Chapter 148 Grudge
Julianna thought, needless to say, this is definitely done by Edwin.
If he wants me to die, he has too many despicable methods.
“How much do we have left?”
“The stock is only enough for this quarter. There won’t be any supply for the next quarter. We must find a
new supply.”
“Alright, I got it.”
After Julianna finished speaking, she silently hung up the phone.
Glenn said with concern, “Julie, what happened?”
Julianna sighed, “Fairchild Group stops the supply of goods for the Reece Group.”
“What should we do?”
“Right now, we can only search for new supplies as soon as possible.”
Julianna paused for a few seconds and sighed, “If it doesn’t work, I’ll call the president of CI Technology
Entertainment to seek cooperation.”
When Glenn heard this, he frowned. “It’s not a good partner, and David is not a good man.”
Glenn had also heard about David being beaten by Edwin, so he could roughly guess the cause and
effect.
“Let’s try it first. If it doesn’t work, we can just produce research and development ourselves.”
“Well. It’s just that the cost is too high. If we fail, I might go bankrupt.”
Glenn smiled gently and patted her shoulder. “It’s okay. Even if you go bankrupt, you still have me.
“I can help you raise the funds.”
Although Glenn said that he could not provide too many connections in business, the Hodson family
was also one of the top conglomerates in Florida.
He had a large amount of working capital at his disposal.
The next day arrived.
Today was already the fourth day Julianna had been in South Carolina.
During the four days, she was not in Philadelphia, the Reece Group had changed drastically.
It was early in the morning.
The phone vibrated.
“Hello, Luna,” Julianna answered the phone..
“Ms. Reece, please go back to Philadelphia quickly.” Luna’s anxious voice came from the other end of
the line.
“What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Hunt and Mr. Welch are throwing a tantrum. They want to fire all the R&D personnel you brought
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith you from Canada.”
Hearing that, Julianna was shocked, “Why?”
When Julianna joined the Reece Group, she brought a group of staff, especially a few R&D engineers,
which she spent a lot of time hiring successfully.
“Mr. Hunt and Mr. Welch said that their salaries are too high. The company can’t afford it.”
“Mr. Hunt and Mr. Welch said that they have been here for five months and have not made any profit for
the company.”
“Alright, I got it.”
“I will go to Philadelphia this afternoon. Inform the board of directors and the management to have a
meeting tomorrow
morning.”
“Okay.”
Julianna had just hung up when the finance director called again.
“Ms. Reece, the capital on the account of South Carolina’s factory is broken.
“The new equipment will cost more than 1.5 million dollars. They are ready to send the goods. We need
to quickly transfer the money to their account…”
“I got it.”
After Julianna hung up the phone, she felt this was a difficult matter to handle. She felt like she was
surrounded by enemies.
It was the next day.
Julianna rushed back to Philadelphia.
IT was eight o’clock in the morning.
Julianna rushed to the company.
At 8:20, Quinton, Leroy, and the others entered the meeting room one after another.
“Mr. Hunt, Mr. Welch, I heard that you are going to fire a few R&D engineers?” Julianna’s expression
sank.
“That’s right. These people are frauds and must be fired.”
Julianna was so angry that her heart ached. She looked at them gloomily. “I brought them back from
Canada. We can’t let them
leave…”
“Ah, that’s easy for you to say. They take the company’s money and don’t do anything.”
“They are always dawdling. Their salary is equivalent to three or four staff.”
Quinton also said bluntly, “You are messing around. If this goes on, our company will have too many
extra expenses.”
“That’s right. That high salary is enough to hire three to four people with the same ability.”
“These people cannot stay in the company.
Julianna took a breath and tried to convince them. “They can’t leave. What R&D personnel creates is not
short–term benefits,
but long–term profits…”
Leroy sneered disdainfully, “What development can there be? What benefits can they create for the
company?
“Or are these people your trusted aides? Do you deliberately take the company’s money to subsidize
them?”
“They are all top R&D technicians in Canada. It will even take a year or two to develop a project.
Moreover, it will take ten years
and half a year…
“Oh, you mean that we have to invite a person to train him for eight to ten years before it is possible to
create benefits for the company, right?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“Then what do you mean?”
Quinton and Leroy, under the instruction of Edwin, deliberately opposed Julianna.
All in all, their goal was to drive Julianna out of the board of directors.
Seeing that she couldn’t convince them, Julianna was unwilling to argue with them. “OK, let’s not argue.”
“Since you do not want them to stay in the Reece Group, I will let them work in the factory in South
Carolina.”
“Is that okay?”
Quinton shrugged. “Oh, in that case, we have no objections. After all, the factory in South Carolina is
yours and has nothing to do with us. It is your freedom to give them a high salary.”
“Alright. Today’s meeting ends here.”
“Wait! The Fairchild Group has cut off the Reece Group’s supply. How do we resolve this?”
“That’s right. There won’t be any more goods to sell next quarter. Where can we find such a large
supplier at such a critical juncture?”
“I will think of a way.” Julianna exhaled.
“What can you do?”
Julianna choked in anger. “Then let’s all think of a way together. You are also the director of the
company. Now the company is
in trouble, we should share the responsibility.”
“Ah, you are now the executive director of the company, the leader of the company, and the largest
shareholder of the company. If something happens to the company, it will naturally be you to take care of
it.”
Julianna was so angry that she was speechless.
She thought, they share my wealth, but are unwilling to overcome difficulties with me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSome time ago, when the Reece Group went well, they treated me so well.
Now, the company has just encountered difficulties. They have done nothing but accuse me.
I do not want to cooperate with such a person.
It was just a pity that Julianna did not have that much liquidity right now and was unable to acquire the
shares in their hands.
Under the instructions of Edwin, they made things difficult for her.
At this point, the meeting was halfway through.
“Ms. Reece, Mr. Keaton is here,” said Coco as she knocked on the door and entered the room.
As she spoke, Edwin had already appeared at the door of the conference room.
Edwin was dressed in a decent suit, looking energetic and noble.
“Mr. Keaton, you are here.” Quinton and Leroy were arrogant just now.
However, when they saw Edwin, they immediately became very humble.
They bowed and stood up to greet Edwin.
Edwin walked into the conference room. His eagle eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Julianna.
“Ms. Reece, you are a busy person. It is difficult to meet you.”
As he spoke, Edwin had already walked over to Julianna.
He leaned over and looked at her with an ambiguous expression.
“Mr. Keaton, this is a board meeting. Please be more serious,”
“Where am I not serious?” Edwin’s handsome face revealed a trace of evil and a gloomy expression.
“Please sit down.” Julianna’s heart sank subconsciously.
Edwin lifted his eyelids and said to everyone, “All of you go out first.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Wait a moment! The meeting is not over yet. No one is allowed to leave.” Julianna hurriedly stopped
them.
“I said the meeting was over. Everyone, go out.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Quinton, Leroy, and all the higher–ups did not dare to listen to Julianna’s orders and hurriedly got up to
leave..
“Edwin, are you satisfied now?”
“I’m still not very satisfied. I will only be satisfied when you are completely lying on the ground like mud
and being ruthlessly
trampled on.”
“Edwin, what grudge do I have against you? Why are you targeting me like this?”
“Nothing.”
When Julianna heard this, her eyes turned red with anger. “Then why are you like this?”
“I like it. My happiness is the most important thing in the world.”
“You…” Julianna gnashed her teeth in anger.
At this moment, if she could turn into a beast, she would bite off his neck.
Julianna thought, this is a nasty bastard! I am so angry!
