Hazel was thinking about the execution of the proposal when she asked that question.
Elisa glanced at Gareth from the corner of her eye. She realized he had no intention to speak, as
though he wanted her to handle the situation alone.
If Elisa could not assert herself, it would be difficult for her to undertake this task.
I wouldn’t care so much if I have nothing to do with this plan; I can just say that I was asked by Gareth.
However, if this proposal brings a lot of profit, I will be respected by Benett Corporation in the future.
Under everyone’s gazes, she said, “Ms. Becker, are you doubting my leadership capabilities because I
don’t have any relevant experience?”
“Anyone can come up with a great plan. But when it comes to the execution, something might be left
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtout. This is a huge investment, after all. If we encounter any problems, it will come at a great cost to the
company. I hope you understand my concerns about this.”
Hazel had always been a straightforward and frank person. To her, there was nothing wrong in voicing
her concerns.
The crowd looked at Elisa again. Some thought gleefully, Hah! Does she think she can call the shots
around here just because she’s slightly capable? How can such an inexperienced girl head this critical
project? If there are any issues, she won’t have to bear the responsibility for the colossal losses.
Instead, Gareth will be responsible because he makes the final decisions. If that happens, the only
person who will be criticized will be Gareth, not Elisa. Perhaps Gareth’s decision will be questioned as
well. How can a woman like Elisa shoulder this tremendous responsibility?
“Of course, I understand your perspective. Ms. Becker, why don’t you point out some of the challenges
we might face? You are always welcome to test me on how I’ll resolve them. I know everyone doubts
my problem-solving skills from the presentation alone.” Elisa nodded calmly without showing any
discomfort.
On the contrary, she proposed a logical solution to prove herself.
This time, there was a look of approval in the people who were prejudiced against her, including Hazel.
With a nod, Hazel asked, “Fair point. Based on the first part of your presentation, I would like to know
your actions if any unforeseen accidents occur in the manufacturing process. If someone sabotages
our plan, causing the product unable to be pushed to the market in time, what will you do?”
“It depends on how we are being sabotaged. I’m quite good at pursuing legal action.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe crowd went silent upon hearing that, not knowing what to say.
Most of the unforeseen accidents came from competitors who had malicious intentions. However, no
one could stop a natural disaster from happening, as they couldn’t predict the future.
Hazel smiled. “You’re right, Ms. Benett. You’re Iris, after all. Once it’s known to the public that you will
be handling the project, no one will dare to publicly offend you. However, what if someone secretly
ruins the plan without leaving behind any evidence? How would you resolve the challenges when all
the evidence is destroyed?”
Elisa looked at her with ease. “Ms. Becker, Wickam Group has been around for many years, and we
have taken the lead on countless projects. How many accidents have we encountered so far? In my
opinion, everyone working here is talented and meticulous. I’m sure they will take the necessary
precaution, and we have all signed the non-disclosure agreement. As for the rest, I’m sure you can
keep everything under control. Don’t you think so?”
Surprise flitted across the crowd’s eyes.
