Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 575

When it was time for the meeting, the crowd around Lindsey finally dispersed. Lindsey rubbed her ears, which were a little numb by the noise, then walked over to the conference room in her high heels.

As long as Lindsey did not use her hand for any work that required much effort, then it was not obvious that she had a wound on her arm because it was covered by her jacket.

Everyone who attended the meeting yesterday was present for today’s meeting. Shaun asked them to go back and think about it last night. He also printed the information so that everyone could vote on it today.

Lindsey went through Hemera’s current situation before she left work yesterday and finally came to the same conclusion as Shaun. It was still not the end of the road yet. As long as they invested enough in this project, coupled with excellent technical support, Hemera would be able to survive. Once they get past this hurdle, Hemera's R&D on this project would go on very smoothly.

In this situation, Lindsey could not vote against it.

Shaun did not babble on and quickly started the vote. Lindsey only hesitated for a moment and immediately voted for the project to continue.

She was not sure how the others would vote.

Shaun’s assistant, Grant, collected everyone's votes, summarized them, and gave them to Shaun.

Shaun took a look at it and could not help but sweep a glance at everyone present. Even though it was just a vote, everyone looked a bit apprehensive as Shaun’s glance made them a bit nervous.

"I'm very surprised by the results." Shaun looked at everyone and said word by word.

No one said anything as they were waiting for his next words.

Shaun did not keep them waiting. After a pause, he continued, "Three-quarters of you feel that the project should continue."

As soon as Shaun spoke, Grant cooperated by placing the results on the projector behind him. Sure enough, just as Shaun mentioned, the majority voted for the project to continue. This came as a surprise to Lindsey and Shaun.

In such a situation where he was looking at a total loss, he did not expect to get so many people's support.

It seemed that most of them could see this project’s great prospects after they got past the current predicament. However, it was only a prospect if they managed to survive. If they could not, then it would be a huge loss.

"Looks like I'm under a lot of pressure now with all of your support," Shaun jokingly said to lighten the atmosphere in the conference room.

Everyone was amused and laughed. Shaun then said, "It seems to be very difficult to make a profit now with this project as it requires a lot of investment and the latest technology. Since everyone voted for it to continue, the next phase will be tough. Everyone here will need to think about how to pull in investment and get technological support so that we can have a breakthrough."

Shaun said quite a bit about the current predicament and the outlook for the future, but not about what would happen if they could not make it through this. His attitude inexplicably gave everyone strength and confidence.

Lindsey watched as Shaun spoke, and for the first time, she felt that Shaun had the gift of leadership. His voice was not very loud, but his words carried power and there was no doubt about his ability.

Arthur was a real stunner, paired with his towering height, he quickly became the focus of the crowd no matter where he went. Many of the young parents at the entrance of the kindergarten simply could not walk away when they saw Arthur.

However, Arthur was giving off aloof vibes, so they only dared to watch from afar and dared not approach. When Lindsey looked over, she found that although no parents dared to approach Arthur, a little one was hugging his leg.

It was a little girl in a tiny pink dress who only looked to be about two or three years old. She probably just started kindergarten not long ago and was so adorable and chubby.

She hugged Arthur's legs with both arms as she looked up at Arthur, who was a giant in her eyes. She then said with a baby voice, "Mister, you’re so handsome! You look even better than my dad. Can I be your girlfriend?"

The girl’s father went to pick her up. When he saw that his precious daughter ran to a stranger and hugged that young man’s leg, he was very unhappy. He could not pry her away from the stranger and this little girl even dared to diss him like this.

The young father immediately looked glum and glared at Arthur like he was a kidnapper trying to steal his baby daughter. It felt like he could pounce on Arthur and fight him at any moment.

Arthur stared at this tiny thing with annoyance and swept a glance at Lindsey, who was just watching the show from the side, then felt even more annoyed.

"Let go of me!" Arthur looked at the little girl who was not even tall enough to reach his thigh and said with a less intimidating tone.

However, it would be useless even if he used a more intimidating tone as this little girl was relentless. Even at a young age, this girl already had an eye for handsome men and did not seem to be intimidated by anything.
