Offer To The CEO

302 Before the Press Conference - Part 4

Monday, continued …

Anna observed the look on Assistant Director Su the moment that he realised that he had been found out, and she had backed him into a corner.All he could stutter out as an answer was "Madam Yao or Madam Hou?"Otherwise it was so quiet that you could have heard a pin drop.

Anna, however, could not help herself, but to remain firm and ready to react."You got it right the second time.Now I need your answer, or do I call my husband and tell him to get rid of you?"

"I am not going to say anything Madam Hou?"Again, with the tone in his voice, Anna realised that he was terrified about what she was about to do.The look that Anna could see on people around her was surprising.They really wanted to see what he did, and that was something that Anna thought was unusual.

"Well I am going to take that to mean you are happy for me to release the board minutes."

"Please do not Madam Hou."By the time that he finished speaking, the looks that Anna could see around her, meant that many people there were highly interested to see what in fact he did say at the board meeting.Former Director Su must have seen those same looks and being aware that what Anna said was the truth he did not want them to see those minutes, as it would expose his lies.

There then was dead silence from Former Director Su and Acting Director Mein.At that point Anna was certain that she had them backed into a corner.Anna also knew that Former Director Su, was terrified that something else might come out.That was interesting and could be something that needed to be investigated to determined if there is a long-term threat to the company.That would be something that she needed to talk later to Hou Yi about investigating.

Anna took a deep breath and continued "Now, please listen to me everyone.The rearrangement of the department is a trial and let me stress a trial that has come from feedback that has been provided from multiple overseas lawyers who have been here on short term secondment.They have been in various sections throughout the department and their reports fed back to senior management is universal.The whole system is inefficient."

"The decision my husband have, not only took into account that feedback but my opinion after having spent a short period of time working within the department was to rearrange the department to the current arrangement.It is about promoting a collaborative approach throughout all levels of the department, not simply having it facilitated through senior management."

"Now, I will reinforce what I said this arrangement is a trial and it will be given six to twelve months to see what are the benefits to the company.There will be ongoing reviews throughout the life of the trial to determine whether this is working or not."Anna paused and looked at Amanda moving her head towards the elevators.Amanda gave a short nod before Anna continued "I believe I should leave so this can be discussed more freely."

Amanda then clearly made her presence known."And while I hesitate to call you gentleman, this ongoing disrespect to females is shocking.Assistant Director Su, what you demonstrated in the board meeting was degrading.You treated me as if I was trash, which is something I have observed that you have shown to women on and off throughout the years."

"You are selfish and self-absorbed as all you could think about you.I sincerely hope during the open recruitment process, whether it is an internal candidate, or an external candidate appointed you Acting Director Mien are not considered for the position, as you let your predecessor belittle staff without acting to protecting them."

Both of them moved towards the elevator, and there was a few members of staff that could not be seen clapping as they got to the elevator and took it down to the floor they worked on.

When they return downstairs Anna and Amanda entered Anna office and shut the door behind them.Anna sat on a chair, and Amanda on the couch, and they then burst into laughter given the reactions on the former director and acting director when they exposed their lies.

Amanda was the first who could speak."Did you see their faces when you called the behaviour.They though they could undermine everyone and get rid of us quickly with lies and manipulation."
