Chapter 1035


    In Mr.Pearce''s lead, many board members agreed with Mr.Holden''s statement.


    "Well, since everyone agrees with Mr.Holden, then let''s raise our hands and vote for an acting


    chairman."


    Jared was alone and could only preside ording to the majority opinion now.


    "Max, you will preside over the election of the acting chairman," Jared said.


    "Okay."


    "I will call out the names of the board members in order, and everyone will raise their hands to vote.We


    will elect the one with the most votes as the acting chairman." Max announced the voting rules.


    "Starting with Jared, all those who vote for Jared as acting chairman raise their hands.Jared has eight


    votes."


    "All those who vote for Mr.Holden as acting chairman raise their hands.Mr.Holden, four


    votes."иσν???вσσк.￠σм


    "Raise your hand for Mr.Pearce as acting chairman.Three votes for Mr.Pearce."


    "All those who vote for Henry to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.Henry has twelve votes."


    "All those who voted for Mr.Campbell to serve as acting chairman raise their hands.-Mr.Campbell five


    votes."


    "Finally, I announce Henry will act as acting chairman of thepany in the absence of Mr.Johnston


    Sr.," Max announced.


    The room erupted in apuse as Henry stood up pretentiously to look at those who had elected him.


    "I hope that during my time as acting chairman, we can work together to boost ourpany''s


    performance before I hand back the helm to Mr.Johnston Sr.Thank you all, especially to Jared, for his


    support."


    Henry did not forget to take a jab at Jared.


    "Then we will all look forward to Henry''s highlight reel."


    Jared deliberately ttered Henry by repeating his promise, meaning to remind everyone to monitor


    him together, which would make his every move more transparent.


    The meeting ended, and Jared left the room first.


    Henry and his cohorts were talking loudly and joyfully in the room.He was now the acting chairman.


    The entire group had to listen to him, and Jared could no longer flex his muscles in front of him like


    before.


    Back in the office, Max could not help but say, "Mr.Johnston, Henry is clearly trying to take advantage


    of the opportunity to usurp the position.Why did you let him do what he wanted?"


    Max just watched Henry''s smug look in the conference room and felt like punching him in the face.He


    could not stand that Henry was too eager to usurp the position while his father was ill.He felt Henry was


    abominable, like those rebellious ministers in ancient times.

    "You just saw it; those are his men.That those weasels were sitting there meant they hade


    prepared.Even if I could stop them today, there is tomorrow and the day after.One day, they are going


    to make things even worse, and then it will be hard to control."


    Jared was avoiding a head-on collision with Henry now.


    During a time when Mr.Johnston Sr.was still in intensive care, angering him would make things worse.


    "So, what do we do now? We are only halfway through the cooperation with Martin."


    Max was worried that Henry would cause trouble for Jared.


    "We will go ahead with the cooperation with Martin.You tell us to speed up the process ande up


    with a revenue analysis as soon as possible.Even if there are objections, as long as we have the data


    in hand, those directors are not stupid, and they won''t let a wonderful project go by without seizing


    it.They won''t sacrifice their wallet to help Henry."


    In Jared''s eyes, those people''s minds were like exhibits in front of him; he knew them too well.
