Triple Blessings: Mr. Fu's Passionate Pursuit

Chapter 708: Chapter 704: Richelle Dunn is just playing around with our money!

Richelle Dunn returned to the conference hall five minutes later, and the atmosphere inside was exceptionally tense.

Richelle calmly took her seat and glanced at Aldo Lewis from the corner of her eye.

“Mr. Lewis, you can now represent everyone and express your opinions and questions.”

Richelle’s voice was not loud, but her tone clearly carried the air of a leader instructing a subordinate.

Aldo was slightly annoyed by her, but thinking that he would soon have the chance to retaliate, he let it go and didn’t want to quarrel with her.

“Richelle, pardon my frankness, but you better be prepared because our questions will be very sharp, and we won’t hold back just because you are the president or a major shareholder.”

Although it seemed like a reminder to Richelle, in fact, it was a threat.

He wanted to create a tense atmosphere for her in advance and increase her psychological pressure.

However, Richelle didn’t buy into his tactics and remained composed as she gestured for him to proceed.

“Mr. Lewis, please speak, I’m all ears!”

Aldo spread out the materials and projected them onto the big screen using a projector.

“First of all, Lodiva Group’s business scope is a blank area for Lewis Group, which means that acquiring Lodiva Group would expand our business into a new territory. Moreover, Lodiva Group holds a leading position within its existing business scope, so if we acquire them, Lewis Group would be at the top of that domain.”

As Aldo Lewis said this, he turned his gaze to Richelle Dunn.

“Richelle, do you agree with this?”

Richelle nodded, “I agree!”

Aldo was very satisfied with her cooperation and continued to flip through the documents.

“According to Lodiva Group’s financial statements from the previous fiscal year, even without any expansion after the acquisition, their annual business would bring us nearly a billion dollars in profit. In the current economic downturn, that’s already a very impressive profit.”

“Do you agree with this as well?”

Richelle nodded again, indicating for him to continue.

“In view of the above two points, on behalf of all directors, I raise the question: why didn’t you submit such an important acquisition case with such a promising outlook and profit to the board of directors for voting? Instead, you unilaterally rejected Lodiva Group CEO’s proposal and told them to leave immediately after two directors of the expansion department found it feasible.”

After Aldo finished speaking, the directors began to chatter.

“Such a big matter, and yet Mr. Dunn made such a unilateral decision. Isn’t our board of directors just a mere formality?”

“That’s right. This time, we have Mr. Lewis to stand up for us and support our interests, so we dare speak for our rights. If it weren’t for Mr. Lewis, we would have no choice but to watch the money slip away right before our eyes.”

“I used to think she was reliable, but now it seems that the good decisions made before probably came from Nathan. All she did was announce the final decision. In reality, she’s just an attractive pillow ornament.”

Although the directors were not speaking loudly, the conference hall was quiet enough for their seemingly whispered discussions to be heard clearly by Richelle.

Richelle sneered inwardly, but her outward appearance remained calm and composed.

She waited for the directors to finish their discussions before asking.

“Do you all need more time to vent your emotions? If so, I can give you the answer another day.”

How could the directors and Aldo Lewis let her postpone it until the next day?

By that time, if she were to bring in her powerful connections, it wouldn’t be as easy to deal with her.

So, Aldo gestured for everyone to be quiet, “Let’s calm down and first hear Mr. Dunn’s explanation before we make any further discussions.”

The directors quickly quieted down.

Richelle then projected her own materials onto the big screen.

“I won’t respond to the first point raised by Mr. Lewis for now, let me start with the second point.”

“The reason I directly rejected Lodiva Group’s CEO proposal yesterday is that they forged their data.”

The directors were in uproar again, “How is that possible? The confirmation letter included in the materials has been verified by a designated regulatory authority. How could it be fake?”

Richelle pulled up the confirmation letter and scanned over the text with a laser pointer.

“Please look carefully, directors, is there really no problem with this confirmation letter?”

After a careful look, the directors still insisted that there was no issue.

Aldo Lewis couldn’t help but pour on the sarcasm.

“Mr. Dunn, no matter how we look at it, there’s no problem with this confirmation letter. Are you just trying to toy with us?”

Richelle smiled and looked back at the screen.

“Haven’t you noticed that the confirmation letter only confirms that the data is true but does not specify the year or the date of the data?”

After Richelle’s explanation, the directors took a closer look at the confirmation letter.

Indeed, just as Richelle had said, the confirmation letter only confirmed the authenticity of the data, but it did not specify the year or date of the data.

“But that doesn’t prove anything, right? The data is true. What’s the issue?”
