Chapter 152
Everyone looked over in unison, seeing Nicole striding forward with her head held high, step by step, in her high heels.
I was stunned.
Damn! No wonder she dared to say those in the elevator. It turned out she got promoted.
It was damned unfair.
First, Nicole was suddenly promoted to supervisor. Then, half a year later, she became a deputy director. Her promotion was faster even than a rocket, okay?
She leaped into middle management.
Why Nicole?
Was it because of her average skills, being slightly good-looking with a good figure and a bit of influence?
Well, this was just beyond the reach of ordinary people actually.
Nicole stood next to Jenny, smiling.
Jenny said, "After discussions with the superiors, the marketing department will expand again. To lead everyone better, the current supervisor of Group Five, Nicole Cooper, will become the deputy director, and Philip will be the new supervisor of Group Five."
Damn!
When did Philip move to Group Five and become a new supervisor?
There must be more hidden information in this.
"Encourage them, everyone!"
Applause thundered.
Jenny smiled. I, familiar with her, realized that she was not happy at this moment.
I had known her for so long, and there was never a time when her early morning meetings were so cheerful. There was only one reason. She was using a smile to conceal her inner anger.
The addition of a deputy director meant she was being stripped of power.
Even Lily felt suppressed.
Philip was originally the top seller in our group. Now, he had gone to Group Five. I could tell from Lily's surprised expression that she definitely didn't know beforehand.
I pondered in my mind, 'there must be deeper layers of information hidden behind this.'
Linda and Katherine were openly fighting, which was something everyone knew. Could it be that Katherine promoted Nicole?
The more I thought about it, the more it made sense because this meant dividing Jenny's power and indirectly dividing Linda's power.
Thinking of Katherine's plan to establish a business expansion department, I thought this was likely a setup!
Nicole was probably here to cause chaos to disrupt the marketing department, and then Katherine conveniently proposed the idea of establishing a new department, which was perfect.
The more I considered it, the clearer my thoughts became.
Katherine had some extraordinary methods.
And Jenny was troubled this time.
"Now, let's welcome Ms. Cooper to speak."
Nicole took the microphone, stood on the stage, and smiled, "Hello, everyone, I am Nicole, the newly appointed deputy director of the marketing department. I believe most of you here know me, but in the future, I want everyone to know me."
"Good, well said!"
Philip and Brandon clapped enthusiastically, their actions resembling a comedy duo.
Nicole gestured to silence. "The marketing department is about to embark on a new journey. In the future, I will strictly monitor everyone's performance with Mrs. Smith. Besides performance, I will also focus on the company's culture and individual issues!"
At this point, her gaze swept toward me!
I sighed. I knew it. She was definitely going to target me.
"If someone has moral issues, even if their performance is outstanding, I will not keep them!"
Nicole glanced at everyone. "I have received many complaints here. There is an employee with a bad moral character, poisoning the company's culture. With such low character, do you want to know who this person is?"
"Yes!"
"Director Cooper, please tell us. We're dying to know!"
Philip and Brandon echoed each other, like a joker.
"No rush. I have a few photos here."
With that, she logged into Facebook on the computer, projecting the images onto the white wall behind, visible to everyone.
They were photos of me looking at Grace.
"I never jump to conclusions. But what one hears may be false while what one sees is true. These photos are definitely real. Who is the protagonist in this photo?"
"John!"
"It's John!"
Philip and Brandon's faces lit up with triumphant smiles, their voices the loudest. I really wanted to tell them, "What's so great about calling me?"
"That's right. This person is John, the deputy to Lily, the supervisor of Group Four!"
Once again, all eyes fell on me.
I looked at her expressionlessly, thinking about how to handle this situation!
"John, do you know how much turmoil this photo has caused in the company and how much harm it has done to female colleagues? To someone with such a bad character like you, you don't deserve to stay at Skyliho!"
Jenny frowned, seeming like she wanted to speak, but ultimately remained silent.
Lily turned to look at me, her eyes filled with concern.
"Ms. Cooper, these photos are just playful banter between colleagues. Why do you take them so seriously? Moreover, even if there is a punishment, it should be for those who maliciously spread the photos in the company group chat."
I looked at Philip. "Spreading rumors doesn't need cost. Just by mouthing, you can put someone in a difficult position. If that's the case, may I assume that Philip was secretly taking upskirt photos of girls?"
"John, you're talking nonsense!"
Philip quickly interjected, "I was just trying to expose your true colors, to let everyone see your disgust."
"John, stop twisting the truth here!"
Nicole snorted, "Speaking of which, you snatched that six-million-dollar deal from Philip. For a person with such low character like you, I will definitely not keep you."
"Yes, fire this scum."
"Ms. Cooper is right. Dismiss this perverted scum."
The crowd began to shout!
Lily became anxious. "Ms. Cooper, the ownership of the Walker Company deal has long been decided, and later, John proved his innocence with his own strength. Everyone knows this. John made a bet with Brandon! Have you all forgotten it?"
Jenny also spoke up, "Ms. Cooper, the deal has been settled long ago. This matter should be put to rest. There's no need to bring up old issues."
Nicole furrowed her brows. "Alright. Since you say so, I won't dwell on it. Right and wrong will be judged by our colleagues. Everyone knows what happened here!
"But the matter of him peeping at girls in the restroom is confirmed, right? Moreover, Zack Johnson, the head of the sanitation department, reported to me that during restroom cleaning, John peeked into the women's restroom. How should we settle this issue? Manager Johnson has no scores with him. Could he be framing John?"
Damn!
Zack was such a bastard!
It was he who forced me to clean the women's restroom, not letting me leave until it was done! Damn it!
But others didn't know.
The discussion erupted instantly, everyone whispering to each other!
"Oh, no! This pervert actually peeked into the women's restroom!"
"Oh my god! Does that mean he's seen everything about us?"
"So disgusting."
I was furious. Nicole was simply malicious to the extreme.
I slammed my fist on the desk in anger, and the force of my blow actually punched through the grid. "Stop talking nonsense here. If you have the guts, bring Zack here to confront me face to face, to see if he ordered me or if I did it on my own.
"Nicole, are you just seeking revenge? Fine, I'll fight you to the end!"
