The Hero

Chapter 46 Should You Hold It in Your Hands?

Matthew was very confident Jade would not be able to fulfill the quarterly agreement they had.

Clement had contacted him earlier in the evening and said that production had recovered while the controversy about Ban Midnoon had also subsided. Midnoon Tires also regained most of the orders that flocked to Beacon Tires when the scandal broke.

In Clement's words, Beacon Tires was one step away from bankruptcy! That's why Matthew dared to be so confident.

As the people in the meeting turned their eyes to Jade, the woman was calm and composed as she retrieved a copy of the report from her briefcase. He threw it at the meeting table and everyone took a copy. Everyone gets a copy except Matthew.

When they saw the photocopied report, they gasped. The Matthew boys who were shouting shut their mouths at that moment. This made Matthew curious. Capturing one of his subordinates to see for himself, he was shocked by what he read and stood stiff as a statue.

Jade said, “Beacon Tires has made more than two-thirds of the losses from orders from Fusion and Grazin', as well as several other small sales deals. And now, the acquisition of Midnoon Tires has allowed us to start making profits instead of staying in the red zone.

“Compared to when I first took over Beacon Tires a month ago, I already got 10% of the total production value.

“Matthew Odell, do you doubt my abilities? This is my proof!

“Again, I wonder who said that he would eat a fake report if I fulfilled a quarterly agreement? As a representative of the GM Corporation, I think you should keep your word, so that you do not lose your credibility as a leader!”

Every sentence Jade was logical, supported by evidence, and piercing. That puts Matthew in an awkward position. No matter how he racked his brains, he had no idea how Midnoon Tires was acquired by Beacon Tires.

Given how Clement had told him emphatically over the phone that Beacon Tires would be destroyed, Matthew was furious. The b*stard man secretly teamed up with Jade to trap and humiliate her tonight!

But now is not the time to face it. He had to face his predicament now first. Clearing his throat, Matthew forced a smile as he looked at Jade awkwardly

“Uh... Jade is completely capable. It only took him a month to turn the Beacon Tire losses into profits. That's a good job. This is the HR capabilities of the Odell family and Odello Corp. I'm proud of you!"

It initially felt awkward, but the more Matthew continued, the more smoothly it flowed— like he was really happy for the young woman and it didn't seem like he was the one pressing her now.

"remarkable. I'm so happy to have a niece like you. And on behalf of my late brother, I am happy. Jade, you've done an incredible job. I'm so proud of you!"

Seeing Matthew give a thumbs up, Jade felt completely disgusted. Never in his wildest dreams did he dream of someone as shameless as this old man. Apparently, it could be worse.

Matthew then continued. “Jade, since you have completed the quarterly agreement, Beacon Tire must be returned to the company. After all, Odello sent you as GM there to prove your worth, not to give it to you. I will send someone tomorrow morning to take over the management of Beacon Tires. You just go home and get enough rest!”

Not only was Jade dumbfounded at Matthew's words, the others present at the meeting were also stunned. Burn the bridge after passing it, yeah, but don't be like this! That woman saved the corporate mess that was about to close down, and this guy wanted to kick her out after everything he did? Does he have no decency?

He waved at one of his followers. "You're gonna take over Beacon Tires tomorrow morning."

Matthew was very brave to publicly seize the company for no reasonable reason. However, even when confronted by her bare-chested uncle, Jade was not angry. He scoffed, “Matthew Odell, you're not shy, are you? I'd like to ask, on what basis did you take over Beacon Tire ?”

“Jade, watch your tone. I am the deputy GM of Odello Corp. and also your second uncle. Don't be rude!”

Matthew reprimanded and replied, "Ban Beacon has always been under the corporation, No doubt!"

"Of course!" Jade answered right after him and did not reply. He then opened his bag again and took out a photocopy of the documents Javier had prepared for him last night.

Throwing a stack of documents to the meeting table, Jade spoke up as the meeting participants automatically handed out papers, “Beacon Tires has long received a full financing acquisition. 100% of shares belong to shareholders. Due to the confidentiality clause, I cannot disclose the identity of the shareholder, but you will see here that he has transferred 49% of the shares to me without the need for compensation.

"While I was the general manager of Beacon Tyres, the major shareholders are now said to be investors. The shares, which once belonged to Odello Corp, were cancelled by the court when the Decided File Beacon went bankrupt.

“In other words, Beacon Tires is currently not affiliated with Odello Corp.!” As he said those words, Jade could not help but be impressed by Javier's thorough consideration.

In the afternoon, Javier tells him that Matthew may burn the bridge after he crosses it, but he still hesitates.

Javier is right!

If he did not prepare early, all the time and effort Jade put into reviving the Beacon Ban would fall into the hands of others now!

After Jade's announcement, those in the room had already gone through the various share transfer contracts they had. They all understood that this was a Jade tactic but legally, Beacon Tires was no longer bound to Odello Corp. No one can do anything but watch.

They're all smart people here. Although Beacon Tires shares have moved here and there, but still under Jade. This is not an asset that leaves Odells. Since it was only a matter of name, no one had pierced their noses. However, they began to feel surprised by Jade's tactics. Not only did he turn the losses into profits within a month, but he also tricked Matthew and took the Ban Beacon right under the nose of Odello Corp. That girl did a great job!

Matthew was confused by the copy of the stock transfer contract. He never expected Jade to be able to do this. Not only did he fail to reap the rewards of the current Ban Beacon, but he also lost control of the company. Realizing that he had been tricked like a circus monkey, the old man trembled in anger.

"Can be delayed!" Biting him with gritted teeth, Matthew wanted to leave just like that but Jade was unwilling.

"Uncle, do you still need to hold that financial statement in your hands?" He said that he would eat it, so that was what he was going to do!
