"Cyril wants to dismiss Gloria? Has the Family Moreton's power struggle become public? "
"This year's end-of-year celebration seems to be quite interesting."
"It sounds like it's in line with the rules, but is Cyril planning to challenge Geoffrey's authority?"
The guests discussed in low voices. The annual end-of-year celebration was quite boring for most people, but this year seemed to be a little different.
"Is the show about to begin?" Meg calmly crossed his legs and held a small plate of fruit, ready to watch the show.
He was quite confident in Gloria. The girl's expression was also very calm, so she most likely had some confidence.
As for Cyril, Meg felt that if Geoffrey's brain wasn't damaged, he should learn from the old man of the Buffett Family. No matter how bad it was, he shouldn't hand over power to Cyril.
That wastrel could squander this huge family business in minutes. The most frightening thing was that he didn't have the slightest bit of self-awareness. He thought that he had everything under control with a little bit of cleverness.
Everyone looked at Geoffrey. As a director of the Chamber of Commerce, Cyril proposed a board meeting to vote on Gloria's departure. It was within the rules, but Geoffrey was the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, Cyril's father, and Gloria's grandfather. Would he agree to this board meeting that represented the family's internal strife?
At this moment, Gloria, who was sitting in another direction, stood up and walked to the edge of the stage. She first bowed to Geoffrey, and then said, "Chairman, if Director Cyril and some of the other directors think so, I agree to vote according to the rules of the board meeting. The result of the vote will determine whether I can continue to be a director of the Chamber of Commerce or not."
Everyone's eyes lit up when the main character stepped onto the stage.
The guests who were waiting for Geoffrey to speak didn't expect Gloria to take the initiative to step onto the stage and agree to Cyril's suggestion. This made everyone think more highly of Gloria.
She was a young girl of 17 or 18 years old. Although she was very beautiful, as Cyril said, she was too inexperienced. It had only been a few months since she officially appeared in the public eye and became a director of the Aden Chamber of Commerce.
Many businessmen who started from scratch wanted to become a director of the Chamber of Commerce, but they had to meet all kinds of requirements before they could do so.
However, this wasn't absolute.
After all, Miss Hill, who was sitting next to him, was only 19 years old this year. She was already the owner of the largest financial group on the Norland Continent, and announced that she would run for the position of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.
The Buffett Family and Family Moreton were regarded as the twin stars of Chaos City's business world during Geoffrey and Ian's generation. Now that the two legends were old, Ian was no longer in charge of the bank's affairs. He was passionate about fishing, and Geoffrey was still troubled by the matter of his successor.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was already difficult for Cyril to hold on to Family Moreton's foundation, let alone bring the family to another level like Miss Hill did.
Gloria's appearance gave everyone a sense of anticipation.
Perhaps Family Moreton could have a female successor of the granddaughter generation?
The beautiful and generous Gloria won the recognition of the guests with her outstanding appearance and polite and generous manners. Although her aura wasn't as strong as Miss Hill's, she wasn't inferior to her overall. It was a different kind of feeling.
As for Cyril, with his gaudy red and green outfit and the smug smile on his face, he looked like a villain standing on the stage with Gloria. It was a little repulsive.
"Big Sister Gloria is so beautiful." Amy held Anna's hand as she looked at Gloria.
"Yes, she is." Anna nodded in agreement.
"This uncle is too much. He actually wants to dismiss Miss Gloria," Yabemiya said angrily.
"All the uncles in this world are the same. None of them are good," Elizabeth said coldly.
Geoffrey glanced at Gloria, and a hint of relief flashed across his eyes. He nodded, and said, "Since that's the case, in order to maintain the fairness of the board, we will vote according to the rules of the board to decide if Gloria will continue to be a member of the board."
"Very good." Cyril had a sly smile on his face. He had absolute confidence in this vote. With the help of the Dodges family and the Marquis family, they had almost half of the votes. He didn't think that Gloria would be able to pull away the rest of the votes.
"You will be in charge of hosting," Geoffrey said to Menard, and then he turned around and left the stage.
Menard walked to the front of the stage and looked at the board members sitting around the stage. He said, "Dear board members, according to the rules of the board, the voting will be done anonymously. Before the voting begins, board member Gloria will have three minutes to give a speech. After the speech, the voting will begin. Now, there will be staff members who will hand out the tickets and pens to everyone. "
Soon, a few staff members came in with paper and pens and distributed them to the board members.
Menard then looked at Gloria and said, "Miss Gloria, you have two minutes to prepare. Please tell us what you have done for the association after becoming a board member, why you want to be a board member, and what you plan to do for the association in the future."
"Okay." Gloria nodded slightly, and quietly waited for the time to come. Her eyes couldn't help but look past the crowd and towards the corner.
"Look! Gloria is looking at me! As expected, when she's nervous, the first person she thinks of is still me! "Camilla said ecstatically.
Mag gave Gloria a warm smile. After Gloria retracted her gaze, he glanced at Camilla from the corner of his eyes. This maiden was so easily flattered.
Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye. All of the board members had already received their pens and papers, and everyone's eyes fell on Gloria.
Gloria withdrew her gaze from Meg's warm smile, and felt as if her heart was filled with courage and strength. She bowed slightly to all of the board members and guests present, and then said, "Esteemed board members and members of the Chamber of Commerce, I am Gloria Moreton. I am very honored to be a substitute board member of the Aden Chamber of Commerce a month ago. As the former board member was arrested for breaking the law, the substitute board member's qualifications were revoked. According to the rules, as long as the substitute board member is approved by the president, there is no need for the board to vote, so there is no violation of the rules.
During my time as a board member of the Chamber of Commerce, I have felt a lot of responsibility and pressure.
The Aden Chamber of Commerce gathers the best businessmen and companies in Chaos City, but it is not only a platform to promote cooperation between businessmen, but also a series of social responsibilities.
We have a huge amount of wealth in our hands, so we naturally have to bear the corresponding social responsibilities, and the Chamber of Commerce plays a role in guiding and promoting all of this.
During the mid-year meeting, Miss Luna from Chaos School launched a fund to provide education and living assistance for the children who can't go to school, and it received the approval of many people in the Chamber of Commerce.
Suede donated a portion of the funds for the construction of the children's school buildings, and also prepared winter clothes for the children. When I saw the pure smiles on the children's faces after putting on the new clothes, I was very touched. To us, this is just a basic living condition, but to them, it is a luxury.
The reason I want to become a board member of the Chamber of Commerce is that I want to guide more businessmen to help the children and the poor, so that the residents who are struggling to survive can have a basic living condition … "
