Chapter 219: The Competition for Deputy Director

As the votes were tallied one by one, no one anticipated the final outcome. "The two candidates have the same number of votes," announced the last vote, resulting in Aurora and Eric having an equal total. This outcome was somewhat awkward; usually, major decisions were made through shareholder voting, and before Paul was removed, the number of shareholders was odd.

With Paul's removal, the total number became even. Among the shareholders were close friends of Paul, genuine supporters of Eric, and those who distrusted Aurora. Even with the chairman and the president supporting Aurora, the outcome remained unchanged.

"The chairman, since the votes are tied, I think Eric should take over. He has been with the company longer, is well-versed in business, and has broader connections. Eric is the most suitable candidate for deputy director; you should choose him."

"Yeah, I also think we shouldn't joke about this."

"I think Aurora is also good and capable of holding this position."

Thus, the matter returned to the starting point, and everyone continued to argue. Aurora spoke calmly at this moment: "Since the votes are tied, it seems like this is fate's arrangement."

"What arrangement?" Grandpa Montgomery looked at her, puzzled.

Aurora's lips curled into a faint smile: "I just heard you say, chairman, that our company

is vying for a major business deal. Why not use this deal as a little test for us?"

"Aurora, the more you talk, the more confusing you get. What test?"

Eric, who had been silent, seemed to have understood Aurora's suggestion, "I think Aurora means for me and her to compete. Whoever can secure this business deal will become the deputy director."

"That's a good idea, especially since our company's reputation has already been damaged. Luminary has become a major public company and just recently set up a branch in Clothville. Their company values integrity above all. With the Montgomery Group's reputation destroyed, it could affect their impression of us. Since it's already like this, why not treat this project as a test for them? If successful, wouldn't it prove our strength?"

"I agree."

"I agree too."

nodded in agreement, looking towards Grandpa Montgomery, who held the largest share of stock; his word would be final. Grandpa Montgomery looked at Aurora, "Aurora, do you realize how big
