Chapter 1051 - 339: The Directors Decision

"Yes, you are so shameless."

The man was furious. But he could not help but lower his head after hearing Joshua say that about him. He may be able to bully Hazel, but he was afraid to offend Joshua.

The man clenched his teeth. "If we really misunderstood you, we would apologize."

"If the apology was useful, why do we need police?" Hazel said sarcastically.

"Then I'll slap you, do you mind if I apologize?"

"What do you want to say?" asked the other directors.

"Your 5 percent of the shares," Joshua said.

"What?!" The directors suddenly burst into the discussion. Even though it was Joshua who said it, they were also somewhat unsettled.

Hazel was shocked. She looked at Joshua. However, she did not think of any good ideas, taking away 5 percent of the shares from each of them. It was a great deal of money for them, Joshua suddenly looked greedy.

Joshua looked at them coldly. The next moment, he reached out and knocked on the conference table.

The meeting room gradually calmed down. But one of the directors was dissatisfied and stood up. "President, we can't promise this thing! Even if we slandered Manager Crowe, you can't take away shares? At least you have to give us an explanation about it!"

"Well, let me tell you why." Joshua said indifferently, "First, this report was approved by me. If you don't believe it and question it, then you are questioning me. Since you question me, of course, you have to pay the price!"

"Secondly, Hazel was exhausted during this period of time, and she still had such brilliant achievements. You guys just sit in the conference room, drink tea and chat with others. If you slander others, shouldn't you give Hazel some compensation?"

"Third, when Hazel was born, you or your fathers had promised that you would give out a part of the shares to give her a dowry. No one forced you. It is voluntary, and now it was time to keep the promise!"

After Joshua stated his points, everyone's facial expression turned ugly. The words Joshua spoke were logical, so they had no way to refute and had no way to retaliate.

"Or..." Joshua looked at them coldly. "You can also choose to be hated by me. Don't worry, I can hate someone for a long time."

Everyone was angry and helpless. Joshua was threatening without reason. What made them crazy was that they had no way to deal when they were being threatened.

"I am willing to believe in Manager Crowe..." a director whispered.

"I am also willing to believe..."

There were a few sounds in the conference room, and then more and more people said it.

Hazel's lips were twitching. The straightforward method that Joshua used forced the directors to change their minds. However, she was somewhat surprised, even the fiercest directors still did not seem to be obedient.

"I insisted on setting up an investigation team!" One of the directors gnawed his teeth. "If I really destroy the manager, then I am willing to take out 5 percent of the shares in my hands as compensation!"

"I am willing too!"

"And I!"

Joshua's eyes darkened. The directors weren't normally rebellious. However, when they had to face Hazel, they seemed to be persistent. A few of them were the older directors who had gone through difficult times with her parents.

There was something wrong...

Hazel was also somewhat surprised, but she had already said it, and she did not need to be afraid. After all, she was really not afraid at all.

"Well, I welcome your investigation teams to visit the coffee factory at any time!" She said,

After the meeting was concluded, Hazel and Joshua returned to the office with a dignified look. She couldn't help but say, "Joshua, don't worry. I have confidence in the coffee factory, even if they really go to investigate, they won't find anything!"

"I'm not worried about this." Joshua frowned. "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Those directors..."

"What happened to those directors?" Hazel asked curiously. "I think they are very old, and they should be the veterans of the company?"

"Yes." Joshua nodded. "They have a good relationship with Fred."

"Fred?" Hazel asked. "Didn't you arrange for him to go to another city? If it is really related to him, then he really hasn't stopped. He first arranged an undercover agent to be by Susan's side and let these directors deliberately embarrass me, what exactly does he want to do?"

"I don't know," Joshua said. "I told him to come back two days ago. He said that he would handle the work at hand and only can return to the city when it is completed."

Hazel frowned. "But, didn't he use Laura to instruct others to set the fire?"

"Laura is in contact with the people around him, and there is no direct evidence." Joshua said, "Our director Cohen is clever."

Just like the last time Hazel was in danger, he couldn't find out for sure that Fred orc.h.e.s.trated it, but he still transferred him away from the city.

"That can only wait for him to come back now," Hazel said.

"Yeah." Joshua nodded. What he was worried about now was that the directors were deliberately delaying, he was afraid that they wanted to cooperate with Fred.

However, if Fred can arrange for someone to be undercover at Susan's side, will they do the same to Hazel...

Joshua clenched his fists tightly.

"Hazel," he said. "Since they want to set up an investigation team, you should avoid it in the coffee factory for a while. Don't go there again. Just take the time to work at Joshua-Hazel Pictures, okay?

"Joshua-Hazel Pictures is now on the right track, and I am busy," Hazel said with amazement.

"There is still a very important thing that you seem to have totally forgotten." Joshua was desperate.

"What?" Hazel asked curiously.

"After another month, you will graduate. How about your graduation thesis?" He whispered.

"Ah!" Hazel couldn't help but exclaim, "Is there only one month left?! That is terrible, I forget!"

"...the rest of the month, you just prepare your graduation thesis," Joshua said with a sigh. "You don't need to worry about the coffee factory. I will help you keep an eye on it. The most important thing is successfully getting your diploma."

"Okay!" Hazel nodded. She sighed with relief. "Fortunately, you reminded me, but how do you remember it so clearly?"

Joshua' throat felt tight. After Hazel graduated, it meant they could get married, and then the rules would expire. How couldn't he remember it?
