Chapter 548 âWill Charmine be able to manage the company? Sheâs only twenty-three, and she doesnât have any experience working in the architecture industry.â âI share the same concern. Although sheâs loaded, money doesnât really get you anywhere in the industry.
If we stay with her, and if the company loses money, we wonât get any dividend at the end of the year!â
âI heard someone else managed her RisingHawk, that all she does is throw money to gain fame. Itâs something only the nouveau riche would do!â âExactly! She gave out houses when thatâs the shareholdersâ money. These were all the profits of the shareholders! She spends so much money and wasted all the profits!â
âAt least Tiffany majored in economics and also interned in the company from a small assistant. Charmine didnât even go to college, but now sheâs our Director just because sheâs rich?â
âThat does it! Once she gets here, weâll have to ask her properly. If she doesnât convince us, weâll make her return the seat to Senior Jordan or even Adam!â
The ten of them complained and voiced their concerns.
To professionals like them, they looked down on nouveau riche who knew nothing about the field.
Meanwhile, a steady pace was heard walking toward them. Click, click, click..
Everyone turned to see Charmine walking in from the outside, dressed in a womenâs suit with a black pencil skirt to match. She exuded an air of elegance, power, and authority. 1 The groupâs complaints died down when they saw her, their words lodged at their throats. 1 Walking in, Charmine then went toward the presidentâs seat and sat on it. She glanced around the room and said, âI know you have doubts. Feel free to speak;
letâs fix them.â Instead of being doubted, it was better to hear them out. She could only solve the companyâs crisis with their genuine approval and support. The crowd did not expect Charmine to be so direct. After the group exchanged glances, a man in his thirties said, âCharmine, since youâre so straightforward, let me be honest with you. The Jordan Group makes profits by selling properties in all the cities across the country. Its seems easy and simple on the surface, and outsiders might even say, âJust build and sell the properties,â right? 1 âHowever, thereâre many things that you donât see on the surface. There are many things you donât know and donât understand.
âLetâs take house-designing as an example. The reason why our houses are award-winning is that even though the tall houses were built right next to one another, there is not one dark room in each house, meaning that the air and sunlight circulate well in each room of the houses! âAs the director of the board and the Jordan Groupâs president, what do you know? Do you understand the hundreds of proposals we submit monthly? Do you know which proposal stands out and which doesnât? Would you know which design would bring us the highest return?â
The man voiced out his concerns and doubts against Charmine.
He was the Special Teamâs Director of Design, Brandon Jordan. He was only 35, with hundreds of designers working under him in the company. He was well-known in the designing industry, having designed the best-selling properties. That was the fuel to his arrogance as he spoke to Charmine, unconvinced and unwilling to work under Charmine, the nouveau riche. Charmine met up his gaze emotionlessly. âWho said I donât understand designing diagrams? Where did you hear this rumor?â
Rumor?
Charmine called that a rumor? Brandon pushed up his thin glasses and eyed Charmine with displeasure. âThis is the truth. We wouldnât accuse you for no reason; everyone knows that you havenât been to a college. What makes you think you can understand the design diagrams?â 1 âTo see if she understands or not, why not just hand her a few design diagrams? Whatâs the point of arguing with her?â a middle-aged man in his fifties could not help adding in.
He was the companyâs Executive Director, Peter Jordan. He was in charge of many things and liked giving out orders. Originally, the Director was Senior Jordan, not a young lady who was merely 23. How could he stand being bossed around by such a young woman? After Brandon heard that, he curled up his lips before taking out five design diagrams and pushed them toward Charmine. âIf you can tell the problems in these five diagrams, Iâll have no problem with you being the Director,â he spoke with a challenging tone. She had no rights to be the companyâs director, that was what Brandon implied.
