Chapter 97 Hannah’s First Meeting
Chapter 97 Hannah’s First Meeting
It was very quiet in the meeting room of the Sales and Marketing Department.
There were two new leaders coming today.
Originally, they had only been informed that Mary Cooper was coming to work, while the new director
was not some big shot.
Only now did they know that the new Director of the Sales and Marketing Department was Hannah
Wells.
Furthermore, they heard that there was a big joke just now. Everyone had been respectful to Mary but
Hannah had been directly ignored. The scene was extraordinarily awkward at a point.
It was still a bit awkward.
“Hello everyone, I’m Hannah Wells, the new Director of the Sales and Marketing Department. It’s my
first day at work here. So I called a meeting with you all to get to know you so that we can cooperate
better in the future.” Hannah said in a tone that was neither too humble nor too arrogant. She looked
very matured and reliable.
At this moment, all people could not help but look at Hannah.
People would have a first impression of someone based on the way the person spoke.
They thought that Hannah was not capable of this post, for she had been born with a silver spoon in Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
her mouth and she was supposed to be arrogant and bossy, and she came here to experience life and
play casually just like Jane. And finally, Jane had indeed been found to be incapable and she had even
held the team back. Staff in the group all knew that it was not easy to be the director of this department,
which was probably why the former director immediately left when Hannah came to be in this position.
But at this moment, Hannah’s attitude towards others and her humbleness when talking to people
inexplicably left a good impression on everyone.
Welcome applause rang out in the scene.
“To be frank, I’m the daughter of Miguel Cooper, chairman of Cooper Group. I’m 22 years old and this is
my first time coming to a workplace so I’m not familiar with how things work here. So, if I have the
wrong judgment in the professional field, I hope you guys can point it out. I hereby assure everyone
that nothing here is personal.”
Everyone was surprised by her courage and presentation skills. This fledgling young lady was not to be
underestimated.
Those who were older and more experienced than her also felt a sense of oppression from her, yet
they didn’t think she was using her identity to put them in an inferior position, but rather she was just
having a serious attitude towards the work.
“I won’t waste time in the meeting room to get to know you guys. I’ll be familiar with you guys one by
one during the work in the future. Without further ado, I’ll now make a simple work arrangement,”
Hannah said straightforwardly without beating around the bush.
According to the situation in the past, a new inaugural meeting would at least have greetings for at
least half an hour, not to mention there would be self-introduction one by one so this entire process
would normally take at least half a day.
In the workplace, nobody wanted to delay the work time for a meeting as they would have to delay their
off-work time to make up for the work they owed.
“Firstly, all the supervisors here now please join a chat group so that arrangements related to work can
be better done in the future. I hereby emphasize that things that aren’t related to work aren’t allowed to
send there. Secondly, I need a list of important work handled by every person now and I need to
understand the main work of the department now. Hand to me the report on the progress and the main
people who are in charge of them before the end of the day. Thirdly, I need resumes of all the
employees in the Sales department so that I can know everyone better.” After saying that, she paused
for a moment and said bluntly, “This task will be handled by Mary.”
Mary was stunned.
She did not expect that Hannah would suddenly mention her.
“Like me, you’re new to the company too so you also need to get familiar with all the employees.”
“Yes.” Mary agreed with some reluctance.
This kind of work obviously should be done by the secretary.
However, Hannah handed this task to her like that, which was totally not being kind to her although the
reason she used was very good.
“Give it to me before the end of the day.” Hannah added.
“Alright.”
“That’s all, you guys may leave now.” Hannah got up.
Everyone was surprised that the meeting was less than ten minutes.
The efficiency was amazing.
In Hannah’s office, the cleaning lady was still doing her job ans she was extremely embarrassed.
She looked at Hannah and stammered, not able to come out with a proper word.
Hannah did not give her an out and turned around to leave.
She felt that there was a need for her to report to her father on her first day at work.
Hannah’s sudden absence made the others confused.
On the other hand, Mary gritted her teeth and returned to her office.
The office was indeed meticulously decorated. If Hannah had not appeared, she certainly would have
been satisfied at this moment. But because of Hannah, she felt it was a humiliation to stay in this office.
She held back the displeasure in her mind, took a deep breath and called her father.
After the call got through, Mary said in an extremely aggrieved tone.
“Dad.”
“It’s your first day at work today, how is it?” Roger doted on Mary a lot.
And he was fond of Mary a lot more than ever before since Jane had done those things that brought
shame to him and Mary was a well-behaved daughter to him.
“I’m fine. I just didn’t expect that Hannah comes to work as well.” Mary was with a surprised tone.
“What?”
He had specifically instructed the Human Resources Department yesterday that his daughter was
coming to work and asked them to welcome her well. But, he did not expect that Hannah would have
come to the company too.
“She prevailed over me instantly after coming,” Mary began to choke as she said, “With her identity as
the daughter of the chairman, she directly disgraced me in front of everyone. When people treated me
warmly and enthusiastically, she showed an unhappy face. She also asked me to do a secretary’s job
during the meeting just now.”
“Who is she to treat you like this!” Roger was livid.
“She is the Director of the Sales and Marketing Department but I’m only a manager who was her
inferior. She is my boss now,” Mary said with the grievance, “I don’t think there is anything with Hannah
being my boss as she is elder. I just feel unfair for Jane, I heard that when she previously worked as
the manager, Uncle Miguel didn’t quite agree with it, saying that it was not suitable for her to be in such
a high position while she was new here, and he worried that it might be a subject of ridicule. He even
acted as if our family owed him a lot. But now, Uncle Miguel directly lets his daughter become the
director. In Northfield, I think nobody has ever become a director when he or she is only 22.”
Mary’s words ignited Roger, who had been jealous of Miguel. He was completely unable to accept it.
