"What will the future of Denmark Group be if it's given to soone who has no experience?"
Hazel raised her eyebrows in astonishnt. While the directors were uniformly opposed to Joshua putting Denmark Group in her hands, didn't it an… that they had admitted her identity?
She had thought the directors would bite the bullet and firmly deny her identity, but now they admitted her identity too quickly, and all seed too smooth.
Joshua also raised his eyebrows slightly. It seed they did not want to tangle with him too much on the subject, or they knew that it was no use for them to do so, so they would settle for second best and would obstruct Hazel elsewhere.
"Hazel knows Denmark Group well enough, and I trust her ability," Joshua said quietly. "Don't you trust my instincts?"
The directors were utterly helpless because Joshua's words were no different from advising them directly, but they did not want to make an allowance any longer.
"Of course, we trust your judgnt, but when it cos to Hazel Crowe, very likely you would be biased."
"If you trust her, shouldn't you at least let us have reason to trust her?"
"Yeah, no matter who she is, we are not going to agree with her to have relations with Denmark Group unless she shows us her ability!"
Looking at them calmly, Hazel said with a faint smile, "So, you gentlen helped by preparing the exam questions in advance? If I don't pass your test, you won't care about your relationship with my parents and will definitely kick out of Denmark Group, right?"
The directors were a bit embarrassed because it looked as if they were deliberately ganging up on her, she was just a young girl. But it was really what they were doing…
One of the directors hardened his heart and continued, "We're also doing this for Denmark Group's future. Besides, even Mr. President started from the bottom and got our recognition step by step. You must be no exception, right?"
Joshua was trying to say sothing when Hazel suddenly pinched his palm.
He looked at Hazel in surprise, but she gave him a determined look.
"Without further ado. What kind of problems have you prepared for ?" she asked in a quiet voice.
Joshua let out a sigh. Hazel had a mind of her own. She didn't notice the directors were trying to set up a trap by provoking her, but she jumped in it anyway.
The directors bead, and one of them said at once, "Well, we won't give you a hard problem, lest you think we are trying to bully you. The coffee produced at a coffee factory owned by Denmark Group is very popular, and the sales volu has been quite stable. You can go there for three months as an intern and increase their sales volu by 10%. How about that?"
Hazel frowned slightly. It might sound so kind, but she was not stupid enough to believe it. There must be sothing wrong with that coffee factory.
What's more, even if there were really no problems, they would have plenty of opportunities to make trouble for her after she went. After all, it was a good deal to lose a coffee factory to stop her from completing her task.
"Okay, agreed!" she said in a deep voice before she got up calmly and looked around at the directors with various thoughts. "You'll see my strength!"
"We won't be able to see it even if we want to, right?" The director sneered. "The President is so protective of you. I'm afraid he will be able to solve any problems for you."
"Yes, we'll see the President's strength at the ti, so what's the point of all this?"
"Yeah, we are not unclear about the President's strength!"
Looking at the rowdy directors, Hazel suddenly thought they were no more than that. In fact, she was very nervous when she saw so many directors. Gradually, however, their aura of success faded, and her nervousness completely dissipated.
"What do you want to do then?" She said a little sarcastically. "For the next three months, you can arrange for two people to follow Joshua and and spy on us from ti to ti, keeping us out of contact?"
Of course, that would be what they wanted to do, but they also knew that if they did make such an extravagant request, Joshua would never let them go.
"That's not necessary," the director said. "We trust the President very much. As long as he assures us that he won't give you any help, it'll be okay."
Hazel was a bit surprised by Joshua's high authority among the directors. However, even though they trusted and feared Joshua, they still chose to pick on her. It seed that interests could really make people crazy.
"Just say yes." Hazel nudged Joshua.
Joshua's glance swept over all the directors. The atmosphere in the eting room suddenly froze, and everyone felt a chill on their back.
"I can agree," said Joshua quietly, "but, if I find out who is deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes, you mustn't bla for being cruel!"
The directors' backs seed to stiffen slightly, and they were all afraid to look at Joshua.
At the end of the eting, Joshua asked Jaxson to prepare materials about the coffee factory, and he took Hazel back to the office.
"Joshua, I know I'm impulsive today," she said before he spoke. "But the directors made it clear they wanted to find fault, so of course I wanted them to see what I could do? You aren't angry, are you?"
"I'm not angry," he said with so resignation. "It's just that you shouldn't have agreed so quickly. At least, I can get you to do sothing else, proving your ability to them."
"Since you say so, does this coffee factory really have a problem?" She blinked, "Wouldn't it be better if I did et their conditions?"
"It's not that simple." He frowned slightly. "That coffee factory is owned by Denmark Group, but it's self-financing…"
"Wait!" she interrupted, surprised. "Didn't you promise them not to help ?"
