My Wife Wants a Divorce by Red Little Fruit

Chapter 109 Competing for Management Rights

The crowd immediately straightened up.

Stephen began to talk about his business trip abroad.

Then, he immediately shifted the topic to Sydney. "I already know everything that happened in the company during my absence. Sydney, you managed the company well on my behalf. Good work."

On his behalf?

Sydney frowned and then smiled. "You're welcome, President Dayton. After all, I'm the largest shareholder and Vice President of the company, so it’s my duty to manage the company. It’s only natural that I work hard."

The corners of Stephen's mouth twitched, and his heart was furious.

This little girl was not easy to deal with.

He did not believe that she did not realize that he wanted to take back the management right of the company.

"Yes, you’re very sensible, but now that I'm back, you don't have to suffer so much." Stephen looked at

Sydney and smiled with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Sydney also smiled at him. "It's okay. I'm still young and like to bear hardships. You don't have to worry,

President Dayton."

Stephen's expression collapsed instantly.

The other senior executives and shareholders in the conference room bowed their heads and dared not make a sound.

They did not expect that Vice President Raines would dare to directly compete with President Dayton for power.

Was it because she had the confidence or because she was just a newborn calf who did not know how to be afraid of a tiger?

Even Luke was stunned by Sydney’s boldness.

He felt that it was not appropriate for Sydney to fight for power with President Dayton at this time. It was too impulsive.

However, he loved her, so no matter if she was right or wrong, he would stand by her unconditionally.

"Go get 'em, Darling.” Luke made a cheering motion to Sydney.

Sydney did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Shush, you."

Luke chuckled and shut his mouth.

Stephen saw that Sydney was still in the mood for flirting and blew his beard, glaring at her. "Little girl, are you serious?"

Sydney smiled. "Of course. After all, I'm the largest shareholder of the company as well as the Vice President. It won't be good if I don't have any power in my hands, right? I want half of the management right!"

She knew that she could not compete with Stephen. After all, Stephen had managed the company for so many years, and almost half the executives and shareholders here were his people.

However, she was very unwilling to return all the management rights, so she decided that even if she could not fight for all the management rights, she wanted to get at least half.

Stephen laughed in anger. "Young people nowadays are ambitious. Why didn't I notice that you had such a large ambition before?"

Sydney brushed her hair and calmly replied, "That's because I used to be protected by my father. Now that my father is gone, it's only natural that I face the trials and hardships myself. If my father was still alive, he'd be very happy for me. Don't you agree, President Dayton?"

Stephen clenched his fists and covered the ruthlessness in his eyes, replying with gritted teeth," You're right."

This little girl was good. She deliberately brought up Harry Raines to pressure him, reminding him that he was brought up by Harry. If he treated Harry's daughter like this now, he would appear ungrateful, so he could not refute her words. If he was slapped with the label of being ungrateful, what would public

opinion say about him then?

Moreover, the shares in his hand could not compare to the girl's. If public opinion affected Skylight, all the shareholders would have a problem with him and would jointly convene a shareholders' meeting to reelect the person managing the company. If that happened, all his years of effort would go down the drain.

Stephen’s chest heaved violently at the thought, but he endured his anger and did not vent it out. He looked at Sydney gloomily. "You truly are your father's daughter. Fine, I can give you half, but..."

Sydney's eyes flashed. "Please speak."

She knew that it would not be that simple.

He would try to scheme against her once.

Stephen picked up a document beside his hand. "This is a joint cooperation case for new energy technology. I spent a lot of effort to get the right to join the meeting for this cooperation case. The cooperation sponsors want to find five partners. As long as you manage to get Skylight a spot as one of those five partners, I'll give you half of the management rights."

After a pause, he added, "On the contrary, if you don't manage to get it, you have to give up the management right and leave Skylight, becoming an ordinary shareholder. Of course, if you don’t get the case but insist on fighting for the management right, then don’t blame me for bringing Skylight down along with everyone else. What do you think?" "You're threatening her!" Luke pointed at him.

Sydney held down Luke's hand and looked at Stephen. "Fine, I agree."

"Darling...”

Sydney shifted her gaze to Luke, her expression serious. "Luke, you should know what Skylight means to me. Even if this is a trap, I have to jump into it. Do you understand?"

Luke opened his mouth but was suddenly unable to say anything.

Sydney smiled with satisfaction and held out her hand toward Stephen. "Give me the cooperation case."

Stephen handed it to her with a smile. "The meeting is at 2 PM. Don't be late like this time, Sydney."

He did not think that she could get a cooperative position.

The sponsor had already said that he would only cooperate with the most powerful companies. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Skylight was not qualified at all. Stephen was just waiting for her to lose to him.

The meeting ended.

Luke took a phone call and left.

Sydney returned to the office with the case file, sat down, and immediately read it.

It was not until 1 PM that she closed the file she read through multiple times and drove to the meeting place, Cosmos Hotel.

When she arrived at the hotel, it was already 1:50 PM. The meeting was about to start in ten minutes.

Sydney parked the car and ran into the hotel in high heels. When she saw that an elevator was about to close, she quickly shouted, "Wait, I want to enter...”

That voice...

Julien's eyes narrowed and he stretched out his hand, blocking the elevator door that was about to close completely.

The elevator door sensed an obstacle, stopped closing, and reopened.

Sydney's eyes lit up when she saw this. Knowing that the people inside were waiting for her, she quickened her pace again.

Finally, she entered the elevator and braced her hands on her knees, bending over and panting heavily." Thank you.”

Julien looked down at her and his eyes just so happened to fall on her neckline.

Through the low hanging collar, he clearly saw her fair skin rising and falling with every breath, looking extremely tempting.

Julien's eyes darkened and his voice dropped. "You're

welcome."

Sydney was wiping her sweat when she suddenly jolted, thinking that she had heard wrong. She immediately stood up straight and looked up to see that it was indeed Julien Flint, and then she covered her eyes in exasperation.

Was heaven playing with her?

She just casually entered an elevator, but the person in the elevator was him.

Sydney pursed her red lips and moved two steps to the side with an indifferent face, putting some distance between Julien and her.

Julien saw that the space between them could feet at least three more people, and his handsome face darkened.

Was he the plague?

Did she have to avoid him like this?

Julien lowered his eyes, his heart a little annoyed.

Soon, the elevator arrived.

Sydney did not want to be in the same space with him and went out first.

However, after taking two steps, she heard footsteps behind her.

"You've gotta be kidding me." The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched. Then, she turned her head slightly and used her peripheral vision to see Julien walking behind her. A bold guess could not help but emerge in her heart.

Was his destination the same as hers?

This guess became more and more certain as Sydney got closer and closer to the room.

When she stood outside the room door, she turned to see Julien and caught the slight surprise that flashed in his eyes. With that, she was completely sure that he was also here to attend the meeting.

Yes, Flint Corporation was at the top of the pyramid in Port City, and he was the person in charge of Flint Corporation. How would he not be involved in such a profitable cooperation case?
