Time Travel to Become Your Sweetheart novel Chapter 88

"I can vote for this, but I don't think I can convince these shareholders."

Linda shrugged. One vote of them was already difficult to get, let alone five more votes were needed to reach the required two-thirds majority.

It was a difficult thing even for William himself.

Moreover, Jane had taken the place of Mr. William to attend the shareholders' meeting. Since he was not here, as his wife, Jane should know the design concept of the project if she wanted to convince these shareholders.

Unless there was a miracle.

There were indeed unions between shareholders, after all, no one was an idiot.

Some shareholders opposed the project of the underwater hotel for their own interests.

After voting, Jane thought that there were only three yes votes, but she got five. To her surprise, the only foreigner chose to support her.

Five voted for and seven votes against. Obviously, the project didn't get passed.

Andrew sighed. He really did his best.

"How about listening to me now. When I'm done, if you still think that it is not feasible, Mr. William will not mention the project anymore."

Jane smiled and remained calm.

The meeting was still broadcasting live. Netizens kept sending their comments, and most of them agreed with shareholders' decisions.

It took much time and effort to build an underwater hotel, and the investment in it was risky.

"I want to know how Mrs. Duncan will persuade the shareholders."

"Look, Mrs. Duncan was not anxious even though the proposal was not passed."

"Mrs. Duncan has a good temperament and she is indeed a genteel woman!"

The comments were refreshing, and there was a different comment: Jane said that Mr. William would no longer mention it. Has she ever asked him for his opinion?

William was slightly sober, but he was almost fainted by Jane's words.

"Sir, it's not madam's fault for the result."

It was expected that the project wouldn't get passed. Jane didn't make a mistake, and she shouldn't be blamed.

Lainey did not approve. In her opinion, it was just a project, and Jane had done well for she dared to attend the shareholders' meeting.

William said, "..."

He found that he could not refute Lainey. Indeed, he was not completely confident of getting the project passed.

These shareholders had said that they would consider the project, but they soon became merciless at the shareholders' meeting. How hypocritical they were!

Jane was at least his woman, but they still treat her callously, did they ignore his existence?

William's expression darkened as he watched the live broadcast. He remembered what the shareholders had said and planned to get them back later.

"Sir, madam has something to say. What can she say? Is pleading useless to save the situation?"

That question also puzzled everyone, especially William, whose eyebrows were tightly knitted. He was the president of the Duncan Group, and he should be respected by all. If Jane got humiliated...

William thought, and became serious.

In the international conference room of the Duncan Tower, the shareholders' meeting was going on.

Frederic nodded at Jane. Jane stood up and knocked on the table. She just wanted to make herself more imposing by standing.

"About the underwater hotel project, some people thought it would cost a lot and the investment in it would not be repaid soon. Some people thought that there were many difficulties in promoting this project."

"But there were two sides to every project."

"One shareholder says that Mr. William is going to pay 40 billion for fulfilling his dreams regardless of the consequence. I have to say, he's wrong."
