Connor heard the response from everyone and nodded in satisfaction.

He turned his head and looked at Thomas, then said, “Alright, we can start the meeting now!”

“Good!”

Thomas nodded quickly and led Connor and the others into the conference room.

The shareholders followed behind Connor, and their expressions were visibly nervous.

According to the information they had, he was just an idle rich heir who never cared about the company’s affairs.

But after interacting with him today, they were surprised to find that he was not like the rumors suggested.

Connor didn’t look like a rich heir at all; he was very low-key.

This made the shareholders start to worry about his intentions for convening the shareholders’ meeting!

When Connor reached the door of the conference room, he suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Quenna, who was still standing there foolishly, unable to recover from her shock.

“Quenna, come in and join the meeting!”

Connor called out to Quenna softly.

After hearing his words, she couldn’t help but pause for a moment. She asked in a puzzled tone, “You want me to come in for the meeting?”

“Yes!”

Connor nodded gently.

“Mr. Connor, this person is not a shareholder. Normally, she doesn’t have the qualification to attend the meeting!” a shareholder hesitantly reminded Connor.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, not everyone could attend a shareholders’ meeting. These meetings were often used to discuss crucial matters regarding the company’s future, which were considered top commercial secrets. Employees like Quenna naturally didn’t have the qualification to attend.

“Whether she has the qualification or not, I have the final say!”

He replied expressionlessly, then continued, “From now on, Quenna will serve as the assistant to the chairman and the chairman’s secretary. Shouldn’t she have the qualification now?”

The crowd looked at him in astonishment once again, and Quenna’s expression was even more shocked. She never expected that she would be promoted to the position of the chairman’s assistant.

Being the chairman’s assistant came with a salary and benefits comparable to that of a vice president. She was just a secretary, so this promotion was a huge opportunity for her!

“Mr. Connor, are you sure you want this person to be the chairman’s assistant?” Thomas hesitated for a moment and asked Connor softly.

“Yes, it’s her!”

Connor nodded gently, then continued, “Since I don’t come to the company often, I will entrust all my work to Quenna. She will convey everything to me.”

“Alright!”

Thomas knew that Connor was not joking, so he nodded directly and said, “Let’s start the meeting now, and after the meeting, I will have the HR department handle these matters!”

“Okay!”

Connor agreed, then walked into the conference room.

Quenna stood still, looking at Connor’s back in a daze. Her expression was filled with disbelief because it felt like she was dreaming.

Just not being fired today was already a stroke of luck for Quenna. But she never expected that not only would she not be fired, she would be promoted to the chairman’s assistant.

Quenna felt like she was in a dream. Everything seemed so unreal.

And Thomas turned his head and glanced at Quenna, saying softly, “Quenna, you are now the assistant to the chairman, so technically, you can come in and join the shareholders’ meeting with Mr. Connor!”

After hearing his words, she paused for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Thomas…”

A moment later, Connor, Thomas, Quenna, and others entered the conference room.

Connor took a seat at the head of the table, while Thomas sat beside him, and Quenna stood behind him.

Perhaps it was her first time attending such a meeting, so her expression was still very nervous. Her small hands tightly held onto her clothes, unsure of what she should do.

Meanwhile, Connor sat calmly in his chair, his expression very composed.

The shareholders took their seats in order. At this moment, their expressions were all very tense because they didn’t know the purpose of Connor convening the shareholders’ meeting. Everyone cautiously observed him.

Of course, among these shareholders, Clyde was the most nervous.

After all, Clyde had just offended him, and he worried that if Connor wanted to retaliate, he would be in trouble.

“Mr. Connor, all the shareholders have arrived. The shareholders’ meeting can begin!” Thomas turned his head and looked at Connor, speaking softly to him.

“Okay…”

He nodded, scanned everyone present and said expressionlessly, “This shareholders’ meeting is the first one held since I took over Emperor Corporation. However, you don’t need to worry. Mr. Thomas will continue to manage the company’s affairs. I won’t intervene in the company’s matters unless there are special circumstances. And the purpose of convening this shareholders’ meeting is very simple…”

Everyone looked at Connor, unsure of what he was going to say.

“I want Emperor Corporation to acquire the development project of Metro Line 9 in Porthampton at any cost!” he said slowly.

Upon hearing his words, all the shareholders present showed expressions of astonishment. Even Thomas subconsciously turned his head to look at him because Thomas didn’t expect that he had convened the shareholders’ meeting for the Metro Line 9 project.

“Mr. Connor, indeed, the profit from this project is very significant, but it might be a bit late for us to participate in the bidding process…”

A shareholder hesitated for a moment and said softly to Connor.

“I know that it might be a bit late for us to join now, so when I said ‘at any cost,’ I meant we must secure this project no matter what. I don’t care what methods you use or how much it costs, even if we lose money, we must secure this project. Do you understand what I mean?”

Connor looked at the serious expressions of everyone and said.

In an instant, all the shareholders present were dumbfounded. It was at this moment that they finally understood his true intention!

Even if it meant losing money, they had to secure the Metro Line 9 project!

These shareholders didn’t understand why Connor would make such a decision!
