Chapter 6154
A long-awaited call finally came when Harvey York finished his matters.
Harvey looked at the number on the screen when he froze momentarily.
“It’s been a while, Yvonne.”
“The outskirts must be real fun, huh?”
Yvonne Xavier spoke in a playful yet angsty tone.
It was only normal. Yvonne had been handling Harvey’s matters in South Light, the Golden Sands, and Mordu. 2 Yvonne was a reliable help, but even she was utterly swamped by all the work thrown at her.
Harvey gave an awkward chuckle.
“It’s alright. Thanks for helping me out with everything.
“I’ll head over to you in two days. Are you in Mordu or South Light right now?”
“Neither. I’m in Wolsing,” replied Yvonne quietly.
“Wolsing? What are you doing there for?”
Harvey froze. He never asked Yvonne to go there in the first place.
“Did you think I wanted to come?
Yvonne heaved a sigh.
“You should know you’re one of the board members of Country H Commercial Group, right?”
“Am I?
Harvey seemed confused.
“I’m a part of the group?”
“You are. I also signed up for you,” replied Yvonne sternly.
“That said, it’s not that big of a deal either. All I did was make a copy of the application for you in the daily report.
“Judging from how busy you are, you probably didn’t read the email I sent you.”
Harvey turned on his laptop while he was utterly speechless.
He checked his inbox before finding a three-month-old email he had not seen.
“And what about it? Is there a problem with me being a board member?” Harvey asked.
“Not really,” replied Yvonne.
“That said, the chairman decided to retire early because of his health.
“And since the branches within the organization are extremely complicated, no suitable successor was chosen to replace the chairman.
“Through a massive internal voting, you ended up being chosen.
“This means you’ll be the next chairman of the organization.”
Harvey’s eyes twitched when he rubbed his temples.
“Hold on. Let me get this straight.
“You applied for a position as a board member for me three months ago.
“The chairman decided to retire not long after.
“And I was chosen as the next chairman?
“This doesn’t make any sense!”
“I thought so too,” Yvonne replied.
“But, I figured something out after that.
“It’s said that every board member had only a single vote.
“None of them could vote for themselves either.
“Since they were reluctant to vote for the others, and that there was a low chance that the votes would end up in their own branches…
“They decided to give their votes to you instead.
“You ended up being chosen this way.
“Based on the procedure, you’ll have to appoint yourself as the chairman here in a few weeks.”
Harvey’s eyes twitched.
“And if I don’t go?”
“It’d be treated as disrespect, and the organization will view you as an enemy.
“The organization will blacklist Sky Corporation throughout the entire country as a result.
“I’m afraid you’ll have to come no matter what, Sir York.
“I arranged the fastest flight for you bound for Wolsing.”
Harvey curled his lips.
“Maybe we should figure out something else…
“Wolsing…”
