Suzanne had endured for three days, all for this moment. Everyone was taken aback and stared at Suzanne in shock. She was so imposing!
From the very beginning, Suzanne had remained calm and hadn't engaged in any arguments. She had been allowing Jessica to insult her. And now, she had suddenly presented her work and slapped Jessica in the face with it.
This was just like a plot from a satisfying revenge novel. Many people now looked at Suzanne with a hint of admiration in their eyes.
Jessica crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Suzanne as if she had just heard the most ridiculous joke. "Fire me? What on earth are you talking about in your delirium?"
Suzanne was just an unpopular daughter of the family. There was nothing for her to be so arrogant about. Even the onlookers were a bit confused. What reason could she possibly have to fire Jessica?
Seline was seething with anger, but she had to force herself to hold it in.
She looked at Suzanne and gently tried to persuade her, saying, "Sue, although you're a shareholder, you don't actually have the power to fire an employee."
This bitch! She had just joined the company and already wanted to fire someone on Seline's side? She was simply daydreaming!
Everyone's expressions froze. Shareholder?
Jessica looked at Suzanne with extreme disdain and sneered, "Acting so arrogantly even though you're not in the management? Do you really think you're someone important?"
She had thought Suzanne was really something special. But now, it seemed that she was just average.
Several employees who were on good terms with Jessica and Seline stepped forward one after another.
"Yeah, you don't have the right to fire the deputy manager."
"She's just relying on the fact that her work is okay and showing off here."
The group of them took turns to mock Suzanne with their words.
Seline finally felt a bit more at ease. So what if Suzanne had some talent in design? She was still nothing in the end.
She stepped forward with a worried look on her face. Looking at Suzanne as if she was doing her a favor, she said, "Sue, you can't do this. It'll be bad for your image."
"You... You got in through connections. Why can't I have special requirements for you? For normal people, they have to go through interviews and multiple rounds of selection!" As Jessica said this, she suddenly felt confident again.
Since Suzanne got into the company through connections, she should be treated differently. However... The atmosphere in the office suddenly turned a bit strange. Jessica seemed to sense something was off too.
Before she could react, someone couldn't hold back and asked, "Does Ms. Suzanne really need to go through multiple rounds of selection? She just skipped that step. With her skills, she's the kind of talent many design companies are desperate to recruit. It's our company's luck that she joined us directly like this..."
"I think so too..."
Jessica's eyes widened in shock. Furious, she immediately turned to look at the two people who had spoken. These two had always been uncooperative with her, but because of their excellent technical skills, she hadn't been able to get rid of them!
Seline's expression also became quite complicated. "Sue, I think you might be overthinking this. Jessica has been by my side for many years. She has indeed been diligent and hardworking. Even if she doesn't have any major achievements, she has put in a lot of effort. Maybe we should—"
Before she could finish her sentence, Suzanne immediately looked at her with a cold and stern gaze. "You can go to Dad now and ask for some shares. If he gives them to you, then you'll have the right to speak at the shareholders' meeting."
Seline's eyes widened in shock. That bitch! She was so angry that she could barely maintain her composure.
The expressions of everyone else in the room also changed.
