The crowd was already bewildered and intrigued by the sudden personnel transfer. When they heard someone objecting, everyone immediately turned to look at the person who spoke.
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his late forties. He was short and fat with a protruding belly, and he had a bald spot in the middle of his head. He was Oliver Harvey, the director of the sales department of the Stardust Corporation.
Harvey was a senior employee of the Stardust Corporation. Having been with the company for more than ten years, he was quite esteemed too. Everyone even considered him the most likely person to take over the position of deputy general manager.
So when he stood up and opposed the decision of the higher-ups, it held a lot of weight for the attendees of this meeting.
Davis narrowed his eyes slightly before leaning back in his chair with his hands crossed and placed on the conference table on stage. “Mr. Harvey, may I know what your reason is?”
Harvey smiled and said to everyone else in the conference hall, “As we all know, Miss Charlotte Carter has been an employee of our company for less than two months, and she’s still just an ordinary employee. In such a short period of time, she was promoted from a junior position to the deputy general manager of the company. In my opinion, this is too drastic of a speed. Hence, I oppose this decision.”
Many executives secretly nodded in agreement.
The deputy general manager of the corporation was a significant role and could even be considered the goal of each of the executives. When the position of deputy general manager was finally vacated, all of them were eager and excited, hoping that they could fill it.

But the position that they all dreamed of was now in the hands of a young girl who had been an employee of the company for less than two months and was only in her twenties. They were naturally disgruntled and opposed to that decision.
In fact, Harvey’s words simply struck a sour note in their hearts.
When Davis saw Harvey openly opposing his decision and even stirring the emotions of many employees in the conference hall, his face turned sullen.
He stretched his hand toward James Denning, his secretary, who then immediately placed a document in his hand.
Davis threw the document onto the center of the large and wide conference table and said coldly, “This is the information that I got someone to collate. All of Charlotte Carter’s attainments and performance since joining the Stardust Corporation are stated clearly in there. You may pass this around so that everyone can take a closer look.
“Yes, Charlotte might be young and relatively new to the company. But the contracts she has clinched with her own efforts in such a short period of time account for more than half of all the contracts signed with the company during this time! Which one of you can achieve this?”
Once Davis said this, many of them seemed rather astonished.
Has Charlotte Carter clinched more than half of the contracts signed with the company during this period of time? What outstanding performance!
Some people were in disbelief and thus opened the document that Davis had someone pass around, only to be stunned by the shocking number of contracts signed and the value of the contracts.
They didn’t expect that this nameless newcomer, who had only joined the company a short time ago, was actually that competent!
After seeing the change in everyone’s expression, Davis said, “Charlotte Carter’s outstanding performance is the reason I decided to promote her to deputy general manager, despite her being a new employee who’s less experienced than many of the senior staff here. She’s definitely competent enough!

“I would also like all of you here to understand that as long as you are hardworking and competent enough, you will be given the opportunity to shine in the Stardust Corporation instead of relying on spending time to accumulate more experience for a promotion! Since Charlotte Carter has managed to be promoted with her own abilities, each one of you here can too!”
“In addition, I would also like to say that the promotion of Charlotte Carter is not my personal decision, but a consensus that the chairman and the board of directors have reached after discussion. It is entirely in line with the company’s promotion criteria and rules.”
After Davis said his piece, many of them were full of zeal, especially the middle and lower management staff.
Since Charlotte, a newcomer of the company, could be promoted to deputy general manager because of her outstanding performance, they believed that as long as they worked hard and strove to become better, they would be able to perform well and get promoted too.
All of a sudden, the majority of people felt greatly encouraged, and Charlotte’s super promotion had undoubtedly become an excellent example for them to learn from.
Davis once again scanned the expressions of the people in the conference hall and felt relieved. He stood up and said, “In that case, that’s all we have for today’s meeting. The meeting is adjourned.”
“Wait a minute!”
Just when Davis wanted to pack up and leave the conference hall, a voice sounded out of the blue and interrupted him. It once again attracted the attention of all the attendees of the meeting.
Standing in place, Harvey sneered. “Flynn Davis, you sound so righteous and morally upright, but don’t you think I don’t know the nasty things you’ve done in secret!”
As soon as he said this, everyone was astonished!
One reason was that Oliver Harvey actually had the guts to address Davis, the general manager, by his full name. As if that wasn’t rude enough, he even said those things to him!
Nasty things? Has Flynn Davis really done something shameful and sordid?
Before Davis and the others could say anything, Harvey continued, “Hmph, don’t think I’m talking nonsense. I have evidence against you! Once everyone sees it, you will understand why Charlotte Carter got promoted to deputy general manager!”
He took out a large briefcase from below his seat, which he had long prepared. He then took out a large stack of photos from it and waved his hand to scatter them all over the conference hall.
Some people subconsciously picked up a few photos, only to look flabbergasted and widen their eyes in disbelief after seeing the contents carefully.
“Wow!”
“Oh my god! How is this possible?”
“Wow! This is too… inappropriate!”
Everyone exclaimed one after another. Immediately afterward, they began to cast dirty looks of disdain and shock at Davis and Charlotte.
Charlotte’s heart dropped, and she intuitively felt an ominous hunch. She reached out to take one of the photos, and as soon as she saw the picture clearly, blood surged to the top of her head while her body turned cold!
Charlotte was photographed lying beside Davis with a coquettish smile on her face and one arm wrapped tightly around his neck. Their faces were almost pressed together, and they looked extremely intimate!
