Chapter 1035
In Mr.Pearce's lead, many board members agreed with Mr.Holden's statement.
"Well, since everyone agrees with Mr.Holden, then let's raise our hands and vote for an acting chairman."
Jared was alone and could only preside according to the majority opinion now.
"Max, you will preside over the election of the acting chairman," Jared said.
"Okay."
"I will call out the names of the board members in order, and everyone will raise their hands to vote.We will elect the one with the most votes as the acting chairman." Max announced the voting rules.
"Starting with Jared, all those who vote for Jared as acting chairman raise their hands.Jared has eight votes."
"All those who vote for Mr.Holden as acting chairman raise their hands.Mr.Holden, four votes."иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"Raise your hand for Mr.Pearce as acting chairman.Three votes for Mr.Pearce."
"All those who vote for Henry to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.Henry has twelve votes."
"All those who voted for Mr.Campbell to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.-Mr.Campbell five votes."
"Finally, I announce Henry will act as acting chairman of the company in the absence of Mr.Johnston Sr.," Max announced.
The room erupted in applause as Henry stood up pretentiously to look at those who had elected him.
"I hope that during my time as acting chairman, we can work together to boost our company's performance before I hand back the helm to Mr.Johnston Sr.Thank you all, especially to Jared, for his support."
"You just saw it; those are his men.That those weasels were sitting there meant they had come prepared.Even if I could stop them today, there is tomorrow and the day after.One day, they are going to make things even worse, and then it will be hard to control."
Jared was avoiding a head-on collision with Henry now.
During a time when Mr.Johnston Sr.was still in intensive care, angering him would make things worse.
"So, what do we do now? We are only halfway through the cooperation with Martin."
Max was worried that Henry would cause trouble for Jared.
"We will go ahead with the cooperation with Martin.You tell Claus to speed up the process and come up with a revenue analysis as soon as possible.Even if there are objections, as long as we have the data in hand, those directors are not stupid, and they won't let a wonderful project go by without seizing it.They won't sacrifice their wallet to help Henry."
In Jared's eyes, those people's minds were like exhibits in front of him; he knew them too well.
