“Uncle Roger, don’t you remember that both Wayne and Jane have been directly appointed?” Hannah
continued sincerely, “Uncle Roger, I believe you will handle it fairly instead of showing bias against me.”
“Bias against you? What do you mean?” Roger was rendered embarrassedly livid.
“Well, since you have no bias against me, you mean both your kids should be appointed after being
carefully tested just like me, right?” asked Hannah.
Roger was choked. He had no idea how to respond. Meanwhile, Hannah hinted at her dad. Now it was
time for Miguel to make a fair judgement.
Roger had been throwing his weight around as the brother of the chief executive. For all these years,
Miguel had been in a difficult position because of that. Undoubtedly, it must be Roger who tried to rig
the conference today. Now he finally sowed the wind and reaped the whirlwind.
Miguel cleared his voice, “Hannah, thanks for your reminder, now I notice that the appointments of both
Wayne and Jane need to be adjusted. Actually, what Mr Watson has suggested was right, we can’t
directly appoint those from the family to an important position while we aren’t sure if they are capable
enough. The rumor itself doesn’t really matter. However, it would be a big loss if the company gets
negative impact.”
Roger remained silent. Before that, he only conspired to embarrass Hannah but he failed to recall that
he himself also directly appointed both his kids to the position in the same way. Nor did he expect that
Hannah managed to grab this chance to initiative an unexpected counterattack.
A while later, Miguel continued as Roger didn’t respond, “Well, if there’s no objection, that’s it.”
Roger turned a bit sullen. Though he remained silent, he still had objection to express. So he hurried to
hint at Maxwell.
Of course, Maxwell also noticed that. However, he had clear understanding about his own position—if
he were to express objection at this moment, it would prove that they did show bias against Hannah.
So he simply ignored Roger’s hint with his eyes fixed on his phone, pretending to deal with something
important.
Gritting his teeth, Roger was left no alternative but to keep silent. Any further remark from him would be
a proof of his bias against Hannah. He couldn’t afford to lose his reputation.
“Wayne, appointed as the director of integrated department, would be hard to be evaluated. But luckily,
the director of public relation would like to return to the branch located in his hometown. I suggest
Wayne should resign from the current position, while the deputy director will take his place. Then
Wayne will be appointed to lead the public relation department.” Miguel started to rearrange the
appointment.
Hearing that, Roger couldn’t sit by anymore. Regardless of his concern about his own reputation, he
hurried to cut in, “I am afraid it’s not a good idea. Why should we get Wayne transferred to another
position while he’s doing well in his current position? It’s a kind of unnecessary formalism. I would like
to agree that Mary needs more experience as a newcomer of the company. But Wayne has been
serving for the company for three years. Since now he’s doing well in the position, with due respect, I
don’t think the reassignment is necessary.”
“But I heard that Wayne wasn’t actually making any achievement.” Hannah interrupted.
Roger looked irritated, “Don’t you hear what your dad was saying? Unlike the sales department, the
performance of integrated department is hard to be evaluated. His work mostly relates to administrative
matter inside the office.”
“That’s why my dad is gonna appoint him to the public relation department.”
“You!” Roger got choked again.
“Oh, Uncle Roger, are you gonna bias my dad’s decision?”
“Shut up!” Roger clearly vented out his anger.
“Enough!” Miguel huffed seriously.
Roger was rendered stunned. Undoubtedly, as the chief executive, Miguel was more superior than
Roger.
“Fair standard outweighs everything. Hannah has been through rigorous test since she was appointed.
Both Wayne and Mary should be of no exception.” Said Miguel strongly.
Then he added, “From now on, Wayne will be appointed to lead the public relation department. Here
are the reasons. Firstly, there are several challenging projects needed to be handled, which is a
wonderful chance to evaluate Wayne’s ability. Secondly, integrated department is a division strongly
require leadership of efficient administrative arrangement. So a sophisticated directorship is a must,

achievement in the public relation department, I am sure you can perfectly handle the leadership of
integrated department. And it will be more convincing when he returns to the position.”
Obviously, Miguel’s explanation was perfectly arranged—he not only clearly demonstrated his reason,
but also made a flawless arrangement for Wayne’s career. Meanwhile, it satirized Roger for his petty
personality.
“Now here is the goal I set for Wayne based on Mary’s schedule. In three months, he needs to finish
the project of the international amusement park, the most challenging one among those we have taken
over. In six months, he needs to help the market exploration department to double a year-on-year
revenue growth.” Said Miguel firmly.
Roger was pissed. Undoubtedly, it was a mission impossible. However, compared with Hannah’s goal
she set for her own, it was of the same standard. So he couldn’t figure out any excuse to refute.
“As for Mary…” Miguel didn’t ask for any opinion. Instead, he acted decisively as a leader, “In three
months, she needs to complete a marketing proposal on her own, from which the marketing
performance should double. In six months, the revenue generated by the sales department should
double as well.”
Roger turned livid again. From his perspective, such an arrangement felt like a death sentence to both
Hannah and Mary. If Hannah failed to reach the goal, Mary would be involved. He started suspecting if
it was a conspiracy planned by both Hannah and Miguel.
Miguel simply ignored their reaction. Then he added, “Just as Hannah promised, if she fails the goal,
she will leave the Cooper Group forever. Of course, that’s her own decision. I won’t make it the same
tough for both Mary and Wayne. However, if they failed the goal, just as what Mr Watson has
suggested, both of them will start their job at the bottom level.”
