Chapter 506 - The emergency meeting (2) (2/2)

”Mother, what are you doing here?” Mr. Long asked his mother with a sigh as he quickly welcomed his mother in and helped the elder woman to take his chair. Jeremy, on the other hand, gave up his chair for his mother.

Jacob and the other secretary went out to get more chairs for Mr. Long, Jeremy, and Mika.

Stuart was hoping that the attention would not be on him. He made a terrible mistake. He forgot that Jeremy belonged to the Long even though he was still a young lad and inexperienced.

”I heard that you think my grandson is not suitable to be the CEO, Stuart,” the Dowager did not even both to beat around the bush. She stared at the man and used her favorite cane to stamp onto the thick carpet. Of course, with how thick the carpet was, the cane failed to make the sound she wanted and she frowned even more.

”I... I...” Stuart was scared when the Dowager gave that look at him.

”Why don't we look at the performance of these past six months?” Jeremy asked when he saw Jacob entered the room and nodded at him slightly.

Jacob quickly opened a file from the USB stick he brought. Before long, they were presented with a slide of the company's profit for the past six months.

Jacob started to present the profit for the months and emphasized how much the increased of profit since Jeremy started to work in the main company seriously. Jacob then turned to another slide to show the share's performance. Again, they were treated with the increase in that part as well since Jeremy helped his father seriously managing the company.

Stuart and his men were speechless. How could they 'attack' Jeremy when the facts showed how much they gained since Jeremy joined them?

Mika tried not to chuckle to see the defeated look on Stuart's face. Who asked that silly guy to try to 'bully' her elder brother?

”Do you have anything to say, Stuart?” the Dowager asked with a ċȯċk of an eyebrow. From the moment she came, she led the meeting automatically and her son was too happy to hand the power to her.

”N... no... nothing...”

”So do you agree for my grandson to lead the company? Does he has the capability to inherit his father's position?” the Dowager asked sarcastically.

Stuart gulped and shook his head quickly. How could he say Jeremy was useless for the company?

”Then, do we have a reason to be in this meeting any longer?” the Dowager asked. She never looked away from Stuart.

Everyone mumbled their 'no' while Jeremy and Mika smirked. Mr. and Mrs. Long, on the other hand, was busy looking at how the Dowager was controlling the situation. It was as if they were looking at the late Mr. Long elder when he was dealing the company.

Seemed like the Dowager could actually handling the company without problem if she wanted to after her husband passed away but she refused to do so and ordered her son to do it while she went to stay at the temple to pray for her husband's soul.

Of course, Mr. Long did not find any problem to inherit the company as he was already helping his late father before his father was diagnosed with cancer. Only his children, Mika and Jeremy actually wanted to step away from the main company and tried their luck on creating and working in their own company. In just two years, the sibling managed to bring the company to almost at the same level as the main company and even won several awards as a new entrepenuer. Mika also managed to put her fashion label in the fashion week despite being so new.

But now, as he wanted to spend his days with his lovely wife, he actually ordered Jeremy to get his buŧŧ into the main company and started to take over his job as what a good heir should do. He did not want his son to suddenly take over when he passed away as he did not want his son to face any difficulty among the other shareholders especially those old men. Even he had to be careful among them and he did not want his son to face the same thing he had to face even though he already started long before his father got sick.

”If there is nothing more, the meeting adjoined,” the Dowager said with a thump. She then stood up but instead of walking to the door, she looked at Stuart again.

”I hope the next time I come here, I won't have to hear any stupid excuse, okay, Stuart?”

Stuart sputtered something unintelligently but no one bothered to back him up so he was alone this time.

”Let's go, grandma, Jason has booked a table for us,” Mika said cheerfully as she wrapped her arm around her grandmother's arm.

Jeremy prepared to get into the elevator with the women but his father gave him a warning look. With a heavy sigh, he just sent the women to the elevator before followed behind his father to the office.

He guessed he could not skip the work today.
