Rebirth: We Split Ways.. novel Chapter 114

Her eyes were scanning around, finally landing on Director Howard's body. Lightly twisting her lips and teeth, she asked, "What do you mean?"

"You will need to come up with some performance raise to show everyone and prove your abilities. I think it's better to do it this way… just thirty percent? If within a year, you can enhance the company's performance by thirty percent, then the president position is yours. That is if everyone here is convinced, if not... I'm afraid it's going to be hard to convince the public."

The moment Director Howard said this, the crowd also looked as if they were watching an interesting show.

How was it possible to accomplish a thirty percent boost in performance? Even Vincent had not been able to achieve such a level.

So, they were clearly making things difficult for her!

"Director Howard, you and I both know that for a multinational conglomerate like Diamoson Corp., it's not easy to raise the points by even ten percent, but you're asking for a thirty percent raise. What are you thinking? What’s the point?" Kevin could not help but rebut.

None of the other people dared to stand up and speak!

Director Howard was unimpressed and said with disinterest, "Oh, this is the only way to prove Ms. Reed's ability! If she can accomplish this target, not just me, but all the other directors will have no problem with her being the president."

"You!" Kevin was furious beyond words.

Penelope, however, stopped him, then raised her eyes and looked at Director Howard calmly as if she was not affected.

"Is Director Howard serious about this?"

He spread his hands. "Of course! Does Ms. Reed dare to accept this challenge?"

Penelope smiled faintly and said, "Since Director Howard has said so, it would be unreasonable for me not to accept the challenge, but..."

She did not continue, but the large conference room was abuzz.

"She actually dared to take the bait! I'm afraid she doesn’t know what thirty percent performance actually means!"

"Thirty percent performance means that the company's business will have to expand by one-third and double its profits in order to realize it."

"If she can do that, it's a pipe dream!"

"Alas, it's true that she's still too young. The younger generation is too bold and thinks they could do anything."

The moment these words came out, the scene was quiet.

"Director Howard, think twice before you act. This is no joke."

"You have been in the company for so many years and made so many contributions. Don't try to be a hero."

Director Howard, however, waved his hand with a determined look, signaling them not to say anything more. "Since I dared to say it, I will definitely do it."

Penelope raised her eyebrows. "Good! Since Director Howard said so, let's make a deal."

After the board meeting ended…

Kevin followed Penelope back to the office. At that moment, he had a worried look on his face. "Miss, Director Howard and the others are obviously making things difficult for you. Why do you need to make this bet with them? Nowadays, it's really a bit difficult to accomplish thirty percent of the performance."

How could Penelope not know that?
