Chapter 42 a One-Billion Order
Chapter 42 a One-Billion Order
"Why?" With Yank Wood's help, Lucy Long protested. She didn't dare say that she had sacrificed a lot
for the GD Company, but she had a clear conscience about everything she did. She couldn't accept it
just because of this.
Ted Long snorted and said, "Why? If you don't withdraw, if you sell the GD Company one day, won't we
lose more than you gain? We have to be prepared in advance." This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
His words were unanimously agreed by the Long family's members.
"Yes, we can't let Lucy Long take power anymore."
"The Long family doesn't allow such an evil person to exist."
"Patriarch, hurry up and drive Lucy Long out of the family."
Lucy Long felt extremely wronged. The members of the family didn't treat her as a family member at all.
She looked at her grandfather, Austin Long, in the main seat, and wanted to ask him to uphold justice,
but was stopped by Yank Wood. She whispered, "Do you think he doesn't know?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Austin Long slammed the table. With a flash of light in his eyes, he
suddenly swept his eyes toward the people present. The power of the family head suddenly spread to
the hall, making everyone quiet down and dare not say anything more.
"You've finished talking. It's obvious that everyone has seen the result since Lucy took charge of the
group. Each of you has more money in your pockets. Now you're hitting her when she's down. Is this
how the Long family is?"
More or less, the members of the Long family had shares of the GD Company. After Lucy Long took
charge of the group, she could get more than 100,000 dividends every month, but they thought that as
members of the Long family, they should get it. They didn't think that it was Lucy Long's credit at all.
His words made many people's faces look bad, but Jack Long was not convinced. He had been
dissatisfied for a long time. Why could Lucy Long be the general manager? He should be the general
manager.
"Grandpa, but if we don't do anything to Lucy Long, I'm afraid that the family members will not accept it
and think that you are partial to Lucy Long." Jack Long said directly.
Hearing this, Austin Long's face quickly darkened. He turned back and glared at Ted Long, saying
deliberately, “Ted, it seems that your education of your son is very good.
How dare he criticize elders in front of me?"
Hearing this, Ted Long's face froze. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Dad, Jack is also thinking about
the Long family. If you don't take any measures this time, the others will soon follow suit. At that time,
everything will be in chaos."
As he spoke, he secretly winked at the granduncles sitting aside.
These old men had long been bribed by Ted Long. This time, they came here to suppress Lucy Long
and let her get off the position of general manager and let Ted Long get the position.
"Ted is right. Austin, you can't be so partial to Lucy Long, which will make other people in the Long
family disagree."
"That's right. After all, we have learned from our previous mistakes. We can't be off guard."
“……”
Several uncles took turns to persuade Austin Long to make a final decision and could not let this matter
go.
After a while, Austin Long thought for a while, stood up, and said to everyone, "After all, the three
families came to apologize. It's a bit hard to remove the position as general manager of Lucy. How
about this? Since everyone wants to take this position, let's have a competition."
Competition?
Hearing this, everyone frowned slightly, waiting for Austin Long's further explanation.
"Yes, it's a competition. The position of general manager of the GD Company naturally belongs to the
capable. I won't let anyone close to me do it. If anyone can sign a one-billion list for the group within a
week, he will naturally be the general manager." Austin Long said calmly.
After that, he deliberately looked at Yank Wood with more provocation in his eyes, as if he was talking
to him.
Yank Wood's face was as cold as frost. Yank Wood was forcing him to show his trump card. If he didn't
help Lucy Long, the position of general manager would be given away.
At that time, Lucy Long's status would plummet, and the situation would be more difficult.
The others were in an uproar. A few people who were eager to replace Lucy Long retreated. It would
take at least a month to prepare for such a sky-high order, and they might not necessarily succeed.
Not to mention that it had been a week. This was an impossible task!
Jack Long knew that he had angered Austin Long today, so he decided to go all out and ignore it. He
said, "Grandpa, if you don't want to deal with Lucy Long, we can all understand. There is no need to
force her like this."
“Jack Long, you were not convinced before that I would let Lucy be the general manager, but since you
want to take this position, you have to show me your strength." Austin Long glared at Jack Long and
paused before continuing, "Don't worry, I won't favor anyone."
As he spoke, he looked at Lucy Long with a calm face and said gently, "Lucy, I have always been
confident in you, but you have seen the situation. Are you willing to accept this challenge?"
Lucy Long knew that her grandfather had been forced to do nothing. She didn't want to make things
difficult for him, so she said firmly, "Grandpa, I am willing to accept this challenge. If I fail, I will give up
the position of general manager without any complaints."
Hearing this, Austin Long nodded with satisfaction and replied, "Don't worry. If you really can't finish it, I
won't let others take this position. I, an old man, will personally manage the company's affairs."
Then he looked at the crowd and asked lightly, "In short, whoever has completed the task can be the
general manager. If Lucy Long can't do it, give up her position as general manager. Is there anyone
else who has a different opinion now?"
The whole hall was silent, and no one made any sound.
On the way home from the Longs' Mansion, the atmosphere in the car was so heavy that neither of
them made a sound. Yank Wood was focused on driving, still thinking about Austin Long's behavior.
The old fox's calculation was so good that he had to admire him!
On the one hand, he maintained the perfect image of a good grandfather, which did not make Lucy
Long feel anything wrong. At the same time, he could secretly win people's hearts and dispel the
worries of the family members.
The most important thing was that he could quietly take back the control of the group, which could be
said to be three birds with one stone.
Suddenly, Lucy Long interrupted Yank Wood's thoughts. "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Yank Wood smiled, shook his head, and said, "No, I think my wife is very bold. If you hadn't been so
beautiful, I would have thought that the person standing beside me was a man!"
