The board members greeted each other and greeted Finn, the chairman of the board. At the beginning of the meeting, they entered the theme-voting.
"... At that time, Miss Kate went back to the Bishop Group to complete the task and then vote for the second shareholder," Finn's secretary said, showing the electronic speech screen behind him. "We have already prepared the voting channel. The app for voting can be seen in the group of the Bishop Group's shareholders. Now, all the shareholders, please start voting."
Kate's fingers tightened. Mrs. Bishop secretly held her hand and motioned for her to calm down.
Kate then breathed out a sigh of relief. Yes, just now, her father came in and greeted so many people, and all of them still respected her father as before. For her father's sake, it was impossible for all of them to oppose her returning to the company!
"Wait a minute." Someone interrupted. "What's wrong? The last vote was anonymous. Did you vote directly in public this time?"
The person who asked was Mr. Max, who had been opposed to Kate's coming back.
But this was also Finn's idea. He wanted to remind these shareholders that all the people who had invested in the company were in the eyes of him, the chairman of the board.
Because now, through this voting procedure, they could see who would vote for the vote or vote for the vote!
"Mr. Max, this is my vote," the secretary stood up and said sensibly. She looked at Kate and said, "I'm thinking that since this is the last time I confirm that Miss Elder will not come back to the company, then everyone will vote with an open attitude. Whether you like it or not, the reason is clear to everyone on the stage. We are all shareholders of Bishop Group and have common interests, so everyone's opinions are very important."
The shareholders on both sides of the conference table immediately said with disdain, disdain, or disapproval.
"What do you mean that everyone's opinions are very important? I don't think so, right?" A shareholder said.
After all, those who voted for the country would be hated by the Bishop family.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.
"President Yuan," Finn said. "Please don't worry about it. I really just want to see everyone's real opinions. You don't have to worry about being anonymous. Just treat it as an ordinary meeting."
"The chairman," President Yuan said, "Let's make it clear in advance. Since it's a vote, the possibility of all the votes passing must be very low, no matter what meeting it is. Moreover, Miss Kate has a history, so there must be someone who opposed her returning to the company. I'll make it clear, and I'll oppose Miss Kate coming back."
"This bastard!"
Kate gritted her teeth.
"Yes, if we vote for the company later, how can you not remember to compete with the Bishop family?" Mr. Max also asked suspiciously.
"Mr. Max and Mr. Yen, you worry too much. No matter what vote you vote for, the Bishop family will respect you," Finn snid generously. "Even if you vote for the vote, you are still a shareholder of the Bishop Group: Do you think I can make anyone withdraw from the vote? It's up to you to withdraw the vote, so don't have this kind of psychological burden!"
He was the chairman of the board, so he naturally had to say such official words. After that, he looked at Kate and said, "However, from the standpoint of a father, I believe that my daughter will correct herself and enter the company of Ms. Bishop in the future."
Kate also took this opportunity to stand up and bow to everyone. "The chairman is right. I was too young and impulsive in the past, so I made a lot of mistakes. I have deeply realized my mistakes and reflect on myself. Recently, I am also studying the formula of the new cosmetics at home, ready to go back to the company at any time, so I hope you can give me..."
"Miss Kate, have you really realized your mistakes in the past?" The person who spoke was Yara. He looked at the woman coldly with narrowed eyes. "Have you reflected on yourself?"
Kate knew that this man was now Sara's boyfriend, and he was already on Chloe's side. He must have started to target her!
"Of course. She smiled. "I know that Mr. Emperor misunderstood me before..."
"It's not a misunderstanding, and it's not like it was before." Yara told her clearly. "Even now, I don't think it's suitable for you to go back to the company."
When everyone heard Yara's words, they immediately began to discuss it.
Even someone whispered, "Don't you think so, Mr. Emperor..."
"Yara!" Kate was instantly angry. After Mrs. Bishop pulled her, she forced down her anger and squeezed out a smile. "I'm the eldest daughter of the Bishop family. My father is going to retire, so the Bishop family has to have someone in the company to manage it. If I don't go back to the company, then who will come? The Bishop family's company and the Bishop family are not in the company. Do you think it's reasonable? Do you think it's reasonable?"
She tried to persuade everyone, and then she raised her voice and said, "Dear shareholders. I know that many of you have received more or less favors from Bishop family before. Let's talk about Mr. Smith. My father helped him generously when there was a financial crisis in the Smith Family. After that, the Smith Family recovered and agreed to let Mr. Smith invest in the Bishop Group. Everyone saw what my father did."
"Kate." Finn frowned and stopped her. "Don't mention it."
After all, when Kate was in prison and brought a crisis to the Bishop Group, Boss Smith and several other shareholders who supported the Bishop family also helped.
"Miss Kate is right. I am thanking President for helping me," President said with a smile. "So, don't worry. For Miss Kate's sake, I will definitely vote for your vote."
The others began to whisper in each other's ears.
Kate's mouth curved into a smile. She thought that she had refuted Yara's words, and now everyone must be considering giving her an explanation!
But for this, Yara just sneered and said to Finn's secretary, "Secretary He, lef's start voting!
"Well, all the shareholders, please start voting." Secretary He said.
Finn's face darkened
Mrs. Bishop pulled Kate's sleeve in private and whispered, "Why did you mention it? Do you know that Mr. Smith...."
"Mrs. Bishop, Miss Kate, you can vote." Secretary He reminded them again. Only then did Mrs. Bishop and Kate start to vote for their own people. After all, they couldn't lose one vote at such a critical moment.
However, Mrs. Bishop's words gave Kate a warning in her heart.
Could it be that Mr. Smith couldn't be mentioned?
But now that she was in the vote meeting, she couldn't directly ask her father, Finn, and her mother, Mrs. Bishop.
But what she didn't know was that when she mentioned that Mr. Smith had received Finn's help that year, it reminded everyone of the crisis that she had brought to Ms. Bishop in prison when she had retreated from the city.
At that time, Mr. Smith had run around and almost broken his heart for Finn's help that year... Miss Kate knew nothing about it in prison, and now she dared to talk about the kindness that Mr. Smith had received from Finn?
Mr. Smith had already returned the favor!
