Chapter 571: Chapter 571: If a Woman is Not Ruthless, Her Status Cannot Be Secure

Secretary-general Saunders slightly raised his eyebrows, his voice faint, “Unclear! Secretary Grace Ziegler, in workplace survival, I suggest you talk less and do more!”

With a faint smile, Secretary-general Saunders ignored Grace Ziegler’s embarrassment and took the tray from her.

With a polite nod, Secretary-general Saunders stepped past Grace Ziegler and walked toward the CEO’s office.

He knocked on the door, and only after getting permission, he opened the door and went in.

Grace Ziegler was still standing in place, resentfully staring at the tightly closed door.

She didn’t expect that her days in the CEO’s office would not be much better after Secretary Nelson left.

It seems that this male secretary is not easy to deal with either.

Serving a few cups of coffee, and he even had to take the credit. How petty!

A hint of disdain in her eyes, she glanced at the tightly closed door one more time. Finally, Grace Ziegler felt a bit relieved and returned to her seat.

There was a personnel change in the corporation, Grace Ziegler heard about it and also saw the announcement issued by HR.

Although she didn’t like Grace Martinez, Grace Ziegler endured it and dealt with her.

After all, she had just joined Marshall Corporation and needed to rely on Grace Martinez for networking.

She interacted with Grace Martinez because of the latter’s connections within Marshall Corporation, otherwise, she would not bother with her.

The sudden sidelining of Grace Martinez came as a surprise to Grace Ziegler. However, such is the brutality of the workplace, where women have to be ruthless to secure their positions.

Without a little cunning and a few tactics, it’s impossible to climb up the ladder.

…

Once he set down the coffee, Secretary-general Saunders tactfully left the room.

Clearly, Chief Daniel Marshall was in a private meeting and didn’t like being disturbed. Grace Ziegler was truly being foolish.

Although they hadn’t worked together for long, Alexander Saunders had an indescribable feeling about this woman. However, having seen all sorts of people in the business world, Saunders understood well.

He simply didn’t want to comment on other people’s affairs.

Since his senior trusted him, he would definitely manage his duties as a secretary well and wouldn’t allow anyone to overstep.

If anyone wanted to get any information from him, there was no chance!

Sitting at her desk, Grace Ziegler worked while occasionally sneaking glances at Secretary-general Saunders.

Seeing Secretary-general Saunders come out so quickly, Grace Ziegler finally felt a little balanced in her heart.

In the CEO’s office, the meeting paused for everyone to have a sip of coffee, before continuing the discussion.

The expression of Daniel Marshall was inscrutable, his keen eyes unfalteringly staring at Oliver Johnson, “How much do you estimate the stock market will drop by closing? How much capital has been invested so far?”

Oliver Johnson responded without hesitation, “If the drop by closing is less than 3%, we win. The former chairman’s car accident causing panic is in the minority. However, many people will speculate whether the current structure of Marshall Corporation will change and how personnel changes will be made.

I think, the majority of capital is more concerned with the will of the former chairman, than with the extent of his injuries. Further, investors are more interested in knowing who the will of the former chairman is inclined towards, as this will determine the future direction of Marshall Corporation.”

Daniel Marshall picked up a cigarette case, casually took out a cigarette and lit it. He smoked with an air of sophistication and grace.

Daniel Marshall’s sexy thin lips parted slightly, exhaling a faint smoke ring, “Sell as much as you can buy!”

After glancing at the stock market trend chart for a bit, Oliver Johnson began calmly, “From the current trend, the drop isn’t large and we all have been buying. The addition of Jimmy Gordon and Emily Bailey to Marshall Corporation has also had some effect. It seems the public speculates that you are the successor appointed by the former chairman.”

“No matter who it is, no one will take Marshall Corporation away from me.” Daniel Marshall’s eyes were sharp as if piercing through everything, his exquisite features emanated an inborn regal quality.

Suddenly, Adam Howard exclaimed, “Daniel, look quickly, the fall in stock price is too strange!”
