Percy was expressionless when he mentioned his own name.
The shareholders could not help but wonder what Percy had in mind when they saw him like that. It did not look like
he was getting dismissed at all.
To be able to read the proposal out loud in such a calm voice, it was either Percy had a well-thought-out plan that
would ensure the proposal would be voted down, or he was giving up his position.
The minor shareholders could not figure it out. The major shareholders who owned more shares were even more
confused.
Old Master Mallory had already informed them in advance, and they had made known their position on this. Some
people supported Percy, but most of the shareholders showed respect to Old Master Mallory by supporting Pierre...
That was why Percy would definitely lose time.
Even so, Percy, who had never lost in any competition, could still keep himself so calm. Was he waiting for a miracle
to happen?
Everyone was secretly curious about it.
After giving his speech, Percy returned to his seat and sat down.
Even though the seats were arranged side by side, there was the title of the chairman of the board on Percy's seat.
Pierre was green with envy when he saw that.
Previously, before Percy was together with Nina, Pierre had never been so desperate nor longed for the position.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe never expected he would be going up against Percy one day. Percy was the one who took away everything he
had.
Now, all Pierre wanted was to sit in that position that was supposed to belong to him!
"Soon." Pierre muttered to himself.
After Percy gave his speech, the manager of the PR department walked to the podium and continued to chair the
meeting.
"Let's proceed to the first and only proposal of the meeting, which is to dismiss Percy Mallory from his post as CEO
and nominate Pierre as the CEO of Mallory Corporation. I'd like to invite Mr. Pierre up here to share his thoughts
with us."
Pierre rose to his feet and stood up straight. He looked at everyone in the hall with a victorious smile.
Among the numerous shareholders of the company, most of the shareholders were supporting him.
Pierre walked up to the podium and began giving his speech, "Good morning, dear shareholders. My name is Pierre
Mallory. It's a great honor to be nominated as a candidate to become the next CEO. If I..."
Percy listened to Pierre's speech calmly. He looked down and took out his phone under the table. Then, he glanced
at the local online forum on the internet.
The news Percy had asked his men to post on the internet was already on the homepage.
Percy kept his phone away. The only thing left now was to let these people know.
Pierre's speech was lengthy. It was all about how he would be leading Mallory Corporation to success after he
became the CEO and how he would develop Mallory Corporation's business.
His speech lasted for 20 minutes, and he still had not stopped talking.
Luca listened to Pierre's speech in her office. She also noticed the changes in the live chat of the broadcast.
The speech sounded professional at the beginning. However, the public eventually started complaining Pierre for
being so long-winded. What he said sounded like a pie in the sky. Eventually, people commented and urged others
to head to the online forum.
Luca immediately picked up her phone and opened the local online forum. She smiled after staring at her phone for
a while. Percy was finally starting to bring out the big guns.
She continued to watch the live broadcast on the computer.
Five minutes later, Pierre was done giving his speech.
Pierre walked down the podium with a provocative look on his face and turned to look at Percy. Then, he returned
to his seat.
The manager of the PR department continued to walk up to the podium and said, “Next, let's invite the chairman of
Mallory Corporation to come forward.”
Percy stood up and strode toward the podium.
Pierre looked at him from behind and secretly sneered at him. 'It's pointless.'
If he was Percy, he would have given up. Percy knew he would lose, but he was still struggling to fight. It was
embarrassing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPercy came to the podium. He tidied his suit coat, then his tie.
Nina had chosen the tie for him this morning, and she tied it for him. She even kissed him and wished him all the
best.
Everything would go well with Nina by his side.
"Thank you, Mr. Pierre, for the enlightening speech. He mentioned the company's development just now, which is
also the vision of Mallory Corporation. So, there's no need for me to repeat that. I've been working in Mallory
Corporation ever since I graduated from university. I eventually became the chairman of the board and the person
in charge of the company. The profitability of Mallory Corporation has been gradually increasing during this period.
We also found our long-term business partner during this time. If the CEO of the corporation is replaced, the
company's partners might change their minds too. I believe everyone knows this well." Percy paused a few times,
observing the reactions of the shareholders.
His implication was that if Mallory Corporation fell into Pierre's hands, T Corporation would no longer be a close
partner of Mallory Corporation anymore.
When Percy stopped talking, some of the shareholders could not help but start to discuss with each other in a low
voice.
They were optimistic about the business partnership between Mallory Corporation and T Corporation. If a new CEO
was brought in, the partnership would immediately end. The company might lose some business while looking for a
new partner. It also might affect the company's profits.
