DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 84 To Attend the General Meeting of Shareholders Instead of William
They went upstairs and came into Jane's room.
Jane tucked William in, who was frowning and seemed to be uncomfortable.
His temperature was over 39 degrees Celsius.
"What can we do?"
William had a high fever and fell asleep. It was inhumane to ask him to get up to work.
"William didn't sleep last night. Now he caught a high fever!"
Lainey asked, "Has William worked overtime again?"
"At the end of the year, we have to make an annual statement on the company's accounts. Besides, we have so many affiliated companies. William has been busy auditing the accounts. He often works overtime until dawn"
William was such a workaholic. As his special assistant, Frederic also had no time to rest.
William had been often working overtime recently, to spare time for his family on New Year's Day.
William never told Jane these things. But he was really busy and had no time.
"I didn't know that."
Jane was frustrated. She had planned to take their son to the amusement park on New Year's Day. Then they would have dinner with Colin.
As president of the Duncan Group, William was too busy to take a rest. No one would believe this. He almost put his health at risk.
"Madam, what should we do?"
Frederic was at loss. Although William had said that Frederic could handle daily affairs on his behalf, the general meeting of shareholders was not within this scope.
"Let him take a rest. If he continues to work overtime, he would break down even before the Duncan Group goes bankrupt."
He had so many assistants and secretaries, who could help deal with various daily affairs. William didn't need to take charge of all things personally.
Those employees must be incompetent at all.
Frederic was nervous.
Was Jane blaming him?
Frederic wanted to cry. He was so busy that he broke up with his girlfriend again.
If he got married one day, his wife might be called "working".
"His physical health was threatened. We don't want to have another patient besides Master."
Jane looked at the time. Considering that William had to take a rest after receiving an injection, she suggested, "How about postponing the meeting until this afternoon?"
"It's too late to do so."
Frederic was very anxious. The reason why he came here hurriedly was just that it couldn't be delayed.
The shareholders had other appointments in the afternoon.
William, as president, couldn't be absent.
"So, what should we do? To move him to the conference room by stretcher?"
This might make those who didn't know the truth doubt that William was dying.
Jane objected to it, which would even worsen his sickness.
William didn't even have a day off throughout the year. His life was bitterer than an ordinary man's.
"Madam, he must attend it."
Frederic looked at the time again. It was too late. He suddenly said, "How about you attending the meeting?"
"I can't make it!"
Jane shook her head and refused, "I don't know how to do at all."
"Except you, no one is qualified to represent William."
Colin was unconscious, and William had a high fever. Only Jane could attend the meeting. If she didn't do so, all thing would go wrong. "Madam, it is in a mess now. Why not attend the meeting?"
Lainey persuaded Jane that she must attend it for the sake of the Duncans, and she could just view it as a banquet.
"Madam, I beg you. You can make it!"
Only William was powerful enough to quell those people. If he was absent, they might do something unfavorable to us. Frederic would be ridiculed by them.
If Jane was present, Frederic would not be alone.
Although Jane may do nothing, it was better to have someone together.
Both Frederic and Lainey persuaded her. Looking at William lying on the bed, Jane finally agreed with it.
But this was the first time that she attended the meeting. She knew nothing about it.
"Madam, now wash up and change your clothes. You must look powerful. I'll tell you details on the way." Frederic wiped his sweat on his face and took out a small mirror to refine his make-up.
Seeing Frederic holding a powder compact, she smiled wryly.
"I have to keep a good appearance!"
Frederic turned around and avoided her gaze.
Jane was vexed.
She had no aggressive clothes at all!
Jane managed to find such clothes but failed. She finally decided to wear something that would make her look like a smart capable woman. Given that her ankle almost healed up, she wore high heels. Due to limited time, she coiled up her hair and put on lipstick to make her look well.
Ten minutes later, they set off!
Frederic was wandering around downstairs anxiously. It always took his ex-girlfriend more than one hour to put on makeup.
If Jane did so, they would definitely be late for the meeting.
They would face a harder situation if they were late.
"Madam, let me tell you some basic information."
Frederic felt relieved when he saw Jane. She looked like a successful woman!
"Say it in detail."
Frederic opened the door for Jane, and she got in the car calmly. She encouraged herself that she must behave well today. "It's complex and I'll make it short."
While driving, Frederic talked about the participants of the meeting, "Including you, there are twelve people."
"Get to the point."
Frederic talked a lot but nothing mattered. Jane got impatient.
"Get it, Mrs. Jane."
Frederic replied compliantly. Jane looked very powerful. That was just what they needed!
At the meeting, a proposal for building the world's best underwater resort was to be voted.
"The world's best underwater resort?"
Jane opened her laptop to search for information. The world's best underwater resort was now in Dubai, which cost around 11 billion.
It must cost more than 11 billion.
"William was satisfied with a project that would cost 40 million."
William had been preparing for it for five years.
There were lots of technical problems in construction.
"Over the past five years, Mr. William has never given up. At the end of last year, he solved the problem of reinforced concrete."
Frederic tried his best to express himself in the most understandable words.
"Are you saying that William supports this project?"
It would cost 40 billion! Although the Duncan Group had much money, it still required a large amount of money to maintain its operation.
If something went wrong, the Duncan Group would suffer capital chain rupture and its share price would decline sharply.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
