Chapter 1394 The Disobedient Stakeholders 2
Nicholas glanced at his silly younger brother and returned to work. Ever since he took over
Sawyer Group, those in the shareholder's meeting had never been convinced.
Despite being unhappy, they had no choice but to suppress their feelings over the years.
On the other hand, Kieran understood Nicholas' expression and suddenly felt a sense of
being in on the joke.
Soon, it was time for the shareholder's meeting.
The large conference room was filled with people, all of whom were relatives holding
shares in the Sawyer Group.
After Edward received the signal from Nicholas, he stood up and announced, "Sawyer
Group's year-end shareholder's meeting officially begins. I will now present this year's
overall performance data."
After speaking, he clicked on the mouse and projected the neatly arranged data onto the
big screen in the conference room.
Overall, Sawyer Group had an excellent business year as their profits had increased by ten

However, some people had malicious intentions and deliberately nitpicked the matter.
"I think there is still a lot of room for profit growth."
"Indeed, compared to the growth ratio of the previous years, the profits of these two years
have decreased."
"Nicholas, we understand that you just got married and became a father recently, which is
all very new and exciting. However, we entrusted the company to you with confidence.
During the past two years, how many business opportunities have you missed due to your
accompanying your wife abroad?"
The shareholders gradually turned their attention to Nicholas.
Seeing this, his expression turned cold and he retorted, "I don't know how much business I
missed out on, but what I do know is that our company has gained significantly more profit
from projects in foreign countries compared to previous years. Why don't you talk about
that?"
As soon as this was said, several shareholders who had previously been harsh
immediately shut up. The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
Nicholas surveyed the room with a cold look and added, "I know that you all have
objections to my recent trip to Janqash, but I didn't just go there to accompany my wife.
Instead, I secured a major project there." In other words, he did not neglect his duties.
At this, even the shareholders who had not been convinced before were now speechless.
Kieran was truly impressed with Nicholas. The slap in their faces was truly satisfying,
especially for those stakeholders who took advantage of their seniority as they couldn't
even utter a word now.
At this sight, Nicholas changed the topic. "The end of the year is approaching. I urge
everyone to submit their account books earlier. The headquarters needs to review the
performance of each subsidiary." Naturally, everyone agreed.
After addressing some other issues, he announced the end of the meeting before Kieran
followed him back to the office.
Once inside, Kieran lounged on the couch and exclaimed, "Nicholas, you're amazing!
Those old guys who always boss me around were all obedient in front of you."

Kieran realized that Nicholas didn't even care about those people. However...
"Nicholas, have you noticed that the shareholders have been more aggressive lately? With
the end of the year approaching, I think they are just testing our reaction on behalf of
some people."
The "some people" he referred to were Remus' brothers as Remus had two younger
brothers. Remus was the eldest and the other two were the second old master and the
third old master of the family.
These two old masters had been living abroad for many years and managing the business
abroad while assisting the headquarters in expanding into foreign markets. However, in
recent years, as their power grew, their ambition grew as well.
The two old masters had been disregarding the headquarters increasingly.
As a result, every year-end was an invisible battlefield.
When Kieran finished speaking, he looked worried. "I observed the shareholders closely
just now. Besides those who always make a fuss every year, it seems that a few others are
wavering."
"It doesn't matter. There's nothing they can do."
