See You Never, Mr. Lamont by Coral

Chapter 98

Chapter 98 Shameless
Although this project was a collaboration with the Lamont Group, it would have been quite delicate if the leader of the Friedan Group had sided with the Lamont Group.
Claudia put down the documents in her hand and lazily raised her beautiful eyes, saying, “Representing the Lamont Group is Claudia, and taking over the project is Seraphina.”
“Clap, clap.” The woman stood up and applauded, “That was very well said.”
‘So does this mean that you insisted on being a fence-sitter?”
Claudia chuckled softly, her voice husky, and particularly alluring, “So, what brilliant idea does Felicia have?”
Felicia Greer didn’t expect to be burdened with the problem herself, her smile froze: “This is your matter, what ideas can I have? But if you don’t clarify your position, how can anyone believe in you?”
“Don’t waste your time talking to her!” One person slammed the table and stood up, addressing Ervin, “Mr. Friedan, this project is very important for the company. Even if she is a member of the Friedan family, we cannot just hand over the project to someone without experience. I understand Mr. Friedan’s personal emotions, but we have so many people to support in the company. We cannot afford to play around like this with you.”
“What’s wrong with playing with us?” Waldron played with his phone, his evil lips curling slightly, looking arrogant and insolent. “The company was founded by my grandfather. Although you are shareholders, we don’t care about your shares.”
The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.
Although everyone knew that Waldron had a bad temper and was arrogant, no one expected him to speak so harshly.
“And what are you? Who gave you the right to meddle here? If you don’t want to do it, just say so and get the hell out of here,” Waldron sneered at the person, showing no respect in his words.
The person’s face turned pale and then red, standing there as if being roasted over a fire.
He was just a small shareholder, he didn’t dare to go on strike.
Everyone looked at Ervin, but they found him looking down and playing with his phone, as if he hadn’t heard or stopped Waldron’s intention.
Felicia had to stand up and mediate: “Mr. O’Brien is also worried about this project failing. We are all on the same team, so let’s discuss it together…”
She spoke while feeling startled, not expecting Claudia’s high status within the Friedan family, even the first heir of the Friedan family, Ervin, was helping her.
She and Elva were good friends and didn’t have a good impression of this newcomer Claudia, but at this moment, they had to change their attitude toward her.
“Ms. Lloyd, Mr. Obrien has always been quite straightforward, please don’t mind.” Felicia’s tone softened, conveying a different attitude altogether.
At the Friedan Group, the ones in charge are still the members of the Friedan family.
Claudia pursed her lips and remained silent.
She had already anticipated that these people would not accept her.
“Actually, Mr. Obrien was right. I had no experience in architecture…” Claudia chuckled lightly, her lips resembling a blooming rose,
enchanting and alluring.
Although her voice was gentle, it sent a chill down the hearts of those present.
“However… I don’t need this kind of experience. The Friedan Group has many talented individuals, such as Ms. Greer who excels in architectural design, and Mr. Obrien who has a better understanding of procurement of building materials. As for the others, you all have your own areas of expertise. Despite my young age, I know how to allocate resources effectively to maximize benefits. The tasks that I am not skilled in should be entrusted to those who are skilled, like all of you. As for my strengths, it lies in leading you all and ensuring that each module is done well.”

“My task was to allocate you all reasonably, wasn’t it?”
As soon as her voice fell, the air became eerily silent.
Ervin raised his slender fingers and adjusted his glasses, his face filled with a contented smile.
Waldron even gave her a thumbs up.
Who said she was going to do things? She will just manage people.
Felicia couldn’t find any fault in Claudia’s words for a moment.
This statement affirmed their abilities and efforts, while also being realistic and sincere.
She was young, but she was also a leader.
No one would question Claudia’s professionalism as a leader, as she had a clear understanding of all the areas in which she excelled.
After all, the core of being a manager is to manage people, not to do
tasks.
Even if the manager did not agree, they could not refuse at this
moment.
You don’t agree, then why don’t you become the leader of the Friedan Group?
Did Thomas get squeezed out?
They didn’t dare, nor did they have the courage.
“You’re right,” Felicia smiled and didn’t argue, “You are the main manager, only responsible for assigning tasks, and naturally there are people below to do them.” But deep down, she couldn’t help but smile.
Is it really that simple for leaders to just manage their subordinates?
The young girl thought things too simply.
Since that’s the case, then just wait and see. She wants to see if this young girl who recently graduated can really catch this plate.
Felicia’s ability to change her attitude, even though the shareholders had witnessed it before, still impressed them with her adaptable nature.
People who can sit in the position of a shareholder at such a young age are indeed extraordinary.
Claudia smiled and said nothing. She knew that her presence had offended certain people’s interests, but she was indeed not good at
architectural matters, and she would not pretend to be knowledgeable.
Just because Ervin entrusted her with this matter, she had to put on a good show on the surface.
If it really didn’t work, Ervin was still there to support everyone, so they could relax and lie down.
If the shareholders of the Friedan Group knew that this was what she thought, they would probably be so angry that each and every one of them would need to be hospitalized.
Ervin and Waldron didn’t expect her to resolve the matter so quickly. After the meeting ended and the crowd dispersed, only a few members of the Friedan family remained.
Derrick walked over to Ervin and said, “Ervin, Elva wants to study at Mr. Moore’s place. Do we still have a spot available?”
Craig gave the Friedan family a spot every year, and this time was no exception.
Ervin nodded, “Yes, but it has already been given to Seraphina. If she really wants to go, she can take Mr. Moore’s private lessons.”
Private tutoring is one-on-one, which seems great, but it lacks the academic atmosphere.
Derrick remained silent and instead looked at Claudia, struggling to find the right words.
Waldron quickly reminded before he spoke, “Remember to go through your words in your mind before speaking.”
He was most afraid of Derrick saying something that would make Claudia give up her spot. Lately, Derrick has been acting foolish, as if he’s been possessed, and he had to be on guard.
Derrick looked at Claudia, his face filled with complexity as he thought about Elva’s words from yesterday.
He did have some faults, and he didn’t want to make the same mistakes
again.
Just now, he watched Claudia’s game with the higher-ups clearly. He thought Claudia would escalate the situation, but he didn’t expect her to easily resolve it, preventing the situation from getting worse.
She was more formidable than he had imagined.
Early in the morning, Elva messaged him about the quota matter. He readily agreed, but now…
If Elva knew about this, she would probably cause a scene.
Derrick’s face was filled with bitterness.
Claudia didn’t expect the training opportunity to be so popular. Without even looking at Derrick, her eyes wandered and she turned to Ervin, saying, “I want to go and see the site for the construction.”
She remembered that this project was still in the planning stage, with a wide range of land area involved and no location determined. Without conducting on-site investigations, it would always be just empty talk on paper.
