The meeting was finally over. Some executives stayed behind and chatted. But most of the people started leaving, including Carla and Andrea.
Walking out of the Hua Group's building, Carla couldn't stop smiling. She felt so refreshed and happy.
She not only transferred her burdens to someone else but now she could also sit back and just wait for money to come to her. How great was that?
She had none of the worries and didn't have to do any work. But money would still roll in. She was beyond thrilled even just thinking about it.
"Callie, you are in a good mood. What happened back there? What did you tell Noah? What made him suddenly change his mind? He was so adamant before," Andrea asked out of curiosity. She looked relieved, yet worried. Carla didn't promise him anything, did she?
During the general meeting of stockholders, Noah was planning to announce that he was going to cash his shares and withdraw them from the company. That would have been disastrous. But suddenly he changed his mind after Carla talked to him.
Andrea was dying to know what happened. Noah had been stubborn his whole life. Once he made up his mind, it couldn't be changed, no matter what. Yet, somehow, Carla managed to convince him otherwise. How did she do it?
"Mom, that's a secret between him and me. The only thing you should know is that you have a reliable son right now. You don't have to worry about other things," Carla replied with a mysterious smile on her face.
"All right then. Go ahead and keep your mom in suspense. Look at you, you are so happy. I guess I don't have to worry about anything then. But it will be so much better if Noah figured everything out before this meeting. You know how close he cut it back there. But still, it isn't too late. If Noah can fully concentrate on the Hua Group from now on, I don't have to worry about it anymore. Maybe I can even retire soon!"
A relieved and delighted smile spread over Andrea's face.
Maybe one had to go through hardships so that he or she could gain some experiences and understand how life worked. One would realize that life wasn't going to be easy or go his or her way all the time. Maybe Noah had finally figured things out.
"Callie, you are a lucky charm to mom and our family! Since you came back, things have been going well for us. I originally thought that the Hua Group wouldn't overcome the difficulties this time. If Noah suddenly cashed his shares in, we would have all been at a loss. Although the AJ Group was very supportive throughout the whole process, those shareholders couldn't reach an agreement on this matter. But since Noah changed his mind, we don't have to go through all the trouble! The shares are still in our family's hands. I believe that everything will be smooth sailing from here on out,"
Andrea said as her voice filled with excitement. If Noah did what he had planned and started a new company by himself, things would have become complicated. Since the Hua Group needed to pay for the shares Noah would have cashed in, it would eventually have issues with its yearly capital turnover. Many projects would be on hold due to a cash flow problem. What's more, the whole company would be in a complete mess due to the lack of a competent leader.
It would have undoubtedly been a disaster for them.
But in the general meeting of stockholders today, Noah surprisingly didn't bring up his plan. Instead, Carla announced some news. She declared that she had won the merger case with the L Company, and that the L Company would officially integrate with the Hua Group soon.
That was surprising, but welcome news. It was going to be a new chapter for the Hua Group.
What's more, Carla was great at her job. After she won the merger case for the company, no one dared to talk behind her back and doubt her ability as the new vice president of the company anymore.
It took sustained efforts to achieve one's goal and it wasn't going to happen overnight. Carla learned that the hard way. What's more, Carla also had to overcome the prejudice that came from her being part of the Hua family.
If she hadn't worked diligently in the company so that the shareholders all thought highly of her, she wouldn't have had a chance to become the vice president of the company at all. It was nice to see that Carla's hard work finally paid off.
"When are you going back to JA City? I got a call from my future son-in-law. He said that if you don't want to come back, he will fly here and take you back home himself. Ha-ha."
Andrea burst into laughter. It seemed that everything was finally falling into place. After the problems had been solved in the Hua Group, she had to put some thoughts into her precious daughter's plans for her upcoming marriage.
Carla raised her eyebrows and made no reply. When she looked outside the car window and saw the tall, white building of the Hua Group retreating behind her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had never felt so relaxed and happy in her entire life.
Before Carla left the company today, she found Helen and asked her if she wanted to leave. If Helen wasn't willing to stay in this company anymore, she would choose some other companies for her.
But Helen turned down her offer, point-blank. She said that it didn't matter where her workplace was. And she knew that the Hua Group was almost Carla's. What's more, Carla would marry Terence one day. So there was no point if she switched to another company since she would still work for them.
Hearing her explanation, Carla didn't insist anymore. She knew Helen was loyal and wanted to work for her and Terence.
Carla's phone suddenly rang. Without looking at the caller ID, she picked up the phone and said, "Hello."

You finally answered my call! Don't hang up! Mom said you didn't want to see me. I wanted to talk to you but I'm afraid that it would have upset you.
