Chapter 113 To Become President?
Before Sarah could respond, Karen excitedly slammed the table and exclaimed, "My son is truly outstanding! Always striving for the best! You're so much better than those useless people. Of course, your sister will arrange a job for you!"
Aaron's face brightened. "Really?"
Karen replied proudly, "Of course! Your sister is now a CEO with a market value of billions of dollars. She has hundreds of employees under her. She can easily arrange a simple job for you!"
As he spoke, Karen gave Sarah a look.
Sarah put down her fork and asked, "So what position do you want?"
Aaron leaned back and answered without hesitation. "Being an ordinary employee and doing the same job every day is boring. It doesn't sound good either. How about making me the Vice President of the company? I can assist you with your work, and it will sound impressive!"
Hearing this, Ryder, who was sitting across the table, choked on his food and started coughing!
He thought to himself, "Even after working at the company for twenty years, Klay wasn't promoted to Vice President, and you just ask for it! I bet you don't even know the basic business logic of the Houston construction materials market!"
That's really something!
Karen frowned at Ryder and said sarcastically, "How come it didn't choke you to death?"
Then she spoiled Aaron, saying, "You're so outstanding. You can definitely handle the position of Vice President. You can outperform all those so-called young entrepreneurs in Houston!"
Matthew also chimed in, "After all, he's my son. He's been clever since he was a child. He must achieve great success in the future!"
Aaron nodded confidently. "Those business owners are not using their brains anymore. Once I become the Vice President, I will show them what a true business genius is! Then those Houston billionaires and Texas business association presidents will be nothing more than insignificant ants in my eyes!"
Sarah's parents applauded in agreement.
He truly lived up to their expectations!
At this moment, Sarah had some concerns. "Mom, isn't this a bit hasty? Aaron is still young. Taking on such an important position from the start, would it be..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Karen interrupted her. "Aaron is only three years younger than you. You have already become the CEO of a big company. It's normal for him to be Vice President. Besides, Aaron has always been cleverer and sharper than you. Let alone Vice President, he can even become the CEO without any problem!"
Sarah hesitated. Although she doted on her brother, she had a clear judgment of his abilities. He was simply not suitable to be the Vice President! Moreover, she had just taken over the company not long ago and was facing internal and external troubles. If she arranged for her brother to be Vice President, it would definitely make her a target of criticism!
Seeing Sarah's hesitation, Karen's expression immediately turned sour. "What? Now that you have the ability, you don't care about your own brother's life anymore, right?"
"Where did that come from?" Sarah defended herself. "It's just a job. Why are we talking about life and death? I'm actually considering Aaron's best interest. After all, no matter what profession you're in, you have to start from the bottom. Even I started as a low-level employee when I took over my dad's subsidiary company. I believe that with Aaron's abilities, he will quickly climb up from being an ordinary employee to the management level. Otherwise, having so much power from the beginning would easily lead to disadvantages!"
Karen was taken aback by Sarah's words. She turned to Aaron and said, "Aaron, why don't we start as ordinary employees for now?"
Aaron was visibly annoyed. He retorted, "I don't care. I am clearly born to be in management. Why should I start as an ordinary employee? It would be no different from those mediocre folks in our class."
Saying that, he angrily slammed the bowl on the table and crossed his arms. It was as if someone owed him something.
Seeing this, Ryder couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Aaron had been overly indulged since childhood, and his immaturity showed whenever he encountered something he didn't like. He always resorted to such childish ways to vent his frustrations!
Karen, unfortunately, fell for it!
She became furious and yelled at Sarah. "Look! Because of your selfishness, Aaron can't even eat his meal anymore! I don't care. You must arrange the position of vice president for Aaron!"
"Mom! Top-level positions in this company are not child's play, especially since I just took over this company. Please understand the difficulties I am facing!" Sarah pleaded.
Karen glared at her and said firmly, "Stop twisting the truth! I can see it clearly now. You have been influenced by that useless Ryder. You're neglecting even your own brother. Is this how a sister should act?"
Sarah felt extremely wronged. She couldn't find the right words to defend herself!
What does this have to do with Ryder?
It's clearly you who's being unreasonable!
Karen continued relentlessly, "Today, I'll leave it at that! Although you have become the president of a big company, you came into this world through me, so you must listen to me! Even if you have to give the entire company to Aaron, you better do it obediently. Got it?"
This barrage of hurtful words made Sarah sit in her chair for a long time. She was unable to regain her composure. Although she had always known that her mother favored Aaron, there should have been some limits.
But Karen's words just now were incredibly hurtful!
Even Ernest couldn't bear it. He advised Karen, "Isn't that a bit too much?"
Karen scolded him impatiently, "Stay out of it!"
Ernest obediently shut his mouth.
"Do you hear what I'm saying?" Karen continued shouting at Sarah.
Finally, Sarah, known for her stubborn nature, couldn't control her temper anymore and retorted directly, "Legally, you have no right to make decisions for my company. So, for the employees and for the sake of the company, I will not take that risk!"
"You dare to defy me?" Karen's mouth twisted in anger.
She raised her hand to slap Sarah.
But Sarah, holding her ground, didn't flinch!
However, tears were already streaming down the corners of her eyes!
Just as Karen's palm was about to land on Sarah's face, Ryder suddenly intervened.
He grabbed Karen's wrist!
"What are you doing? Let go!" Karen scolded, looking disgusted.
Ryder ignored her and turned to Sarah, speaking gently, "I think it'll be easy to arrange a management position for your brother. Vice President might be challenging, but I think it won't be a problem to assign him as a General Manager. With his talent, he can definitely handle it. What do you think?"
As he spoke, he winked at her and exchanged a look.
