Chapter 1022 They Will Not Listen To Her
Arielle narrowed her eyes and replied in an icy voice, “I’ve mentioned this before. You are to address me as ‘Madam Chairman.’“
The look on the balding man’s face tensed up instantly upon hearing that.
He wanted to burst out laughing at her but found himself unable to say a word in the face of her domineering aura.
After a long moment of silence, the balding man was finally able to regain his composure and forced the words out of his mouth. “M-Madam Chairman…”
Arielle nodded and clasped her hands together as she eyed everyone at the table.
“It’s fine if we don’t have everyone in attendance today. I’m just here to inform you all that Southall Group will be renamed to Moore Group starting today. I’ll get the paperwork done at the bank in a bit. All right, that will be all. Meeting dismissed!”
The balding man leaped to his feet and protested, “Ms. Moore… I mean, Madam Chairman, how could you just change the company’s name like that? Mr. Campbell isn’t even here today.”
Okay, this guy is one of Jacob’s lackeys, I see.
“I’ve already informed everyone in the group chat, so him being absent is none of my concern,” Arielle stated calmly as she stood up.
“Even so, we still have to discuss this with the other directors.”
“It’s just a name change. As chairperson of this company, I can make that decision without discussing it with all of you.”
Arielle’s eyes were filled with so much disdain that the man began sweating anxiously.
“Y-You…”
“That’s enough. I’m going to take a look at the AI technology department so you guys can get back to work now.” Arielle then ignored him and left the conference room after that.
The balding man wanted to go after her, but Sasha blocked his path at the door.
He tried to force his way past her out of desperation, only to have Sasha slam him against the floor with a shoulder throw.
“This is for your medical fees,” she muttered while tossing a check at him before catching up to Arielle outside.
“Outrageous! Simply outrageous!” the balding man shouted, prompting the others in the conference room to follow suit.
They had seen plenty of deception and manipulation in power struggles, but Arielle was the first to use such a direct and brutal approach.
It was so shocking and unusual that they could not even tell if she was naïve or simply plain stupid.
I’ve never been humiliated like this in my entire life! Just you wait, Arielle. I’ll be sure to get my revenge on you once you get overthrown! Without your title as chairman, there’s nothing a mere woman like you can do about it!
With that thought in mind, the bald man felt a little better about himself and called Jacob after leaving the conference room.
“Mr. Campbell, that girl showed up today, claiming she’s going to rename the company as Moore Group.”
“What?” Jacob froze for a moment before continuing, “Forget it. Let her be. I don’t care about the name.”
I’ll rename the company to Campbell Group when I become chairman, anyway!
Meanwhile, Oliver, too, received a phone call about the name change.
“She’s renaming it to Moore Group? Haha! That’s not a bad name! Let her be!”
My family name is Moore, so she’ll just save me the trouble of renaming the company when I rise to power!
“By the way, Mr. Moore, Arielle is on her way to the AI technology department right now.”
“Let her be. The team of designers working there doesn’t respect me even though I’m in charge of that department, so they sure as hell won’t listen to her!”
“Understood.”
After hanging up the phone, Oliver got out of his car and entered the office building of his restaurant franchise.
Jacob, too, owned a company of his own.
Although both of their medium-sized enterprises were not as grand as Moore Group, they were still rather lucrative businesses.
