Martha hesitated for a moment before she nodded and handed the contract to Cedric.

Cedric was secretly delighted as he carefully inspected the contract. He wanted to make sure he didn't miss any gaps.

However the moment he opened the contract, his expression started to change. Wrinkles slowly appeared on his face as his hands began to tremble slightly.

However, everyone did not understand Cedric's reaction. They just thought that it was because the fake contract was too obviously fake.

"Cedric, what's written on that contract? Tell us ", ask Chloe.

Cedric closed his contract and sighed. "In the contract it is stated that Novem Group and Prism Group will enter into a long-term contract. Unless Prism Group withdraws voluntarily, this contract will remain in force. The contract promised Prism Group an annual investment of at least 50 million dollars and a profit of more than 50%. Its profits will increase according to the market growth rate of Prism Group "..

When they heard it, everyone was startled at first, but they immediately burst out laughing. Some even shed tears from laughing.

"That's fake! It must be fake! Ha ha! This is an amazing joke! "

"Geez! He has a wild imagination! Quinn, I suggest you switch careers and become a novelist. Your novels are sure to be a big hit ".

"Oh, i... I can't anymore. This is so funny! Let me take a look. I want to see it with my own eyes ".

Chloe wiped her tears and took the contract from Cedric. When he saw her requirements, he laughed once more. But when he turned to the last page, his laughter suddenly stopped.

The signature on the courtyard instantly caught his attention, and he felt numb from the shock.

"I-It's real?" Chloe was stunned to the point. The contract slipped out of his hand and fell to the floor.

Everyone scrambled to see the contract, and everyone was shocked.

"How is... How is this possible? Is this contract real? "

Martha could not help herself anymore when she heard that. He put on his glasses and examined them personally. After glancing back and forth between Quinn and her contract, she finally asked in amazement, "How did you do it?"

"I know".

Before Quinn could say a word, Cedric started talking while thinking about something. "Novem Group must have the intention to cooperate with us, so the contract has been prepared in advance. Quinn happened to approach them at the right time. At this point, even permanent employees can secure these contracts. Over the past few years, the Prism Group has grown tremendously. Coupled with Grandpa's reputation, it makes sense that Novem Group has a good impression on us and wants to work with us. This was definitely not due to Quinn's contribution "..

When Cedric said that, the stunned crowd began to nod in agreement.

"yes too. There is no other explanation for this ".

Quinn began to panic when she heard those words. "The matter of appointing me president on the side, I have to explain something. The reason why I was able to get a contract with Novem Group was because of Travis. He knew the majority shareholder, Austin Long, and asked him for special help. What Cedric said is not true ".

"Well! Quinn, do you hear yourself? Are you so desperate to even use the name Austin Long? My, you really don't know your limits, do you? "

"That useless guy actually asked Austin Long for special help? You might also say that you got special treatment from one of the senior executives of Novem Group. It'll be more believable. After all, you're at least benefited in terms of your appearance ".

"We all know that you are eager to succeed and get promoted. Don'worry. Even if you're lucky this time, Grandma won't treat you unfairly. You can't be president, but you can at least be a director ". Cedric scoffs.

"Shut up, Cedric! Don't assume that everyone is as despicable and hypocritical as you! ". Quinn shouted furiously. "You're just trying your hardest to stop me from being appointed president so Patty can be appointed instead. However, this is not your decision. Grandma promised. No matter who it is and what means they use, they will be promoted as president as long as they have completed their duties. Unless you retract your words, Grandma? "

Quinn's fed up. After so many years of being bullied, he would not back down this time.

No matter what, he would fight for his own benefit. He refused to be used again.

Martha lifted her head and replied neutrally, "I will definitely keep my promise. However, of course, this contract negotiation process needs to be considered. In addition, based on your ability, appointing you as president of the R&D Department will be a problem because the staff will not listen to you. I'll give you two choices. One, I'll move the president of the Warehousing Department and give you the presidency. "

He paused briefly then continued, "Two, stayed in the R&D Department as Vice President and underwent an assessment. If you fail, you will return to your current position as a Sales Manager. "

When they heard Martha's words, everyone present grinned knowingly.

Martha makes allowances to make a profit.

The Warehousing Department is the most unemployed department in the company but it is also an unwelcome department. Therefore, there is no point in being the president of that department. In addition, they must work with various departments to deliver goods because improper scheduling will result in dissatisfaction from all parties.

Quinn was a saleswoman, so this kind of behind-the-scenes job wasn't her forte. Moreover, a person who was as ambitious as him would not be willing to submit to working in such a department.

With that, he had a second choice to stay in the R&D Department.

The position of Vice President of R&D is not small, but Martha has added an assessment, which means the result will depend on that.

On the other hand, Martha loves Patty and is confident in her abilities. It was clear that the position of president had belonged to Patty from the very beginning. If Quinn was willing to help him, it would work. But, with the two of them at odds with each other, Quinn would suffer regardless of who was right or wrong.

In addition, the pressure from Cedric would create a difficult situation for Quinn as Vice President of the R&D Department.

Of course, Quinn could also turn down one of the options and ask for another reward while maintaining her position as Sales Manager.

Quinn was planning to do that. However when he saw the contemptuous gaze that everyone had, flames started burning in his heart.

& ltOne must live with dignity. I will not be oppressed for the rest of my life. No way! & gt
