Eudora did not give an explanation and only gave a faint smile upon hearing that.
âWell, we were just about to go to the kitchen. Why donât we go and have a look?â
âFine, letâs go! Letâs see how youâre going to to cover up the lie!â
Soon, the shareholders followed behind her.
â¦
When they arrived at the kitchen, they could already feel the energetic atmosphere in the room.
There were sounds of pots, bowls, pans, and people talking and shouting. In short, compared to the lifeless atmosphere from before, it was a completely different world.
As soon as they entered, the shareholders immediately noticed that there was a white bottle beside every chef.
After the food was cooked, the chefs would add a few drops of the liquid from the bottle before serving it onto the plate.
Nick immediately took the bottle and said, âHow dare you say that you didnât deceive us? What is this? How can a person like you lead our company? If you had brought this out earlier, the company wouldnât have had to suffer!â
âYouâve gone too far!â
The other shareholders did not want to make trouble at first. They had just followed Nick to have a look. Now, they could not calm down after seeing that.
âExactly! If you had taken this out earlier, our group would not have suffered so much!â
They all sounded righteous. If Eudora really had given this to them, perhaps Valiant East would no longer belong to the Granger family.
Eudora just calmly quirked the corners of her lips and said, âHave you finished talking? If youâre done, please have a taste of whatâs in the bottle.â
Everyone was stunned, âIsnât it the secret ingredient in the recipe?â
Eudora did not speak anymore. Nick took the lead to open the lid, put a drop of the liquid in his hand, and observed it.
It was colorless and transparent!
He lowered his head and sniffed it, but there was no smell at all. It was a bit strange!
He dipped his finger into it and put it into his mouth. The next second, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Eudora in disbelief.
At the same time, the rest of the people also looked at him eagerly, âWhat is it?â
Nick shook his head and said, âThatâs impossible!â
He went to another chef, took another bottle, and tried it. He even stopped one of the waiters from serving a dish and took a bite of the food.
In the end, he walked up to Eudora.
He asked her with a face full of doubt, âWhat the hell is going on?â
Eudora did not give an immediate answer.
Instead, she said, âThereâs too much smoke here. Letâs continue this topic in the office upstairs!â
After that, she turned around and walked away.
The shareholders surrounded Nick in confusion and asked, âWhatâs going on? What did you realize?â
Nick said with a serious face, âIâm afraid that we donât know much about our new president.â
The other people looked at each other in dismay. What was the meaning of this?
â¦
They were in the office upstairs and everyone sat down.
Only then did someone voice out eagerly, âWhat the hell is going on?â
Eudora curved her lips and smiled, âThis is the secret ingredient. Why donât you all give it a try?â
The shareholders took the so-called secret ingredient from Eudoraâs hand and tasted it. They were also instantly stunned.
âI-Isnât this just water?â
âItâs mineral water, to be exact!â Clint added.
âTheyâre the same thing! Could this mineral water be the secret ingredient?â
Eudora nodded, âDidnât you guys see it? Our chefs used it to make such delicious dishes. Do you all have any other objections?â
Everyone fell silent. All of this was too unbelievable, wasnât it?
âCould it be that the mineral water is custom made?â someone asked curiously.
Eudora shook her head, âItâs just ordinary mineral water.â
âWhy?â Nick asked, âHow could it be?â
Seeing that he was asking an important question, Eudora smiled and said, âItâs due to confidence! When a person loses confidence, they can no longer do anything. Iâve already said last time that thereâs no secret recipe in Valiant East! The one I took out the last time was the real secret recipe. You just have to put your heart and soul into it. After so many years, it has been proven that there shouldnât be any problems in Valiant East as long as we put our heart and soul into everything we do.
âRecently, there has been so much turmoil. First, the stock incident, then the changing of the president, and many more. Sebastian had never focused on managing Valiant East Catering. If even the leader wasnât motivated, how could the employees themselves feel passionate about their job?â
Everyone looked at Eudora in surprise. Suddenly, they felt that the weak woman in front of them was shining bright like a diamond at that moment.
Eudora wore a smile on her face.
She continued, âWhatâs more, the pressure of public opinion had been so great that they were completely defeated.â
âHonestly, when I went to the kitchen, the chef wasnât even interested in cooking the dishes anymore. They couldnât even season the food properly. How could they be in the mood to make delicious food? Therefore, I had asked someone to give them the so-called secret ingredient. I made them think that they hadnât done well because they didnât have the secret ingredient. It turned out that my plan worked.â
After Eudora finished speaking, the room was quiet again.
Everyone looked at Eudora awkwardly. Just now, they had come to make trouble. However, they did not expect her to be so capable.
Someone took the lead and said, âMiss George, Iâm sorryâ¦â
Eudora blanked out for a moment, and someone else also followed.
âMiss George, you should also know what weâre actually here for. However, youâve still explained so much to us. Weâre reallyâ¦â
Eudora got up in a hurry, âThereâs no need to apologize! Weâre all in the same boat. We have to work hard together for Valiant East. I wouldnât know how to face you all if you act like this!â
She spoke in a proper and respectful manner.
At first, everyone had been feeling a little guilty. However, they were now impressed.
âMiss George, we wonât be dissatisfied with you anymore. Weâll leave Valiant East to you. No matter what you say in the future, weâll follow your orders.â
âYes! Miss George is fully qualified to be the president.â
âValiant East finally has a new president!â
Hearing that, Nick, who was keeping quiet, raised his head and looked at Eudora. There was slight disdain in his eyes. He still felt that Eudora was waiting for the day she became the president.
Everything she had done so far was to become the president.
However, to everyoneâs surprise, Eudora shook her head, âThank you all for your kind words, but I have no intention of being the president. Thatâs not my position to hold. It used to belong to Amos, and it will belong to his child in the future. Before that, Iâll help take care of the company first!â
Suddenly, Nick felt a burning sensation on his cheeks. He frowned and lowered his head.
Eudora looked at Nick and asked, âWhat do you think? Do you have any other ideas, Mr. Lance?â
Nick gently coughed and said, âItâs all good!â
âAlright! I still have something else to do. I have to leave first. If thereâs nothing else, you all can go back to take a rest!â
When she left the office, Clint asked, âWhy were you so nice to them just now? Those old foxes should be taught a good lesson.â
Eudora shook her head. âSomeone once told me that if you canât get rid of someone, youâll have to make them submit to you.â
Clint pursed his lips and said, âIt must be President Granger who said thatâ¦â
Realizing what he had just said, he quickly shut his mouth.
