Chapter 656 Who Was Polite to Me?
Lisa’listened, her eyes showing a complex expression.
At that moment, Lucas knocked on the door and entered. Lisa ended the call and heard Lucas report, “Miss Isabella’s car has entered the garage, Boss Logan. Some of the heads of the subsidiary companies have objections to Miss Isabella never attending the meetings. Should I say a few words in advance?”
“No need,” Lisa said in a calm voice. “I will explain.”
“Then I’ll go pick up Miss Isabella.”
It would be better to have someone accompany Isabella on her first visit to the company.
“I’ll go pick her up.”
Lisa got up and left the office directly.
Lucas didn’t expect Boss Logan to handle even this tiny matter personally. It seemed that he doted on Isabella a lot.
After parking the car, Isabella received a call from Peter.
“Isabella, we found information about Mathew’s wife’s biological family… I sent it to you on WhatsApp. If our people are not mistaken, this is indeed the correct family.”
“Send a copy to Mathew. I have a meeting later, and I also need to go out tonight. I must attend my grandfather’s birthday party and Noah’s concert…”
She had many things to do, and Cecilia had been causing trouble for her these past few days.
“Isabella, you’re going out again? This time, is it…”
“My grandfather’s illness.”
Without further explanation, Peter understood. He was only thinking about extracting Isabella’s grandfather’s address from her so he could secretly send someone to protect her…
After all, if that group of forces remained intact, Isabella would be in danger for one more day…
“No need to arrange personnel. I can handle it myself.” Isabella hung up the phone after speaking.
There were many elevators in the parking garage, and Isabella entered the nearest one, C2, and went directly to the 20th floor, according to the floor guide inside the elevator.
Even though she had already visited Mason Group and was familiar with it, it was Isabella’s first time at Dawn Group Headquarters, and she found it grand and beautiful.
At the same time, Lisa descended to the basement floor from the exclusive C1 elevator and saw Isabella’s car parked there. She guessed that Isabella must have gone upstairs.
Lucas didn’t expect Miss Isabella to be so fast. Seeing the C2 elevator stop on the 20th floor, Miss Isabella must have gone straight to the meeting room.
“Boss Logan, shall we go directly to the meeting room?” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Yes.”
As Isabella stepped into the meeting room, everyone turned to look at her.
The meeting room was spacious and bright. More than twenty heads of subsidiary companies were seated in front of the oval-shaped table. These managers were the highest- ranking officials of Dawn Group Headquarters in the Bomsville subsidiaries.
The heads of subsidiary companies from other cities would attend meetings at different times and were absent today.
Isabella didn’t expect everyone except her and Lisa to be present. What surprised her was that her seat was next to Lisa’s.
As soon as she sat down, someone made a snide remark.
“You must be Isabella, the Director of the Fashion Company, right? Finally, we get to see you in person.”
“You young people have a different way of doing things. I heard you didn’t go to the office yet still received a monthly salary.”
“You didn’t even have to attend the regular meetings. I want to ask, how could we get the same treatment?”
“The rest of us worked long hours, busy as spinning tops. Everyone either suffered from hair loss or gained weight… But you looked good, so your job must have been easy…”
Lisa, who had just arrived at the door, suddenly turned cold. She didn’t expect these people to dare to speak to Isabella
Lucas also didn’t expect so many people to confront Miss Isabella. He was about to step in and stop them when he heard a lazy voice from inside.
Isabella glanced at everyone, indifferent, and said, “There are many reasons for hair loss, and gaining weight indicates that you eat more and exercise less. If you want better treatment, do more work and complain less. When you achieve results, someone will notice you. Additionally, whether I was in good
condition or not had nothing to do with whether I was idle. The fact that you needed to spend so much time on work only showed that you lacked the ability.”
Lucas couldn’t believe that Miss Isabella would dare to say such things. While stifling his laughter, he secretly gave her a thumbs up in his heart!
Truly worthy of the Logan family, their presence was precisely the same.
Lisa was also surprised by Isabella’s sharp tongue, and her gaze softened.
But the others were different. They immediately took offence and stood up one by one.
“You little girl! Speaking so arrogantly. Are you suggesting that you’re better than us? More capable than us?”
“Have you achieved more than us?”
“Do you dare say we overeat and move too little? When we were working, you hadn’t even been born!”
“I’m older, which means I’ve been with this group for many years. My abilities have been recognized by Boss Logan, which is why I’ve been sitting in this position for so long. How dare a young girl like you speak to me like this? What about your manners? Has no one taught you what manners are?”
Faced with criticism from everyone, Isabella’s gaze remained as calm as ever.
“Respect is mutual. From the moment I stepped into this meeting room, has anyone shown me any courtesy? Everyone here is older than me, and they are my seniors. Yet, you choose to make things difficult for someone younger. In terms of experience, you are making things difficult for a newcomer like me. With your years of experience, you would have a more mature and composed attitude. But now, maturity and age do not correlate. It all depends on the person.”
As Isabella finished speaking, the whole room fell into a stunned silence…
Isabella leaned back, exuding a strong aura of a boss.
“You can sit here because you represent the highest-ranking officials of the subsidiary companies under Dawn Group Headquarters. Yet, your behaviour is like a reckless teenager. Shouldn’t you be more careful when appearing in this meeting room?”
“Anyone dissatisfied with my treatment or has a problem, please address it directly to the headquarters. Is it necessary to make things difficult for a young girl? Would that get you a raise or more vacation days?”
“If you have the guts, just quit your job. Wouldn’t it be better than wasting time here with pointless chatter?”
Standing at the door, Lucas didn’t expect Miss Isabella to speak so boldly in private. She had left these people speechless.
Lisa also didn’t expect Isabella to have such courage and presence-no wonder Isabella could control the people under her words. The previous group of schemers and troublemakers were different from her…
“Furthermore, as far as I know, some of you started from the lowest position in the company and climbed up over decades to reach the current position. Some of you were transferred from the group to become the top executives of the subsidiary companies after seven or eight years. I understand that none of your achievements during your tenure matched my accomplishments in the past six months.”
As soon as those words were uttered, everyone turned to look at her. They didn’t expect this young girl to speak so boldly!
Yes, it was true. Ever since Isabella took over the fashion company, she had accomplished one thing after another, each causing a sensation. Under her transformation, the fashion company went from barely surviving to becoming an industry benchmark. Its monthly net profit exceeded its company’s, leading them to suspect Isabella of manipulating the data…
