Chapter 47 Let's Curse If We Want
John was eager to take over the chairman position long ago, so when Lakeview Express ran into trouble, he couldn't wait to make things difficult for Skyview!
This board meeting was convened at John's initiative!
At this moment, Hekka was in a passive situation.
"Gentlemen of the board!" John cleared his throat and addressed the crowd. "I have a few words to say!"
"Mr. Davis is a pillar of our Twin Group. Let's listen to him carefully!"
"Mr. Davis, I support you!"
"Mr. Davis, please speak!"
As soon as John spoke, a wave of support for John swept through the boardroom.
With his seniority, outstanding abilities, and considerable influence, John was highly respected by board members of the Twin Group.
Moreover, John's shares in the Twin Group were second only to Dylan's.
While Dylan was alive, John was essentially the second-in-command of the Twin Group.
Now that Dylan had passed away, John had become the de facto leader of the Twin Group, but with Skyview's sudden emergence and the assistance of the formidable Hekka, John couldn't secure the top position.
However, the board members still showed great respect for John.
The boardroom fell silent for a moment.
Seeing everyone's serious expression, John was pleased. This indicated that his reputation was significant.
"Gentlemen, we cannot deny that the Twin Group was founded by Dylan. We are all amazed by Dylan's ability, right? Over the years, under his leadership, our company's value has greatly increased, and we owe it all to him. I am a person who repays kindness, and I will never forget the favor Dylan has shown me!" John first paid respect to Dylan, eliciting murmurs of agreement from the crowd.
Hekka was secretly alarmed. John's rhetoric was powerful and eloquent.
After reminiscing about Dylan, John changed his tone and said, "Although Dylan has made significant contributions to our Twin Group, the Twin Group is not solely built by Dylan himself. It belongs to all of us. We all devoted our lives to it, don't you agree?"
Naturally, everyone loved hearing such words, and the board members quickly gave responses.
"Yes, the Twin Group belongs to all of us!"
"Mr. Davis, I couldn't agree with you more!"
Hekka's expression turned grim. She had figured out John's intention.
"Skyview is Dylan's grandson, but he comes from a humble background, having worked as a courier for a long time. Appointing Skyview as chairman could potentially ruin the Twin Group. I raised my doubts at the time, but out of gratitude for Dylan's favor, I gave Skyview a chance!" John said indignantly. "Skyview went to manage Lakeview Express, and what happened? Lakeview Express' reputation has been tarnished! Lakeview Express is a crucial part of our Twin Group's business chain. If its reputation decreased, it would be a huge loss for our Twin Group!
"And what's even more frightening is that if Skyview remains as chairman, the reputation of Twin Group would be tarnished as well!! This incident has already revealed Skyview's poor business capabilities. We cannot afford to give such a person a second chance!"
Now, John's criticism was directly aimed at Skyview.
Many people were already convinced by John's words.
Hekka coldly asked, "Mr. Davis, what's your suggestion?"
John replied, " Skyview should resign from the position of chairman. He lacks the ability, and he can't even manage a small courier company properly. What qualifications does he have to run our Twin Group? "
"Yes, yes, why should an incompetent person be chairman!"
"For the future of the company, Skyview must be removed!" someone chimed in.
"Remove Skyview from his position!"
John's rallying cry immediately garnered support from a group of directors.
Hekka was very worried.
Just then, the office door was kicked open.
Skyview had arrived!
He swaggered in, followed by the bodyguard Suzanne, looking extremely arrogant.
All eyes were on him.
"I heard someone were planning to remove me?" Skyview said coldly. "Which idiot wants to remove me? Is it you? Or you? Or maybe you?"
He scanned the crowd.
Frowning, everyone felt that Skyview was extremely rude.
"It's me!" John was straightforward and admitted. "It's me who wants to remove you!"
Skyview looked at John and laughed, "So it's you. You old bastard!"
Being called an old bastard by a junior like Skyview made John furrowed, and he was furious, "How dare you insult me?"
"I just dare!" Skyview said. "Not only do I dare insult you, but I also dare to beat you! Who do you think you are?"
John had never encountered someone with such low manners as Skyview, and he was infuriated!
"You shameless! Where are your manners?" John retorted.
Skyview laughed, "John, you accuse me of shameless, but you covet my position as chairman, thinking about removing me every day. Did your behavior make you proud? Do you really want to remove me that bad? Are you out of your mind?"
He completely exposed John's hidden thoughts, leaving him embarrassed and angry. "Even if I become chairman, I would be a better chairman than you. You can't even manage a small company like Lakeview Express properly. What qualifications do you have to manage the vast Twin Group?"
John decided not to engage in a futile argument with Skyview. He directly pointed to Skyview's weak point.
"Are you an idiot?" Skyview looked at John with a condescending gaze. "Are you a fool?"
"If you call me a fool again, I'll make you regret it!" John slammed the table in anger.
"Unfortunately, it's not that I want to call you a fool, but you are just too foolish! Let me ask you a few questions, will you dare to answer me?" Skyview challenged John fiercely.
"Ask if you want!" John glared at Skyview.
