"I hope that as the Aden Chamber of Commerce grows stronger, it will become warmer and assume more responsibilities. This is the reason why I want to continue to serve as a director of the Chamber of Commerce." Gloria bowed slightly and ended her speech. speech.
The three-minute speech was not long, but it made the guests present gradually put away their smiles and fell into thinking.
"Huh, temperature? Responsibility? Businessmen are born to pursue profits. If they have these two things, they will not be called businessmen." Cyril looked at Gloria with a sneer. Such immature thoughts are all. Only a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world would take it seriously and say it on such an occasion.
"This girl is still like her father at heart." Jeffrey looked at Gloria with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes.
Mag looked at Gloria thoughtfully. The vision and plan she showed had gone beyond the scope of just wanting to prove herself in front of Jeffrey. She had moving plans and long-term goals. .
"This Miss Gloria has a sense of responsibility that is rare among businessmen. If she can become the successor of the Morton family, or even the president of the Aden Chamber of Commerce, she may bring more things to the City of Chaos. ." In the VIP table, Michael looked at Gloria with admiration.
"Does the city lord mean to help Miss Gloria stay in the council?" the accompanying official whispered.
"Just give us a little help from the City Lord's Mansion. Whether she can stay depends on her ability." Michael nodded slightly.
"Yes." The official left quickly.
Soon, a waiter walked between the directors' tables and passed a few small notes quietly.
"It's interesting." Hill also stared at Gloria. Such an opponent should become more interesting in a few years.
As for Cyril, she had never considered him a rival.
"But why does the way she speaks become more and more like a certain person?" Hill's eyes swept across the crowd and landed on Mag sitting in the corner, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Yes, that's him.
Maynard came to the stage again, looked at the directors in the audience and said loudly: "Miss Gloria's self-report has ended. Next, all directors have three minutes to think and choose. Write down on paper whether you agree with Gloria or not." Miss Liya will continue to serve as a director of the Chamber of Commerce. In three minutes, the staff will collect all the votes filled out by the directors and verify them on the spot to get the final result."
The directors looked at each other, picked up paper and pen one after another, and wrote down their choices on the paper.
This vote may seem sudden, but in fact most of the directors had already made their choice before coming to the venue.
It's not just a vote, it's about teams.
Although the Dodge family and the Marquis family have been inferior to the Moulton family and the Buffett family in recent years, the heritage of the big families has not been lost. The number of seats on the board of directors has been decreasing year by year, but they still have considerable influence.
As for the Moulton family, Cyril visited almost all the directors of the family, giving him both kindness and power, and his influence was not small.
As for the Buffett family, no one can guess what choice Hill will make, but no one thinks she will favor Gloria.
"Will sister Gloria win?" Amy didn't know when she returned to Mag's side, nestled in Mag's arms, and said a little nervously.
"Maybe, her speech was so moving." Mag smiled and nodded. A kind heart is the most beautiful and moving.
"Huh, that's my girl." Camilla snorted in a warning tone and muttered to herself.
Everyone else in the restaurant also returned to Mag's side. After all, it was Miss Gloria who invited them to the banquet. They were like a group of relatives and friends, and of course they were on her side with the same hatred.
"Do you think Gloria can continue to serve as a director?" Debra clenched her fists nervously and said to Lance.
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal even if she can't continue to be a director. She is a kind child and can succeed no matter what she does." Lance put his hand gently on her shoulder and said with a smile, looking at Gloria's eyes were filled with relief.
"Sister is the best, and I believe in her." Mickey clenched his fists and said seriously.
Three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. At Maynard's signal, the staff began to collect the voting sheets written by the directors.
Although Gloria's expression was calm, her hands had been clenched into fists involuntarily, and her eyes were nervously staring at the ballot box that was carried to the high platform by the staff.
"It's time for the unveiling, and it's time for you to return to where you should be." Cyril sneered beside Gloria, seeming to be sure of his victory.
Gloria did not answer and remained silent.
When visiting the directors, she received many rejections and excuses, and almost no one agreed to stand by her on the spot.
Compared with Cyril, who has been working in the Chamber of Commerce for more than 20 years, it is really difficult for her to gain trust.
He couldn't confirm the outcome tonight. He could only hope that some directors would change her mind and stand on her side because of her previous brief speech.
"Now, please witness all the guests present. I will read the tickets on the spot." Maynard came to the ballot box, reached into the ballot box, took out a ticket, opened it, and then said loudly: "The first one, no Agreed."
A staff member drew a horizontal line on the blackboard nearby.
"The second one, I don't agree with it."
"The third one, I don't agree with it."
"The fourth one, abstain."
"The fifth one, I agree."
"The sixth one, I don't agree with it."
…
Maynard read the votes in a steady voice. There was a clear gap between the two sections of approval and disapproval on the blackboard.
The scene was quiet, and everyone was staring at the blackboard with added strokes, with different expressions.
"Haha, you're a little too young to fight with me." Cyril's smile became more and more proud. According to this trend, he will win this bet with an absolute advantage.
"Oh, you dare to humiliate me on such an occasion. Let's see how long you can continue to be arrogant. When the Moulton family falls..." Harvey looked at Gloria with a cold look, but it turned out to be exactly what they planned. As we walked, how could a little girl be the rival of their two big families?
When the number of disapproval votes reached twenty-three, there were only five yes votes. It was like a crushing advantage, which made people feel a little depressed.
The guests looked at Gloria with some regret. Such a beautiful and kind girl could not continue to serve as a director, but was impeached by Cyril.
"Picture twenty-nine, I agree."
"The 30th one, I agree."
…
"The fortieth picture, I agree!"
Twelve consecutive votes of approval made Maynard's voice raise a few points involuntarily.
The eyes of the guests present also lit up again, as if it wasn't over yet?
"This... this is impossible!" Cyril, who thought he had a chance to win and was already so proud that he wanted to find someone to celebrate with his eyes widened, suddenly became nervous.
