The Ditzy Heiress Fires Her CEO のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Her outburst left me completely stunned."But... the company's been making money this whole time..."Brynn sneered."And you think that's thanks to you?"You're a useless freeloader who lies around collecting dividends. How do you have the nerve to sit in the chairwoman's office?"I pressed my lips together."But the chairwoman does get dividends. And the chairwoman's supposed to sit in the chairwoman's office. What's wrong with that...?"For some reason, that seemed to make her so mad she laughed."So you think you're entitled to it?"She grabbed my wrist and dragged me straight out of my office.I stumbled after her all the way to the open floor of the main office."Everybody, stop what you're doing! This is Mabel Kingsley, the chairwoman of Kingsley Technologies!"All of you should take a good look at who you're working your butts off to make money for!"Brynn narrowed her eyes at me."I won't make this hard on you. I'll just ask about one recent technical decision tha

The moment the words left my mouth, I actually felt a little sheepish."Mom and Dad are probably still busy and haven't gotten back yet."Could you talk it over with them first for me, Graham...?"Graham didn't even ask why."Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley gave instructions a long time ago."If you feel anyone at the company isn't a good fit, simply replace them."Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief."Then could you line up a suitable candidate ahead of time? They can start on Monday."Monday came in the blink of an eye, the day of the annual board meeting.The directors had just received hefty dividends, and every one of them was beaming."Mr. Frost, this year's numbers are spectacular!""If next year's big project lands too, Kingsley Technologies' market cap could go up again!""You're young and accomplished, Mr. Frost. The company's going to be counting on you to lead it for years!"The way they were acting, they'd practically already crowned Leander as the Kingsleys' futur

The directors who'd looked so sour a moment ago started scrambling to backpedal."Mr. Penrose is certainly impressive.""But no matter how impressive he is, you can't just swap leadership like that.""Mr. Frost has been here for years. His projects, his clients, his connections, all of that needs to be handed over.""For a company this size, if you're going to suddenly replace the CEO, you at least have to give Mr. Frost time for a proper handover. If something goes wrong tomorrow, who's responsible?"Before I could say anything, one director spoke up coldly."If the Kingsleys are going to operate this irresponsibly, then there's no reason for me to stay on as a director."I'm resigning from the board."At that, several other directors went quiet too.It was an obvious threat.I panicked a little, because I really didn't understand any of this.If they actually quit, would something go wrong with the company?Graham didn't so much as raise an eyebrow."Be my guest."The d

His expression slowly froze."Take last year's renewable energy project. You were in such a rush to get ahead of schedule that you added investment without following the company's approval process."Then the project ran into supply chain problems and almost shut down completely. Who fixed that in the end?"I did. I asked Dad to pull some strings and get the supply chain back up and running."I kept flipping."And then there's the overseas order from two years ago. There was a liability clause in the follow-up contract, but you were so eager to land the deal that you had Legal sign it right away. Later, the client suddenly changed the delivery terms."If the contract had been enforced as written, the company would've owed over a hundred million in damages. Who negotiated our way out of that?"I looked at Mom."I did. I asked Mom to step in and smooth it over."And there's plenty more."I don't understand this stuff, so I don't really know how to judge your work."But I do kno
