vesper Corporation, it would be one of the most profitable things for the Ford family.

However, William just simply ignored their fervent eyes on him, and finished his speech.

"Thanks for the brilliant speech of Mr. Ford! Now, the second thing I'm going to announce is that" Said Lena loudly, "Mr. Ford was going to select one of the most crucial cadres to hold the post of vice-chairman."

Hearing the announcement, the group of Rebecca were nearly driven insane with expression of wild ecstasy in their eyes, especially for William's wife Rebecca and his daughter Caroline, who were most likely to win the position of vice-chairman.

However, instead of putting through the name of the vice-president, Lena chose to move on, "The last thing I'm going to announce is that Vesper Corporation will break off all business ties with the Ford Group!"
